Temporary Video Chat for Up to 4 Participants
Video chat on NyChat enables browser-based peer-to-peer video calls for up to 4 participants without accounts, passwords, or app installations. Video streams travel directly between browsers via WebRTC and are never recorded on NyChat servers.
High-fidelity face-to-face conversations.
Connect quickly with small groups for quick video catchups, pair programming, or interviews without demanding everyone register for Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams accounts.
Zero Software Downloads
Runs completely in your web browser. No desktop clients, plugins, or mobile app stores required. Tap to enable video and start talking.
In-Transit Encryption
All video and audio media packets are encrypted point-to-point using standard WebRTC DTLS-SRTP security protocols.
Focused 4-Peer Limit
Restricting video mesh to 4 participants ensures low CPU usage and reliable bandwidth on everyday devices.
