Everything your group needs to talk.
Open a room in seconds, then find every tool for running it as it grows. Simple to start, serious when you need it.
Everything your group needs to talk, from a single click to a room that is yours to run.
Chat that just works.
A clean web chat that runs in your browser, on phones and computers alike. Nothing to install and nothing to learn first.
The Web Chat
Pick a nickname and start typing. The chat fits phones, tablets and desktops, so your people can join from whatever they have in their hands.
Ten rooms, one window
Keep up to ten rooms open as tabs. Colored dots show where there is news and where someone mentioned you, so nothing slips past.
Private chats and Highlights
Talk to one person without the room seeing a word. Every mention and private message is collected in Highlights, ready when you are.
Colors and emoji
Colored text, ANSI art and :smile: style emoji give a room its own voice, without getting in the way of the conversation.
Safe links
Every link asks before it opens, so a careless click in a busy room never takes anyone somewhere they did not choose to go.
Twelve themes
A clean white look by default, plus twelve color themes and accents, so the chat can match your team or your community.
Try every feature in a free room.
Open a room, invite someone and see it all working in minutes. No account, no download.
Rooms made in a moment.
Pick a name and you have a room. Share one address and everybody is in. When you want it to last, register it.
Instant rooms
Join a name that is free and the room is yours to run. There are no forms, no waiting and no setup before the first message.
One link for everyone
Every room has its own web address. Paste it into an email, a website or a flyer and people arrive in the conversation.
Room finder
Rooms that are open to everyone appear in the room finder, so newcomers can browse and search for a place to join.
Registered rooms
Claim a room and its topic, settings and trusted helpers are still there tomorrow, even when everyone has gone home.
Hidden rooms
Keep a room out of the lists when it is only for the people who already know it is there.
Keys, limits and invites
Decide exactly who can walk in with a key, an invite, a limit on the number of people, or registered nicknames only.
Run it your way.
Give each person exactly the power they need, and keep the room friendly without watching it every minute.
Operators and voice
Operators run the room and voice decides who may speak, which suits a quiet meeting as well as a busy event.
Six access levels
Member, voice, operator, senior operator, manager and founder. Each level adds to the one before it.
Kick, ban and autokick
Keep troublemakers out, even after the room empties and refills.
Locked topics and modes
Our services put the topic and the settings back the way you set them, whoever tries to change them.
Language filter
Rude messages are stopped before the room sees them, so your helpers spend their time on people, not clean up.
Staff can help
Network operators can step into any room to help, and they cannot be kicked or banned while they do.
Your name. Your look.
Register your nickname and the chat starts to feel like yours, on every device you use.
Registered nickname
Nobody else can use your nickname once it is protected, so people always know who they are talking to.
Buddy list
See which friends are online. The list belongs to your nickname and follows you from device to device.
Memos
Leave a message for anyone who is offline. They see it the moment they return.
Access masks
Be recognized automatically from the places you trust, and keep everyone else out.
Away messages
Let people know when you will be back, so a quiet room is never a mystery.
Any IRC client
ConferenceRooms.org runs on IRC, so your favorite chat program can connect too, with the same nickname and rooms.
Six levels of trust.
Registered rooms remember who is who. Each level adds to the one before it.
| # | Level | What it allows |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | UOP Member | Enter a restricted room, see the lists and receive room memos. |
| 2 | VOP Voice | Voice on arrival, and can always speak. |
| 3 | AOP Operator | Operator on arrival. Gives op and voice, unbans and invites. |
| 4 | SOP Sr operator | Everything above, plus edits the operator and voice lists and autokicks. |
| 5 | MGR Manager | Everything above, plus changes the room settings. |
| 6 | Founder Founder | Everything, including handing over the room. |
Decide who sees it, who enters, who speaks.
Each setting is one command for an operator, and can be changed at any time.
| Setting | Mode | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Hidden | +s | Kept out of the room lists. |
| Invite only | +i | Only invited people can join. |
| Key | +k | A password to enter. |
| Limit | +l | A maximum number of people. |
| Reg only | +R | Only registered nicknames. |
| Moderated | +m | Only operators and voiced people write. |
Go deeper.
Everything on this page has a longer story. Start with the part you need most.
Say it to one person.
Not everything belongs in the room. Start a private chat, one to one, and the room never sees a word. Every private message and mention is waiting for you in Highlights.
Built on open standards.
ConferenceRooms.org is real-time group chat built on IRC, the standard behind decades of online communities. Because we follow the standard, the Web Chat and your own chat program share the same rooms, the same nicknames and the same rules.
That is why a room made in a moment can grow into a team room, a community hub or an event for thousands, without moving anyone to a new tool. Start free, keep what you build and add controls as your group needs them.
