The most recent update of ooVoo removed the sidebar feature (https://i.gyazo.com/d48a15fc43faa949b072b4d76dc45612.jpg) that my group used with Fantasy Grounds. Does any know of any program that can emulate this?

Very cool video, but this is more for streaming. I am interested in a good one monitor video chat solution. ooVoo was perfect until this big update that removed the sidebar feature.

Yeah... Oovoo downgraded their software. Pity.

Yeah, I am waiting for the new Discord video chat to be released, it might include an overlay feature. For now my group is just going voice only.

I've recently (a few months) started using a video chat program called VSee, after seeing it as a requirement in an LFG thread. I really like it as you can place each individual person's video screen exactly where you want, at the size you want. The quality is good also. And it's free. It also includes an "Always on Top" button for each person, so I don't have to look at myself as I just don't tick that box for me, and I'm hidden behind the FG screen.

Maybe try it out?

Looks promising.
