Review
Enter Chatroom is a free video-chat service with no registration required. Content is primarily X-rated, with many webcam users performing for cash reward. However, there are thousands of genuine users on site too, with the potential to direct message them all!
The Enter Chatroom Brand
The Enter Chatroom brand markets itself on being a totally free chat room and a place to meet new people from around the world. It doesn’t once attempt to market itself as an X-rated or cam-sex-show service. However you wish to judge this site, the list of countries using it is enormous! From Kenya and South Africa round to USA and Brazil, all the way through to Australia and the Philippines. The brand has a strong identity too, with a good choice of colour scheme and a solid design.
Registration
It’s not at all obvious, to begin with, how to sign up to become a member. Even once you sign in as a guest it’s not obvious or clearly signposted. You can see plenty of features dotted around that are meant for members only, but still no obvious indication of where and how to sign up. Frustrating to say the least!
Finally – we found it! The menu tab with 3 lines (hidden in the corner) reveals all! To create an account is free – you just need to provide a nickname, a password, an email address, your DOB and gender. You are sent an activation code to complete your registration.
Desktop/Mobile Capability
Good news on the mobile front! Enter Chatroom supports live video cam streaming from most iOS and Android powered devices. This means you can take your live shows on the road and take your fans with you. According to the website, the most suitable mobile streaming app to use in conjunction with Enter Chatroom is Camlink. There are some instructions available on how to stream with Camlink.
User Experience
Enter Chatroom really does try to supply its members with as much entertainment and enjoyment as possible. The brand also attempts to cater to as wide an audience as possible too, with 6 different translations available for the site. In the top menu bar you can also access other member’s profiles, as well as member videos too. (These videos are all strictly X-rated so no one under the age of 18 should be using this site).
There’s even a neat little feature that lets you see whose birthday is coming up, just in case you want to send a gift to another member. Users are also given the opportunity to ‘make money’ on the site. We assume this means becoming a VIP member and a webcam model, performing for gifts and monetary rewards. We didn’t fancy this bit, so we didn’t click it!
Overall, the functionality and operation of the website is superb. There really isn’t a glitch as everything works quickly and efficiently. Navigation is good, and the design makes the experience enjoyable. It’s a shame the performance/money making side of things lets it down slightly. It sort of takes the edge off it a little bit and makes it more of a scheme than a true place to make new friends. All in all though – not a bad experience at all!
Safety and Security
The Enter Chatroom website seems to safety user safety and security very seriously. There is an immediate prompt at the top of the screen, listing the video chat room rules. Here, you are not allowed to play recorded videos, post offensive comments or spam the chat space with unnecessary or repetitive messages. You are encouraged to keep things clean and must accept the site’s terms and conditions before you begin chatting.
The site also features a lengthy page of content dedicated to chat room safety. Here you’ll find tips on ‘playing the dating game safe in online chat rooms’. This is a very detailed explanation on how you should behave and conduct yourself whilst using a video chat service. This shows great attention to detail and an excellent level of care from Enter Chatroom towards its users. Full marks!
Customer Service
On the contact page you will find a very clean and simple method of reaching the site owners. You can leave behind an email address and a telephone number, which suggests the site admins do get back in touch.
Conclusion
If Enter Chatroom didn’t have a money-making edge to it, and there were just as many keen and active members on site as there is now, then we’d consider giving the service a perfect 10. That’s how good we think the operation, design and experience of this site is! It’s almost perfect!
The variety of options, the ease of use, the attention to detail and the stringent safety messages all score top marks. There are lots of different options to choose from, including 6 different languages! The interface is clean and pioneering – with a design we simply love.
Member satisfaction is also clearly high as they keep coming back in the hundreds! However, we have doubt whether these users are returning for the quality of chat, or whether they are more interested in watching the erotic paid performers. We are pretty sure it is the latter. For this reason, the service loses authenticity and the money-making side of things brings the perfect 10 down to a solid 8!
