OOVOO currently only have version for Mac and PC. To run it in Ubuntu, you need Wine.

Wine allows you to run Windows applications on a Linux operating system. For more information on Wine check their Website. You can install Wine from the Ubuntu Software Center.

Also you may want to check out OpenTok. Its the Linux alternative to OOVOO.

I’m a dedicated and highly energetic person who thrives in pressure situations and can be counted on when the going gets tough. Skilled in Network Administration, File Servers, and Windows Workstations and other related systems. I enjoy providing inventive direction and out of the box thinking. Values commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer service. I have been a windows man since windows 1. I have been and IT person for a little over 27 years, and I totally love it. I have been using windows, and MAC OS, and I have to say that I liked MAC OS better than windows, and I have been using it for about 10 years now. A dear friend told me about Ubuntu back in 2012, so I went ahead and downloaded it and installed it on a trial basis, but it turned out that I have a new OS. Since I have removed windows from my machine, and have been using Ubuntu from that point forward.

@BhikkhuSubhuti I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. I would recommend the latest release of OOVOO

Don't comment (and possibly down vote me) if you have not tried it. I did. It does not work and there is a link on wine hq that says it installs (true) but does not work when you you try to use it to log in or anything else (true).. and all is still true as of today. Please have some etiquette.

Open Tok is for professionals and charges money LOTS of money. Do not bother to go the website as I did
