How to convince a girl in video chat to turn on the camera and show herself?

I often encounter that in video chat girls do not want to turn on the camera, although they themselves demand that I was on the video. Recently I was chatting with one of them, it seemed to be a conversation, but when I persuaded her to show herself, she just laughed and said “later”. In the end never saw her and she just walked out. Maybe someone knows how to properly ask a girl to turn on the camera so that it does not look like pressure?

This is quite a common situation, and the main thing here is to create a comfortable atmosphere. Many girls are simply afraid that they will be recorded or judged for their appearance. So it's better not to insist, but to give her time to get used to socializing. I use videocamchat because there are less fakes and more people ready for open communication. You can start with the camera turned on yourself, talk casually, make jokes, create trust - and then the chance that the girl will also turn on the video, increases.

I think if a person doesn't want to turn the camera on, then they have a reason. You can try to talk longer to make her feel comfortable. And if she categorically refuses, then maybe she just doesn't want to show herself - then it's better to switch to someone who is ready for open video communication.
