Sylaps For Mac

Sylaps is an online service that enables users to create chat rooms in a matter of seconds, and supports video or audio calls, text messaging and file sharing.

Initially designed as a web app, it is also offered as a native OS X application, enabling you to chat with your friends without having to use a web browser.

The main advantage Sylaps offers is the ease with which it can be set up. If you only want to start a quick conversation, there is no need to create an account or configure any complex settings.

All you need to do is create a room, and then send the generated URL to whoever you want to chat with. Since the Sylaps service can be accessed from most web browsers, they do not even need to install the desktop application. It is worth noting, however, that voice and video calls are only supported by Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.

Mobile users can take advantage of the Sylaps iOS and Android apps, so you should have no problem finding your friends, no matter where they are.

Sylaps supports text, voice and video chat, as well as file sharing. There is no limit to how many users can join a room, but more than eight video or audio connections are not recommended for performance and quality reasons.

Of course, creating a Sylaps account does come with its advantages. You can Import your contacts from various social networking services, such as Google+, Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo, making it a lot easier to send invitations.

The interface is well-designed, as it is very easy to move video windows in any arrangement, transfer files and send invitations. However, the text displayed in the chat window is too small, and it is not possible to increase its dimensions.

Overall, this is a handy OS X app that brings the Sylaps web app to your desktop. It enables you to make video or audio calls, send text messages and share files across a large number of platforms.
