Some nights you want a face; some nights you just want to type. You choose before you are matched — video, voice only, or text — and the two quiet modes never ask for your camera at all.
Pick a ModeFree to start · Works in your browser
The choice happens on the start screen, before anybody is paired with you. Here is what each lane gets you:
The mode is the first thing you set, not something you negotiate later. Video is what the start screen opens on; voice only and text are one tap away.
Typing only — no camera, no mic, nothing to set up. Built-in translation carries the chat when the stranger's language isn't yours.
You hear each other and nobody is on camera. Good for the nights when your conversation is ready and your face isn't.
Both cameras live from the first second. Your browser asks for camera permission before the match can start — that prompt is the real first step.
There is a third lane between the two: voice only — you hear each other and nobody is on camera. Whichever you pick, the match itself is random and one-on-one.
Yes — that choice is the first thing you make. Video, voice only or text: you set it on the start screen and the match runs in the mode you picked.
