What a live video call is here

Most video call apps connect you with people you already know. Emerald Chat does something different: it puts you on a live video call with someone you have not met yet, picked from the people online at that moment.

There is no feed to scroll and no profile to build first. You start the call, a real woman appears on camera, and you talk. If the conversation is good, keep going. If it is not, tap Next and you are on a new call within seconds.

Every call is 1v1 and private. No group room, no audience and no broadcast — just two people on a live video call. Every match is a real adult woman, which is what our video chat with women page is about.

You are on a call

Free live video call: what is free and what costs coins

"Free" is used loosely in this category, so here is exactly how it works here. Starting is free: no card, no sign-up form, and your first live video calls cost nothing. Continued matching after that uses coins. You only buy them if you want to keep going.

FREE
—Opening the site and starting your first matches
—Private 1v1 video with a real woman who is online now
—Skipping to a new person or ending a call
—Reporting anyone, any time
USES COINS
+Continued matching once your free matches are used
+Optional extras inside a call

Questions about coins or payments are answered in the Help Center.

A live video call online, no download

Calls run in the browser you already use: Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox, on a phone or a computer. Nothing to install and no app-store account needed. That also means nothing is left on your phone when you are done.

If you call often, you can add the site to your home screen and it will open like an app. That is optional — the live video call works the same either way.

Women online for a live video call

Video calling strangers, safely

A live video call with a stranger only works if you can trust it. Here, every call is private and 1v1, and you can leave it with one tap, with no penalty and no cooldown.

  • Report is one tap. It disconnects you at once and sends the account to human moderators.
  • No public rooms. Nobody else is watching your call.
  • Keep private details private. Do not share your address, workplace, social accounts or payment details with someone you have just met, and never send money.
  • Adults only. Emerald Chat is strictly 18+.

How reporting, blocking and moderation work is explained in our safety guide.

Live video call FAQ

Is the live video call really free?

It is free to start. You can open the site and make your first live video calls without paying or adding a card. After your free matches, continued matching uses coins, which you only buy if you want to keep going.

Do I need to download an app for a live video call?

No. Calls run in your web browser on Android, iPhone or desktop. If you like, you can add the site to your home screen so it opens like an app, but nothing has to be installed.

Who will I be on a live video call with?

A real adult woman who is online at the same moment as you. Every call is 1v1. It is not a group room and nobody else is watching.

Can I video call strangers safely here?

Calls are private and 1v1, and you can end one with a single tap. The Report button disconnects you and sends the account to human moderators. Keep personal details such as your address, workplace and payment information to yourself, as you would with anyone you have just met.

Is this the same as a WhatsApp or FaceTime call?

No. Those apps call people you already know. Emerald Chat is for meeting someone new on a live video call. To call a friend, use the app you already have.

Do I need an account to start?

No sign-up form is needed to start a call. You only add details later if you choose to buy coins.

Are calls recorded?

We do not record calls. When you press End, the call is over.

Is it for adults only?

Yes. Emerald Chat is strictly 18+.
