A new exciting way to meet and play with others are Webcam
sites.
We highly recommend the following Two sites.
They both have BDSM related topic rooms.
|
iFriends |
This is very extensive site. Whatever
you're looking for in the way of webcams and chat, absolutely anything,
you'll find it here. There are categories covering pretty much anything.
From chat with friends, to adult voyeur cams... if you can imagine it,
chances are you'll find it here. Take a look. |
|
ANYwebcam |
A good webcam community site. You have
to sign up (30 day free trial) to view the cams and free webcam
broadcast software, allows you to display in either general, adult, or
private areas. There are several public chat rooms, and also audio chat.
Parents should be aware that many of the cams here are found in the
adult area. No credit card required |
|
DateCam |
A new site, which unlike many cam
communities also functions as a dating site. It's features user
profiles, multiple category chat rooms, a good search function, and best
of all, only requires the Flash MX plug-in for you to view streaming
cams and display your own... no complex software installation required.
No credit card required. |
|
Camarades aka
World of Webcams |
This is one of the longest running
webcam community sites, and as such has gone through many changes over
the years, some for the better, some for the worse. The free software
while now easier to set up than it once was does seem somewhat less
efficient too... though that is just a personal opinion. What this site
excels at is providing a family friendly webcam environment. There are
lots of streaming cams, some featuring people with their own chat rooms,
some are views inside people's houses showing the day to day goings on,
and others are outside views. While there is an adult area on the site,
it is well hidden isn't something likely to be stumbled across by
someone who isn't specifically looking for it. |
|
MyOwnCam |
This site is quite similar to Camarades.
An entirely family friendly webcam community with free software for you
to download. You can customize your own webcam page and set text
overlays on your cam image. The software has one very cool feature that
allows you to see if other community members are watching your cam, so
if they have their cam running you can go and watch them too. This site
has versions in English German and Dutch, which is a nice touch. |
|
JMeeting |
Very cool. Anyone who's familiar with
AnyWebcam will feel at home on this site, as it's very similar. There's
heavy use of java and you'll need the latest java plug-in from
Java.com to make it
work. Once that's sorted, you can enjoy multiple webcams, multiple chat
rooms, self configuring webcam broadcast software, webcam ratings, so
you can view adult cams or turn the family filter on. While the use of
java my be an initial complication, it has the great benefit of allowing
Apple Mac users to enjoy the site too, and makes this one of the very
few webcam communities that supports both viewing and broadcasting on
the Apple Mac as well as Windows PC. To top it all off, this site is
completely free and relies on voluntary donations to finance itself. no
credit card required |
|
Earthcam TV |
A very large webcam community that
appears to have been around for some time. It's free to join, with
webcam software, so you can just watch the cams or broadcast your own.
While you can watch many of the cams without being a member, you need
membership to join the chat rooms. There are a lot of cams here, many
with adult content, but sadly there's also a lot of rubbish, with a lot
of recorded clips or still images in place of real cams... so sometimes
it can be a bit hit or miss finding something worth watching.
Nevertheless, this site is entirely worth checking out as image quality
and cam speed can be very good. |
|
CamChat.Org |
A fairly simple cam chat community
site. There's a large list of links to the cams of people who chat here,
though as this is not dynamically updated, not all of those listed are
active at any one time. There is a single community chat room which
though not crowded is certainly a friendly place. While this site is not
of the corporate of commercial variety, it represents a very good
example of what can be achieved by independent web users. |
|
Livve.com |
A fairly complex chat, webcam and
gaming community. This site requires you to install a software plug-in
before you can use it, though installation is easy enough. Once this is
done you will find you have access to many moderated and adult chat
areas and can create your own rooms. The audio chat feature is very
impressive. The functionality of this site is somewhat confusing at
first, and it would appear that only paid members can access the cams,
but there are many friendly people who are very helpful when it comes to
explaining how things work. |
|
onmycam |
After some initial teething problems,
this site is now taking off nicely, and the chat rooms are starting to
fill up with a friendly group of people. A nice interface, and good
atmosphere. Well worth a look. No credit card required. |
|
CUWorld
|
Very, very, clever stuff. You have to
sign up with this free site just to view the cams, and then download
some dedicated software (takes 5-10 mins on a dialup connection).
Installation of this software is automatic, so don't worry about it.
What then happens is, you go into one of the various areas, and can view
up to 8 streaming cams simultaneously, while chatting in text or audio
with the other members of the room. If you have a cam connected, the
software detects it, and streams your video to the room, so others can
see you. Benway liked this site.. though did find it a little bugged in
places. No credit card required |
|
myvideochat.net |
A small, free and fairly simple webcam
community.
Making use of the free WebcamXP cam and chat software, this site does
not allow any adult material and as such, should be suitable for the
whole family. |
|
Camfrog |
Rather an unusual cam community, this
site is based around a free and easy to configure video messenger
program and uses the website to bring the community of users together.
The site could initially be confusing, but once you get used to how it
works, it's quite cool.
No credit card required. |
|
SWeb.com |
Featuring a lot of adult content, using
the Camera ware system the site itself isn't amazingly pretty, but it's
worth a look. No credit card required |
|
CameraWare |
Join a webcam community, or if you're a
webmaster, even create your own. Providing free software and hosting
services, the site isn't especially pretty, but that's missing the
point. A look at some of the community sites using it's services shows
it to be quite effective. Both general and adult content are available.
No credit card required. |
|
WebcamNow |
One of the most straightforward webcam
communities featuring moderated and unmoderated areas, multiple text
chat rooms and an audio chat room. The site is free to use with a paid
option for faster streaming webcams. No credit card required.
|
|
iVideoChat
|
A very easy webcam chat site to use, as
there are no software downloads required. Everything is done using
flash. However, while you are able to broadcast your own cam, and chat
for free, it appears that you are required to pay for access to view
other chatters' webcams. |
|
want2cam.com |
Another free cam chat community that
uses flash to connect your cam and audio. This looks like it could be
really cool, but when Benway visited, appeared to be no-one else there.
Possibly a small community. The info on the site certainly suggests it
should be friendly |
|
GlobalnetVillage |
An interesting looking webcam chat
community. This free cam site doesn't appear to have it's own webcam
software, but integrates with Yahoo Messenger, KoolKam, Webcam32, Webcam
2000, Windows Media, or WebcamXP_Flash. Implementation of this appears
to be very easy. There are options to include plenty if information in
personal profiles, and chat and messaging are very easy to access. A
quick glance didn't show a great number of users, but this site is still
well worth a look. |

EarthCam
|
Not so much a webcam community, as a
very extensive portal. Impressive.
No credit card required. |
