Safety & community rules

The rules

• You must be 18 or older. No exceptions, and no one under 18 may appear on your camera.
• Keep your clothes on. No nudity, sexual acts or sexual content of any kind.
• Be a real person, on a real camera. Your face on a live camera. No pre-recorded videos, still pictures, screens or blank feeds.
• No harassment or hate. No threats, bullying, slurs or attacks on anyone for who they are.
• No spam or selling. No ads, links, promotions, requests for money or invitations to other sites and apps.
• No recording or sharing other people. Don’t capture or post anyone from a chat without their consent.
• Nothing illegal. Including drugs, weapons, scams and anything that endangers someone.
• No bots, scripts or ban evasion. One person, one browser, playing by the same rules as everyone else.

How moderation works

RandomVideoChat is actively moderated around the clock. People who break the rules lose access, for a while or for good, depending on what they did. Serious violations, especially anything involving minors, mean a permanent ban.

We don’t share the details of how we detect problems: that would only help the people we’re keeping out. What matters for you is simple: follow the rules and you’ll never run into us.

Reporting someone

Every chat has a flag on the video. Use it the moment someone breaks the rules, then skip to the next person. You don’t need to explain anything; reports are reviewed and acted on.

Protect yourself

• Keep your full name, address, school, workplace and phone number to yourself.
• Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you met here, whatever the story.
• Don’t click links strangers send you, and never type a password anywhere they point you.
• If someone threatens to share pictures or video of you, stop responding, don’t pay, and report them. You are not alone, and it is not your fault.
• Feeling uncomfortable is reason enough to leave. Hit Next.

If you’re under 18

RandomVideoChat is not for you, and you must leave now. If someone online is pressuring you or asking for pictures, talk to an adult you trust; in the US you can also report it to the NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org. In an emergency, call 911.

Bans and appeals

If you believe you were restricted by mistake, email hello@randomvideochat.cc with the approximate date and time it happened. We review every appeal sent this way.
