Free to start · Adults only (18+)
Random video chat with strangers.
Ominglo puts you face to face with a stranger picked at random, just the two of you, and gives you a box for typing right next to the picture. It runs in your browser, and you can start as a guest without signing up.
By starting you confirm you are 18 or older and accept the Terms and Community Rules.
- Adults only, 18+
- Report in two taps
- Encrypted, not recorded
- Automated and human moderation
How it works
Three steps and nothing to install. You need a camera, a microphone and an up-to-date browser.
Add a topic, if you like
Type up to 5 interests, such as music, travel or football. The matching then tries to find someone with the same tag first. Tags are optional, and they raise your chances rather than promise a shared topic.
Press Start
Your browser asks for the camera and microphone. Allow both, confirm you are an adult, and Ominglo looks for one random person who is waiting for a chat right now.
Talk, type or move on
Say hello on video or write in the text box. If the conversation is not going anywhere, Next finds someone new. Stop ends the chat and takes you back to the start.
What a chat looks like
One screen, two video windows and a text box. Nothing else gets in the way while you talk.
-
Two video windows
The other person's video is large; your own camera is shown smaller, so you always know how you look. On the other person's video you see their name, age and country.
-
A text box beside the video
Every video chat has a text box. Use it when the room is loud, to spell a name, or to share a word that is hard to say. A short note tells you when you both picked the same tag.
-
Next and Stop
Next ends the current chat and starts looking for someone else straight away. Stop ends the chat without looking further. Report sits next to the other person's name.

Is Ominglo safe?
Yes. Ominglo is for adults only and nudity is not allowed. Automated moderation runs around the clock, people on our team look at reports, appeals and unclear cases, and two taps end and report any chat.
A moderator may look at your camera live while checking a case. They see the picture only: no sound reaches our team, and nothing is recorded.
No automated check catches everything, so treat every chat like a conversation with a stranger: keep your full name, address and passwords to yourself, and leave any chat that makes you uncomfortable.
- Adults only. Before the first chat, you state that you have turned 18.
- Blur on your screen. If a check running in your browser spots nudity on the other side, you see that picture blurred right away.
- Automated checks. Frames from the camera are checked for nudity during a chat. Clear cases end the chat and lead to an automatic penalty that grows with each violation.
- Human review. People on the moderation team handle reports, borderline cases and appeals.
- Not recorded. No chat is ever recorded, and picture and sound travel encrypted.
What people use it for
There is no right way to use a random chat. These are three common reasons to press Start.
-
Practising a language
Short chats with people from other countries are a low-pressure way to use a language you are learning. Add the language as a tag, keep the text box open for words you cannot pronounce yet, and press Next whenever you want a new voice.
-
Talking about a hobby
Tags such as music, games, films or cooking help you start with something in common. It is easier to open with "what are you listening to?" than with small talk about the weather.
-
A short break
Some people open a chat for ten minutes between other things. There is nothing to set up and no profile to fill in, so a quick conversation can start and end whenever it suits you.
What you need
Ominglo works in the browser on computers, phones and tablets. There is no app to download from an app store.
- A camera and a microphone, built in or plugged in
- A current browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari
- A stable connection; Wi-Fi works best, mobile data works too
- Permission for the site to use the camera and microphone when your browser asks
Check your camera first
Not sure the camera, microphone or connection will work? The free camera and microphone test checks all three in your browser before your first chat. Nothing is uploaded or recorded.
Your language
The chat screen comes in English, Spanish or Portuguese, chosen to match the language your browser uses.
Questions and answers.
Short answers about accounts, matching and safety. More on the FAQ page.
Is Ominglo free?
Yes. Meeting people on random video, typing in the text box and adding up to 5 interest tags cost nothing. The optional paid plans and their prices are on the Plans page.
Do I need to sign up?
No. You can start as a guest straight away. A Google sign-in is only needed for a friends list and messages to friends.
Who will I be matched with?
With one random adult who is looking for a chat at the same moment as you.
Can I choose who I talk to?
Interest tags are free and help you meet people who picked the same topic. The other ways of choosing are part of the paid plans described on the Plans page.
Is there a text-only chat?
No. Ominglo has no separate text-only mode. You start a video chat, and the text box beside the video is there for typing during it.
Are chats recorded?
No. Nothing is recorded, and picture and sound travel encrypted. Frames flagged by the automated check, or attached to a report, are kept for moderation as the Safety page explains.
How do I report someone?
Tap Report next to the other person's name and pick a reason. The chat ends at once and the report goes to the moderation team.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Ominglo runs in the browser on Android phones, iPhones and tablets. Allow the camera and microphone when the browser asks.
How do I cancel a paid plan?
Open the Premium tab in the app and manage your subscription there. The plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
