Berlin Chat Room — Free Online Chat

Yudum. Running since 1998, this is one of the older chat communities still going‐speaking chatters from around the world since 1998. The international lobby is the hub where you’ll meet people from many countries, especially during the European evening when activity peaks. Because the service runs straight in your browser, you can jump in from a phone, tablet or desktop without downloading anything.

Only members can join the chat, and signing up is free and takes a few seconds — you can also use your Google account. Once you’re in a room where music, games and movies are discussed, you can listen to Radyo Yudum, send private messages, and start a voice or video call with someone you click with.

Registering is free and optional, but it changes the experience from fleeting to persistent. When you create an account, the nickname you choose is locked to you, so you won’t be forced to pick a new handle each time you return. Your profile and friends list are saved on the server, letting you keep track of people you enjoy chatting with and jump straight into private conversations whenever you log in again. You also gain the ability to open your own group rooms, which stay available for you and your friends even after you log out.

Because your account remembers you, you close the tab and come back to find your nickname waiting, your friends still listed, and any rooms you created ready for the next round of chat. This continuity is especially handy if you’re in Berlin, where the local time is one hour behind the rest of central Europe, and you want to sync up with friends across the continent.
