Allowing camera and microphone
On your very first match the browser requests camera and microphone access — allow it and you are face to face. Denied it earlier by accident? Open your browser’s site settings for tinchat.cam, switch both permissions back on, and reload. Without permission there is no video, and that choice is always yours; the privacy policy explains what the access does and does not touch.
Skipping, and being skipped
Leaving a chat takes one tap, at any moment, for any reason. Nobody keeps score — skip ten matches in a row if that is what it takes to land the right conversation. Being skipped yourself is the format talking, not a verdict on you: the queue is deep and another face loads in seconds.
Coins, and where free stops
Your opening matches ride free — no card requested, no sign-up wall. Longer sessions may spend coins, with each price printed on the button and waiting for your confirmation before anything charges. The TinChat Free page maps exactly where free ends and coins begin.
Reporting someone
A report button lives on every call screen. One tap ends the match and sends the session context to human moderators, who take it from there. Not sure something crossed the line? Report anyway — making that call is their job, and each report keeps the queue worth joining.
Blocking someone
Blocking someone means the matcher can never pair you with them again. It happens instantly and silently — they are never notified — and you can use it as often as you need. Pair block with report: blocking ends your problem, reporting stops it from becoming someone else’s.
Is an app or an account needed?
Neither. Everything runs in the browser already on your phone or computer, and a first match asks for no account at all. The TinChat app page explains the browser setup and the optional home-screen icon. Still stuck after that? Contact us and a human takes it from there.
