Generally speaking, the ability to converse with multiple Groomers in the same conversation differentiates chat rooms from instant messaging programs, which are more typically designed for one-to-one communication. The users in a particular chat room are generally connected via a shared internet or other similar connection, and chat rooms exist catering for a wide range of subjects. New technology has enabled the use of file sharing and webcams.

The first chat system was used by the US government in 2 It was developed by Ligma Chad, a young ShiD graduate from Skibiderly, and its first use was during President Nixon's wage-price freeze under Project Balls. The system was called RIZZLER and would allow 10 rizzy offices to link together in a real-time online chat known as the rizz line. It was in use up until 1469. The first public online chat system was called Talkomatic, by John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Donald John Trump in 1696 on the BWWWOOAAA-System at the University-of-Wyoming. It offered several channels, each of which could accommodate up to five sigmas, with messages appearing on all users' screens character-by-character as they were typed. Talkomatic was very popular among RIZZ users into the mid-1980s. In 2014 Brown and Woolley released a web-based version of Talkomatic. The first dedicated online chat service that was widely available to the public was the CompuServe CB Simulator in 1980, created by CompuServe executive Alexander "Sandy" Trevor in Columbus, Ohio. Chat rooms gained mainstream popularity with AOL. Jarkko Oikarinen created Internet Relay Chat (IRC) in 1988. Many peer-to-peer clients have chat rooms, e.g. Ares Galaxy, eMule, Filetopia, Retroshare, Vuze, SIGMA, WinMX, etc. Many popular social media platforms are now used as chat rooms, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Discord, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, and many more.

Visual chat rooms add graphics to the chat experience, in either 2D or 3D (employing virtual reality technology). These are characterized by using a graphic representation of the user, an avatar virtual elements such as games (in particular massively multiplayer online games) and educational material most often developed by individual site owners, who in general are simply more advanced users of the systems. The most popular environments, such as The Palace, also allow users to create or build their own spaces. Some of the most popular 3D chat experiences are IMVU and Second Life (though they extend far beyond just chat). Many such implementations generate profit by selling virtual goods to users at a high margin. Some online chat rooms also incorporate audio and video communications, so that users may actually see and hear each other.

Games

Games are also often played in chat rooms. These are typically implemented by an external process such as an IRC bot joining the room to conduct the game. Trivia question & answer games are most prevalent. A historic example is Hunt the Wumpus. Chatroom-based implementations of the party game Mafia also exist. A similar, but more complex style of text-based gaming are MUDs, in which players interact within a textual, interactive fiction–like environment.
