What on earth is up with the random videos of people on my screen? I chose the option of NOT using webcam, yet I'm getting other chatters popping up on my screen? Is there a way of not listening to people convo?

Welcome to Christian Chat.
You have the option not to use your webcam, but you will still see others webcams, however you can choose "Mute all speaking" when going into chat, or there is a volume button above where you type in the chatroom.
God Bless You

I didnt see the option to mute all speaking.. Just the volume button.. Is that what your referring to?
I think after so long they give you the Mute all speaking, because I have that option, but you can use the volume button you won't hear the conversations. Even with the Mute all speaking option you still see the webcams of other people, just not hear them.
If I thought the shades would stop strangers from popping up in the middle of my screen I would use them. It very intrusive and disruptive.

Unfortunately you have new users giving you advice that still don't know the right answers.
There IS a way to turn off other peoples cams as well..
Next to the blue 'Chat now!' button you have 4 options. The farthest on the left is the High Speed/Low Speed option. Setting the option to 'Low Speed' turns off other peoples cams.
To the right of that 'I Will/Won't Use A Webcam' turns your own webcam on/off.
To the right again is 'Let Me Hear People/Mute All Speaking' which turns the sounds off of people who use mic/cam.
So you can select 'Low Speed' and 'Let Me Hear People' if you want to hear, but not see them.
The one catch is that turning off their cams does not stop the little speech box from popping up anytime someone uses their cam/mic. Instead it will only show their avatar and name. But if this is a problem still all you have to do is left click on the box, hold it down and drag it where you want it. Since i typically don't have sound on, and therefore don't have any use to know who is talking i will click the top left corner of the box and drag it to the far right of the screen until most of it is hidden. This way it keeps it off the chat screen so you can read easier.

Reading post number 2 in the link gives you the visual example of the options i just explained.

There is an option to mute all speaking - also if you don't like the images popping up you can click on the image and drag it to hide it along the side panel. Thats what I do.
