Video chat with one stranger at a time
randomstrangers.chat’s video chat connects you with a single random person for a face-to-face conversation. There is no group room and no feed: just you, them, and the Next button whenever you want a new face.
What you need
- A browser on a phone, tablet or computer (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all work).
- A camera and microphone. Your browser asks for permission when you press Start, and you can preview yourself before anyone sees you.
- A connection of roughly 1 Mbit/s upload for clear video; randomstrangers.chat lowers the quality automatically on slower networks.
Choose who you meet, for free
Many random video chat sites charge for gender or country filters. On randomstrangers.chat they are free for everyone:
- Chat with: everyone, women or men.
- Location: worldwide or your own country, or pick several countries in Preferences.
- Interests: add a few topics and people who share them are matched with you first.
Filters are soft by default. If nobody fits within a few seconds, the search widens so you meet someone quickly. Turn on Only match my filters to wait for an exact fit instead.
Fast connections
randomstrangers.chat sets up calls directly between the two browsers (peer-to-peer WebRTC), so video does not take a detour through a distant server. Most calls connect within a second or two of being matched. Some strict office, school or mobile networks block direct calls; if that happens you are moved on to someone else automatically.
Portrait or landscape, nothing cropped
Phone cameras send tall video. randomstrangers.chat shows the whole picture, with a soft blurred fill at the sides on wide screens, instead of cutting off someone’s face.
Stay in control
Mute, turn your camera off, skip with Next, or end with Stop at any moment. Report and Block end the call instantly and you will not be matched with that person again. Calls are never recorded by randomstrangers.chat.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start a random video chat?
Press Start video chat, allow your camera and microphone, and you are matched with one random person. Press Next for someone new.
Is the video chat recorded?
No. Calls are never recorded, and video travels directly between the two browsers.
Can I choose who I video chat with?
Yes, for free: pick women, men or everyone, and choose countries, languages and interests. If nobody fits quickly, the search widens unless you switch on Only match my filters.
Why can't I see the other person?
They may have turned their camera off, or your network may block direct calls. If a call cannot connect, you are moved on to someone else.
