• storing, at an online system, a plurality of profiles for a plurality of users of the online system, each of the plurality of profiles including declarative information about a user associated with the profile and user identifiers of one or more other users of the online system authorized to exchange video data with a receiving client device of the user associated with the profile;
• transmit, from the online system to the receiving client device, a request from a sending device of a sending user to exchange first video data captured by an image capture device of the sending device with the receiving client device, the request including information identifying the sending user associated with the first video data;
• receive, at the online system, an indication that a receiving user is included in second video data captured by an image capture device included in the receiving client device;
• receive at the online system, an indication that the sending user is included in the first video data captured by the image capture device included in the sending client device of the sending user;
• determining, by the online system, that the sending user is authorized to exchange the first video data with the receiving user responsive to a profile of the receiving user including a user identifier of the sending user;
• determining, by the online system, that the receiving user is authorized to exchange the second video data with the sending user responsive to a profile of the sending user including a user identifier of the receiving user;
• automatically establishing a connection between the online system, the receiving client device, and the sending client device for exchanging the first video data and the second video data without the receiving client device receiving an interaction from the receiving user requesting to establish the connection responsive to:
• (1) the online system determining that the sending user is authorized to exchange the first video data with the receiving user,
• (2) the online system determining that the receiving user is authorized to exchange the second video data with the sending user
