Talk to strangers online

Talking to a stranger is one of the oldest pleasures of the internet: a conversation with someone you’d never otherwise meet, from another city or another country, with no history and no expectations. OmegleNet makes it one tap away, for free, by video, voice or text.

How to talk to strangers on OmegleNet

1. Open the home page in any modern browser. There’s nothing to download and no account to create.
2. Confirm you’re 18 or older and accept the rules.
3. Pick how you want to talk: video, voice or text.
4. Add interests (optional). Up to 10 topics, so you’re matched with someone who shares one first.
5. Say hello. If the conversation isn’t going anywhere, press Skip and meet someone new.

Tips for a good conversation

• Open with a question, not just “hi”. “What are you up to tonight?” gets a lot further.
• Use your interests. When you share one, it’s shown at the top of the chat: start there.
• Be curious. Ask about where they are, what they do, what they’re into.
• Keep it light at first. Strangers warm up quickly when the conversation feels easy.
• It’s fine to skip. Not every chat clicks. Nobody takes it personally.
• Practise a language. Set a language filter and talk with native speakers.

Keep yourself safe

The person on the other side is a stranger, however friendly they seem. A few rules that are worth keeping on any site:

• Don’t share personal details: your full name, address, school, workplace, phone number or social media.
• Never send money or gift cards, and don’t click links from strangers.
• Don’t move the chat to another app just because someone asks.
• Be careful what your camera shows, including letters, documents or the view from your window.
• Leave whenever you want. You don’t owe anyone a conversation.
• Report and block. If someone breaks the rules, report them in one tap. Our moderators review every report.

OmegleNet also hides your IP address by relaying every call through our own server, never records audio or video, and checks video chats with random safety snapshots. Read how in safety and moderation.

Who you’ll meet

OmegleNet is for adults only: everyone must be 18 or older. People join from all over the world. Use the country and language filters if you’d rather meet someone nearby or someone who speaks your language. The service isn’t currently available in the United Kingdom or Australia.
