Random video chat with strangers

OmegleNet puts you face to face with a random stranger in one tap. It’s free, there’s no account to make, and it works in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer. If you don’t click with someone, press Skip and meet someone else.

How random video chat works

1. Confirm you’re 18 or older. Tick the box on the home page to accept the rules. You only do this once on each device.
2. Press Start video chat. Your browser asks for your camera and microphone. Nothing is shared until you’re connected to someone.
3. Meet a stranger. We connect you with a random person who is also looking for a video chat. If you added interests, we look for someone who shares one first.
4. Talk, skip or stop. Stay as long as you like, press Skip (F2) to meet someone new, or press Stop (Esc twice) to end the chat.

Features

• Free, with no sign-up. No email, no phone number, no profile.
• Interest matching. Add up to 10 interests, such as music, gaming or a language you’re learning, to meet people into the same things.
• Country and language filters. Prefer someone from a particular country, or someone who speaks your language. Filters are a preference, not a guarantee: if nobody fits, we find the closest match.
• Camera effects. Add a face sticker, a filter or a background before you connect. The stranger sees exactly what’s in your preview.
• Mute and camera off. Turn your microphone or camera off at any time during a chat.
• Text alongside video. Type messages while you talk, which helps when one of you is somewhere noisy.
• Keyboard shortcuts. F2 (or Alt+N) for the next stranger, F9 (or Alt+R) to report, Esc twice to stop.
• Works on weak connections. The picture adapts to your connection, and a badge tells you when the link is weak.

Private by design

• Your IP address stays hidden. Every video call goes through our own relay server, so the other person’s device never sees your IP address or rough location.
• We never record video or audio. Calls aren’t saved anywhere.
• Safety snapshots, not recordings. At random moments, a small still picture is checked by an automated system to catch nudity and abuse. Snapshots that aren’t flagged are deleted within 90 days. The full details are in the Privacy Policy.

Staying safe on camera

• Don’t show anything that identifies you: your face is fine, but not your school, workplace, street or documents.
• Don’t share your full name, phone number or social media with someone you just met.
• Skip anyone who makes you uncomfortable. You never have to explain.
• Report anyone who breaks the rules. Reports end the chat straight away and go to our moderators.
• Block someone if you never want to be matched with them again.
