Community Guidelines

MiniChat works when the person on the other camera is glad they met you. These guidelines set out how everyone here is expected to behave, along with the consequences of ignoring them.

Updated October 13, 2026

1. Adults only

Everyone on minichat.me must be 18 or older. Do not use the site if you are younger, and do not let a minor appear on your camera. See someone who looks under 18? Report them straight away.

2. Show up as yourself

Keep your face visible when your camera is on. Pointing the lens at a wall or a screen wastes the other person's match.
Do not pretend to be someone else, and do not play a video clip as if it were live.
One person per camera, unless the other person is happy to meet your friend.

3. Treat people decently

No insults, threats, stalking or pressure to continue a chat someone wants to leave.
No hate directed at race, religion, nationality, gender, sexuality, disability or appearance.
A no means no the first time. Tap Next and move on.

4. Keep it clean with strangers

Do not expose yourself or perform sexual acts in front of someone who did not ask for it. Random matching puts you in front of people without warning, and unsolicited explicit behaviour is the fastest route to a ban.

5. No selling, begging or scamming

Requests for cash, gift cards or crypto are banned, as is asking for any payment made away from the site.
Do not advertise products, channels or other platforms.
Do not send links designed to collect logins or install software.

6. Respect privacy

Do not record, screenshot or publish another person's video, voice or messages without clear permission. Do not ask for, or share, anyone's home address, documents or financial details.

7. Nothing illegal

Content involving minors, threats of violence, drug dealing, weapons sales and any other unlawful activity are prohibited and may be reported to the authorities.

8. Reporting and enforcement

Report is on the call screen; choose whichever reason matches best. Block adds the person to your blocked list. Breaking these guidelines can lead to anything from a warning to a permanent ban.

Should a ruling on your own account look mistaken to you, write to [email protected] and explain. We will look again.
