Questions before you start
Do I need to sign up?
No. You can start chatting without registration. No email, phone number or social login.
Is SillyChat free?
Yes. Random video and text chat are free, with no hidden fees, subscriptions or premium tiers.
Are my chats recorded?
No. 1-on-1 chats are peer-to-peer: video calls are not recorded and text messages are not saved once the session ends. If someone is reported, one still frame from their video is kept as evidence, and posts in public chat rooms stay up for others to read.
