What is Camfrog?

Camfrog

Camfrog is a video chat program with communities all over the network. It is owned by Camshare LLC. A limited version of the program is available as freewares on the company website with an option to upgrade to a full version unlocking more features.

Camfrog for Windows allows users to browse both user-hosted and Camfrog-hosted video chatrooms, as well as engage in private instant messaging. Video chat rooms include language oriented rooms (including many sign language rooms), rooms for singles, rooms aimed at users from specific countries, trivia oriented rooms, and adult only video chat. Like other similar chat and instant message programs it requires registration and a unique username to log on. The website features a user directory with user profiles.

Camfrog is for Windows only, however Camfrog can work under a Wine (software) Environment for Linux, most notably OpenSuse 11.1 and Ubuntu 8.0x with other OS's possibly working to some point.

Users are distinguished by the colour of their names:

• Owners are red
