PinkChat Help Center: Quick Answers, Fewer Headaches

Most problems on a video chat come down to a permission, a connection or a misunderstanding about what is free. This page covers each, in the order people usually run into them.

  • Camera and mic help
  • Free matches and coins
  • Reports and safety

Getting started

Open PinkChat in a current browser, allow camera and microphone when asked, pick video, voice or text and tap Start. That is all. If you want a visual walk-through, how PinkChat works shows every step.

On a phone, add the page to your home screen and it opens like an app. That turns it into a pink video chat app on your phone, step by step.

Camera or microphone not working?

  1. Allow access. Look for the camera icon in your browser's address bar. If it is crossed out, click it and allow.
  2. Close competitors. Another tab or an app such as a meeting tool may be holding the camera.
  3. Reload. Close the tab, reopen PinkChat and try again.
  4. Try another browser. Chrome or Safari, updated, is the safest bet.
  5. Use headphones if you hear an echo.

Free matches and coins

You get a few free matches every day, and the number left shows on the Start button. They reset daily. Longer or premium sessions use coins, and the price is shown before you spend. If a purchase fails, check your payment details and try again. If it still fails or you were charged without receiving coins, write to us with the time and amount.

Your account

You can look around without building a profile. After your free matches, you may be asked to sign in. Keep your sign-in details private and do not share your account with others. If you cannot get in, contact support with the email you used.

Safety, reports and blocking

Tap Next to leave any chat. Use the report option when someone breaks the rules in the community guidelines, and block them so you are not matched again. Our safety tips list the habits that keep calls comfortable.

If something serious happened, use the contact page as well.

Nothing here worked?

Write to us at the address on the contact page. It helps if you tell us what device and browser you use, what you expected to happen and what actually happened.

Good to know

Why is my camera black?

Usually a permission or another app using the camera. Allow access in the browser, close other apps and reload.

Why can I not hear the other person?

Check your volume and that the tab is not muted. Using headphones also helps. If it persists, reload and start a new match.

How many matches are free each day?

A few every day. The number left appears on the Start button.

How do I report someone?

Use the report option on the call screen, then tap Next. See the safety tips.

Is PinkChat available as an app?

It is a web app that works in your browser, with no download. You can add it to your home screen.

How do I contact support?

Use the details on the contact page.

Problem solved?

Allow your camera, tap Start and try again. Your first matches are free.
