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 Webcam 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. New in Version 5 is high-resolution video support, interface tweaks, and the ability to send little "virtual gifts" to both friends and anonymous recipients that borders on the annoying.
Cautious users should note that the install includes several toolbars and a Weather Channel widget, which you can opt out of. 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.

"hard to play hard to dowload"
Pros: At least you can chat live with other ppl if you download this software(but i wouldn't download it if i were you)
Cons: When I downloaded the installer my computer said camfrog contained spyware-_-
Summary: First of all Download Camfrog and explore what it has to offer. You do not need a webcam to enter all the rooms although some rooms require one. Camfrog is just an addictive and fun way to relax and spend your spare time

"Awesome and Addictive Video Confrence Experience"
Pros: Free version is always free. If you upgrade to the Pro Version which is more feature rich you do not have to pay for new releases. There is something for everyone on Camfrog. Full of Great People and a great place to gather with friends.
Cons: The newest version is 5.2 which is very nice but for one on one video confrencing it is not fully compatable with the previous versions. Users using enhanced emoticons gets annoying at times because they will not display if you do not have them.
