The StrangerBeing
User Guide.

Starting your journey on StrangerBeing is incredibly simple. Unlike other social platforms that demand your personal details, we require zero registration. Just head over to our homepage or click on the "Start Video Chat" button.

Once you're in, your browser will ask for permission to access your camera and microphone. This is standard procedure for any video chat site. Click 'Allow' to enable the video feed. Don't worry, we don't record you. This access is strictly peer-to-peer, meaning it's just between you and the stranger you match with.

If you encounter issues, check our Features page to ensure your device is compatible, though we support almost all modern browsers and devices.

The thrill of meeting strangers comes with a responsibility to keep yourself safe. We've built robust systems to protect you, but your actions matter too. Here are some golden rules for safety:

• Never share personal information: This includes your full name, address, phone number, or financial details. Keep the conversation light and fun.
• Trust your instincts: If a conversation feels off or uncomfortable, hit the "Next" button immediately. You owe no one an explanation.
• Be aware of your background: Ensure there's nothing in your video background that could reveal your location or identity, like mail with your address or a school certificate.

We have automated moderation systems in place, but if you see someone breaking the rules, please report them. Together, we keep this community clean.

"ASL?" is boring. To have truly engaging conversations, try to be unique. Start with a friendly "Hello!" or a funny observation. A smile goes a long way in breaking the ice.

Since our platform is global, you'll meet people from different cultures. Be curious! Ask about their country, their food, or their music. People love sharing their culture. It's a great way to learn and makes the chat memorable.

Struggling with what to say? We often see users playing instruments, doing magic tricks, or showing off their pets. Talents are universal icebreakers.

If your screen is black or audio isn't working, first try refreshing the page. Often, browser permissions for camera/mic can get reset. Check the lock icon in your browser's address bar to ensure permissions are granted.

If you are on a mobile network, a weak signal might cause disconnections. Switching to Wi-Fi usually solves this. For more technical help, browse our FAQ section.
