Plain rules, fixed before any 1on1 video chat begins
Drop in on the video chatRules first, faces second.
Not long ago, 1 on 1 video chat meant a booked call with a tutor or a coach.
iPhone cameraNow it means one live stranger, just the two of you, with no audience. You won't know who turns up. So our house rules are short, written plainly and easy to find before your camera wakes up.
Three plain facts about our chat
An 18+ door
Our chat has one door, and it opens at eighteen. You answer about age before any face shows up, and the rules were written with that in mind.
Phone or computer, same chat
It all works inside your usual browser, with no setup step. If an iPhone keeps the camera dark, these fixes help.
Video that fills the display
Before: a stamp-sized face in the corner. After: the whole display. The expand control makes the call as big as your screen allows.
A question, then a stranger
You start by answering a single question, and only two replies fit. Man, and you'd rather talk to women. Woman, and you'd rather talk to men. Once you've said which, our chat goes hunting for someone to connect you with. Then a stranger's face appears, and you both act as if this happens to you every day. After the first sentence, it nearly feels that way.
One habit is worth more than any opening line.
Before your picture goes out, glance behind you. Mail with your name on it, a staff badge, a street sign through the window: each one tells a stranger where to find you. Move them out of the shot. Your room is not a postcard with the return address on it.
Rules read, room tidy
You and one stranger, talking for as long as it stays good.
Rules short enough to remember
Our 1 on 1 video chat keeps its rules brief, so you can remember them mid-sentence.
- Adults only, 18+. Nobody younger belongs in this conversation.
- Give the stranger the courtesy you'd hope to get back.
- A stranger's link stays unclicked, and the talk stays here, not in another messenger.
- No excuse is needed to leave: shutting the page ends the call.
- Complaints are filed from inside our chat, on its own terms. The full rules cover the details, and this page helps when a recording is used as a threat.

The rules take a minute to read, and one click takes you out of any call.
