What do you need now?
- Before a chat: review what not to share and the random video chat checklist.
- During a chat: state a boundary or leave an uncomfortable conversation.
- After something happened: choose account protection, scam recovery, report, block, or outside help.
- Immediate danger: end contact and contact local emergency services. Do not stay connected to collect evidence.
Four product choices are not interchangeable
Next moves toward another conversation when available. Stop ends the current conversation or journey in the applicable state. Report sends a concern through the verified reporting path. Block manages future interaction with an account according to verified product behavior. One action does not automatically perform the others.
Prevent avoidable exposure
Check the camera background, protect precise location and account details, treat money or code requests as warnings, pause before unfamiliar links, and assume visible content could be captured. These actions reduce exposure but do not create a guarantee.
What ChitChatVideo can and cannot promise
Verified product tools can support a decision to leave, report, or block. They cannot guarantee another person's identity or behavior, prevent every capture, promise a moderation outcome, or replace emergency services and specialized outside help.
Outside help has scope
US fraud and identity-theft resources are labeled as US services. NCMEC Take It Down and StopNCII have distinct eligibility and participating-platform limits. Use the page that matches the actual situation; no outside organization listed here is presented as affiliated with ChitChatVideo.

Review boundaries first. The quiet return action belongs here, not next to crisis or recovery content.

External help directory by situation
Unexpected link or account request → FTC phishing guidance and the appropriate local consumer authority. US identity theft → IdentityTheft.gov. Sextortion or coercive image threats → FBI guidance for US federal context. Eligible intimate-image cases → NCMEC Take It Down or StopNCII according to age-at-image and service eligibility. Immediate danger → local emergency services.
Read current eligibility and geographic scope before using a resource. Do not send harmful content merely to ask which service applies.
Age and eligibility
The product Terms—not this summary—govern eligibility. The verified policy says the service is not intended for anyone under 18 or below the applicable minimum age in their jurisdiction. That statement is not proof of identity or age verification.
