Be present

Look at the camera occasionally, not only your own preview. Mute if you must step away.

Avoid eating loudly or having loud TV in the background — it reads as disinterest.

Respect skip and consent

If someone skips you, move on without harassment. Do not follow them across sessions.

Ask before showing sensitive content or changing the tone of the conversation.

Optional paid features

Some interactions may involve credits or gifts. Only send paid items when you understand the price shown in the UI.

See Credits for information about optional virtual items. Matching can still require account or age confirmation.
