Paltalk is a video group chat service that enables users to communicate via video, internet chat and voice. It offers chat rooms and the ability for users to create their own public virtual chat room. Paltalk is available in three formats: Paltalk Messenger, the regular version most users use, Paltalk Mobile, (iPhone, Android) the phone version, and Paltalk Express which is a Flash version of the software targeted at non-Windows users. It is proprietary software. While basic services are free of charge and basic software is free to download, fee-based memberships and paid upgrades to more capable paid versions are offered by AVM Software, the creators of Paltalk.
Paltalk appears to be profitable and had 5.5 million unique users in 2013.
Paltalk's main application is "Paltalk Messenger" for PCs. They also offered PaltalkExpress, a free web-based Adobe Flash and Java application which could be accessed via an Internet browser. As of December 22, 2016 this feature has been discontinued due to an upcoming lack of support from Google Chrome, Paltalk Express's primary intended browser.
It has also been featured as one of the most popular communication apps in the Google Chrome Web Store. Paltalk Express delivers no PC-to-phone calls and no interoperability with IM services.
Paltalk has a widget called Paltalk Video Chat Widget that was released on May 12, 2009. It allows website visitors to view Paltalk rooms, both text and video. Users can now text-chat directly from the widget.
Paltalk has native apps available for multiple mobile platforms which allow users to publish webcam, audio chat, and text chat many-many or in private sessions.

All of these apps are available from the relative app store Paltalk and on Paltalk's app webpage where Paltalk also state a kindle app is in the works.
Paltalk allows users to create chat rooms where they can text, voice, and video chat. These chat rooms can host hundreds and in some cases many thousands of chatters in one conversion.
