Random video chat, in one click

How random video chat works

When you press Start, you join a short queue of people who are also looking for someone to talk to. As soon as two people are free, they're matched at random and placed in a private one-on-one video call. Nobody else can join that call, and when either of you presses Next the call ends and you both go back to looking for someone new.

There are no profiles, swiping or followers. You don't know who you'll get, and that's the point: every chat is a little surprise.

What you need

• A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone.
• An up-to-date browser — Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox all work.
• A reasonably stable internet connection. Wi-Fi or 4G/5G is fine.

Tips for better video quality

1. Face a light source. A window or lamp in front of you makes a huge difference. Avoid having a bright window behind you.
2. Use headphones if you can. They stop echo and make your voice clearer for the other person.
3. Hold your phone steady. Lean it against something at eye level instead of holding it.
4. Close other video apps. Only one app can use your camera at a time.

Your privacy

OmegleTV doesn't record calls. Video and audio travel live between you and the other person through our video provider and are encrypted in transit, as all browser video calls are. You can mute your microphone or turn your camera off at any moment with the buttons at the bottom of the screen, and the camera switches off completely as soon as you press Stop.
