Talk to strangers by voice or text

The full rules below are provided in English.

This is a summary. The complete documents are the Terms & Conditions, the Community Guidelines, the Privacy Policy and the Safety Center.

TalkLive connects you with a random person for a live, audio-only conversation. There's no sign-up - tap "Start," allow microphone access, and you'll be paired with someone automatically. Tap "Next" any time to end the current call and get matched with someone new, or "Hang Up" to leave entirely. You can optionally set a gender preference, a country, and interest tags from the settings menu to help find a better match.

• Use headphones to avoid echo/feedback for both you and your match.
• You can mute your mic at any time with the microphone button.
• Text chat is available alongside audio via the chat icon.
• If a call feels unsafe or inappropriate, tap "Report" - this immediately ends the call and blocks that person from being matched with you again.

TalkLive only works if people treat each other with basic respect. Please:

• Be kind. Treat the person on the other end the way you'd want to be treated.
• Keep conversations respectful - don't pressure others into topics, content, or behavior they haven't agreed to.
• Respect a "no" or a hang-up. If someone ends the call or asks you to stop, let it go.
• Keep every conversation appropriate for a general audience, and leave any conversation that is not.
• Use the Report button if something feels wrong. Reporting helps keep this usable for everyone.

The following will get you reported and banned, and may be referred to law enforcement where applicable:

• Sexual content, sexual harassment, or solicitation of any kind.
• Hate speech, slurs, or harassment based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality.
• Threats, intimidation, or incitement of violence.
• Any use of TalkLive by, or directed at, anyone under 18.
• Recording, screenshotting, or distributing audio from a call without the other person's consent.
• Spam, advertising, bots, scripts, or automated use of the service.
• Graphic, shocking or dangerous content: self-harm promotion, animal cruelty, or selling weapons, drugs or counterfeit goods.
• Malicious links, hacking, fake documents, or deliberately misleading content.
• Impersonation, scams, phishing, or attempts to collect personal information from other users.
• Any activity that is illegal in your jurisdiction.

Reports are taken seriously. If you're reported for prohibited conduct, the reporting user is permanently blocked from being matched with you again, and repeated or severe reports can result in your access to TalkLive being suspended or permanently banned, with no entitlement to a refund of any kind (TalkLive is free, but this applies to any future paid features). We reserve the right to ban any user, at any time, for any reason connected to abuse of the service or harm to other users, without prior notice. Attempting to evade a ban (new device, new network, new account signal) is itself a violation and may result in a permanent IP-level block.

Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old to use TalkLive. By using the service you represent that you meet this requirement.

Nature of the service. TalkLive provides random audio pairing between users. Conversations are not monitored live and we do not pre-screen who you will be matched with; we cannot verify any user's identity, age, or intentions, and are not responsible for the conduct, statements, or actions of any user. You use the service, and interact with other users through it, entirely at your own risk.

No warranty. TalkLive is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or error-free operation.

Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, TalkLive and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any conduct of any user, arising from your use of the service.

Acceptable use. You agree not to engage in any of the Prohibited Conduct listed above, and not to use the service for any unlawful purpose.

Termination. We may suspend or terminate your access to TalkLive at any time, with or without cause or notice, particularly in response to reports or violations of these terms.

Changes to these terms. We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of TalkLive after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which TalkLive operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

A basic match does not require an account, email, or phone number. Voice uses encrypted WebRTC through a production TURN relay and is not recorded or stored by TalkLive; automated safety checks run on your own microphone during calls (speech-to-text on desktop browsers only) and keep a short record only when abuse is detected. Typed messages, reports and related context are kept for delivery, safety and moderation: a moderation log holds the newest 5,000 messages across the site, and each direct-message conversation its newest 200. TalkLive also processes IP address, approximate location and operational information as described in the full Privacy Policy, Gender is what you choose in Settings and is used for gender filters. If you turn on the optional Voice check, your own device compares your voice with the gender you picked; no audio leaves your device and only the yes/no result is used, for “Voice-checked only” matching.
