Camfrog Video Chat is a modern chat client that allows real time video, audio and text chats with up to thousands of participants. The tool enables seeing, speaking and writing to other chat room members simultaneously. Not all video chats require you to have a Webcam, so you can also participate without a camera. Camfrog chats are either private or public and you can make calls to mobile or landline phones. A range of parental controls in Camfrog Video Chat help to protect minors from revealing too much of their privacy and from joining certain chat rooms when using the Instant Messenger. Other settings of the Skype competitor include Privacy and Safety, Video and Audio, History, Languages, and Hotkeys.
Chat Camfrog Client includes the ability to access Camfrog hosted and user hosted video chat rooms. Users have the ability to create their own rooms with different themes. User rooms have different rules than Camfrog hosted rooms but must still follow the basic Camfrog Terms of Service. Nevertheless, the popular tech site CNET says, "This is not a program that kids should use without supervision."[2]
