How do I start a video chat?

Starting a video chat takes about a minute. Here is exactly what to do.

  1. Open Joi 1v1 and tap Start (or the camera button).
  2. When your browser asks, allow access to your camera and microphone — this is what lets the other person see and hear you.
  3. Wait a moment while we pair you with someone who is online and ready to talk.
  4. Say hi. When you are ready to meet someone else, tap next to move to a new match.

If nothing happens when you tap start

  • Make sure you allowed camera and microphone access when prompted.
  • Check that no other app is currently using your camera.
  • If your camera or mic still will not turn on, see the camera and microphone troubleshooting article.
