Make a video call from a computer
Snapchat for Web supports calls and video chats. Open a friend’s name in the Chat feed, then select the video-camera icon to start a video call. Snapchat’s support instructions identify Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari as supported browsers. Use a current browser and keep the Snapchat app current as well. Snapchat for Web calling instructions cover the feature.
Check camera and microphone access
- Allow Snapchat for Web to use your camera and microphone when your browser asks.
- Check that the call is not muted and that your device volume is on.
- If the wrong camera or microphone is active, switch the source during the call if the controls are available.
- If you are diagnosing a problem, disconnect Bluetooth audio devices or other cameras temporarily and test again.
A built-in webcam and microphone may be enough; a separate camera is optional, not a requirement established by Snapchat’s setup guidance.
