CHAT256

Private video calls over WebRTC

Move from a private conversation to a face-to-face call in the browser, without exchanging personal phone numbers.

Encrypted media transport

Chat256 video calls use the browser WebRTC stack to protect audio and video in transit between participants. Call setup and the media path are separate parts of the system.

Signalling and network traversal

Chat256 signalling coordinates call setup. ICE checks possible network paths, and TURN can relay encrypted media packets when a direct connection cannot be established. Network timing and call setup still create operational metadata.

You control the camera

Grant camera and microphone access only when you intend to call. Ending a call stops the active session; it cannot undo what a participant heard, recorded externally or saved.

Client-side encryption

WebRTC encrypts audio and video in transit. Call setup and network traversal still exchange operational information, and a TURN service may relay encrypted packets.

Separate storage lifecycle

Once media reaches a participant's device, Chat256 cannot prevent that person or a compromised device from recording it.

Built for practical privacy

Allow camera and microphone only for the trusted site, and use the browser indicator to confirm the active devices.
