Your camera and microphone stay in your hands.

The browser asks before a video call can use your devices. You can change those permissions in browser or phone settings.

Camera unavailable? Check permissions and close any other app using it.

Camera

Allow access when prompted. During a supported call, use the control on your local video preview to switch front and back cameras.

Microphone

Allow access when prompted. Check your phone’s volume and microphone settings if audio is missing.

QUICK ANSWERS

Mobile questions, answered.

Do I have to install an app?

No. Chatroulette.cam works in your browser. Adding the site to your home screen is optional and is different from downloading a native app.

Why can’t the other person see or hear me?

Check this site’s camera and microphone permissions in your browser, your phone’s device permissions, and whether another app is using the camera or microphone.

Can I switch between front and back cameras?

During a supported video call, use the switch-camera control on your local video preview. It is not shown on the matching preview before a call begins.

Is the first chat free?

Your first visit includes welcome matches and messages. Review the current allowance and any call price in the service before starting a paid action. See the free matches guide.
