How MiniChat Live protects you
Safety is not a setting you have to find — it is built into how every video chat works.
Anonymous by default
No real name and no account are required to start. You share only what you choose, and your camera stays off until you turn it on.
Closed one-on-one rooms
Every chat is a private room with just you and one other person. There is no group, no public feed and no audience watching.
One-tap block & report
Mute, skip, block or report anyone instantly — no explanation needed. Blocking is permanent and you will not be matched with them again.
24/7 moderation
A live moderation team and automated safeguards work around the clock. Under-18s are not permitted, and abusive behaviour leads to a ban.
Simple habits that keep you safe
A few small habits make meeting new people online safe and fun. Keep conversations on MiniChat Live rather than moving to other apps with people you have just met. Never share personal details like your full name, address, financial information or passwords.
Trust your instincts: if a conversation feels off, you owe no one an explanation — tap skip or leave, and block or report if needed. Take your time before turning your camera on, and remember you are always in control of what you show and say.
Community guidelines, in plain words
MiniChat Live is for friendly, respectful conversation between adults. You must be 18 or older to use it. Nudity, sexual content, harassment, hate speech, threats, and any illegal activity are not allowed and will result in a permanent ban.
Do not record, screenshot or share anyone else without their consent. Treat every person you meet the way you would want to be treated. Breaking these rules — or making MiniChat Live unsafe for others — ends your access, no warning required.
Need help or want to report something?
You can report anyone directly inside a chat with one tap, or email our team any time at [email protected]. We review every report and act quickly on anything that puts someone at risk.

How moderation works behind the scenes
Two layers keep MiniChat Live safe at once: software that never sleeps and people who make the judgement calls.
Automated safeguards run on every chat, watching for the patterns that signal abuse and acting on the clearest cases instantly. Behind them sits a human moderation team, on shift around the clock, that reviews reports and handles the situations software should not decide alone. The two work together so obvious violations are stopped fast and borderline ones still get a real person's attention.
When you report someone, the chat closes and the details go to that team for review. Serious violations — threats, sexual content, anything involving a minor, or clearly illegal behaviour — lead to a permanent ban rather than a warning. You are never asked to prove your case or argue it; one tap is enough, and people who keep breaking the rules are removed for good.
The privacy controls in your hands
Privacy here is not one switch buried in a menu — it is spread across a handful of controls that are on by default.
No real name
You are never asked for your legal name, phone number or email to start a chat. To the other person you are only ever what you choose to show in that moment.
Camera on your terms
The lens stays dark until you switch it on, and you can turn it off again at any point. A conversation can happen entirely with your camera off if that is what you want.
Nobody is watching
Each chat is a closed room for two. There is no public feed, no audience, and no way for a third person to join or watch — when you leave, the room is gone.
Leave without a trace
Skip or close a chat any time and there is no shared history to clean up, no follower list, and no profile trail linking one conversation to the next.
How to spot a scam or someone acting in bad faith
Most people you meet are just there to talk. The few who are not tend to follow the same script — once you know it, they are easy to shut down.
Be wary of anyone who rushes to move you off MiniChat Live to another app or messenger, especially in the first minutes. The point of moving you is to get you somewhere with fewer safety tools and no moderation. A genuine person is happy to keep talking here; someone pushing hard to swap numbers or add you elsewhere straight away is a red flag on its own.
Never send money, gift cards, crypto or bank details to anyone you meet on video chat — there is no exception that turns out to be real. The classic pattern is a warm, fast connection followed by a sudden emergency, a stuck payment, or an investment only they can access. Requests for revealing photos, threats to share a recording, and links you are urged to click all belong in the same bucket: stop responding, block, and report.
Trust the smaller signals too. A story that keeps changing, pressure to act quickly, over-the-top flattery from a stranger, or insistence on secrecy are all reasons to end a chat. You never owe anyone an explanation for leaving — if something feels off, that feeling alone is reason enough.
What moderation can see, and what stays private
Safety and privacy pull in opposite directions, so it helps to be clear about where the line sits.
Your conversations are private two-person rooms. They are not broadcast, listed or opened up to other users, and nobody can browse or replay your chats. At the same time, moderation has to be able to act on abuse, which is why a report gives the team what it needs to review that specific incident. The aim is narrow — enough to stop bad actors, not a record of everyone's conversations.
What that means in practice is simple: share only what you are comfortable sharing, because the person on the other end is a stranger, not us. Keep passwords, financial details, home addresses, and anything you would not tell a stranger on the street out of the chat entirely. Anonymity protects you best when you use it — the less identifying information you hand over, the less anyone can ever do with it.
If something goes wrong, here is what to do
Leave the chat first — tap skip or close it so you are out of the room. Then block the person so you are never matched with them again, and report them so the moderation team can act on the account. These three taps take seconds and are always available; you never have to stay in an uncomfortable conversation to deal with it.
For anything serious, email [email protected] with what happened. If someone has threatened you, shared or threatened to share private images, or you believe a minor is involved, contact your local police or the relevant authorities as well — those situations are for law enforcement, and we cooperate with legitimate requests. If you ever feel unsafe in the moment, close the tab; nothing keeps a chat open against your will.
The 18+ rule, and why it is strict
MiniChat Live is for adults only — you must be 18 or older to use it, with no exceptions. This is not a formality: an adults-only space is far easier to keep safe, and it is the clear line that lets moderation act decisively. Anyone found to be under 18, and any adult behaving inappropriately toward someone who appears to be a minor, is removed permanently and reported where the law requires it.
If you ever suspect the person you are matched with is under 18, do not continue the conversation — leave, and report them straight away. Taking that rule seriously protects everyone, and it is one of the few things we will never bend on.
A quick checklist for staying safe
None of this is complicated. A handful of habits, kept consistently, handle almost everything you will ever run into.
Keep the details vague
Your full name, address, workplace, school, and daily routine are nobody's business on a first chat. Talk about ideas, places and interests instead of the specifics that could identify or locate you.
Never move money
No genuine connection needs your bank details, gift cards or crypto. Any request for money, however sympathetic the story, is your cue to leave, block and report — no exceptions.
Watch for the rush
Pressure to hurry — swap apps now, decide now, send this now — is a tactic, not urgency. Slow down, and the pressure usually tells you exactly who you are dealing with.
Mind your background
Before your camera goes on, glance at what is behind you. Street signs, mail, a visible address or a workplace badge can give away more than you meant to share.
Use the tools early
Skip, block and report are there to be used, not saved for emergencies. The moment a chat feels wrong, act — you never owe a stranger the benefit of the doubt.
Trust the feeling
If something is off, that instinct is data. You do not need proof or a polite reason to leave; close the chat and move on to the next person.
Safety — questions, answered
Yes. It is anonymous by default, every chat is a private two-person room nobody else can watch, and you can mute, skip, block or report anyone in a single tap. Live moderation runs 24/7 and under-18s are not allowed.
