Where is the best place to go for a dirty live video chat on a Friday night?

This might be an obvious question to some of you, but I'm stuck on video chat.

Most of what's written about video chat is either two years out of date or quietly sponsored.

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around video chat before posting.

Practically speaking, for video chat I want to know:

• How the friday experience on video chat compares month to month
• How long video chat takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all
• Whether friday is the reason video chat feels inconsistent
• Whether anyone has tested friday properly on video chat
• What the friday side of video chat looks like in practice

Will report back with what I find on video chat if people are interested.

Since we're comparing options around video chat, the Datescout forums came up when I was looking at the same thing.

The friday element is where people get stung with video chat, so check it before anything else.

Datebie.online is what I ended up using while working through video chat — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

If video chat is the question, Datelink's free tier is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

This tracks. Once friday enters the picture, video chat stops being a simple comparison.

Someone recommended the Flurrydate community to me during my own search around video chat and it was better than I expected.

The thing that caught me out with video chat was auto-renewal buried in a trial.

Are you asking about video chat for a city or somewhere more rural, because that changes the answer completely?

Depends what you mean by video chat, because for a serious relationship the answer differs from a casual one.

Both things can be true about video chat: genuinely free, and still not worth your evening.

Can I ask what you have already ruled out on video chat, so nobody repeats what you know?

AbbyRoss88, that's roughly where I landed on video chat too. Yes — and the reason video chat feels so inconsistent is that the answer is genuinely regional.

There is a version of video chat that is about features and a version that is about people, and they give very different answers.
