Chat room
The terms chat room, or chatroom (and sometimes group chat; abbreviated as GC), are primarily used to describe any form of synchronous conferencing, occasionally even asynchronous conferencing. The term can thus span technology ranging from real-time online chat and online interaction with strangers (e.g., online forums) to fully immersive graphical social environments. The primary use of a chat room is to share information via text with a group of other users.
