What is Chitchat?
Chitchat is a global online chat platform for text and video, made to meet new people worldwide. Start a random text or video chat and talk to strangers instantly. Online chatting with strangers, one person at a time, with no feed in the way. People use it to practise a language with native speakers, to meet people in other countries, or just to have a conversation late at night when nobody they know is awake.
Is Chitchat free?
Yes. Free chat on both text and video: matching, text chat and video chat all cost nothing, and you can chat online for as long as you like. Optional subscriptions are how the site is funded instead of ads, but you never need one to talk to people.
Can I chat anonymously on Chitchat?
Yes, anonymous chat is the default. No registration is required for text chat: one tap and you are in, with nothing to download. Random video chat asks for a quick, free signup. An account only adds the extras: the friends you have met, your chat history, and your saved interest filters.
Is Chitchat safe to use?
Yes. Random chat here is watched while it happens, not only when somebody complains: more than 89% of what we acted on in the last 90 days was caught before a single report came in. Real people make the calls a filter cannot, around the clock. The full numbers are in our transparency report, updated every 90 days.
Can I choose who I get matched with?
Matching can be fully random, or you can narrow it with interest, region and gender filters. Random stranger chat is the default, so you talk with strangers you would never otherwise meet. Filters narrow the pool, they do not turn it into a list of people you already know.
Is Chitchat a good Omegle alternative?
Yes. As a chat alternative it does what people actually used Omegle for: talk to strangers one at a time, at random, with no registration for text chat and nothing to install. It runs in any browser, on a phone or a laptop. Text chat needs no camera or microphone, and video chat is one tap away. What Omegle never had is moderation from day one. Fuller comparison on our Omegle alternative page.
Is Chitchat different from Ome.tv and Uhmegle?
Ome.tv (OmeTV) and Uhmegle are video-first: you land in a video call or you do not chat at all. Chitchat runs random text chat and random video chat, so you pick the mode you want. All three are free with nothing to download. The difference is during the chat: Chitchat is moderated in real time, and you can add someone as a friend afterwards.
Is it safe to talk to strangers online?
No random chat site is risk-free. On Chitchat, live moderation handles what happens inside a chat. A few things you can do to stay safe: don't share identifying details up front, keep the first few minutes light, and leave the moment something feels off. Nobody is owed your real name, your socials or your location.
How does random chat work?
Pick the mode you want, text or video, then get matched with one person at a time. No chat rooms to join, no profiles to browse and no feed deciding who you meet. If a conversation is not going anywhere, skip and get someone new. Some people are looking for a quick conversation and some are looking for a friend. Both work here, because you can add someone after a chat instead of losing them.
What safety tools does Chitchat offer?
Every text chat and video chat has a report button, and you can skip anytime if you would rather just leave. Reports are checked 24/7 by moderators, not just by a script. Anyone who signals as underage has to pass an age check before they can keep chatting, which blocks 450+ attempts a day. What happens after a report is explained in our community guidelines.
