Create a chat room link and share it with anyone
A chat room here is a URL. You make one, you paste it wherever the people already are, and whoever opens it is talking within seconds — no account, no download, no phone number.
What actually happens when you make one
Open the create page, type a room name, and you have a room and a link. Nothing asks you for an email address, and nothing asks the people you send it to for one either. Whoever opens your link picks a display name and starts typing.
That is the whole flow, and it is deliberately the whole flow. Most group chat tools put an account between a person and the conversation, which is fine when everyone is joining something permanent and badly wrong when you are trying to get eleven people talking about tomorrow.
Where the link works
Anywhere you can paste a URL: a WhatsApp group, a class or office thread, an Instagram story, an email, a QR code on a poster. There is nothing to install on either side, and it opens in the browser on a phone as readily as on a laptop.
The link is the invitation and the room at once, so there is no separate step where you add people one by one. If you want the room closed afterwards, stop sharing the link; if you want it findable, a room can publish itself to the public directory, and that is off unless somebody turns it on.
Keeping a room to the people you meant
A public room is open to anyone holding the link, which is exactly what you want for a group you are already messaging and exactly what you do not want for something private. A private room is invitation-only: unreadable to anybody who is not a member, and absent from every listing on the site.
Room admins can remove somebody, time them out, ban them from returning, and block words the room does not want. None of that needs a paid plan, and none of it needs anybody to hand over an identity.
If you want to keep the conversation
A guest identity is enough to talk. Adding an email later keeps your messages and your history and does not change who you are in any room — the account is upgraded in place rather than replaced, so nothing you have already said is orphaned.
If you never add one, the room still works. That is the point of the guest path, rather than it being a trial of a real one.
Questions people ask
Do the people I send the link to need an account?
No. They open the link, pick a name, and start talking. An email is optional and only useful if they want their history kept.
Does anyone need to share a phone number?
No. Nothing here asks for a phone number, from you or from anybody joining.
Can I make the room private?
Yes. A private room is invitation-only and is unreadable to non-members. Public rooms are open to anyone with the link.
Is it free?
Yes, all of it — rooms, direct messages, photos, reactions and notifications. There is nothing to upgrade to.
