When a Firefox Hello user sends you an invitation, you can respond from any WebRTC-supported browser like Firefox, Chrome or Opera without creating an account.

There are two types of invitations, depending on the version of Firefox your conversation partner is using. Follow the appropriate instructions to connect with your partner in no time!

  3. When your friend accepts the call, you'll be able to see and hear each other.
  4. Use the privacy controls webrtc privacy to turn off your camera or mute your microphone as needed.
