The questions everyone asks before the first match
Before anyone taps start on a random video chat, the same questions come up: does it cost anything, do I have to sign up, are the people real, and is it actually private. This page answers all of them in one place, in plain language.
The short version: ChatRoulette Live is free to start, needs no account and no download, matches you one on one with a real person who is online right now, and keeps every chat in a sealed two-person room with skip, block and report one tap away.
If you would rather learn by doing, open a random chat and the first match answers most of this page in about ten seconds. For the safety side, the safety tips are worth five minutes before your first chat.
