CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 3.90.22337
"Camfrog is an excellent program!"
Pros: I've tried all the webcam chat programs that are in existence. I've tried video chatting in AIM, Yahoo Chat, MSN, Paltalk, ICUII, Ispq, eyeball Chat, userplane.com, stickam.com, and CamFrog.
------------------------------------------
All I have to say is that CamFrog is the best webcam software out there. The quality of video, and sound are how they should be. Their simply Amazing.
-------------------------------------------
The free version lacks some features, and only allows you to view one webcam in a chat room at a time. The free version doesn't give it justice, but the upgraded version of Camfrog Is well worth the price.
------------------------------------------
Another great service is stickam.com. It's free, nothing to download! and you can broadcast your webcam live on their website, random people and other stickam members can come into your private room to chat with you. You have total control of the settings & options of your webcam room. You can embed the webcam room player on any website. It's awesome. The quality of video & sound varies, but the majority of the time it's excellent like Camfrog.
-------------------------------------------
If your looking to meet people and interact with others Camfrog & Stickam are your best options. Everything else sucks for the most part!
Cons: I wish they would allow free members to view more videos at once.
