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]
File Sharing Users may send files to each other via Camfrog with a max file size of 100 MB.
Snapshots Snapshots are images that can be sent from one user to another from their webcam
Profiles Camfrog features profile pages for users age 16 and over. Users 13-15 cannot create profile photos.
Camfrog Mobile Camfrog is also available for Windows Mobile and the Apple iPhone. The Camfrog Windows Mobile application allows Camfrog users to IM and have one-on-one audio calls. The Camfrog iPhone application allows Camfrog users to IM, have one-on-one audio calls, and chat in chat rooms via text and on microphone.
Terms of Service Camfrog has a set of rules that are enforced by Camfrog staff and user volunteers. Users are monitored in chat rooms by operators. Operators are often users who show interest in volunteering to monitor and enforce room rules. Operators must be 18 years of age.
