Travel-Ready Mobile Checklist for Random Video Chats

1. Audit your roaming or eSIM plan

Random video chat thrives on stable upload speeds. Check your carrier plan or roaming agreement—or activate an eSIM before departure. Aim for at least 5 Mbps upload in your destination. If you plan to hop between countries, purchase a regional bundle so the app does not pause mid-conversation.

Inside Settings → Network you can force Thundr Chat to connect to the nearest edge node. Toggle this once you land to keep latency low.

2. Refresh Safe Mode and device security

Traveling sometimes means shared Wi-Fi networks. Enable Safe Mode to keep camera previews blurred until sessions pass moderation and double-check that your device lock screen uses biometrics. We also recommend logging out of unused devices inside Support — Account & Billing.

Want extra privacy? Activate Ghost Mode so matches only see your display name and not your travel region.

3. Pack the right accessories

Slip a compact ring light and wired earbuds into your carry-on. Plan for long sessions by bringing a 20,000 mAh battery pack and charging cables that support fast charging. These small upgrades keep audio crisp and prevent your device from overheating during extended matches.

4. Use co-working or hotel Wi-Fi responsibly

Shared networks can throttle video. Ask for the 5 GHz SSID and avoid scheduling back-to-back sessions during known peak hours. If the connection becomes unstable, switch to audio-only mode until the bandwidth recovers.

Using a VPN? Choose a nearby endpoint so the app can still reach the closest Thundr Chat relay. Our full troubleshooting guide lives in Support — Technical issues.

5. Set boundaries before each session

Traveling can be tiring. Let matches know if you have limited time, mute background sounds, and keep personal itineraries private. Bookmark Safe Shortcuts on the control bar so you can skip, mute, or report without fumbling while on the move.
