Help with your first match
Video Chat Setup
Get your camera and microphone ready for MatchVideoChat. Use your browser, check permissions, and fix common problems before your first match.
Get ready for a browser video call
MatchVideoChat offers video matching in your browser, without a separate app download. Use an up-to-date browser, a stable connection, and a working camera and microphone.
- Choose a quiet spot with light in front of you.
- Uncover your camera and connect headphones if you use them.
- Open matching and allow camera and microphone access when prompted.
- Check the preview and the call options before connecting.
Only allow device access on the site you intend to use. No download does not mean every call is free; review any trial allowance and charges shown in matching.
Use your regular phone browser
Open the site in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android as a starting point. If a link opens inside a social or messaging app and the camera does not work, try your regular browser.
Check that both the browser app and the website have camera and microphone permission. Close another app using the camera, and keep the calling page in the foreground while connecting.
Try these checks first
| Problem | First check |
|---|---|
| No permission prompt | Check whether you previously blocked the site in browser settings, then reload. |
| Black camera preview | Uncover the camera, choose the correct device, and close other camera apps. |
| No microphone sound | Check mute, the selected microphone, and system and site permissions. |
| Echo | Use headphones and close any duplicate call on a nearby device. |
| Choppy or frozen video | Try a steadier connection and pause large downloads. |
If your preview works but matching does not, read the on-screen message. The issue may involve availability, your account, a balance requirement, or a service error.
End the call and check your camera
Use the call controls to leave. If the camera indicator stays on, close the calling tab and check whether another app is using it. You can remove the site's device permissions in browser settings.
