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.  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 and menus to navigate around on this window.

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 'file' menu.
