How it works: three steps and you're talking

1. Press start: no form, no account. Add a few interests first if you like, and say who you'd prefer to meet.

2. Get matched: within seconds a random person appears on screen. If you both listed similar interests, the matching takes that into account.

3. Talk or move on: chat by video or switch to text. If it isn't clicking, press Next and someone new is there right away.

Do I need an account to start a video chat?

No. Open the site, press start and allow the camera; that's the whole sign-up. We don't ask for an email, a phone number or a password, and there is no app to install. It runs in the browser on your phone or computer.

Is Chaturro really free, or is there a paid version?

It's free. There is no premium plan and no locked features: video, text chat, interests and the gender preference are open to everyone on Chaturro. We don't ask for a card and there is nothing to unlock later.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, without downloading anything. Open Chaturro in your phone or tablet browser, allow the camera and it works the same way as on a computer, with the same buttons and the same options. You can chat from the couch, the bus or wherever you happen to be.

What do I do if someone behaves badly?

Press Next and you're out of that conversation instantly. If it was serious, hit the report button: every report counts, and the automated systems remove people who break the rules quickly. Then carry on with the next person.
