Random video chat is one of the fastest ways to meet new people from anywhere in the world. It's spontaneous, it's fun, and — like anything involving strangers online — it works best when you know a few ground rules. Here are 10 tips to keep your experience on FriendHub safe and enjoyable.
1. Never share personal information
Avoid giving out your full name, home address, school, workplace, or phone number to someone you've just met. A friendly chat doesn't require any of that.
2. Trust your instincts
If a conversation feels off, you don't owe anyone an explanation. Click "Leave" and move on to the next match.
3. Watch out for requests to move platforms too quickly
Be cautious if someone immediately pushes to continue the conversation on another app. Take your time getting to know someone first.
4. Keep your background in mind
Before you start a call, glance around your camera's view. Avoid showing house numbers, mail, ID cards, or other identifying details in the background.
5. Use the report button
If someone behaves inappropriately, report them right away. Reports help keep the community safe for everyone else too.
6. Remember: FriendHub is for adults 18 and older
Our community is intended for adults only. If you suspect you're speaking with a minor, end the call and report it immediately.
7. Don't feel pressured
You're always in control of the conversation. It's okay to skip, end a call, or say no to something you're not comfortable with.
8. Be mindful of what you screenshot or record
Respect the other person's privacy the same way you'd want yours respected — don't record or share a call without consent.
9. Use a strong, unique password
Protect your account with a password you don't reuse elsewhere, and consider signing in with Google for an extra layer of account security.
10. Have fun, but stay aware
Most conversations on FriendHub are lighthearted and genuine. A little awareness goes a long way toward making sure every chat stays that way.
