The new video call is a communication option between Viber users. Besides the classic text messaging, free calls and out-calls, Viber has introduced two new features recently. Viber has been redesigned for the desktop environment and it looks clean and modern with the usual gray & mov color scheme. Besides what you get in the mobile version, having Viber on the desktop means that you can use it on a bigger screen. Viber for Windows has the same functions as Viber for the Android system, yet it fits a bigger frame. Switching your attention between the monitor and the phone screen can strain the eyes and hurt the neck. What good is a mobile messaging app if it doesn't also have a desktop incarnation? Not very good, especially for people who spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen. Viber for Mac is a solid IM and VoIP client that's worth trying for anyone that's had enough of Skype and Messages.Yes it is. However, some users have already reported problems with syncing and the lack of ability to call mobiles is a bit disappointing. Viber for Mac generally syncs very reliably and efficiently and the quality of video-to-video on Mac is as good as anything Skype can offer.

You'll need to sign-up for a Viber account if you don't have one, which you are prompted to do when you setup the app.

Anyone who has used Skype or Messages will have no problems using Viber. The interface is very elegant and easy to use. You can make calls and video chats with other Macs but you can't yet make video calls to mobile devices or do video conferencing using Viber for Mac. Contacts are also synced, although some users already report some problems with this. Viber does a good job of making sure that wherever you left off on your mobile device, your chats can be picked up. The developer of Viber for Mac is keen to highlight that it has superior mobile syncing than competitor products. Although it doesn't offer all the functionality of the mobile versions, it's still a very worthy alternative. Millions already use Viber to chat and make video call on mobile but until now it wasn't possible to use Viber from your desktop. The desktop version of Viber is an interesting competitor to Skype and Messages for Mac.
