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.

Version: Camfrog Video Chat 5.3.215
Pros: I don't like anything about version 5.3 because it constantly crashes. I downgraded to version 5.1 and it works fine. You will have to as a room op for a link for the 5.1 download. The visuals are AWESOME
Cons: this version crashes constantly. If you have version 5.1 just keep what you have and do not upgrade. It is essentially the same minus who knows what but you can't tell any difference except the 5.1 works and doesn't crash.
Summary: Stick with version 5.1. If you upgrade to a 5.3 version, it will constantly crash on your system. It does for EVERYONE.
