Welcome to Be My Eyes!

Be My Eyes is a support community millions strong, available globally day or night, and has volunteers answering calls in more than 185 languages.

Whenever you need a pair of sharp eyes, Be My Eyes is a simple, free tool that connects you with a global community of volunteers and company representatives who are ready at a moment’s notice to lend their eyesight for everyday tasks.

FREE. GLOBAL. UNLIMITED and AVAILABLE 24/7.

Sign up as a user to get free visual support with tasks like reading labels, matching clothes, troubleshooting technology, setting up home appliances, or any other simple task a volunteer can complete over live video. If a task is too complicated or requires expertise, call one of our company partners for on-demand video customer support via Specialized Help.

How it Works

1. Anyone 17 or older may sign up as a visually impaired user or volunteer.
2. Calls are connected based on daytime timezone and language. The average wait time is about 15 seconds.
3. When a call is answered, a live one-way video (two-way audio) is initiated, allowing volunteers or company representatives to see what’s in front of the user’s camera and provide verbal support. Note: Specialized Help availability varies by region and company opening hours.
