ReelPortal
Description
ReelPortal is an easy-to-use video chat and conference system designed by Thuyen Nguyen. The latest version, 1.0.8, brings improvements and features that cater to a future where small yet powerful video-capable devices are prevalent in homes and offices. The ultimate goal is to replace the traditional telephone with these always-on communication tools.
One of the best features of ReelPortal is the ability to call others directly using nicknames, be it a given name or phone number. This instant messaging solution eliminates the need for accounts and passwords for initiating calls. Users can identify callers by voice and face, just like with traditional telephone communication.
Additionally, ReelPortal offers the option to create unique private rooms for multi-way video conferences, making it ideal for connecting with friends and family. Joining a room requires only the room name and key, where participants automatically connect and engage in conversation.
Moreover, in a home or office setting, ReelPortal can serve as a local video intercom system. Its fault-tolerant logic ensures connections between devices remain intact even when networks (3G/WiFi) fluctuate, minimizing disruptions. This enhances its use as a free intercom system within local and global scopes with ease.
ReelPortal, developed by Thuyen Nguyen, supports Windows XP, 7, and 8 and is also available in previous versions like 1.0. The software is categorized under Communication with an emphasis on instant messaging. It is available as Freeware and can be downloaded freely.
