The chat rooms of today are not the ones you remember. The old technology was using Flash. Finally, the technology was transformed in the past years to be an HTML chat room.

Widely accessible online chat rooms have been around for over two decades. But what they were then is a whole lot different from what they are today.

The old flash-based technology used to build a chat room was dominating for a long time. It used to be the main option to develop chats. Luckily, It is no longer supported by web browsers. Plus, the fact that it was not friendly was a major reason to ditch this technology.

The leading chat rooms of today need to be web and mobile-friendly.  This is the HTML chat room era, or to be more precise it is an HTML5 chatroom (the new HTML generation).

What does that mean?
It means Offering greater accessibility, mobile friendly, cleaner coding, and better interactions, there are many reasons why website owners and managers choose to opt for an HTML chat room over other technologies.

In this post, we’ll look at the top five reasons an HTML chat room can give your business a leg up:

1. A Customizable Experience

One example of an HTML chat room, RumbleTalk, also allows for a custom look. In other words, one chat room does not need to look the same as another. RumbleTalk’s unique technology allows you to customize a variety of features to suit your brand, including:

• Full control over how your chat looks
• Choose from several HTML chat room templates
• Change your font style
• Change the notification sounds
• Design what you want your mobile see
• Now, advanced users/developers have full CSS control

You can also control the size of the chat room window, including whether you want it to be a floating window or part of a page, and on a page, you can set it for a full page or only a small area chat room.

2. No Installation Necessary in an HTML Chat Room

Unlike other programs in existence today, you do not need to download or install an HTML chat room on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. This means that modern browsers support HTML and HTML5 (including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Edge, New IE9, and up), and the HTML5 doctype even allows it to be used on old, laggy browsers.

The HTML chat rooms utilized by RumbleTalk allow you to have one or many HTML chat rooms in any HTML page. You can hold and host chats on your website, over social media, and alongside webcasts and online presentations. More than that, it is available on both web and mobile.

3. Effortlessly Share Multimedia

Another key benefit when a webmaster chooses an HTML chat room is that all users (and you) are given the ability to share any type of multimedia. From documents and images to YouTube and Vimeo clips, all multimedia can be copied and pasted into chat, allowing chatters to share relevant resources in a real-time environment.

4. Easy Video Chatting

Not too long ago it was only possible to have video chats and audio discussions by using another program, many times one needed to install a plug-in on both users’ computers. But in an HTML chat room using the WebRTC technology, you can easily hold one-on-one audio and video chats with another person in the chat. This improves communication amongst users and it saves all chat room participants time.

5. A Secure Connection

One concern that users often have is how secure the chat room they are using really is. RumbleTalk’s SSL encryption ensures that everything that is said in your chat room is only accessible to those who are present in the chat.

This HTML chat room service gives a host full control over the flow of the chat, including who is present. You can assign a moderator to oversee the conversation and to ensure that all participants follow the chat room rules. If a rogue participant attempts to disrupt your chat, you can ban and block that user by their IP address.

The technology also features anti-spam technology, which prevents spammers from misusing the RumbleTalk chat room. Anti-spam allows you to blacklist predefined words so that you can prevent abuse and harassment in your chat room.

With all these features and more, it’s no wonder businesses today are choosing HTML chat. For more details on how RumbleTalk can help your business, visit the demo page to see how it works.

With safety, security, and privacy becoming ever more important in this interconnected world we live in, RumbleTalk has added a new feature to coincide with the new GDPR regulations set forth by the EU. We are very happy to announce this positive development for users, administrators, and participants alike. RumbleTalk’s chats now offer the possibility for users to have complete control over their data.

With just a few clicks users can view and amend their information, or remove it completely. This makes personal data protection easy, quick, and straightforward for every user of RumbleTalk chats, no matter who hosts them.

How It Works

Now, all users can change, delete, or simply view what information has been saved about them on our servers instantly. This includes several points of interest. For example, it includes information such as:

• Email addresses
• Which chats users are logged into
• When users last logged in to the system as a whole

RumbleTalk is committed to transparency when it comes to its users’ personal data. Users can access their information no matter when and no matter where in the world they are. All they need to be able to do so is access to their email account.

In order to get to their information, users simply have to follow a few easy steps.

First, visit profile.rumbletalk.com.

Once there, enter your email address. This has to be the same email address used to sign up for the chat, so the system can identify the correct account. This email address will not be shared with anyone; it’s simply used to identify the correct account and information. If a user enters an email address that does not match any account information held by RumbleTalk, no email will be sent. Moreover, it will prompt the user to enter the correct email address.

Next, confirm the email address entered by clicking on the verification link sent to the email submitted.

Once done, you’ll see a list of chat rooms you are registered to.

After clicking on one, you’ll see all of your stored information.

What You Can Do (and Keeping on Top of GDPR)

As per GDPR, here, users have the option to see what info RumbleTalk has saved, and you can change most of it. You can change descriptions, profile images, and first and last names. The only things you cannot change are usernames and create dates. The interface is simple and easy to use, and allows users to see all of their information at a quick glance.

The request deletion option allows users to completely remove any of their info from all RumbleTalk servers. The logins option shows users a list of when they logged in where. The last login shows the last time they logged into their profile.

Keep complete control over your personal data, no matter where in the world you are, with the request deletion option. Chat owners and administrators can share the link https://profile.rumbletalk.com any time in the chat. This then reminds users and makes them aware that they are always in control of their info.

By sharing a verification link that prompts users to confirm their email address, this ensures that no one can gain any insight into a given user’s personal information. Without clicking on the confirmation link, it is impossible to view the information RumbleTalk holds, making this tool as secure as it can be.

While unscrupulous people may try to get users to share their email addresses, that alone is not enough to view their personal info. With email verification, you have complete reassurance that your data is always safe with RumbleTalk.
