Fachat app: the version that runs in your browser

No. Fachat works without anything from an app store. The video chat on fachat.cam opens in your browser like any other page and starts working the moment it has finished loading. If you like having an icon to tap, the site can be pinned to your home screen and used the way you would use an app.

That is a deliberate choice. A browser can already ask for your camera, carry live video both ways and fill the screen with the person you are talking to. Going through a store first would add a wait, an update cycle and a slice of your storage, with nothing gained on the call itself.

On a phone you may see a "Get Fachat App" prompt near the bottom of the page. It is the same thing this page describes: a shortcut that puts Fachat on your home screen. Accept it or follow the manual steps below; the result is identical.

Use the "Add to Home Screen" entry in your browser's menu. You end up with an icon, a full-screen window and no address bar, all for a few taps.

The frame around it, not the product. The same people, the same match button and the same Who's online list are behind the icon as behind the web address.

Yes. On a laptop or desktop you simply visit the site. Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox all work as long as they are reasonably current. A built-in webcam is fine; an external one is better if yours sits low and looks up your nose.

The bigger screen helps. The other person appears large, your own preview sits beside or below them, and typing in the message box is easier on a real keyboard. If you would like a window of its own, Chrome and Edge can "install" the page from the address bar, which is the desktop version of the home-screen shortcut.

Wondering how this compares with a program you install? The home page has a side-by-side table of the browser version against a typical installed app, so this page sticks to the setup.

Camera and microphone, and only when you start a call. The browser shows its own prompt and remembers your answer for fachat.cam. You can change that answer whenever you like: tap the padlock (or the settings icon) beside the web address.

A call needs nothing beyond those two. Anything you choose to add yourself, such as a profile photo, is uploaded only when you pick it. If the browser ever asks whether fachat.cam may send notifications, that is also your call, and the same site-settings menu turns them off again. The is Fachat safe page goes through what the site holds and why.

No. fachat.cam does not publish APK files, and a file from somewhere else cannot change anything on fachat.cam, because the service runs on our servers and not in a file on your phone. Pages offering "unlocked" versions or coin generators are after something else, usually your sign-in details or far more access than a video call needs.

If your goal is simply to talk to someone face to face, the browser route is both the quickest and the least risky. Start from the home page or read how Fachat works first; the practical side of a call is on the Fachat video chat page, and what is free is on the Fachat free page.
