Three steps to your first chat

1. Hit “Go live”: there's nothing to fill in and no account to make. If you want, add some interests and set who you'd rather meet first.

2. Meet someone: in a few seconds you're on video with a random person, and they see you too. Sit facing the camera in decent light; people stay to talk when they can see you. Shared interests count too: our matching is the most advanced and the fairest around.

3. Stay or skip: talk face to face, with a text box beside the video for a quick line or a link. Not feeling it? Press Next and a new person shows up right away.

Do I have to sign up to video chat?

No. Open the site, hit “Go live” and allow your camera. That's all it takes. No email, no phone number, no password, and nothing to install: it runs in your browser on a phone or a computer.

Does RandomVideoChat cost anything, or is there a paid tier?

Nothing at all. RandomVideoChat has no premium plan and nothing behind a paywall: video, the text box beside it, interests and the gender preference work the same for everyone. No card, no upgrade, nothing to unlock later.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes, and there's nothing to download. Open RandomVideoChat in the browser on your phone or tablet, allow the camera, and you get the same buttons and options as on a computer. Chat from the couch, on the bus, or anywhere else.

What if someone is rude or crosses a line?

Hit Next and that chat ends on the spot. If it was serious, report them with the flag: every report is counted, and people who break the rules are removed fast. Then keep going with someone new.
