Chat online

What "chat online" means today

Chatting online used to mean forums and messenger apps that locked you into one friend circle. Today it means something simpler: opening a browser tab and having a real conversation with a person anywhere on the planet, seconds later.

That is exactly what this site does. There is no app store, no registration wall and no friend list — just an anonymous chat window and someone on the other end who is also there to talk.

How to start chatting online

1. Open the chat. Everything runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
2. Press Start. You are matched with a random stranger in about two seconds.
3. Choose your mode. Keep it typed in text, or switch your camera on for video whenever you feel comfortable.
4. Skip freely. Press Next to end a chat and meet someone new. There is no limit.

Want conversations that start well? Set an interest and matching will prefer people who share it.

Why people chat online here

• It's free. No subscriptions, no coins, no premium wall.
• It's anonymous. No account, no name, no profile photo. Your session id stays in your browser.
• It's global. The stranger you talk to is just as likely to be across the ocean as across the street.
• It's private. Text messages are not stored, and you control your camera at all times.

Staying safe while chatting online

Never share your address, phone number, passwords or bank details, and be careful about moving a conversation off the site. If anyone makes you uncomfortable, skip them — and you can report and permanently block anyone who misbehaves. Our stranger chat safety guide walks through the basics.
