Getting started

How MimiChat works

Start by choosing who makes the introduction. Open the online list to pick someone yourself, or choose video, voice, or text matching and let the app pair you.

Browse online profiles

Browse: Choose someone
Match: Choose a mode
Before calling: Check account and rate prompts

Decide how to start, then check the details

Choose a route
For a direct call, look for the video call option on an online profile. To meet someone at random, open matching and pick the type of conversation you want.
Review the prompt
The app may ask you to sign in or grant access to your devices. When the app shows a rate or coin balance, check it before continuing.
End the session when you’re ready
Use the in-call or matching controls to leave. If nobody answers, return to the list or choose matching. If a call fails, check your browser’s device permissions before you retry.

Three ways to start your first conversation

Pick the situation closest to yours. The links take you to the relevant entry or guide so you can make the next decision with the right information.

I want to pick who I call

Open the online list, check the actions shown on a profile, and read any prompt before confirming the call. Keep browsing if someone is busy, unavailable, or does not answer.

I want the app to make the introduction

Open matching, choose video, voice, or text, and follow the account or device prompts for that mode. You can leave while waiting or end a conversation when you are ready.

Open the matching screen

I want to start without turning on my camera

Use voice if you can speak and are comfortable giving the browser microphone access. Use text when you are in a shared room or want to chat without granting either permission.

Common questions

How do I get started without a camera?

Choose voice or text matching. Voice uses a microphone. Text needs neither device.

What if someone does not answer my call?

Go back to the online list and choose another person, or try matching. Online status does not guarantee an answer.

Do I get the same prompt for every conversation?

The prompt can depend on your account and the entry you use. Check the device permissions, rate, and balance each time the service asks you to confirm.

Where should I start if a call fails?

Identify whether the problem is your own camera, microphone, what you hear, or the connection. Then use the troubleshooting guide for that symptom before retrying.
