From the button to a face on screen in a few seconds. This page walks through matching, how the video chat starts, the camera and microphone permissions, browser access, and the private conversation flow.
The path
Open the site and press the button. There is no form, no download and no account required to begin.
The browser asks once. Allow both so the other person can see and hear you; you can mute or switch the camera off at any time.
Matching connects you with someone who is online right now and opens the call. Their live video is the first thing you see.
Stay as long as it is good. End the call and matching runs again — or close the tab, and nothing stays installed.
Matching on FTF Chat looks only at people who are online at that moment and available for a call, then connects you with one of them. You do not pick from a list and they do not pick from one either; the introduction is made for you, and it takes seconds. There is no queue and no profile to complete first.
If you would rather choose, profiles are open too: tap any portrait on the site to see who she is and start a call from her page. Either way the conversation that follows is the same private format. Who you can call is on the live girl video call page.
Every call on FTF Chat is between exactly two people. There is no room, no audience and no way for a third person to join. What you say is heard by her and nobody else, and FTF Chat does not record the conversation. When you end the call, nothing carries over into the next one. The format is described on FTF video call.
The first time you press Start, your browser asks for permission to use the camera and the microphone — the same prompt as any video call. Allow both and you will not be asked again on that device. During a call you can mute yourself or turn the camera off with one tap; a face-to-face chat works best with the camera on, but it is always your choice.
If the browser shows a black square or no sound, the permission was probably denied once. The help center has the fix for each browser.
FTF Chat runs in a normal web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Nothing is installed: when you close the tab, it is gone. You also do not need an account to start — sign up only if you want to keep favourites, history and credits between visits.
Starting is free. Some features and longer conversations use in-app credits, and the price is shown before you spend anything.
