The questions that come up before a first chat. If yours isn't here, the walkthrough and safety center go deeper.
Press Start video chat on any page, allow your camera when the browser asks, and you're matched within seconds. No account, no download. The step-by-step version is on the how-it-works page.
No. There is no sign-up on 1v1video — sessions live in your browser and disappear when you close it.
Talking is free without time limits, always. Optional conveniences (like country filters) may use coins, but the conversation itself never costs anything.
Usually another app (Zoom, Teams) is holding it — quit that app and reload the tab. On external webcams, replug the USB. The 1v1 cam page has a full troubleshooting list.
You likely blocked it once. Click the padlock/camera icon in the address bar, set Camera and Microphone to Allow, then reload.
WebRTC is peer-to-peer, so your own connection is nearly always the bottleneck. Move closer to your router, close streaming tabs, and switch off VPN if you use one.
Tap ⚑ Report. The chat closes for you instantly and a human moderator reviews the case against our community rules. Rule-breakers are removed fast. Full flow: the safety center.
No — video streams directly between the two browsers with no recording server in the path. When a chat ends, it's gone.
Adults 18 and over, full stop. Moderation enforces this.
