Video, voice or text rooms for up to 20 people, built around a topic rather than a free-for-all. Raise your hand, share your screen, spotlight a speaker, or start your own room and invite people into it.
Pick the format that matches the conversation, and the mood you are in.
Face to face. The default, and the format most people choose for a first conversation.
Audio only. Less pressure, lower bandwidth, and easier to dip into from a phone.
Typing first, speaking later if you want to. A gentler way in for a shy first session.
See who you are talking to. Grid video with a spotlight that pulls the current speaker to the front when a room gets busy.
Audio only, which is easier to join from a phone and easier to do while getting on with something else.
Typing only. Every room also carries chat and reactions, so you can take part before you feel like speaking.
Signal that you want to speak. Listeners stay muted until they choose otherwise, so a room full of people is not a room full of noise.
Show a document, a design, a game or a screen full of code. One person shares at a time, so nobody has to fight for the floor.
Rooms hold 20 participants and the host sets the limit when creating one. Small enough that you still get to speak.
A host can hold new arrivals at the door and let people in deliberately - useful for a private session or a moderated discussion.
Mute the room, allow or block unmuting, promote speakers, and keep a busy discussion moving without anybody talking over anybody.
Block a participant and they are out of your conversation. Session access is time-limited, so a join link cannot be hoarded and reused later.
Rooms are tied to an account so that blocking actually means something - a block that could be shrugged off by reloading the page would be worthless.
The room list shows what is open, with the room type and how many people are already in it. Nothing you like? Start a room on whatever you want to talk about.
You arrive muted. Listen, read the chat, raise your hand when you have something to say. Nothing obliges you to speak in the first minute.
Yes. Creating a room, joining one, voice and video, screen sharing and text chat all cost nothing. There is no download and no card required - rooms run in the browser.
Up to 20, and the host chooses the limit when they create the room. Voice and video run peer-to-peer between participants, which keeps latency low but is also why rooms are deliberately capped at this size rather than run as huge broadcasts.
Yes. Pick a name, choose video, voice or text, set the participant limit and the room is live immediately - then share the link. Your room, your topic, your rules on who gets in.
No. Every room has chat and reactions, so you can join, read, and get a feel for it before you unmute. Raising your hand is the polite way to ask for the floor when a room is busy.
Moderation is built into the room rather than bolted on: a host can hold people in a waiting room, mute the room and remove a participant, and any participant can block someone they do not want to hear from again. See our safety page for how blocking and reporting work.
Ones that give a stranger something specific to answer. Culture, work, travel, food and language all work; our conversation starter library has prompts written for exactly this, so a room never has to stall at "so, where are you from?".
Free, in the browser, up to 20 people, and you can start your own in under a minute.
