How to start a conversation with a stranger
Begin with something easy to answer: what music they have on repeat, a place they would visit tomorrow, or a skill they are trying to learn. Open questions make a video call feel natural without becoming personal too quickly.
- Ask about interests, not private identifiers.
- Notice whether the other person respects a no.
- Move on when the conversation feels pressured.
- Report threats, exploitation, fraud, or suspected minors.
Information that should stay private
Do not reveal your full name, home address, workplace, financial details, passwords, verification codes, or documents. Be cautious when someone quickly asks you to move to another platform or send money.
Leaving is part of the product
Ending an uncomfortable chat is not rude. Skip and Block exist because a respectful stranger accepts that every participant can leave at any time.
