Thank you for your patience.

Camfrog Mac Client Block December 1

Starting December 1st all Mac Camfrog client versions before 1.7 will be blocked.

Camfrog Mac 1.7 has technology that makes it cross-compatible with our older Mac versions.  This means that if you are using Camfrog Mac 1.7 and an older version Mac user is viewing you then your bandwidth and CPU usage is doubled.  This is because your 1.7 Mac client is sending out two video streams.  One video stream is a 1.7 version video stream and the other is an earlier version video stream.  These double cross-compatible video streams also cause Camfrog client 1.7 to use more CPU resources and it causes people hosting Camfrog Servers to send out twice as much bandwidth.

We have given Camfrog Mac users since July (5 months) to upgrade to Camfrog 1.7 and we feel now is the right time to ask all Mac users to upgrade.  If you are having technical problems with 1.7 please report your problem so we can fix it as soon as possible.
