The main 'pal list window'

The main Paltalk Messenger window is commonly referred to as the 'pal list window'. This is because you can find your list of 'online' and 'offline' pals in this window by selecting the 'pals tab'.

Besides keeping track of your pals, this window provides easy access to the vast array of features available on Paltalk. This is the first window you see after you log in to Paltalk.

Use the icons, menus and tabs to navigate around on this window.

By adding tabs, the pal list window becomes more useful because multiple features are contained in a much smaller area on your desktop.

Click on the tabs to select the welcome screen, a complete list of chat rooms, and a list of your pals.

Toolbar 'buttons' or 'icons' let you quickly access chat room setup features, search for new pals, invite friends to join you on Paltalk, and subscribe to our premium services.

The 'file' menu lets you select even more features like 'pal people', 'myPaltalk' account management, the Paltalk 'sidekick', and more!

All of the preference settings for Paltalk are available under the 'setup' menu.
