How Random Video Chat Works

Random video chat pairs you with someone new for a 1v1 video chat. It is a simple way to video chat with strangers in just a few taps.

  1. 1

    Start a Match

    Tap Start Matching and we connect you with someone new — no forms and no sign-up to begin.

  2. 2

    Meet Face to Face

    You are placed in a private 1v1 video conversation. Say hello and see where the chat goes.

  3. 3

    Continue or Move On

    Stay as long as it clicks, or move on to meet the next new person whenever you like.

A Simple Way to Talk to New People Online

Maybe you want to practice a language, hear a new perspective, or just have a friendly conversation. Starting a match is an easy way to talk to strangers without the pressure of a profile or a follower count. Each match lets you chat with random people from different places, and because it all happens in online video chat, you see a real person on the other side of the conversation.

Start with Free Video Chat Matches

New users receive a limited number of free video chat matches. The idea is simple: try a few live conversations first, then decide whether random video chat is for you. The free matches are for new users and are limited in number — see exactly how free match credits work, and what happens after your free matches run out.

Why Choose 1v1 Video Chat?

A 1v1 video chat keeps things personal — it is just you and one other person, not a crowded room. If you like being on camera together, cam to cam chat puts both people on live video at once. Prefer to keep things low-key? An anonymous video chat lets you meet new people without building a profile.

Random Video Chat on Desktop or Mobile

Everything runs right in your browser, so there is nothing to download. Start an online video chat from your laptop, or begin a random video call from your phone — the experience follows you across devices.
