A simple first step

How to Start Talking to Someone New

The button opens the matching page first. Check the options and any available allowance there before starting a video match.

  1. Step 1

    Get Ready for Video

    Open the matching page with Start Video Chat. Prepare your camera and microphone, then review the options shown before starting.

  2. Step 2

    Say Hello

    When a video connection is established, try a short introduction or ask about a shared interest. Give the other person time to answer.

  3. Step 3

    See Where It Goes

    Keep talking when the conversation feels natural, or move on and meet someone else.

More than just a hello

A New Conversation Can Start Anywhere

You do not need the perfect opening line. A shared interest, a simple question or even a quick introduction can turn a random conversation into an interesting connection.
