Video chat
We love a good *message received* notification. But we know it’s hard to tell whether or not your chats are going to be as good in person—that's where video and audio calls come in.
Check your chemistry with video chat
Video chats and audio calls can help you get to know each other and decide if you want to take things off the app.
The best part? When you make a call via Bumble, you don’t have to exchange phone numbers—so your personal information stays safe until you're ready to share.
How to video chat
Ready to start a conversation? You can choose whether to start an audio call or a video call right from your chat in the Bumble app.
To start a video call, tap the gray video camera icon in the top right corner. See the three dots next to the video camera icon? Tap this and you'll see the option to audio call, too.
