Staying safe on MeetStrangers

Talking to strangers can be great fun. These habits keep it that way.

Interest matching

Add up to 10 interests and get paired with strangers who share them. If nobody matches in a few seconds, we widen the search so you are never stuck waiting.

Instant, peer-to-peer video

Calls connect directly between browsers with WebRTC, so video stays smooth and low-latency. Nothing is recorded or stored on our servers.

Blur-until-you-tap safety

Turn on Safe Mode and every new stranger starts blurred. One tap reveals them, so you decide what you see.

Language filter

Pick a language to meet people you can actually talk to, or leave it on β€œAny” for the whole world.

Text chat with every call

Chat on the side during video, see when the other person is typing, and send quick emoji reactions.

Keyboard shortcuts

Press Esc twice to skip, Enter to send, M to mute and V to toggle your camera. Fast as the original Omegle, only smoother.

Works on any device

Phones, tablets and desktops in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Switch between front and back camera with one tap. Install it as an app.

Report and auto-ban

One click reports and skips abusive users. Repeatedly reported users are automatically banned.

Free and no sign-up

No account, no email, no phone number, no paywall on filters. Open the page and start talking.

Protect your privacy

Never share your full name, address, school, workplace, phone number, social media handles or passwords. Check what is visible behind you on camera. Remember that the other person could record their screen.

Use Safe Mode

Safe Mode blurs every new stranger until you tap to reveal them. It is on by default and you can toggle it in the chat screen.

Report, then skip

If someone is abusive, sexual, underage, or spamming, press Report. You are moved to a new stranger immediately, and repeat offenders are automatically banned.

18+ only

MeetStrangers is for adults aged 18 and over. If you meet someone who appears to be a minor, end the chat and report them.
