Video call date ideas
Most video calls are just two people staring at a screen, running out of things to say after ten minutes. The fix isn't a better conversation topic — it's giving yourselves something to actually do together while you talk.
💡 One easy way: open a call where you both draw on a shared, split canvas live while you talk — no download, no sign-up. See how it works →
Do something together, not just talk
- Draw together live — one shared canvas, split in half, each of you doodling on your own side while you video chat. Great for long-distance couples, catching up with a friend, or just killing time creatively.
- Cook the same meal — pick a simple recipe beforehand, cook "together" on camera, then eat at the same time.
- Watch something in sync — start the same show/movie at the same moment and react live.
- Play a simple game — 20 questions, would-you-rather, or a trivia quiz one of you reads out loud.
For long-distance couples specifically
- A "getting ready together" call — coffee/breakfast on camera before your separate days start.
- Take turns picking a song and explaining why it reminds you of the other person.
- A slow, no-agenda call with a drawing canvas open — plan a future trip together on it, or just doodle nonsense.
For catching up with an old friend
- Show each other your surroundings — a proper "tour" of wherever you are now.
- Go through old photos together and narrate the memories.
- Sketch what the other person describes, live, and compare how wrong you got it.
Try the shared-canvas idea yourself — start a free video call with a live drawing canvas split between you two.
