This kind of room is associated with your nickname, and is stored on the
Paltalk servers so you can open it and close it at will with all of your
desired settings ready. Other people can open this room in your absence
provided you have given them your 'admin code' and have them added to
your 'admin
access list'. (if you have it enabled)
Regular user rooms can contain up to 200 participants! All participants can talk, type and send and receive video, all at once!
To be able to see full streaming video a user would have to have a Paltalk subscription. No subscription is needed to send video.
When you create a chat room you must provide some basic information.
chat room name
The name of the chat room. You are not allowed to make any chat room with a title that defames, disparages or excludes any race, creed, religion, age group, gender, national origin, or any other organization, business entity or individual person.
You also may not make any chat room that condones or promotes the use of drugs, encourages software piracy, child pornography, or any other illegal activity.
category
Paltalk chat rooms are organized into categories. You will have to select from a drop down list which category you prefer your chat room to be found in by others.
rating Similar to a movie rating. The options are G, R or A.
G rated rooms must be suitable to all audiences including minors. Text in G rooms is automatically filtered to eliminate possible offensive language.
R and A rated rooms are suitable for adults only and the text is not filtered what so ever. The difference between these ratings is that an A rated room allows sexually explicit language and activity where an R room does not.
note: users have to explicitly turn on an option to see adult groups (R and A) - see 'adult content filter' and 'parental controls'
voice enabled switch
On indicates that you want to allow voice in the room, off indicates that it will be a text only room.
admin code
A 4 digit numeric code that is the key to joining your chat room with
admin privileges. Select an
admin code that is easy to remember but that does not contain a pattern (for example 3333 or 1234 would be bad choices).
Share this code with those users you wish to help you 'admin' your chat room.
lockword
An optional field. If you specify a value in this field, anyone not knowing your lockword will be prevented from entering your chat room.
Anyone trying to join your chat room will be asked to specify the lockword before they are allowed to enter.
Locked chat rooms are limited to a maximum of 5 users.
intro msg
An optional field. If specified, every time someone joins your chat room, they will be automatically greeted with this message.
note: premium chat rooms have extra features
