Camfrog Video Chat allows you to join real streaming video chat rooms where you can hear, see, and chat with many people at a time. Instant message a user to get to know them before you Webcam chat, and add them to your contact list. This videoconferencing software also works behind most firewalls and routers. Camfrog Video Chat allows multi-user videoconferencing where you can join a room with up to 1000 users and just click a user name to begin seeing someone. Press the 'talk' button to talk to the entire room with audio. The video chat rooms are hosted by broadband users who are running the Camfrog Video Chat Room Server software so any user can set up their own multi-user video conference for other users to join.
SpoilerReviewed 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.
Jovita ~ One of my top ten app+. Easy to use and a great communications tool. Beats Paltalk because its main features are all available in the free version and it doesn't pressure you into upgrading. That said the one-off payment for a lifetime license is well worth it.

Oh, oh. Better use LINUX.
Yes. I think I know what you meant by it earlier. Sorry if I came across a bit strange there...I guess I just personally never heard of it before, myself. What, with the tens-of-thousands of different applications out there.
....I guess it just shows you where I'm at, yes??
But you know what I like about this application you've listed here is this:
....Camfrog Video Chat allows multi-user videoconferencing where you can join a room with up to 1000 users...
that is pretty decent, I think.
