Tips to Look Presentable when Video-Chatting

Are you new to video chatting? Here are some tips from expert photographers to make you look good on webcam:

1. Look good if you want to feel good. Put on some makeup and fix your hair.
2. Sit up straight. Don't couch! It makes you look lazy and not interested.
3. Use some nice lighting. A simple desk lap right over your lens does the job. Facing a window would give your face a nice glow, too.
4. Your lens should be at about the same height as your hairline. That is the best place for it.
5. Don't seat close to the lens. Wide-angled lenses enlarge the images they capture.
6. Stay in the centre. This way, the other person can easily recognise your face.
7. Look at the lens when talking. People tend to look at their faces while talking on cam, but the lens is the eye of the person you are talking to. Stay sincere and look at your chatmate's eyes through the lens.
8. Don't forget to smile! Make an effort to look presentable.

These are just a few good tips to make you feel comfortable and prepared while on cam. 

Chatting in Shagle may be the site’s most attractive feature because basically, it is free. You just need your laptop or phone and an internet connection, and you can spend the entire day talking to hundreds of users without spending money. 

But going into details, Shagle's main communication feature, Chat Filters, include:

• Intro Message

You may opt to have one or none. If you want a good opener, compose your text in the box provided and then hit 'Save Settings.'

So, every time you transfer into a new Shagle video chat, your chatmate would see a preview about you.

• Gender

You can click on Male, Female, and/or Couple. Indeed, aside from solo users, some members come in pair and we were able to encounter a few when we tested the site.

• Tags

Pick among the tags: Fun, Flirt, Chat, Dating, Make Friends, Hookup, Flirting, Love, etc. The tags you choose are shown in your chatbox. 

Though Shagle would prefer that you meet strangers, it also allows you to chat with users who you are interested in.

So, to filter your matches further, choose among the tags again or even suggest a new tag.

• Face Filter

Turn on Face Filter if you want to blur your face when the other person’s face is not detected. 

• Face Connect

Turn on Face Connect if you want to connect only with users whose faces are detected.

When you are done making all the changes you want, don’t forget to click ‘Save Settings’. 

You will return to the main page and Shagle will scan its users again based on the new set of filters you just saved. After chatting for some time and you want to go to the next user, you can simply click the right arrow. 

There may be times when you might accidentally click next. If you're a premium user, no need to worry because you go back to your previous chat. If you're a free user, however, you have no other options but to proceed with the next chat.

Shagle assures that its members stay anonymous. It does not require you to put your name or address nor any description of yourself. 

Your face through your web camera is already your profile. If you do not want to show your face, you can put a virtual mask on. These masks may be found in the Chat filters.

To maintain your safety and anonymity, Shagle suspends accounts that do not follow the rules. These rules include:

1. Age Limit - You must be at least 18 years old to register on this website. 
2. Attitude - When you become a member, you should not be rude or offensive. You are also not allowed to say inappropriate things to the other members. 
3. Substances - The use of drugs and other prohibited substances while on the camera is strictly illegal. 
4. Violence - Violence and other harmful actions towards people or animals while on camera is also a violation. 
5. Fraud & Blackmailing - Blackmailing and scamming people are strictly against the rules. 

Should you experience an incident similar to any of the unlawful acts mentioned above, report the person immediately and Shagle shall take the necessary actions.

Video chatting and text messaging in Shagle is completely free. You can even access members from other countries without paying for anything.

But if you want more than the basic features, you can opt to subscribe to the weekly or monthly subscription. There are tons of things you can enjoy with a premium account (see table above). Also, note that the prices are offered in USD only.

Note that Shagle does not store payment information. All transactions are entrusted with a third-party processor called Segpay. Opening and cancelling your subscription goes through its terms and conditions.

If after availing the premium, you were not impressed with the services, you can cancel your subscription (any time). Just click on 'My Account' and then select 'Cancel Membership'.
