- "Leap into the vid-chat pond"
- Version reviewed: Camfrog Video Chat 3.81.21234
If you're sick of hopping from one chatware program to another, looking for the perfect mix of video, audio and text socializing, CamFrog might be what you're looking for.
The chat rooms feature everything from music lessons to sign language to non-English chatting, and integrating video, audio, and text components are a great leap forward for chat communities since a Web cam is not a requirement. Be warned, though: There's also a slew of x-rated chat rooms; this is not a program that kids should use without supervision.
The interface should be familiar to anyone who has used any messaging software. You can create your own chat room and password-protect it, and the Contacts list has a section for favorite rooms and one-click contact adding, user searching, and profile management.
The interface could have been better designed, though. Chat rooms open in a new window, room participants get another, the user control panel gets a third one, and the video window makes four. A design that kept everything together but distinct would add far less clutter to your taskbar and screen.
Despite those drawbacks, if you're looking for a well-trafficked video chat program that serves a diverse community, CamFrog is cool place to land.

Version: Camfrog Video Chat 3.81.21234
"A Fantastic Video Chat Program"
Pros: It's FREE if you want only one camara, and normal size. The pro version is only $50...with free upgrades for life.
You can have up to 100 camara's on the screen at a time.
It supports more than one monitor. So if you want you can have your webcams all on another monitor.
Privicy mode for the girls...so they don't get a load of PM. For the guys there is a locater mode. So it will tell you where the person in your friend list is. (As long as they allow location searches...plus you have to have the pro version.)
There are a lot of people using this program...and a lot of rooms.
For adults they have 18 and over chat rooms. Which was where most of the people who were using the program were in. Clothing optional. ;P
Cons: You really can't chat in the chatroom. Even if you turn off entering and exiting notification it still will scroll very fast.
The rooms can sometimes be moderated by Op's that are KICK crazy. So make sure your on cam at all times.
Depending on the room you go into there can be slow down. There are some rooms that can handle 1000 people in it and some that can't.
In all of the 18+ rooms you need a webcam to enter. It's to make sure your over 18.
This does have Adware in it. It's the Weather Channel Icon. You don't need to install it but if you just kept clicking next on the install it would install it.
