Video Chat
App video chat service requires a direct connection to be made between your device and the other user's Devise. To do this, it is necessary to make your IP address available to the other user's Devise, although it is not shown to the other user by App's interface. This is a necessary part of how any P2P video chat system functions. If you are not comfortable with this, use text mode instead.
