Chat and IM overview
Camfrog is not only a videoconferencing application but it also has
instant messaging, a contact list, and the ability to show your online
status.
Send a message
To send a message to another Camfrog user, click the "Send an instant
message" icon at the bottom of the main application window. Next type in
the nickname of the person you want to message and press enter. If you
don’t know anyone to video chat with, try our user directory to find a
live list of users. Click on the "Search for Camfrog Users" in the main
application window.
Chat in a video chat room
To join a video chat room and chat, click on the "Video Chat Rooms"
icon at the bottom of the main application window and then click on one
of the rooms to connect. You can then type text and enter it to
communicate with the other users via text. To ignore a user, right click
on their name in the user list and choose "Ignore User". To unignore a
user, right click on their name again and choose "Cancel Ignore User".
Saving messages
To save a video chat room or instant message conversation, go under the "Camfrog" menu and choose "Save".
Status
All Camfrog users can change their status by clicking on their current
status at the top of the main application window and changing it to a
different one. If you choose "invisible" then you will appear as offline
in other users contact lists. You can also set your custom status in
the "What's hopping" field, and other users will see it next to your
nickname in their contact lists.
Contacts
To add a contact to your contact list, click on the "Add user to
Contact list" icon in the main application window and type in their
nickname. To remove a contact, right click on their name and choose
"Delete".
Video Chat and IM History
To see your video chat history, look under the "Camfrog"
menu in the main application window and choose "History window". It is
easy to see the different users you have called and the different video
chat rooms you have visited. To view your IM history, right click on the
user's name and choose the "History" option or find it in the Camfrog
menu of the IM window. To clear your history hit the "Clear" or "Delete
all" buttons at the bottom left of the history windows.
You can also easily import and export your IM history by
going to "Camfrog">"Settings">"Privacy">"History" and choosing
the corresponding option. Please note that you can use this option only
for the currently logged-in user account.
