O stars are located in a domain of the HRD where nonradial pulsations are expected. Photometric surveys did not reveal pulsating O stars, showing that the amplitudes must be very small. Intensive spectroscopic studies yielded pulsation modes for very few O stars only, although many are line-profile variables. Wind contamination of many spectral lines is a major difficulty. Future concentrated spectroscopic efforts will undoubtedly increase the number of pulsating O stars.

The current status of our knowledge of pulsations in these stars is reviewed. From one specific example a critical attitude emerges towards the quantitative results reached so far. We also address the question whether non-radial pulsation can be the cause of the non-spherical time-dependent winds of these stars.
