Bideo Chat Guide: Messages, Requests, Groups and Sharing Videos
How chat works on Bideo — sending messages, message requests, group chats, sharing videos, unsending messages and blocking someone if needed.
Bideo has built-in chat so you can talk to friends, fans and fellow creators — and share videos without leaving the app.
Start a conversation
Open Chat and start a new conversation with another user. When you message someone new, your chat starts as a message request.
Message requests
- If someone new messages you, you'll see it as a request.
- Accept to keep chatting, or decline if you don't want to talk.
- This keeps your inbox under your control.
Group chats
- Create a group with a name, photo and description.
- Add members and choose group admins who can manage the group.
- Great for creator collaborations, fan clubs or friends.
Share videos in chat
Share any Bideo video or short directly into a chat — your friend can open and watch it in one tap.
Manage your messages
- Unsend a message you sent.
- Delete for me to remove a message only from your view.
- Unread messages show as a badge so you never miss a reply.
Stay safe in chat
- Block anyone who makes you uncomfortable — they won't be able to keep messaging you.
- Report their videos or posts if they break the rules, or contact Bideo through the Contact page.
- Never share passwords, OTPs or bank details in chat — Bideo staff will never ask for them.
- Be careful with strangers offering money, followers or "verification".
