Is video chat 1-on-1?
Yes. Shagle video chat is private 1-on-1: you and one other person in a session, not a public room or a group. Nobody else joins. That is the format. Private describes the closed room type — it is not a promise that every conversation is risk-free, and it is not a claim that you are 100% anonymous.
Private video chatCan I use text chat?
Yes. Text chat is available when you want a lighter first step or you want the camera off at first. Private 1-on-1 video is still the main experience. Messaging is a starting path, not a separate product and not a paid-only mode we invented for this page.
Can I switch between text and video?
You can start with video or start with text. If you begin in text and both of you want to talk on camera, you can start a video chat. We do not invent a hidden in-call toggle beyond those two starting paths. Video stays the main format; text is the lighter open.
