Video Chat with Strangers

Anoniz connects you face-to-face with a random person, straight from your browser. No app, no account — allow your camera, confirm you're over 18, and you're in a call.

How it works

  1. Allow camera and microphone. Your browser will ask once. You can see your own preview before anyone else does.
  2. We find someone. Add interests and we'll prioritise people who share them. If it's quiet we keep searching rather than giving up — and you can ask us to ping you, or switch to text chat, while we look.
  3. Talk, or skip. Next moves you straight to a new person. Stop ends the call and shuts your camera off.

What makes video different

Video conversations are shorter and warmer than text ones. You read tone and expression instantly, so you work out in five seconds whether you want to keep talking — something that takes a dozen messages in text. It's the closer thing to actually meeting someone.

  • Peer-to-peer. The video stream runs directly between the two browsers.
  • Nothing recorded. Calls aren't saved anywhere.
  • Works on mobile. No app store detour — it runs in the browser you already have.
  • You control the camera. Stop at any time, and the camera light goes out with it.

Staying safe on camera

Video gives away more than text does, so it's worth thinking for a second before you connect. Check what's visible behind you — post, packages, a window with a recognisable view, anything with your name on it. Assume anything on camera could be screenshotted, because it could be.

Never feel obliged to stay in a call. If someone asks you to do something you're not comfortable with, or asks for money or personal details, press Next immediately — that's what the button is for.

Common questions

Do I need to sign up?

No. There's no account and no email — only a confirmation that you're 18 or over.

Are my calls recorded?

No. Video runs peer-to-peer between the two browsers and nothing is stored on our side.

What if nobody is online?

We keep you in the queue instead of dropping you out of it, and we'll show you a few options while you wait — switch to text chat, get a notification when someone joins, or read something. You stay in the queue the whole time.

How do I know I'm not talking to a bot?

Video chat is human-only on Anoniz — our AI is text-only, and it is labelled with a visible badge whenever it appears. Many random chat sites are not this clear about it. Here's how to spot a bot anywhere else.

What happened to Omegle's video chat?

Omegle closed in November 2023 and took its video chat with it. Anoniz offers the same browser-based, one-to-one random video without an app or an account. Read what happened.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, in any modern mobile browser. Allow camera access when prompted.
