Free random video chat with strangers
FriendChat connects you with a random person from anywhere in the world for a live 1-on-1 conversation. There's nothing to download and no account to create: enter a name, choose who you'd like to meet, and press start. If the conversation isn't for you, press Next and you'll be matched with someone new in seconds.
How it works
- Enter a name – any nickname you like. No email, phone number or sign-up.
- Pick your filters – choose to talk with anyone, only males or only females.
- Choose video, voice or text – show your face, talk with audio only, or just type.
- Start chatting – you're matched with a random stranger instantly. Press Next any time to meet someone else.
Why people use FriendChat

A safer way to talk to strangers
FriendChat is for adults aged 18 and over. Every chat has a Report button, and people who are reported by several users are banned automatically. Text messages pass through an offensive-word filter. Please read our Terms of Service and never share personal details such as your address or phone number with someone you've just met.
An Omegle alternative
Since Omegle shut down in 2023, many people have been looking for a simple place to meet strangers online. FriendChat keeps the same one-click idea – random, anonymous, 1-on-1 chat – and adds gender filters, voice-only and text-only modes, and built-in reporting.
