Creating your account

How signing up works, why there is no password, and what you are asked for.

Creating your account

You need a phone number and a minute. There is no password to invent or remember.

How sign-in works

Tubaar uses a one-time code instead of a password. Enter your phone number, we text you a short code, you type it back. Every sign-in works the same way.

The phone number on the account is your way back in. If you're changing numbers, do it while you can still receive codes on the old one. If a code doesn't arrive, see I didn't get my sign-in code.

What you're asked for

  • Your name — what people see. It doesn't have to be your legal name.
  • A handle — your @name on videos and Echoes.
  • Your birthday — enter it accurately so Tubaar can check whether you meet the minimum age to register. The minimum is 16; higher local age requirements still apply.
  • A photo — optional at signup, recommended before you post.

Everything except your birthday can be changed later.

After signing up

  1. Follow a few creators and join a Scene — Following and your Scene feeds start there.
  2. Allow notifications, or you'll only find out about Echoes and replies by opening the app. See I'm not getting notifications.

Age and conduct

You must be at least 16 to create a Tubaar account, or older where local law requires it. What is and isn't allowed is in the Community Guidelines; the Terms of Service cover the rest.
