We are excited to announce that after months of rigorous Beta testing and tweaking Paltalk version 9.9 is ready for the big time! Version 9.9 is now available as the main download on Paltalk.com Click Here to download it now!
So, What's new in 9.9 we hear you ask...
When creating version 9.9 we concentrated on 2 main areas - Video, and Accessibility:
Video: Paltalk always strives to offer the best video quality on the internet. With 9.9, we've optimized our video streams and made them faster, clearer and better! Plus, we added new layouts for the SuperIM windows to make them more video focused.Accessibility: Here at Paltalk we believe our members should be able to video chat (SuperIM) with anyone, anywhere, instantly! With the new SuperIM URL feature, video chatting with your friends who are not Paltalk members is easy. Simply pass your SuperIM URL to your friends and 2 clicks later (no downloads by the way) they are video chatting with you!
Here's an overview of the major new features in 9.9
- SuperIM URLs: Personalized links that allow video chat anywhere on the Web with any friend, regardless of whether they are a Paltalk member. SuperIM URLs are extensions ofhttp://www.superim.me/nickname. For the first 2 weeks after release, paid subscribers will be able to choose to customize their SuperIM URL with something other than their nickname. Custom vanity SuperIM URLs look like this: http://customname.superim.me. After the first 2 weeks, all users will be able to customize their SuperIM URLs.
- Facebook Chat Integration: Ability to IM with Facebook friends directly from Paltalk
- Paltalk Mobile Support: IM-based mobile support for the BlackBerry and upcoming IPhone/Andriod versions.
- Video-Centric Look and Feel for SuperIM: We have added four new layout options for video in SuperIM that allow for a better video exprence
- Friends Feed in SideKick: New SideKick Tab shows status updates of Paltalk profile friends' activity.
- ShoutCast Radio: We have added a new catg in the rooms browser called "ShoutCast", there are many rooms in this new catg streaming ShoutCast radio stations!
- High Resolution Video & High Fidelity Audio: Up to 20 frames/sec in SuperIM with improved resolution and a richer, more enhanced audio experience
