OmeTV Rules and Regulations — Safe and Fun Live Video Chat

OmeTV provides a live video chat platform where you can meet new people, talk to strangers, and exchange text messages in real time.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, we have established a set of simple chat rules. Our moderators monitor compliance with these rules and ban violators to maintain a respectful and secure environment.

By using our anonymous video chat service, you agree to these rules. If you cannot comply, we kindly ask you to stop using the platform.

1. Promote a respectful environment. It is forbidden to:

Use obscene language.
Insult others or behave rudely towards them.
Show gestures widely regarded as obscene (e.g., the middle finger).
Perform any discriminatory actions against others based on race, religion, nationality, gender, age, appearance, etc.
Threaten interlocutors in any form.

2. Avoid any obscene behavior. It is forbidden to:

Appear naked or in underwear.
Expose a naked torso while hiding the face.
Point the camera towards body parts below the chest (including the belly, crotch, legs, toes, etc.), even if they are covered with clothes or belong to another person.
Expose any intimate body parts.
Aim the camera at the lips, make any tongue gestures, or lick the lips.
Touch any intimate body parts, regardless of clothing or object covering them.
Propose "virtual sex" to people you're chatting with.
Send emojis (smiles) or combinations of emojis that may imply sexual meaning due to the context or common interpretation (an eggplant and water drops, etc.).
Use words or expressions that are affiliated with sexually provocative slang or may imply an obscene meaning (for example, "cock,” "pussy,” etc.).
Propose interlocutors to undress or reveal any intimate body parts or body parts below the chest.
Make gestures or take actions that may be considered obscene or contain direct or indirect offers with sexual or provocative meanings.

3. Do not display unrelated or altered images. It is forbidden to:

Direct the camera towards a TV, computer, phone, tablet, car display, or any other device screen, regardless of the displayed image.
Direct the camera towards any photos, illustrations, or drawings irrespective of the depicted image.
Direct the camera at any printed, handwritten, or other text signs, regardless of their meaning.
Use the webcam emulators or any other means to alter, distort, or replace your live video stream, including software filters, visual effects, software masks, and virtual avatars.

4. Any form of advertising or spam is strictly prohibited. It is forbidden to:

Display images or send messages with promotional content.
Send any links, including those to videos or social profiles.
Send bulk messages or the same message to multiple users.
Ask interlocutors to perform any online actions (to like, subscribe, participate in a poll or vote, visit a website, etc.).

5. Reporting Violations

Like any other participant, you can report violations against your interlocutor. Along with the complaint, our moderators receive a screenshot of the interlocutor's video and any message they've sent along with the complaint. Every report is scrutinized for potential rule violations and a moderator decides if the interlocutor should be banned from live video chat. Moderators monitor users' complaints 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
Our system automatically bans users who receive multiple complaints in a short duration. It helps identify violations that are otherwise difficult to detect. The system considers numerous factors that exclude accidental or unjustified bans.
By using our service, you agree to our current reporting procedure. Please remember that other users may also send complaints against you, which may lead to an automatic ban.
If someone breaks the rules of live video chat or behaves offensively towards you, respond by reporting them, not by reciprocating their offensive behavior. Doing so will only make you a violator too, leading to a possible ban.

6. Age restrictions

Our service can only be used by adults as per their country's legal age.
Minors are strictly prohibited from using our service, even with parental or guardian consent or supervision.
If you encounter a minor in the anonymous video chat, please send a complaint to our moderators for immediate action.

7. Do not modify the service's operations. It is forbidden to:

Employ software from external sources (including programs, add-ons, plugins, bots, scripts, etc.) to modify how the service functions.
Utilize software that could harm the user, compromise their personal data security, or infringe upon their rights in any manner.

Our Recommendations

We believe the ideal user of our anonymous chat is polite, friendly, and respectful. This ideal forms the basis of our moderation approach.

The following guidelines will help you have an enjoyable experience and prevent uncomfortable situations while meeting new people in live video chat.

Keep your face visible. Our users want to see who they are talking to. Do not cover your face, and ensure it's visible in the camera frame. If you are uncomfortable showing your face, you may want to consider switching to other anonymous video chat platforms that have the option for chatting without video. Hiding your face while seeing others isn't fair to your chat partners.

Turn on the light. Clear visibility is crucial in our live video chat. To ensure a comfortable experience, we recommend chatting in a well-lit environment. Please take a moment to adjust your camera for the best lighting and angle before initiating the chat.

Appear well dressed. In the live video chat, consider it like a public gathering where you meet new people. So being appropriately dressed for the video chat is essential. Avoid removing your shirt or being in your underwear, even in hot conditions. Dressing improperly can result in a ban.

Pay attention to what is caught on camera. Depending on the device, you can switch between front and rear cameras. Avoid displaying forbidden objects or scenarios on either camera. Ensure everything within the camera's view complies with the rules, especially before switching to the rear camera. Refrain from overusing the rear camera or showcasing your surroundings, as this can unintentionally violate the rules. Try to keep the focus on you during the chat.

No 'second-hand' streaming. Avoid aiming the camera at a TV, PC, laptop, or any other device screen — even if you think something exciting is going on there. Let people watch TV or videos on their own terms, just not through our video chat.

No video game streaming. The rule against streaming extends to video games as well. Our users can find numerous platforms for streaming games. Our service is designed only for face-to-face communication, not for watching or streaming video games.

Do not use the video chat in lavatories or bathrooms. Such personal spaces may give rise to misinterpretations of your actions. Remember, complaints can also be filed against you, potentially leading to an automatic ban.

An unintentional violation is still a violation. Whether a violation is accidental or deliberate is not always distinguishable. Thus our moderators respond to the act of violation rather than the user's intention.

Brief violation can still lead to bans. The severity of a violation doesn't depend on its duration. Regardless of whether it lasts a second or several minutes, always be cautious to avoid violations while using live video chat.

Ensure your camera is functioning. A defective or disabled camera hinders the chat experience. Refrain from using the video chat if your camera isn't working properly.

Never 'lend' your device to others when using the video chat. Don't let anyone use the video chat on your device without your consent or if you are unsure if they are familiar with the chat rules. You are the only one held responsible for the content transmitted from your device in the video chat. Any violation caused by your friend, a relative, or anyone else on your device is considered your own.

Think before you act. If your interlocutor asks you to do something or awaits a specific action or response from you, please think if this will contradict the rules. It is in your best interest to withhold any provoked action that may lead to a ban.

Disconnect when you're stepping away. Do not leave the video chat in a connected state if you need to step out, even for a brief moment. Don't leave your interlocutor staring at the ceiling or empty walls. Disconnect before you get busy with something else.

Do not respond with the same misconduct. Report rule violators promptly using our advanced reporting system, but never respond with the same offence. Every reported case is reviewed individually without tracing back to the reasons. Thus, you could be held responsible and potentially banned for any inappropriate response.

Mind your privacy. Be mindful not to share personal, sensitive, or private data unless you understand and accept the potential risks and are willing to bear full responsibility for any resulting consequences. Always be cautious when agreeing to meet someone in person whom you've only interacted with through anonymous video chat.

Policy Changes and Revisions

We reserve the right to change, revise, or modify any part of these rules at any given time without prior notification. It's your responsibility to keep up with the changes by regularly checking the rules. Familiarize yourself with the rules before using our service. By starting the video chat, you agree to the changes made.
