Survey Finds That Americans Want Video Chat to Be Easier to Use for Friends and Family

One-in-Three Computer Users Would Video Chat More Often if Their Network of Friends and Family Could Easily Connect and Use the Same Service

NEW YORK, NY:  A June online survey commissioned by Paltalk®, the leading real-time, video-based community with more than 4 million active members, and conducted by Harris Interactive, found that what a majority of computer users are looking for in a video chat service is ease-of-use for themselves and their network of friends and family. Many adults who video chat said they would do so more often if their friends and family were able to easily use the service and were all signed into the same network. Nineteen percent said they would video chat more often if their friends and family didn’t find it difficult or knew how the service worked. Roughly the same number (18 percent) said they would video chat more if their friends and family were all on the same service. Additionally, over 1-in-4 computer users who say something would make them interested in trying to video chat (26%) say knowing that the service was easy to use would prompt them.

“This survey demonstrates that the video chat market has to become as ubiquitous as e-mail in order to become fully adopted, meaning that the service sits on users’ desktops and can be connected to easily by friends and family on their contact list,” said Jason Katz, CEO of Paltalk. “Earlier this year, Paltalk took a step closer to this ubiquity through our SuperIM URL service and will be announcing social network integration later this year.”

Other key findings from the survey:

Video chat has grown exponentially over the past couple of years, both in number of users and technological support. However, the amount of different services, software, and interfaces, creates an obstacle to connecting directly with friends and family. Paltalk’s SuperIM URL overcomes this obstacle by directly connecting a user’s colleagues, friends or family, regardless of which network, browser or IM service they might use, through a personalized URL.

For more information about SuperIM URL, please visit http://www.paltalk.com/superim.
