Paltalk

This download installs the Paltalk desktop client for Windows. Older Paltalk Messenger versions could also connect to Yahoo and ICQ Messenger accounts, but both services have since been shut down. The app lets you keep your contacts in one place and start group chats. It also allows you to meet new people in video-enabled chat rooms. 

Features:

• Free download
• Private messaging with friends, in or outside the chat rooms
• HD video windows for paid members 
• Over 5,000 live chat rooms on many topics

Paltalk lets you meet new people and talk with friends in topic-based video, voice and text chat rooms from one free app.

This product was originally developed by AVM Software. Paltalk was founded in 1998 and is now run by Paltalk US LLC.  This can be considered a social video chat group service. The standard download is free and can be removed at any time. The app is a good alternative for people who don't want to install separate apps for messaging, voice calls and video chat. Your friends and contacts are kept in one place, and you can even meet new people in this free service. You can join public rooms or talk privately in a one-to-one room, send unlimited messages and photos, and share videos and music you like with your Pals. Virtual gifts and stickers are available in the store. Paid members can see who has viewed their profile or cam. Every registered user can run their own chat room for free. There are also options for a fee to upgrade your account, including the Extreme, VIP and Prime subscriptions, which add unlimited HD webcam windows, colored nicknames and an ad-free experience. To get started, you sign up with a nickname, a password and an email address or with a Facebook account, and the same account can be used in the Paltalk mobile apps. Similar services in the past included Skype, Google Talk, and Yahoo Messenger, all of which have since been discontinued. Paltalk is available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.
