How to Create Your Chat Room

Chat rooms allow users to type text messages to each other.

Chat rooms are one of the oldest forms of online real-time chat software. Users can type text messages into a publicly accessed website as a means of communication. Most chat rooms also feature a private chat facility for conversations between two people. Today chat rooms are still in use, though largely surpassed by social sites like Facebook and Twitter as a means of communication. Users can set up their own chat room to communicate in real time with friends. The process is simple and should only take a few minutes to set up.

Things You'll Need

• Internet connection
• Valid email address (optional)

1. Visit the Chatzy website and fill out the form to start your own private chat room. You can invite others to join the conversation by sending them a link to your chat room.
