FAQ

Questions and answers

Getting started

What do I need to use Ominglo?

A camera, a microphone and a current browser on a computer or a phone. There is no app to install.

Is an account required?

No, guest mode is enough to start. Signing in with Google adds a friends list and messages to friends.

Is Ominglo free?

Yes. Random video chat costs nothing, and neither do up to 5 interest tags. The paid Plus and Max plans add more control over who you meet, plus a few extras.

Which languages does it support?

You can use the chat screen in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

Matching

Who will I be matched with?

With one random adult who is looking for a chat at the same moment as you.

What do interest tags do?

They tell the matching what you want to talk about, so it looks for people with the same tags first. It cannot promise one, though: if nobody with your tag is waiting, you meet someone else.

Can I choose who I talk to?

Picking women or men, and picking countries and regions, come with the paid plans. Without them, matching is random.

Can I go back to the person I just talked to?

With a paid plan, yes: Previous asks your last chat partner to reconnect.

Safety and privacy

Is Ominglo safe?

Yes. It is for adults only, nudity is not allowed, automated checks run during chats and people review reports and appeals. No automated check catches everything, so keep personal details to yourself. Details are on the Safety page.

Are chats recorded?

No. Nothing is recorded, and picture and sound travel encrypted. Single frames can be saved 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 and the report goes to the moderation team.

Can I block one person?

There is no block button. Next takes you to someone new, and a report ends the chat.

How do I delete my account?

Open Profile and choose Delete account. You can also write to [email protected].

Paid plans

How much do the plans cost?

Plus costs €18.99 per month and Max costs €27.99 per month, in euros (EUR). You pay at the start of each month, and the plan renews every month until you cancel it. The Plans page sets out what each plan includes and how billing works.

How do I cancel?

Open Premium in the app and choose Cancel. The plan stays active until the end of the paid period.
