Anonymous video chat
Anonymous video chat: start as a guest, stay in control
On Meetchi you can start a one-to-one random video chat as a guest, without an email address or account. You are not invisible: your match sees your camera, hears your voice and sees your display name and a country flag.
“Anonymous” is often used loosely by video chat sites. This page explains precisely what guest access on Meetchi hides, what it cannot hide, and how to keep your identity private while still having a real conversation.

How to start an anonymous video chat
- Open Meetchi in a desktop or mobile browser.
- Confirm you are 18 or older and continue as a guest.
- Allow camera and microphone access when your browser asks.
- Talk, press Next for someone new, or Report and Block if a chat breaks the rules.
What anonymity cannot protect
A guest session keeps account details out of the conversation, but video is personal by nature. The other person can see and hear you and could record their screen, even though recording without consent is against our rules.
Meetchi and its infrastructure providers process technical data such as your IP address to run the service, as described in the Privacy Policy. Guest access is about what other users see, not a promise that no data is processed.
Tips for staying private on camera
- Use a nickname and keep your full name, school and workplace to yourself.
- Check the frame for mail, documents, photos, street views and uniforms.
- Do not move to another app or share social profiles under pressure.
- Never share codes, passwords, payment details or your address.
- Leave immediately if anyone asks for anything that makes you uncomfortable.
Guest or account?
Guest access is the quickest way to try random video chat. Signing in unlocks friend requests, private messages with accepted friends, Global Rooms text chat and Gold. Reports and blocks tied to an account also persist across sessions.
