MORE THAN A MESSAGE BOX
UrduPal keeps the familiar chatroom board: rooms on the left, the conversation in the middle and people on the right. On your phone, switch between those panels with a tap.
Send a message to the room, add an emoji, or start a direct conversation when both people have enabled DMs.
Enter a room to listen with your microphone off. If your browser pauses playback, select Enable audio. Raise your hand and allow microphone access; your mic starts on your turn. Up to eight people can join voice in a room.
Turn your camera on separately after joining voice. See your own preview and other participants’ cameras. Turn it off at any time, or leave voice to stop both captures.

SPACE FOR EVERYONE
Leave space for other people to speak. Respect a person’s choice to keep their camera off or decline a direct message. Keep private information out of public rooms.
Block someone in a room to disconnect their voice/video and prevent direct contact there. Report a message or participant for operator review. Reports are reviewed asynchronously; the rooms are not continuously staffed.
Read the community rules →Yes. Text, voice and camera access are free. Create an account and verify your email before entering. No app download is needed.

Use Roman Urdu or English for text, or speak in the language you are comfortable with. Room staff can pause text or voice access, so availability may differ between rooms.
Your microphone and camera start off. The room connects you as a listener when space is available; some browsers need you to select Enable audio. To speak, select Raise hand and allow microphone access. Your mic starts automatically on your turn. Camera access stays separate and requires your permission.
Room messages are saved and visible to people who join later. Shared live media is visible or audible to connected participants. UrduPal does not record live microphone or camera streams, but other participants may. Messages and deliberately uploaded files are saved and can be reviewed by the site owner. Direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted. Direct media connections may reveal your network address.
Check browser permissions and try leaving and rejoining voice. Some restricted networks cannot establish a direct media connection. You can still use text chat, or try another network. Voice and video require a browser with WebRTC support. See the voice setup guide.
