Softpedia Editor's Review for Camfrog Video Chat
|
An easy-to-use application that allows you to video chat with friends
Written by Bogdan Popa on December 20th, 2011
Social networks gather new users every single day. Whether they are accesed through a website or a stand-alone application, these networks are the meeting place of people all over the world. This way, they facilitate the get together of people that share similar interests and beliefs.
Just like its name suggests, Camfrog Video Chat is specifically designed to allow users to interact with other people, thus its strong points focus on advanced chatting and video functions as well as streamlined high quality audio and video broadcast.
This chat tool is flagged as Ad-supported on Softpedia as a result of its bundled third-party software. You are also required to register at the end of it in case you don't posses a registered user.
The main window, which is actually the contact list, looks just like the one we’ve seen in instant messaging tools such as the ones developed by Yahoo or Microsoft. If you wish, you can connect to video chat rooms where you can meet new people and discuss in a very organized environment.
There are operators that supervise the whole thing to be sure nobody breaks the rules and people can chat safely. And speaking of safety, Camfrog comes with several privacy protection tools plus a parent control option that allows parents to block certain functions to prevent children from accessing them.
The application works pretty easy and its simple and intuitive interface makes the whole thing a lot easier. You don’t need a super computer to run it, but keep in mind that you’ll most likely need a webcam as many chat rooms require users such a piece of hardware in order to be allowed to join the chat.
Camfrog Video Chat provides users with some nifty features such as the ability to start their own video chat rooms or take part in multi-user videoconferences. The webcam chat software doesn't really stand out of the crowd, but it surely brings the right tools in its bag. If you ever find yourself in need of meeting new people, Camfrog Video Chat will provide the environment for that.
