FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about privacy, recording, browsers and troubleshooting.

Do I need an account?: No. There is no sign-up, email, password or profile. You create a room link and share it.
Is it free?: Yes. There are no paid tiers, ads or trackers.
How many people can join a room?: Two participants per room. A third person who opens the link will see “This room is full.”
How long does a room last?: A room stays open while someone is connected. Once empty, it is deleted automatically after the expiration period configured by the operator (60 minutes by default). Expired links show “This room has expired.”
Can anyone with the link join?: Yes, while the room is open and not full. Room IDs are random and practically impossible to guess, but a link is only as private as the channel you share it on.
Are calls encrypted?: Yes. Media is sent over WebRTC using DTLS-SRTP, directly between the two browsers. Our signaling server only relays connection setup data over HTTPS/WSS.
Does the server ever record or store the call?: No. Audio and video never pass through the server. Recordings and snapshots are created in your browser and stay there until you download them.
Will the other person know if I record?: Yes. When you start a recording, a “Recording you” notice appears on the other participant's screen, and a red indicator is shown on yours.
What formats are recordings saved in?: WebM (VP8/VP9 with Opus audio) in Chrome, Edge and Firefox; MP4 (H.264/AAC) in Safari. Snapshots are PNG images.
Where do downloads go?: Wherever your browser saves downloads. The app uses the standard browser download mechanism and never uploads files.
Which browsers are supported?: Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop, plus Safari on iOS and Chrome or Firefox on Android. Recording requires MediaRecorder support, which all of these have.
The page says my browser does not support video calling.: Make sure you are using a current browser version and that the page is loaded over HTTPS. Browsers only allow camera access on secure origins.
I blocked the camera by accident. How do I fix it?: Click the camera or lock icon in the browser address bar and allow camera and microphone for this site, then reload. On iOS, go to Settings → Safari → Camera / Microphone.
We can see “Connecting” but never connect.: Usually one side is on a restrictive network. Try a different network or mobile data. If you operate your own instance, configure a TURN server so calls can be relayed when a direct path is blocked.
Can I use this for group calls?: Not yet. The current release is designed for one-to-one calls. The architecture supports more participants, and group layouts may be added later.
