Free random video chat with strangers

Press start, allow your camera, and you are talking to someone new in seconds. No download. Skip to the next person whenever you like.

Loading the chat

18+ only. Your camera is only switched on after you allow it. Contains affiliate links.

How it works

Step 1

Allow your camera

Your browser asks permission the first time. Nothing is transmitted before you say yes, and you can revoke it at any point from the address bar.

Step 2

Get matched at random

You are connected to whoever is next — no profiles to browse, no picking. That unpredictability is the point.

Step 3

Talk, or skip

One-to-one video, both ways. If it is not going anywhere, move to the next person immediately — there is no penalty for skipping.

What it costs

Starting is free. Beyond the free trial there are paid features, and the app shows you the price before it charges anything.

Paid

Beyond the trial

What it costs

Staying safe

Random video chat puts you on camera with someone you do not know. A few habits cover almost every problem.

  • Check what is visible behind you before you start — documents, post, house numbers.
  • Never share your real name, address, workplace or social handles.
  • Never send money, gift cards or crypto to anyone you meet. No exceptions.
  • Assume you could be recorded, and behave accordingly.
  • Skip immediately if someone pressures you, and report them.

Frequently asked questions

Is random video chat free?

You can start chatting free — the trial runs in your browser with no payment details. Some features are paid once the trial is used up. What those cost is set by the app, and is shown to you inside it before you are charged anything.

Do I need to register or download anything?

No download. The chat runs in your browser on desktop and mobile. You can start without creating an account; registering only becomes relevant if you want to keep a profile or continue past the free trial.

Do I need a webcam?

Yes. This is two-way video chat, so the other person sees you as you see them. Your browser will ask permission to use your camera and microphone, and nothing is shared until you allow it.

Who will I be matched with?

Whoever is next. Matching is random — that is the whole idea. You do not pick, and neither do they, which is what makes the conversations unpredictable. If a match is not for you, skip and the next one is a second away.

Is it anonymous?

You are not asked for your real name to start, and chats are one-to-one rather than broadcast. That said, the other person can see and hear you on camera, so treat it as you would any video call with someone you do not know. Never share personal details, and never move money off-platform.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes. The chat is for adults aged 18 or over, and the app verifies age before you can use it. This website is likewise intended only for visitors who are 18 or older.
