The House Rules

Random video chat moves fast. One tap, and you are face to face with someone you have never met — which is exactly the fun of it, and exactly why a video chat with strangers needs house rules. These are ours. Not legal wallpaper: the short list of things that keep a two-minute conversation with a stranger worth having.

• Be real, be respectful
• Keep it clean
• Never record others
• No scams, no spam
• Report when in doubt

Be real, be respectful

The first rule covers most of the rest: show up as yourself, and treat the person on your screen like a person. Your camera shows the real you — no pretending to be someone else, and no fake identity built to win trust you have not earned. Catfishing wastes everyone's evening and breaks rule one twice.

Respect is the other half. No harassment, no slurs, no hate, and no pressing a match for anything after they have said no — or simply gone quiet. You never owe anyone a conversation; one tap on Next ends any call, for any reason. But while a call is running, the stranger in front of you gets basic courtesy. That is the whole deal.

Keep public areas clean

Anything a stranger can see — your camera feed, your profile photo — stays clean. Concretely: no nudity or sexual content on camera, nothing illegal, nothing violent or shocking, and nothing involving minors. Ever. Full stop. Camsurf is a place for conversation, not a stage for testing what you can get away with.

If a match is pushing past this line, you do not have to argue with them. End the call, tap Report, and let moderation take it from there. One clean exit beats five minutes of discomfort — every time.

No recording or screenshots of others

You may not record, screenshot, or rebroadcast another user without their clear consent. This one matters enough to say precisely: it is a rule you agree to as a user, not a promise that recording is technically impossible. No app can stop a second phone pointed at a screen, and we will not pretend otherwise.

What we can do is treat it as the violation it is. Sharing a clip or a still of someone who never agreed to it is one of the fastest ways to lose your access to Camsurf — and depending on where you live, it can break the law too. When in doubt, ask first. When told no, let it go.

No scams, no spam

Money is the hard red line. Never ask a match for money, gifts, gift cards, crypto, or "emergency" help — and never send any of those to someone you met minutes ago, no matter how good the story sounds. Real connections do not start with a wallet.

For clarity on our side: Camsurf is free to start, and the only payment mechanic inside the product is coins for longer or premium sessions, always shown before you confirm. Anyone steering you toward an outside link, an off-platform payment, or a helpful "agent" is breaking this rule on purpose. Same goes for spam — no advertising, no mass-promoting another service, no script flooding matches with the same pitch. Report it and move on.

What happens when you break the rules

Consequences scale with the behaviour, in three steps. Minor slip-ups — a borderline camera angle, one heated moment — usually earn a warning. Repeat it, or cross a clearer line, and features get limited: matching slows down or pauses for a while. Serious violations — scams, recording others, anything involving minors — skip the ladder and go straight to suspension or a permanent ban.

Every report goes to a human review, and context matters: an honest mistake is handled differently from a pattern. The full reporting playbook — what happens after you tap Report, and how blocking works — lives in the safety center. And if you believe a decision about your own account was wrong, write to support[at]camsurf.cc with what happened and when. Appeals are read by people, not auto-replied.

The fine-print version of everything on this page is in the terms of service. This page is the version you will actually remember — which is the one that matters at 1 a.m. when a match goes sideways.
