Ground rules for anyone who turns the camera on
Strangers can talk freely only when each side keeps to a few basics. These rules are short, and they protect the other person as much as they bind you.
The rule everything else hangs on
You must be eighteen or over to join, and the chat opens with a one-press 18+ confirmation. One press proves nothing, so the rule rests on your honesty.
If you are younger, close this page now. Everything below is written for adults, and some of it would not be fit for you to read.
Four things that are out of bounds, and what to do instead
| Where it shows up | Not allowed | Do this |
|---|---|---|
| Anything sexual on camera | Anything illegal, whatever the mood: nothing involving minors, nothing filmed or shown without the consent of everyone in the picture, nothing forced | Keep to what both of you chose. If it is not clearly wanted, treat it as unwanted |
| How you speak | Insults, threats, slurs, mocking someone's body, accent or background | Disagree calmly, or leave. Leaving is always allowed |
| What the lens sees | Filming a monitor, a print or a saved video instead of yourself; held-up signs; masks that hide who is actually there | Be on camera live, as the person you are |
| Promotion | Ads, addresses of other sites, one message pasted to everybody, begging, any request for money or a phone top-up | Just talk. A request for cash gets no answer from you |
Blunt keyword, firm limits
The word that brought many people here is a blunt one, but the rules are not. Being an adult on a video chat means you decide what happens on your own camera, and it also means you answer for it.
Illegal content is out in every case. Minors, recordings made without consent and anything that comes from pressure or threat are never acceptable here, however the other person words it.
A decent call, in five habits
Say hello before anything else; a stranger who skips that tends to be skipped in return.
Treat the first no as a full answer, whether it is spoken or just a turned head.
Keep yourself and your room in the picture, because a live person is what the other side came for.
Leave sales pitches, invite codes and web addresses out of the talk.
When the mood turns sour, press next; you lose a minute, nothing more.
Adult video talk without the waiting room
Hop onto the video chatEdge cases, answered straight
May I show a picture or an old recording instead of myself?
No. The person on the screen agreed to meet someone live, and a picture held to the lens takes that away from them. Show yourself or leave.
What about a funny mask, just for a laugh?
Not when it hides who is there. If you have a joke, make it with your own face and voice.
Someone asks me to follow a link or send a few coins. Is that normal?
It has no place in this chat, and it breaks the rule on promotion and money. Ignore it and start another call.
Where do sign-in and plan conditions come from?
Getting in needs no sign-in on your side. Anything about extra minutes or a paid plan appears inside the chat when you get there, and the conditions for visitors cover the rest.
Now the fun part
An account is not a condition for starting, and the first attempt costs nothing. Confirm 18+, pick which of the two describes you, give the camera permission, and the first conversation can begin.
