Level up your MonkeyChat experience with essential virtual etiquette that turns every meeting into a meaningful connection.
In a world where live video chats are redefining how
we meet new people, how you present yourself matters more than ever. Whether you're talking
to a new friend, sharing a laugh, or exploring common interests, great online etiquette
helps you stand out—in the best way possible.
Here's how to make every MonkeyChat conversation
smooth, respectful, and unforgettable.
🎯 Set the Scene: Create a Welcoming Background
🖼 Add Personality
A clean, well-lit space with a few personal touches
(like a plant, poster, or bookshelf) shows you care. It's a subtle way to express who you
are without saying a word.
🧹 Keep It Tidy
Hide laundry piles or messy desks. Bright
backlighting or visual clutter can distract your chat partner—keep the focus on you.
💡 Light It Right
Natural light is ideal, but a simple desk lamp works
wonders. Light your face from the front for clarity, warmth, and approachability.
👀 Be Present: Engage Like You Mean It
👁 Make Eye Contact (With the Camera)
Looking into the camera lens (instead of your screen)
helps simulate real eye contact and builds instant trust.
🙂 React and Respond
Smile, nod, laugh—let your reactions show. Avoid
checking your phone or switching tabs. If you do need to step away, a quick “Hang on one
sec” is fine—just don't make it a habit.
🎧 Mind the Mic
Use a clear microphone or headphones with a mic to
improve audio quality. Mute yourself when not speaking to avoid background noise—your chat
partners will appreciate it.
🪄 Use Filters & Effects—The Right Way
MonkeyChat includes fun features like face filters
and GIFs, but moderation is key.
✨ Light Touches Work
Use a soft lighting filter or subtle enhancements to
brighten your screen—especially on low-energy days.
🤖 Don't Overdo It
Avoid flashy animations or distracting filters. Keep
things authentic and let your personality shine.
🗣 Turn-Taking: Share the Spotlight
⏱ Pause Before Speaking
Video chats can have slight delays. Waiting a beat
helps avoid awkward interruptions.
🙋 Step Back Gracefully
If you and your chat partner start talking at the
same time, smile and let them finish. It shows respect—and makes you easier to talk to.
👋 End Conversations on a High Note
✅ Clear Sign-Offs
Say something like:
💌 Leave the Door Open
A warm goodbye invites future chats and leaves a
positive impression.
🌟 Keep Things Fresh: Avoid Awkward Silences
❄ Break the Ice
Try light questions like:
💬 Balance the Flow
Mix casual banter with slightly deeper topics:
❤️ Be Real
Excitement is contagious. When you talk about things
that genuinely interest you, your energy draws people in.
