Omegle — Talk to Strangers
You don't need an app to use Omegle on your phone or tablet! The website works in your mobile browser.
Meet strangers and share your interests!
Omegle (oh`meg`ull) is a way to meet new friends. When you use Omegle, you are paired randomly with another person to talk one-on-one. Start with a hello and ask about music, hobbies or other interests you might share.
You chat without a public profile, but avoid sharing personal details. Direct video connections can reveal your IP address. Another user could record what you share. You can stop a chat at any time by pressing Stop and confirming. See our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines for more information about using Omegle. Users are responsible for their behavior while using the service.
YOU MUST BE 18 OR OLDER TO USE OMEGLE. See Omegle's Terms of Service for more information. Parental control protections that may assist parents are commercially available. Learn more at ConnectSafely's parental controls guide.
Keep it clean. Report inappropriate behavior.
Nudity and sexual content are not allowed. If that is what you are looking for, leave Omegle. Use Report during a chat if someone breaks the rules.

What is Omegle?
Omegle lets adults meet new people through free, one-on-one text and video chat. Choose a mode, get matched with another person online, and start with a simple hello. No profile, account or download is needed.
Looking for Ome TV or Omegle TV chat? Choose text chat for a conversation without a camera, or open video chat to talk face to face. Meet people with different perspectives, practise a language, or take a break with a casual conversation. When you are ready to move on, press Stop, confirm, then choose New.
Omegle TV: how random video chat works
Pick Text or Video
Choose a text-only chat or a face-to-face video chat. For video, your browser asks permission to use your camera and microphone.
Get matched with a stranger
Join the queue for your chosen mode. Matching considers language, approximate region and who is available; waiting times vary.
Say hi, or move on
Talk for as long as you like. For a new person, press Stop, confirm, then New — or just tap Esc three times.
Why people pick Omegle
Smooth, low-lag video chat
Video quality adapts to your connection. Camera and microphone controls let you choose what to share during a call.
Anonymous by default
Chat as “You” and “Stranger” without a public profile. Keep personal details private: the other person can still save what you share.
Text chat or cam chat
Prefer to leave your camera off? Choose text-only chat. Return to the home page whenever you want to change modes.
Works on phone and desktop
Random chat runs right in the browser on Android, iPhone, tablets, Windows and Mac. Nothing to download or install.
One-click reporting
Use Report during a chat to disconnect and submit a report. Reporting helps prevent repeat matches, but is not a permanent identity ban.
Ome TV conversations: meet someone new
Practise a language
Practise everyday conversation with people from different backgrounds. Ask what languages they speak and find a topic you both enjoy.
Meet people from other countries
Meet someone from a different place and hear about their day, culture or interests. Matches depend on who is online.
Beat boredom
A quick chat with a stranger is more interesting than scrolling. Choose New when you are ready for another conversation.
Talk freely and anonymously
Share ideas without building a public profile. You choose what to discuss and when to end the conversation.
Stay safe while you chat with strangers
Most people are here for a friendly conversation. A few simple habits keep it that way, and everyone must follow our Community Guidelines. Video may connect directly between devices, which can expose your IP address to your chat partner.
- Keep personal details to yourself: your full name, address, school, workplace, phone number and social media handles.
- Remember that people online are not always who they say they are.
- You are in control. Press Stop and confirm with Really? to end a chat, or press Esc twice.
- Never do anything on camera you would not want saved. The other person could record their screen.
- Never send money, gift cards or passwords to someone you met in a random chat.
- If someone makes you uncomfortable or breaks the rules, report them.
Frequently asked questions
What is Omegle?
Omegle is a browser-based service for adults to talk to strangers in one-on-one text or video chats. Choose a mode and join the queue to meet someone new.
Is Omegle free to use?
Yes. Text and video chat are free, with no subscription or credits required. Your usual internet or mobile data charges may apply.
How do I start a video chat?
Choose Video, confirm you are 18 or older and accept the policies, then allow camera and microphone access. Matching starts once your camera is ready; waiting times depend on who is online.
Can I talk to strangers without a camera?
Yes. Choose Text for a conversation without camera or microphone access. Return to the home page to change modes.
Do I need an account or an app?
No account, profile or download is needed. Use a modern browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Video requires a camera, microphone and a secure connection.
Is chat anonymous?
Your partner sees you as “Stranger”; you do not need to provide a name or email to chat. We use a random browser ID for matching and reports. Direct video connections can reveal your IP address to your partner. Avoid sharing identifying information.
Are conversations saved?
The application does not record video or audio, or save text messages to a server-side chat history. Messages stay visible in your current browser chat until you start a new chat, exit or reload. Other users can still record or copy what you share.
How are strangers matched?
You are matched with another waiting user in the same mode. Matching considers browser language, approximate region, recent partners and reports. Preferences relax as you wait, so matches are not limited to your region.
How do I move to the next stranger?
Press Stop, confirm with Really?, then press New. You can also press Esc three times. If the other person has already left, choose New to search again.
Who can use Omegle?
Omegle is for adults aged 18 and over. If someone appears to be under 18, use Report during the chat. Age confirmation is self-declared and does not verify identity.
What happens when I report a stranger?
Report disconnects the chat and submits a report. Accepted reports block that pair of browser IDs in the current server session and repeated reports influence matching. These measures cannot guarantee a permanent block of the same person.
Why is my camera not working?
Check your browser camera and microphone permissions, close other apps using the camera, and reload. Video needs HTTPS and working media devices. Network restrictions or a missing relay connection can also prevent a call; text chat is another option.
Ready to talk to someone new?
Choose Text or Video above, confirm you are 18 or older, and start a new conversation.
