Text chat in a game lobby only goes so far. Sometimes you want to see who you're talking to, laugh about that ridiculous last round and swap recommendations properly. Video chat is a great way to meet other gamers, whether you're looking for a teammate, a rival or just someone who gets why you've sunk 300 hours into one game.
Here's how to find gamers on video chat and keep the conversation going, with Kiss Live Chat as the example.
Start in the Gaming community
Kiss Live Chat has a Gaming community, one of several interest-based Communities alongside Travel, Music, Pets and Languages. Starting there means everyone you meet already shares your hobby. See our Kiss Live Chat Communities guide for how Communities work.
Use filters to narrow it down
- Interest tags: add gaming-related interests to your profile and look for people who list them too.
- Language filter: talk strategy in a language you're both comfortable with, from English and Spanish to French and German.
- Country filter: handy if you want teammates in a similar time zone.
Then browse who's online in the For You and New lists and start a 1-on-1 video call. The first 60 seconds of every new call are free, which is plenty of time to ask "So, what are you playing right now?"
Openers every gamer will answer
| Question | Why it works |
|---|---|
| "What are you playing right now?" | Easy, current and always has an answer |
| "What game do you always go back to?" | Reveals favorites and nostalgia |
| "PC, console or mobile?" | Friendly debate starter |
| "Best soundtrack in a game, go." | Fun crossover with music fans |
| "Any underrated game I should try?" | Leads to recommendations both ways |
Hang out in Live Rooms and Games
Not every gaming chat has to be 1-on-1. Live Rooms let you watch hosts and chat with other viewers, and the in-app Games on Kiss Live Chat are a quick way to break the ice. Read more in our Kiss Live Chat Games guide and Live Rooms guide.
Keep your gaming friends
Found someone who plays the same games? Follow them so they show up in your Follow list, and send a message in Chats before your next session. Our guide on staying in touch after a video chat has more ideas. Teammates from other countries are easy to keep up with too, since Kiss also offers real-time translation.
Final thoughts
Gamers are some of the easiest people to talk to: everyone has a favorite, a horror story and a recommendation. Join the Gaming community, ask what they're playing and let the conversation level up from there.
