About OMG Chat

OMG Chat is a free random video chat for adults. Tap Start, meet a stranger face to face, tap Next whenever you like. It runs in any modern browser at omgvchat.com and as an Android app on Google Play.

Why we built it

When Omegle closed in November 2023, millions of people lost the simplest way to meet someone new online: one button, one stranger, no profile to build. Many of the sites that rushed to replace it were cluttered with paywalls, fake "online now" counters and bots, or had no real way to report and block people.

OMG Chat is our attempt to do it properly: keep the one-tap simplicity that made random chat fun, and add the safety tools and honesty it was missing.

What OMG Chat does

• One-tap random video chat. No sign-up needed; you can continue as a guest.
• Interest matching. Pick up to five interests and we try people who share one first.
• Voice-only mode for days when you'd rather keep the camera off.
• Text chat with automatic translation, so you can talk to people anywhere.
• Instant skip, block and report. Next works on the first tap; blocked people can never be matched with you again.
• Friends, so you can keep talking to people you get on with without swapping phone numbers.

What we believe

• Adults only, and clear rules. OMG Chat is for people aged 18 and over. Nudity, sexual content, harassment and anything involving minors are banned. Our Community Guidelines are short and readable on purpose.
• You can always leave. Nobody should feel trapped in a conversation. Skipping is instant and never needs a reason.
• Your calls are yours. Video and audio go directly between the two devices, or through an encrypted relay, and we never record or watch them. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
• Honesty about size. OMG Chat is a small, growing community. We don't use bots or fake user counts. Most people search every night around 21:00–22:00 CET, so that's when matching is fastest.
• Free at the core. Random video chat, voice-only mode, interests, text chat and safety tools are free.

How OMG Chat is funded

Running video chat costs money: servers, relays for connections that can't go direct, translation and moderation. OMG Chat pays for this with:

• Advertising on some of our website pages and in the Android app. Ads are never shown while you're connecting or in a call, and never to Premium members.
• OMG Premium, an optional subscription that adds gender and country filters and removes ads.
• Gems, optional in-app purchases for gifts and reaction packs.

Who runs it

OMG Chat is an independent project operated by Cameron Mcsorley. It isn't affiliated with Omegle, Chatroulette or any other chat service. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy name the operator and explain your rights, including how to delete your account.
