Video chat from phone
WEBKA opens in the Android and iPhone mobile browser: you can log in as a guest, allow the camera and microphone and start a video call or enter the room. A separate application installation for this scenario is not required.
Below is a practical reminder: permissions, Android/iPhone differences, built-in social network browsers and what to do if the video does not load.
Is it possible to use WEBKA on a smartphone?
Yes. The interface adapts to a narrow screen. To make a video call, your phone needs the same permissions as a computer: a camera and a microphone. A stable Internet connection is desirable - on a weak connection the image may lag or go into worse quality mode.
The scenario is the same as on the desktop: guest or account → select a format → call, messages, room or broadcast. For one-on-one dating, see also chat roulette WEBKANone
Android
It is more convenient to open a website in Chrome. When you make your first call, confirm access to your camera and microphone. If you clicked “Block” earlier, go to Chrome website settings → Permissions and enable access again. Close applications that are already using the camera - otherwise WEBKA may receive a black screen or an access error.
iPhone
Use Safari or another browser that supports WebRTC. Camera and microphone resolutions are configured in system “Settings” → Safari (or selected browser) → Camera / Microphone. After changing permissions, refresh the WEBKA tab.
Camera access
- Open WEBKA and start the activity that needs video.
- In the system browser window, click "Allow".
- Make sure that the camera is not occupied by another application (Camera, Instagram, Zoom, etc.).
- If there is an error, refresh the page and request permissions again.
Microphone access
The microphone is requested together with the camera or separately - depending on the browser. If you can’t be heard, check: the microphone resolution for the site, silent mode is not always to blame, but a system block for the browser is a common reason. On iPhone, see microphone switch for Safari separately.
Built-in browsers and possible problems
The browser inside VK, Telegram and similar applications sometimes limits WebRTC. If the video doesn't open, click "Open in Browser"/copy the link in Chrome or Safari.
Also hindering: energy saving, VPN with an unstable channel, outdated OS version and simultaneous camera capture by another application. In rare cases, changing the Wi-Fi network ↔ mobile Internet helps.
What to do if you have problems with video
- Check site permissions.
- Close applications that use the camera.
- Switch from the in-app browser to the regular one.
- Refresh the page or restart your browser.
- Try a different network (Wi‑Fi ↔ mobile internet).

How to improve your connection
Keep your phone close to your router, close background downloads, and don't have multiple video apps running at once. If the channel is weak, it is better to end the heavy broadcast/conference and stay on the personal call. We do not promise “perfect quality always” - WebRTC depends on the network of both parties.
Частые вопросы
Do I need an app from the store?
For the described web scenario, a browser is sufficient.
Why doesn't the camera turn on in VK/Telegram?
The built-in browser may limit WebRTC. Open the site in your system browser.
Android or iPhone - is there a difference?
The scenario is the same, only the system permission screens are different.
Can a guest use a phone?
Yes, guest login is also available on mobile.
The call goes without a picture
Often this is a camera block. Check the camera's permissions and whether the camera is occupied by other applications.
Where can I read more about the product itself?
In the material “Online Video Chat WEBKA” and in the articles section.
