Safety on MeetCamTV

MeetCamTV puts you on camera with a person you've never met, picked at random. That's the product. It also means no one, including MeetCamTV, can promise every call will go well. This page covers what happens to your camera, what the other side can learn about you, and the few habits that keep a bad call from becoming a bigger problem.

MeetCamTV is for adults 18 and over. If the person on your screen looks younger than that, end the call and report them.

Your camera and microphone

Nothing turns on until you press start. At that point your browser shows its own permission prompt for the camera and the microphone. You can refuse, but a video match needs both.

Your browser holds that permission; MeetCamTV only asks for it. You can revoke it at any time in your browser's site settings for meetcamtv.live. After you revoke it, the next start will ask again.

Before you press start

1. Look at your self-view. Whatever is in that frame is what a stranger sees: letters with your address, a work lanyard, photos on the wall, the view out of your window.
2. Pick a username that isn't your real name. Guests get a random name to start with. If you change it, pick something that says nothing about where you live or work.
3. Decide in advance what you won't share: your full name, city, workplace and social handles. A rule you set before the call is easier to keep than one you make up mid-conversation.

During a call

• You don't owe anyone time. When the countdown ends you can move on, and you can always close the page.
• Assume you're being recorded. The other person can film their screen with a second phone or a recording app. MeetCamTV can't detect or stop that.
• Ignore attempts to move the chat off MeetCamTV. Requests to "add me on" another app, links and QR codes are common scam openers.
• Money is a hard no. Don't send money, gift cards, crypto or verification codes, whatever reason you're given.

Reporting and blocking

If someone threatens you, shows sexual content you didn't ask for, tries to get money from you, or looks under 18, report them. Block them if you don't want to hear from them again.

Reports go to a review team. There's no promised response time, and a report won't undo anything already recorded, so end the call first and report right after.

If something already went wrong

• Someone is threatening to share a recording of you unless you pay: stop replying, don't pay, and keep screenshots of their messages and username. Report it to the FBI at ic3.gov if you're in the US. StopNCII.org can help stop intimate images from spreading on major platforms.
• You think you saw a minor in a sexual situation: report it to the NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org , and report the account on MeetCamTV.
• You lost money: report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov (US) and contact your bank or card issuer straight away.
• You feel unsafe right now: call 911 in the US, or the emergency number where you are.

What MeetCamTV can't do

It can't verify who is on the other end; video shows a face, not an identity. It can't stop screen recording. And it can't see what someone does after a call ends. Keep that in mind, and the habits above will do most of the work.
