You might know us as UK Chat Cam
Plenty of people type ukchat into a search bar. Others add a space, and a few still try ukchat co uk or ukchats. Every version lands here, on a site where the conversation happens face to face rather than in a wall of text.
A typical first visit goes something like this. You open the match screen on the sofa after work. The first person is busy, the second is a student who supports the wrong team, and the third turns into a forty-minute chat about whether a chippy tea counts as cooking. Where the name came from, and why the camera comes first, is covered on our about page.
How does chatting on camera work here?
You open the match screen, choose video, voice or text, and get paired with one person straight away. There is no registration, no profile to complete and no queue. If the chat is good, stay. If it is not, tap Next and someone new appears within seconds.
Open the match screen
Tap Start video chat. A guest profile is made for you, so there is no form to fill in. Your browser asks once for the camera and microphone; allow both and you are in.
Pick video, voice or text
Video is the default. If the lighting is rubbish or your flatmate is asleep next door, switch to voice or text at the bottom of the screen and carry on.
Chat, or tap Next
One person fills your screen. Stay while the conversation is going somewhere and tap Next the moment it is not. Had a good one? Follow her so you can message or call later.
If you would rather watch than talk at first, the Live tab is the gentler way in. And if your evening plans fall through at nine o’clock, the full guide to video chat in the UK covers light, sound and the first ten seconds of a call.
Live now
Watch someone live before you go one to one
Not ready to switch your own camera on? Open the Live tab and watch girls who are streaming right now. You can type comments that pop up on the stream, send a gift with coins when something makes you laugh, and if the two of you hit it off, ask for a one to one call straight from the stream.
It is a relaxed way to get used to the site: you hear how people talk, see the kind of faces you will meet, and decide when you are ready to be on screen yourself. Streaming is not open to regular profiles, so Live is for watching and joining in. When you want a conversation of your own, the match screen is one tap away.
Streams tend to be busiest in the evening, UK time. Drop in, read the comments for a minute to get the mood, then say something friendly; a simple hello with her name usually gets noticed faster than a gift.
UK chat rooms, run as clubs
Clubs are group chats that members start themselves. The topics below are the sort people set up; browse the Club hall to find one that suits you.
One to one video is the heart of UKChatCam, but some evenings you want a crowd rather than a single face. That is what clubs are for. Each club has a name, a picture and a short description, and inside it members chat as a group and share photos and short clips. Some clubs let anyone in with one tap, some ask the creator to approve you, and some only open to people who are invited. Joining or creating a club needs an account, and signing up is free.
If you get on with someone in a club, you can open her profile and move to a private chat or a call. Our guide to British chat rooms and how clubs work goes through joining, the house rules and starting a club of your own.
How clubs work
- Browse the Club hallEvery approved club is listed in one hall. Scroll, read the description, see what each one is about.
- Join instantly, ask, or get invitedSome clubs let you straight in. Others want the creator to approve you first, and some are invite only.
- Group chat with photos and clipsInside a club you chat as a group and can share pictures and short videos with the members.
- Start your own clubRegistered users can create one. It is reviewed first and opens in the hall once approved.
Do I have to be in the UK to join?
No. Anyone can join, and the match screen does not sort people by country, so you will not be stuck waiting for someone from your own town. On a weekday evening, UK time, a good share of the people online are British, and the rest are spread across dozens of other countries.
So the next face could just as easily be calling from the Philippines or Ecuador. About one user in five is based in the US; after that, the UK sits among the bigger groups alongside Germany, Canada and France. In practice that means a mix of accents, a fair bit of chat about the weather, and the odd person keen to practise their English. If you would rather type, the guide to online chat for UK evenings explains when the site is busiest in GMT and BST and how to pick between text, voice and camera. Weighing up other options too?

Free to start
What does it cost to chat?
Nothing to get going. New users get free matches the moment they arrive, and the Reward Centre keeps handing out more while you stay online. When the free ones run out, extra matches use coins bought on the site, and gifts in streams and calls use coins too.
A sensible way to begin: use your free matches on a weekday evening, claim from the Reward Centre whenever it is ready, and only think about coins once you know you enjoy it. If a chat is going nowhere, tap Next early rather than letting it drift; that is how regulars make their matches go further.

What is UKChatCam?
UKChatCam is a browser chat site built around one to one video. You are matched with someone new on camera in seconds, and you can switch to voice or text, watch girls streaming live, or join a club for group chat. It runs on phones and computers with nothing to install.
Is it ukchat or UKChatCam?
Both bring you to the same place, and so does the version with spaces. The site itself is UKChatCam, written as one word, and the address is ukchatcam.com.
How does the UK chat login work?
You do not have to. Opening the site gives you a guest profile, and you can start a match straight away. If you want to keep your follows, messages and coins across devices, you can register your profile later from inside the app.
Is there a UK chat lobby or a waiting room?
No. There is no lobby to sit in and no queue to join. Tap Start and the match screen looks for someone right away; most of the time the first face appears within a few seconds, especially in the evening UK time.
Is UKChatCam free?
It is free to start. New users get free matches, and the Reward Centre at the top of the match screen hands out more free matches to people who stay online, several times a day. When those run out, further matches use coins.
What are coins used for?
Coins cover extra matches once your free ones are used, and they are how you send gifts during a live stream or a call. You can buy them on the site, and VIP options are there for people who chat often.
Can I chat without the camera?
Yes. The match screen has video, voice and text modes. Voice is good when you look a state or the room is dark, and text works when someone is asleep nearby. You can go back to video whenever you like.
Can I start my own chat room?
Yes, as a club. Registered users can create a club with a name, picture and description. It is reviewed before it appears in the Club hall, and you choose whether people join instantly, ask first or need an invite.
Do I have to be in the UK?
No. Anyone can join and the match screen does not sort people by country. Lots of people online in the evening are British, and you will also meet people from further afield, which is half the fun.
Is there an app?
You do not need one from a store. Open ukchatcam.com on your phone and add it to your home screen: Share then Add to Home Screen in Safari, or the menu then Add to Home screen in Chrome. It opens in its own window like an app.
Can I watch someone live?
Yes. The Live tab lists girls who are streaming. You can watch, write comments, send gifts with coins, and ask for a one to one call from inside the stream if you get on.
Can I go live myself?
No. Streaming is not open to regular profiles. Live is for watching and joining in through comments and gifts; your own camera is used in one to one calls.
Which UK chat sites have video?
UKChatCam is built around video: you are matched one to one on camera in seconds, straight from your browser, with voice and text on the same screen. Most older UK chat sites are text rooms first; here the camera comes first, clubs add group chat, and it is free to start.
Where can I chat with people from the UK online?
On UKChatCam, especially in the evening UK time, when a good share of the people online are British. Open the site, tap Start and you are matched one to one on camera, or switch to voice or text. Clubs add group chat by topic, and the site is free to start.
Who will I meet?
Real people on camera, mostly girls, from the UK and many other countries. Every match is a fresh face, and you decide in the first few seconds whether to stay or tap Next.
What if someone is rude?
Tap Next and they are gone. If it was worse than rude, block them and report the profile from the app. In clubs the same applies, and breaking the house rules can get someone removed.
Can I talk to someone again after a good chat?
Follow her during or after the chat. Her profile then stays easy to find, and from there you can send a message or start a video call directly.
Do text messages get translated?
Text messages can be translated automatically when the two of you write in different languages. Voice and video calls are not translated, so a bit of patience and a smile go a long way.
