Key Features

Video Chat

High-quality peer-to-peer video, directly in your browser. Your video stream goes directly to your chat partner, not through our servers.

Live Translation

Messages are automatically translated in real-time. Chat with someone in Japanese while writing in English—they see Japanese, you see English.

Complete Privacy

anonymous, no personal data collection, no chat logs. Your conversations are temporary and private.

Text Chat

Prefer text? Chat without video. Great for those who prefer typing or have limited bandwidth.

Free Video Chat Rooms and Private Chat

Besides random matching, RandomChat offers free video chat rooms for people who already know each other. A room is a private chat with the person you invite: you create it, choose an optional password and share the room ID. Inside the room you can video chat and text just like in a random chat.

Private rooms are useful when you met someone nice in a random chat and want to talk again, when a friend lives in another country, or when you want a quiet place for a language exchange. The video goes directly between your devices, and the room creator can delete the room at any time.

Random chat and private rooms are both free and work in every modern browser. To start a conversation with someone new instead, go to random video chat and press Start.
