Despite the platform's best efforts, the very nature of its service made it vulnerable to a specific form of exploitation: "captures." On any video chat platform, a user's camera feed is data being streamed from their computer. With readily available screen recording software, someone on the other end of a chat could capture this stream. As a post on a stream-recording forum from 2015 notes, software like Replay Media Catcher was actively used in attempts to detect and capture streams from sites like Vichatter, highlighting how easy this process had become for those with basic technical knowledge.
