Lots of chat rooms

When you log into a Camfrog forum room, the rules are made clear – “No disturbing the room with repeated text or spamming” and “No nudity or asking others to get nude”, for example. The main Camfrog Video Chat room is chaos though. Because there are several people all communicating at once, all you see is a flurry of random messages between users. Click on a contact, and you can usually see their webcam, though some “lurkers” may choose to have their camera off.

Simple but dated

You can also hear Camfrog Video Chat conversations intermittently like you’re tuning in and out of a radio. In general, the whole thing is quite confusing. It would be fine to have a one-on-one chat on Camfrog Video Chat but interacting with several different users at once is like trying to catch rainwater. If nothing else, it’s amusing just looking at people on their webcams who look equally confused as they stare at the Camfrog Video Chatmessages scrolling past and scratch their heads. You also get the sense of a voyeur at times. It’s quite odd to accidentally tune into a conversation between a guy who’s explaining to his girlfriend that she and Camfrog Video Chat are the best things that ever happened to him!

The Camfrog Video Chat video and sound quality are pretty good and it’s amazing how many people are online. It’s much nicer to meet people “face-to-face” in this way rather than just chatting with them anonymously. It would be good to be able to expand the size of the video, but this is only available in the pro version. The same goes for seeing multiple videos at once. The overall Camfrog Video Chat interface looks a bit dated.

A good time with plenty of possibilities

There are plenty of people online and Camfrog Video Chat has a lot of potential as a group collaboration tool. And, if you just want to meet friends, you shouldn’t have any problems if you persevere.
