About ClearChat

ClearChat is a free, no-fuss way to talk to one other person — voice, video, screen sharing and messages — straight from your browser to theirs.

No accounts, no apps, no middleman

There's nothing to download and nothing to sign up for. You open a call, share a link, and the other person taps it. That's it.

A direct line between two browsers

ClearChat uses WebRTC to open a peer-to-peer connection. Your voice, video, shared screen and messages travel directly from your device to the other person's — they don't pass through, and aren't stored on, a server in the middle.

A small signaling relay helps the two browsers find each other at the start (it carries only the brief "handshake," never your call), and then steps out of the way. Everything you say is end-to-end encrypted between the two devices.

Your contacts stay on your device

When you save a call, the link, label and call history are kept in your browser only — never uploaded to us. Clearing your browser data removes them.

Honest about the limits

• Both people need to be online at the same time — there's no server holding a call open or "ringing" someone.
• It needs a modern browser and a secure (https) connection.
• Call quality depends on your networks; some restrictive networks may block a direct connection.
• Because the connection is direct, the two of you exchange IP addresses (this is normal for peer-to-peer).

Where is the ClearChat login?

There isn't one. ClearChat has no accounts, usernames or passwords, so there is nothing to log in to and nothing to reset. Open clearchat.net, tap Start a call and send the link to the person you want to talk to. If you were sent a link, just open it and tap Join the call.

Not to be confused with…

This ClearChat is the browser-based calling service at clearchat.net. It isn't connected to other apps, games or "clear chat" commands that use a similar name.
