“If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a
million,” said Catherine Connelly, Vice President of Brand Strategy
at The Meet Group. “Long our top requested feature, one-on-one live
video provides the opportunity to get to know someone safely
without exchanging phone numbers. One-on-one video adds yet another
tool in our safe meeting toolkit, something we encourage all our
members to do before they consider meeting in a safe place. What’s
more, short of meeting in real life, nothing provides a better
sense of who a person is and whether or not there is chemistry than
a one-on-one video chat.”
By simply tapping the video chat icon on the MeetMe app, members
can initiate video chat requests to those with whom they have
previously exchanged messages. Members can only receive video chat
requests from people they have already communicated with.
Recipients have the option to accept or decline any incoming video
chat request, and they may also choose to block or report abusive
users through our one-tap report abuse feature.
“Having launched industry-leading Report Abuse buttons just last
week, we are thrilled to activate yet another feature aimed at
helping users stay safe while meeting new people on our platform,”
continued Connelly. “With roughly 50% of our daily active users on
MeetMe engaging in one-on-one chats without visiting our broadcast
video feature, we believe one-on-one video chat has the potential
to introduce more users to our interactive video platform to make
meaningful connections. We look forward to expanding one-on-one
video chat to our Skout and Tagged apps in the coming months.”
