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.
Join voice to listen without opening your microphone. Raise your hand, wait for your turn, then choose Unmute mic. 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.
NO DOWNLOAD. NO LONG SIGNUP.

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 to disconnect their voice/video and prevent direct contact. Report a message or participant for operator review. Reports are reviewed asynchronously; the rooms are not continuously staffed.

No. Joining the text room opens neither. Join voice starts listening only. Raise your hand and wait for your turn before unmuting. Unmute mic and Turn camera on are separate actions that request the relevant browser permission.
Room messages and shared media are visible or audible to connected participants. The service does not record audio or video, but other people may. 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.
