Watch first
Everyone shows up as themselves in a 30–60 second introduction. No binary judgment from a two-second swipe.

Meet people.
Not profiles.
Watch a real introduction. Add someone to your Roster when you want to get to know them. Open a conversation when you are ready.

Dating, without the shopping
Curiosity is a better
starting point.
Build your Roster
Add people you would genuinely like to know. Your choices stay yours. Releasing someone never sends a rejection.
Make time to meet
Open a chat when you are ready, take a 30-second Spark Meet, and privately decide if you want to keep talking.

Before you
introduce yourself.
Is Vid8 free?
Yes. Discovery, your Roster, chat, and two Spark Meets each week are free. Vid8+ is optional if you want more room to connect.
What is a Roster?
A private list of people you would like to know. Adding someone never notifies them. Releasing them never sends a rejection.
What is a Spark Meet?
A live 30-second video introduction that the server ends on time. Afterward you each vote privately. Only two yes votes continue the conversation.
Do I need the app?
The dating experience lives in the Vid8 app. This website is for creating your account, managing billing, and reading our policies.
Who can join?
Adults 18 and over. We ask for a date of birth at sign-up and review introduction videos before they appear in discovery.
