📹 Webcam chat on LibertiChat

A chat where people see and hear each other, not just type at each other. Walk in as a guest, turn the camera on if you feel like it, and six settings decide who is allowed to see you. Free, in the browser, on a computer or a phone.

How it works

Five steps, and you are in. None of them is compulsory — staying on text is perfectly fine.

Open the site. Nothing to download, nothing to install — it all happens in the browser, on a computer or a phone.

Walk in, with or without an account. Guest access is instant and enough to talk. Creating a nickname lets you keep it, add friends and level up.

Allow the camera. The browser asks once. Until you say yes, nobody sees anything — and you can still chat.

Choose who sees you. This is the setting that matters: from “everyone” to “nobody unless I invite them”, six levels to pick from.

Switch off whenever you like. One click turns the camera off without leaving the room or the conversation.

Who sees your camera: the six settings

This is the heart of it, and you can change it at any moment from the camera bar. Until you switch the camera on, nobody sees anything.

🌍 Everyone

Any member who is online can see your video.

👥 Friends only

Only the people on your friends list can see you.

3️⃣ Level 3 and up

Brand-new accounts are excluded — only settled members see you.

🚪 This room

Only the people in the room you are currently in can see you.

✉️ Private

Nobody sees you unless you invite them yourself.

Ask me first

Every request comes to you: accept or decline, one at a time.

Camera, voice, or text only

📹 The camera

Show yourself if you want, to whoever you want, and switch off with one click. The rest of the chat carries on without it.

🎙 The microphone

Talk out loud in the room. Plenty of members use only this: heard, but not seen.

💬 The text

Written chat works on its own, with images and links. It is the quietest of the three.

🚪 The rooms

Each one has its own mood and its own moderators. You can also open your own and invite whoever you like.

On a phone as well as a computer

The site adapts to the screen: front or rear camera, microphone and written chat all behave the same on a phone. Nothing to install, nothing to update. There is also an Android app if you would rather have an icon on your home screen.

If the camera will not turn on

Nine times out of ten the browser permission was denied once and is never asked again, or another program is holding the camera open. We wrote the full walkthrough, browser by browser.

Safety and moderation

Going on camera takes two or three simple habits, and the site gives you the tools: a visibility setting, invitation refusals, an ignore list, reporting, and moderators.

Frequently asked questions

What is webcam chat?

A chat room where you can see and hear each other instead of only typing. On LibertiChat the camera and microphone sit on top of the text chat: you walk into a room, turn your camera on if you feel like it, and talk to whoever is there. Nothing forces you to show your face — plenty of members stay on text, or on voice alone.

Is it really free?

Completely. No subscription, no minutes to buy, no paid tier that unlocks the camera. Video, voice, rooms and games are open to everyone.

Do I need an account to use my webcam?

No. Guest access is instant: pick a nickname and you are in. An account is worth having — it keeps your name, gives you a friends list and lets you level up — but it is not required to chat or to go on camera.

Who can see my camera?

You decide, and it takes one click. There are six levels: everyone, friends only, members of level 3 and up, only the people in the room you are in, private by invitation, or “ask me first”, where every single request is handed to you to accept or decline. Until you switch the camera on, nobody sees anything.

Can I chat without turning my camera on?

Of course, and most people do. Text works on its own, voice works on its own, and you can watch others without showing yourself. The camera is an option, never a condition of entry.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — front or rear camera, microphone and written chat. The site adapts to the screen, there is nothing to install and nothing to update. An Android app also exists for anyone who prefers an icon on their home screen.

My webcam will not turn on. What now?

Nine times out of ten the browser permission was denied once and is never asked again, or another program is holding the camera open. Close other tabs and apps that use the camera, check the permission icon in the address bar, and reload the page. Our blog walks through every case, browser by browser.

Is the chat moderated?

Yes. Moderators and automatic tools watch the rooms, and every member can ignore, report, or refuse invitations they do not want. The site rules are public and apply to video exactly as they apply to text.

Your camera never switches itself on. The browser asks for your permission, and until you grant it nobody sees a thing. Once it is on, your visibility setting applies immediately, and you can switch off at any moment without leaving the room.
