Safety
The honest version is short: most of the risk in video chat with strangers is not exotic, and almost none of it is technical. Here is what we enforce, and the four things worth not saying.
What We Enforce
Rules that apply to hosts and callers alike, not just to whoever is easier to remove.
18+ Only
Both sides. Accounts found to belong to minors are removed, and so are callers who ask a host their age with intent.
One-on-One
No audience, no recording library, no way for a third party to join. What happens in the call stays between two people.
Leave Instantly
Ending a call is one tap, takes effect immediately and costs nothing. It is the most useful safety control on the site.
Same Rules Both Ways
Hosts are held to them and so are callers. Harassment, coercion and anything involving minors ends the account.
Never On Camera / Perfectly Fine
The left column is what actually costs people their anonymity. It is rarely anything dramatic.
- Your surname, employer or school
- Your street, building or neighbourhood
- Other handles, phone number or email
- Anything readable behind you — post, parcels, badges
- A first name, or no name at all
- What country or city you are roughly in
- What you do, in general terms
- Anything you would say to a stranger on a train
The Risk Nobody Warns You About
It is the background. A parcel with a label on the desk, a letter pinned to a corkboard, a university hoodie, a view out of a window in a small town — these have ended more people's anonymity than anything they said out loud. Point the camera at a blank wall and most of the problem disappears.
The second one is momentum. Conversations go well, and going well is exactly when handing over an Instagram handle feels harmless. It might be. But that decision is much better made an hour later, cold, than in the middle of a call that is going nicely.
What Moderation Actually Means Here
Not a filter that scans your face. It means reports get reviewed by people, and accounts that break the rules are removed rather than warned repeatedly. Anything involving minors is acted on first and without discussion.
It also means hosts can report callers. That is not a detail — it is the reason hosts are willing to be on camera at all, and a service where only one side can report ends up with nobody on the other end of the line.
If Something Goes Wrong
End the call first; it is instant and costs nothing. Then report the account. If the other person has something of yours — a handle, a screenshot, a name — do not negotiate with them. Report it, lock down whatever they have, and if it crosses into threats or extortion, that is a matter for the police in your country, not for a support ticket.

Safety — FAQ
It is as safe as what you give away. The structural risks are handled — calls are one-on-one with no audience, both sides answer to the same rules, and you can end any call instantly. The residual risk is almost entirely people volunteering identifying details they did not need to.
Calls are live between two people and we do not publish or offer any library of past calls. As on any platform, never send something you would not want to exist — but there is nothing here for anyone to browse.
End the call and use the report control. Reports are reviewed and accounts that break the rules are removed. Reporting is also how the host side stays usable, so it is worth doing rather than just skipping.
You decide what your camera sends. Calls do go better when both sides are visible, but that is a social point, not a requirement — and you can end the call at any moment.
You never enter personal details to take a call. There is no profile exchange, no phone number and no email shown to the other side. What they see is your video and what you choose to say.
No, and they are not permitted. This is an 18+ service on both sides. If you believe a minor is using it, report the account — that is the one report we act on fastest.
