What live chat means on Holland Chat

Live chat is a group conversation that updates instantly. Everyone in the room sees your message the moment you send it, and replies appear in real time. Rooms run on the ChatLife IRC Network, a long-running IRC network with a modern web client, so you get live chat without installing anything.

Make the most of live chat

Greet the room, use a clear nickname and start with a question. Use @nickname to address someone directly, share links, and click a name to open a private message. For longer talks, try the voice chat option, or open full screen for a bigger view.

Live chat rooms for every interest

Besides #Holland, you can find communities for India, general chat and regional topics. See the India chat, Dutch chat and free chat rooms pages for more ways in.

Moderated and friendly

Volunteer moderators watch the live rooms and act on spam, harassment and abuse. If you see something wrong, tell a moderator or email support@hollandchat.com.
