Are you looking for alternatives to Omegle? If you're eager to video chat with strangers online, there are plenty of Omegle alternatives to try. This wikiHow guide takes a deep dive into the best Omegle alternatives, their features, and privacy tips for each option.

Top Omegle Alternatives

The best alternatives to Omegle are OmeTV, Monkey.app, Camfrog, Chatrandom, Chatroulette, Bazoocam, Tinychat, Camsurf, MeetMe, and Emerald Chat.

Steps

1

Ome.TV

Download Article

1. The most popular Omegle alternative. Register for the site once, then never share your personal data again since OmeTV does not share your information with anyone else. That means that OmeTV does not log your previous activity!

   • When you register, note that this site does not allow minors to access the services and prohibits nudity and adult content.
   • OmeTV offers many features like Omegle, such as 1-on-1 chats and random pairing. And it's free to use.

Monkey.app

Download Article

1. Best for young adults. This service is another option to video chat with strangers, like Omegle and OmeTV, with some popular features from TikTok and Snapchat included. Note that minors aren't allowed to use these services.

   • While the most basic features are free, some features are premium and cost a fee.
   • Monkey.app features include 1-on-1, duo, and group chats and you can access Monkey online or in the mobile app.
   • Since Monkey tracks and monitors its users, using a VPN will keep your personal data safe.

Camfrog.com

Download Article

1. Best for the hearing impaired. This app serves as the main deaf-friendly free chat service. Although the deaf community isn't Camfrog's main demographic, the ability to communicate non-verbally appeals to many in that community.

   • Camfrog also supports chat rooms, and you can search for one by searching the available categories, or you can join a random room.
   • You can only use Camfrog on your smartphone or tablet, but it is free to use.

Chatrandom.com

Download Article

1. Best video chat rooms. This is a video chat service that's free and promotes "uncensored random video chat." You can start a random video chat by selecting your gender, then clicking Start or you can join a chat room.

   • Since this site isn't monitored or censored, you need to make sure your personal data is safe. Of course, use a VPN to hide your online activity, but also know that even though recording is prohibited, it can still happen, and someone can record their screen in a chat room to record what you say.

5

Chatroulette.com

Download Article

1. Best for user control. You don't need to register for an account on Chatroulette, which is available on the web or through a mobile app. You can accept or deny anyone who calls you, and you can rank other users, so good behavior is encouraged. Not all the features are free.

   • Chatroulette has a strict moderation team and will monitor users when logging in. However, you can get around the monitoring by using a VPN.

Emeraldchat.com

Download Article

1. Best for interest-based matches. This service helps you find others to chat with based on shared interests. It's mostly free, although there are a few extra features that you can pay for.

   • With Emeraldchat, you can join a 1-on-1 video, text, or group chat. You can share videos and photos, but the service is strictly monitored. So you can rest assured that the person you're talking to is not a bot but a real human. You also trade that assurance for your personal data and are constantly monitored while using Emeraldchat.

7

Bazoocam.org

Download Article

1. Best for an old-school internet experience. Bazoocam looks like a site from the early 2000s, so it's instantly pulling on your nostalgia cords. It looks old but is actually younger than Omegle, so it copied from the more established site's policies. You don't have to register for an account unless you want to add other users as friends.

   • Note that the chats are monitored, so you want to read the rules before hopping into a chat. You should also use a VPN if you want to talk to others local to you without having your location tracked.
   • Users can play games like Tic Tac Toe, Tetris, and more.

Tinychat.com

Download Article

1. Best for forming groups. Register to use the site, then navigate through chat rooms, which can be invite-only, ranked higher than others, or open to the public. You can chat through text or voice or send 1-on-1 messages to other users.

   • You definitely want to use a VPN with Tiny Chat because it monitors your activity and gathers your data.

9

Camsurf.com

Download Article

1. Best alternative for simplicity. While the other sites offer other features, Cam Surf is a simple option that only allows users to chat with each other. You don't have to register unless you want more features. To begin chatting, you only need to select your gender and click Start.

   • Camsurf tracks your location and keeps your data to make personal recommendations, so use a VPN to keep your data safe.

Meetme.com

Download Article

1. Best for meeting others in your area. MeetMe is like Omegle but with a dating twist. With that in mind, minors are prohibited from the site, but there's no age verification.

   • Meet Me tracks your location to set you up with people in your area, so if you are using a VPN, the service will use your virtual location instead of your actual location.
   • There are free live chats, but you can buy a subscription to unlock more features.
