# Talk to strangers!

[Start video chat](https://omegle.bz/video)

You'll be paired with a random stranger. Be kind. Press Esc to skip.

## Three steps to a new conversation

1. **1**### Hit start

   Allow your camera and mic when the browser asks. That's the whole setup.
2. **2**### Meet a stranger

   Omegle picks someone at random from the people waiting right now.
3. **3**### Stay or skip

   Stay as long as it's fun. Next or Esc finds someone new, Stop ends the chat.

## What is Omegle?

**Omegle is a free online chat where you talk to strangers on cam. Press start, allow your camera, and Omegle pairs you with a random person who's waiting too. No account, no profile, nothing to install.**

You never know who's next, and that's the fun of it. If the chat clicks, keep going. If not, press Esc and meet the next stranger. Curious about the backstory? Here's [what happened to the original Omegle](https://omegle.bz/blog/what-happened-to-omegle).

### Free video chat, right in your browser

Omegle web runs in any modern browser, on a laptop, a phone or a tablet. There's no app to download and nothing to pay. Open the page, hit [start a video chat](https://omegle.bz/video) and you're live.

A text box sits next to every video, for when the sound is bad or you'd rather type. One click mutes your mic. Camera not cooperating? The [Omegle web guide](https://omegle.bz/blog/omegle-web) covers every device.

### Anonymous chat with strangers

Omegle never asks for your name, email or phone number. Strangers see your camera and what you type, but not your IP address: voice and video go through our server, never straight to the other person.

Anonymous isn't invisible, though. We keep recordings for moderation for 30 days, and anyone can screen-record you. Read [how anonymous Omegle really is](https://omegle.bz/blog/anonymous-chat) and our [safety tips](https://omegle.bz/safety) before you go on cam.

### Looking for chat rooms?

Omegle was never a chat room. There's no lobby with fifty people typing over each other. Every chat is one on one: you and one random stranger, so you actually get to talk.

Miss the old free chat rooms anyway? We wrote up [where the chat rooms went](https://omegle.bz/blog/omegle-chat-rooms) and how a one-on-one chat compares.

### NSFW Omegle and the 18+ switch

Omegle is adults only, and every video passes an AI nudity filter on our own server. During a chat you'll see an 18+ switch. It starts on, so nothing gets hidden. Flip it off and strangers stay hidden until the filter rates them clean, and you're only matched with people whose video passed.

The filter isn't perfect. [How the NSFW filter works](https://omegle.bz/blog/omegle-nudity-filter) explains what it catches and what it misses.
