What this app does
ZAKU Live — Random Video Chat is a freemium social app that connects you with people worldwide via video or text. It supports users who prefer turning their camera on as well as those who want to remain off-camera. You can meet strangers, start conversations, and build new connections in a casual, discovery-driven environment.
Matching and gender filters
Matching with both men and women is available at no charge. If you want to limit matches to a single gender, however, the app requires spending a Match Card to apply that filter. Matching in the general pool remains free for everyone.
Text chat and virtual currency
Although the app offers free matching, text-based messaging is gated behind an in-app currency. Coins are sold in the Coin Store and are required for sending messages. This paywall makes basic texting a paid feature in the freemium model.
Translation and communication tools
Messages sent in languages other than your own are translated automatically in real time, which helps users converse across language barriers. Both camera and non-camera users can take advantage of these built-in translation features to keep conversations flowing.
Account options and profile editing
You can use ZAKU Live as a guest without registering, and guest accounts can still match and chat. Guest users who wish to edit their profile must sign in or register; copying a user ID and password is possible for guests, but profile changes are restricted until they create a full account.
Safety features and moderation
The app includes tools to block and report other users, providing options to manage unwanted interactions and help maintain a safer community. These moderation features are available to all users and are designed to reduce harassment and misuse.
