What are the most active and fun video chatrooms for adults right now?

Every time video chat comes up somewhere else, the thread turns into an advert. Hoping this one doesn't.

What makes video chat hard to judge is that everyone's experience seems to depend heavily on where they live.

I gave video chat about two weeks of honest effort before deciding to ask.

Narrowing it down, here is what matters to me about video chat:

• Whether chatrooms makes any material difference to video chat
• Whether the video chat experience holds up after the first fortnight
• What the chatrooms side of video chat looks like in practice
• Whether messaging on video chat works without handing over card details

Even a 'don't bother' on video chat is a useful answer.

For anyone else researching video chat, I would put the Datebie boards on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

I keep Datescout itself open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with video chat.

The honest answer on video chat is that it varies, which is unsatisfying but true.

Adding the Flamedate free tier to the pile for video chat, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

For video chat, log in at a consistent time each evening, because activity windows matter more than people think.
