How to stay safe talking to strangers

A practical guide to ending, blocking, and reporting a video chat.

Talking to a stranger on video is different from a text chat. You are visible, and the other person is too. Koko Meet does not record the call, but the other person can still see and hear whatever you share live.

Keep identifying details off the call

Skip your full name, phone number, address, and the accounts you use elsewhere. A first name is already on the profile from Google. You do not need to add more.

Use the controls you already have

Mute and camera-off are immediate. Next is how you leave one person and look for another. Block is how you avoid that person later. Report is how a moderator sees that a call broke the guidelines.

If someone asks you to move to another app, you can refuse and end the call. You do not owe a stranger a longer conversation.
