Omegle Online is built around one simple idea: you press a button and talk to someone you have never met. Here is what happens behind each step.

You choose how to talk

The home page has two buttons: one for text chat and one for video chat. Neither needs an account.

You are paired at random

Every conversation is with a randomly chosen person. If it is not a good match, press Esc in text chat or select Next in video chat to meet someone else. Select the stop button in text chat, or Stop in video chat, to end the conversation.

What it costs

Nothing. Chatting here is free, and you do not need to create an account. Read is it free, and do I need an account? for what you need before you start.
