Announcing Gruveo

After months of hard work, we are happy to announce Gruveo – a simple way to establish instant video calls right in your browser, no software or registration required.

As probably most people out there, we love video calling our friends and loved ones. However, sometimes there are just too many hoops to jump through to make a simple video call. You have to install software, register for an account and add the other person to your contact list. Only then can the coveted video call take place.

Gruveo eliminates all of these hurdles. Instead of asking you to install software, Gruveo runs in your browser using what is most probably already there – Adobe Flash. And instead of registering and adding each other to your contact lists, you simply agree with the other person on some number and then both enter it on www.gruveo.com to connect. That’s it!

Gruveo calls are not just super-easy to make, they are also private and secure. To begin with, there are no registrations, so your identity remains completely anonymous – even to the other party if you so choose. Then there’s the complete, end-to-end, industry-standard encryption of all calls taking place on Gruveo. And finally, after a call has been established, it’s sealed: nobody else can connect to it even if they enter the same number.

Oh, and you can also make voice-only calls on Gruveo as well as exchange text messages during your call.

So try Gruveo today and let us know what you think!
