No, we do not record or store any video chats or text conversations. All communication happens in real-time and is not saved on our servers. Once a conversation ends, it's gone. We also prohibit users from recording conversations, and doing so may violate privacy laws.

If someone is behaving inappropriately:

1. Click the "Next" button immediately to disconnect
2. Use the "Report" button to flag the user
3. Our moderation team will review the report and take appropriate action
4. For severe violations, we may involve law enforcement

Yes, complete anonymity is core to ChatRand. We don't require usernames, profiles, or personal details. Other users only see what you choose to share during your conversation. We also don't store your chat history or video recordings.

ChatRand is designed for random connections, so you cannot select specific users. However, you can use the "Next" button to skip to a new random person at any time. If you prefer chatting with users from a specific country or language group, you can set preferences in the settings menu (where available).

Common troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure you've granted camera/microphone permissions in your browser
