Our Community Values
Seattle Video Chat is built on a foundation of respect, authenticity, and safety. These guidelines outline expected behavior and prohibited activities to ensure our platform remains a positive space for genuine connections. By using Seattle Video Chat, you agree to abide by these guidelines and our Terms of Service.
Expected Behavior
Be Respectful
Treat all users with courtesy and consideration. Everyone on the platform is here to connect and have positive experiences. Disagreements should be handled politely. Harassment, bullying, or disrespect of any kind is not tolerated.
Be Authentic
Use your real photos and represent yourself honestly. Misleading others with fake profiles, stolen images, or false information violates our community standards. Authenticity fosters trust and meaningful connections.
Be Considerate
Remember there's a real person on the other side of the screen. Be mindful of others' feelings, boundaries, and time. If someone isn't interested, respect their decision gracefully.
Report Concerns
Help keep our community safe by reporting behavior that violates these guidelines. Our moderation team reviews all reports promptly and takes appropriate action.
Prohibited Activities
Harassment & Bullying
Do not engage in targeted harassment, threats, intimidation, or hate speech. This includes offensive comments based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
Inappropriate Content
Do not share nudity or pornographic content. This applies to profile photos, video streams, and messages. Keep conversations respectful and appropriate for a general audience.
Impersonation
Do not pretend to be someone else. This includes using others' photos, claiming false credentials, or misrepresenting your identity in any way.
Spam & Commercial Activity
Avoid sending unsolicited promotional messages, links to external sites, or business solicitations. Our platform is for personal connections, not commercial advertising.
Fraud & Scams
Never ask for money, gift cards, or financial information from other users. Be wary of sob stories, investment opportunities, or any request for funds—these are likely scams. Report any such behavior immediately.
Privacy Violations
Do not share other users' private information without their consent (doxxing). This includes phone numbers, addresses, workplace details, or any personal data they haven't made public.
Recording & Screenshots
Recording or screenshotting video calls without clear permission from all participants is prohibited. Respect others' privacy—video chats are private conversations.

Do not use our platform for any illegal purpose. This includes but is not limited to solicitation of illegal services, distribution of illegal content, or planning unlawful acts.
Underage Users
Seattle Video Chat is only for users 18 years of age or older. If you suspect someone is under 18, report them immediately. We have zero tolerance for anyone attempting to contact minors.
Video Chat Specific Rules
Appropriate On-Camera Behavior
Maintain respectful, clothed appearance during video calls. Ensure your background is appropriate and free from inappropriate or offensive material. Avoid engaging in inappropriate behavior during video conversations.
Consent & Boundaries
