The overall interface is quite nice however - a lot better than the Windows version although that's what you expect on Macs anyway.
The same goes for seeing multiple videos at once. It would be nicer to expand the size of the video but this is only available in the pro version. It's much nicer to meet people "face-to-face" in this way rather than just chatting to them anonymously. The sound and video quality are however pretty good and it's amazing how many people are online. It's quite odd to accidentally tune into a conversation between a guy who's explaining to his girlfriend that she and Camfrog are the best things that ever happened to him! You also get the sense of a voyeur at times. If nothing else, it's quite amusing just looking at people on their webcams who look equally confused as they stare at the messages scrolling past and scratch their heads. It would be fine to have a one-on-one chat on Camfrog Video Chat but interacting with several different users at once is like trying to catch rain water.
In general, the whole thing is quite confusing. You can also hear conversations intermittently like you're tuning in and out of a radio. Click on a contact, and you can usually see their webcam (unless they are categorised as a "lurker" which means their webcam is paused for a while). Because there are several people all communicating at once, all you see is a flurry of random messages being exchanged between users. When you log into a room, the rules are made clear such as "No disturbing the room with repeated text or spamming" and "No nudity or asking others to get nude".
