How ChatMet works, start to goodbye.

You open chatmet.chat, choose camera, mic or text, and press start. ChatMet links you with somebody who hit start around the same second. After that it is just two people talking: keep going while it is fun, move on the moment it stops being fun.

Nothing personal. ChatMet never asks for your legal name, a phone number or an inbox before the first chat; a nickname is enough. Logging in only becomes relevant if you buy coins or want the same account on another device.

Like any moderated service, ChatMet still keeps some technical records, such as an account ID, match times and reports, so that blocking and moderation actually work. The privacy policy lists everything in plain English.

It is random. ChatMet does not let anyone filter by country, gender, age or interests, and it does not rank people by looks. You get whoever is online and ready at the same time, which is why each match feels like a small surprise.

That randomness is the point. It is how people here end up with international friends they would never have searched for.

Free matches are waiting the moment a new account is created, so your first chats cost nothing. Then there is the Reward Center: spend some time online and it unlocks another batch, and that can happen a few times in a single day.

When your free matches run out, longer sessions use coins. You only ever get coins by choosing to top up. Exact amounts can change over time, so we keep the details on the free vs. paid page and the coins page rather than promising numbers here.

Next closes the chat on both screens and starts looking for someone else. Block guarantees that person will not land in your chats again. Report passes the conversation to a real moderator, who can ban accounts that cross the line.

None of these ask you for a reason. Leaving a conversation that does not feel right should be effortless. More on that in our safety guide.
