Everything you need to get started and get the most out of EmeraldChat — matching, calls, coins, accounts, and fixes. New here? Start with how it works.

Getting started

How do I start a chat?

Tap Start chatting, allow camera and microphone access when your browser asks, and you'll be matched with a woman who's online in seconds. No account or payment is needed to begin.

Do I need to sign up?

No — you can use EmeraldChat as a guest. Registering (it's free) lets you follow people, send messages, keep preferences, and pick up where you left off.

Which devices and browsers work?

Any modern phone or desktop browser — Safari, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. There's nothing to download. You can also add EmeraldChat to your home screen so it opens like an app.

Is it really free?

Matching and the opening moments of a call are free. Longer calls, gifts, and some preferences use coins (see Coins & billing). You're always shown a cost before anything is charged.

Camera & microphone

My camera or mic won't turn on

Grant camera/microphone permission for this site — tap the camera icon in your browser's address bar and choose Allow. Close other apps that may be using the camera, then reload the page.

I accidentally blocked access — how do I undo it?

Open your browser's site settings for emeraldchat.video, set Camera and Microphone to Allow, and reload. On iPhone, also check Settings › Safari › Camera/Microphone.

Can I talk without showing my camera?

Yes. You can keep it to a voice call if you'd prefer not to be on camera.

Matching & calls

How does matching work?

When you start, you join a live queue and are paired at random with a woman who's online at that moment. Every match is a private 1-on-1 call — never a public room.

How do I skip or end a call?

Tap Next for a new match, or End to stop. There's no penalty or cooldown for skipping.

Can I call a specific person again?

Yes — follow someone you've met, then start a call directly from their profile the next time they're online.

Coins & billing

What are coins?

Coins are the in-app credit that keep a call going beyond the free opening, and let you send gifts or unlock preferences like region. There's no subscription — you top up only when you want to.

When am I charged?

Never without warning. A short notice appears before a call moves from the free window into using coins, so you're always in control.

How do I add coins?

Open the recharge/top-up screen from your balance and choose a package. If you registered, your balance stays with your account.

Account & messaging

Guest vs registered — what's the difference?

Guests can start matching right away. Registering (free) unlocks following, messaging, saved preferences, and keeps your coin balance tied to your account across devices.

Can I message someone after a call?

Yes. Once you've met someone, you can send them messages in chat and follow them so it's easy to reconnect.

How do I sign in on another device?

Register or log in with the same account and your profile, follows, and balance come with you.

Safety & troubleshooting

How do I report or block someone?

Tap Report during a call — it disconnects you immediately and flags the account for our 24/7 moderation team. Blocked users won't be matched with you again. More on the Safety page.

The call keeps dropping

A weak connection can end calls early. Switch to stronger Wi-Fi or move closer to your router, and avoid large downloads during a call.

The page won't load or freezes

Reload the page, update your browser to the latest version, or try a different browser. Clearing the site's cache can also help.

Still need help?

If your question isn't answered here, our moderation team is reachable in-app via the Report button during any call. For staying safe on camera, see the Safety page; for the rules, read the Terms of Service.
