Chat Rooms
FAQ
common questions
Are messages stored on the server?
No. The server only delivers messages to online participants. When everyone leaves, the channel is deleted.
Do I need an account?
No. You only need a nickname, room name, and password. The nickname is saved in browser localStorage.
Is E2E encryption fully secure?
Text messages use AES-GCM with a key from the room password. Security depends on password strength and who you share it with. The server never sees plaintext.
How many rooms can I create?
Up to 5 active channels you created per IP address, plus a limit of 3 creation attempts per minute.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On narrow screens chat opens in fullscreen automatically. You can also install the PWA.
Is chat moderated?
No. Messages go directly between room participants. Nobody reads, approves, or filters them on the server. Users are responsible for content.
Do messages end up in server logs?
No. WebSocket does not log message content. The server is an encrypted relay. Production logs should not contain nicknames, passwords, or chat content.
What is Picture-in-Picture?
In supported browsers (Chrome, Edge) you can open chat in a small floating window via the PiP icon in the dock header.
Can I send photos?
Yes. Photos are compressed to JPEG in the browser and stored locally. They are not saved on the server disk.
What if I forget the room password?
Without the password you cannot rejoin or decrypt old E2E messages. Ask the room owner for a new invite link with password.
