What is Video E-mail? – The next evolution of communication for the entire world. It is the process of sending video via email. Our approach is unique in that the video file does not act as an attachment to the email. Instead the video is stored on the systems servers and viewers of your message are driven to a URL from which your message is streamed to the viewer.

What is Streaming Media? - A protocol that allows audio/video files to be delivered via the internet. The term "streaming" means that the file is played in real time as it is being received, as opposed to waiting for the entire file to be downloaded before playing. When you select the New Video Message feature you use the video recorder to compose a video message that when complete, is sent as a Video-Mail to your message recipient.

What special equipment do I need? - The only equipment needed to create and send Video Mails is a webcam. The proprietary technology is web-based so you do not need to download any third party programs that can interfere with your computer.

Will the file size be too large for my recipient's inbox? - When you send a Video-Mail, you are sending a link to view your video, not a file attachment so the size of the message is small. Your actual video resides on our servers and is streamed to your viewer when they click on the link located in the email.

Do my recipients or I need a high speed Internet access? - No, you can send and receive Video-Mail regardless of your Internet connection since viewers can select between low medium and high formats.

What makes helloWorld unique? – Well first of all there are absolutely no program downloads required to create or view Video-Mails.
