[header] How to use chatroulette [title] Get the right equipment. [step] Chatroulette is a video-based chat service, so you won't be able to get much use out of it without the right gear and accessories. Make sure that your computer has a working webcam, that the latest version of flash is installed on your computer, and that your speakers are working. 
[substeps] If you'd like to talk, make sure your microphone is working, as well. This isn't essential, as text chat is also possible.
