How to start a video chat
Open the chat room, log in with a nickname and tap the camera icon. Your browser will ask for permission to use the camera and microphone — choose Allow. Once you are live, others can request to view your camera, and you can request to view theirs.
You decide who sees you. You can stop your camera at any moment with a single tap.
Fixing camera problems
If the camera does not start, check that no other app (like WhatsApp or Zoom) is using it. On Android Chrome, tap the lock icon in the address bar and set Camera to Allow. On iPhone, open Settings → Safari → Camera and choose Allow, then reload the page. Desktop users should check the camera icon in the browser address bar.
Video chat responsibly
Keep video appropriate in public rooms. Do not record other users without consent, and never share someone else's video. Users who break these rules are removed.
