Quick start
How to start on ChamaLive without friction
First visit to first live conversation in under five minutes — permissions, feed, match, and optional account.
First visit
Open chama.live in Chrome, Safari, or Firefox on phone or desktop. The home screen shows the vertical feed and a prominent Start match button.
When the browser asks for camera and microphone, tap Allow — required only once per browser profile for video mode.
Feed vs random match
Swipe the feed to preview hosts live now — tap a card to connect 1-on-1 with intent. Or tap Start match to enter the random queue for surprise partners.
Use Next anytime to switch partners without returning home.
Optional account
Favorites, history, and gifts unlock with a free optional profile. Core chat works before you create one.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an app?
- No — browser is enough. Add PWA to home screen if you want an icon.
- What if video fails?
- Try audio or text first; check permissions and close heavy background apps.
