A language you can both enjoy
Look at the information the person has chosen to share. If you are unsure which language to use, ask politely rather than assuming a picture or location tells you what someone speaks.
BROWSE BEFORE YOU CALL
Look through the available profiles and choose who to contact. Start with a message or a one-on-one video call, directly in your browser.
You do not have to begin every conversation at random. Browsing gives you a chance to look through the available profiles and decide where you would like to start.
Open a profile that interests you and use the contact options shown in the product. A photo gives you a starting point; it does not guarantee that someone can answer immediately.

You might prefer a short message, or you might be ready for video. Choose the available option that suits you instead of feeling you must start on camera.
Music, hobbies, food and everyday stories make useful first questions. Choose a topic you would enjoy answering yourself and leave room for the other person’s response.
A short hello gives you both a smaller first step. You can ask a question, see whether the conversation gets going and decide about video when it suits you both.
Explore how to message before a call. The product may ask you to sign in or show paid options for particular features, so follow the notices for the action you choose.
Pick a comfortable place with enough light and a steady connection. Review camera and microphone permissions when the browser requests them, and keep private details out of your background.
The girls on the service are real users. A reply, an immediate connection or a particular kind of conversation is still up to the person and her availability. Respect someone’s choice to end a chat.
If choosing a profile is not what you want today, random video chat is another way to begin.
Yapchat has free options to get started. Available access and paid features can vary by account or region. Review any price or payment notice before continuing with a paid action. See the free and paid options page, or read how your first call works.
Yes. The browsing area lets you look through the available profiles and choose a person to contact using the options shown in the product. What happens next depends on the person’s availability and the feature you choose.
Not necessarily. Availability changes, and a photo is not a live status indicator. Use the current information shown in the product and allow time for a response rather than treating a displayed profile as a guaranteed connection.
Yes. You can use the messaging options available to you and decide about a video call later. Messaging may involve account steps or paid options, so review the prompts shown for that feature.
Browse first, take your time and choose the next step that suits you.
