Start an OmegleWeb video call in seconds
An OmegleWeb video call needs three things: a browser, a camera and a tap. Open omegleweb.cc, go to the Match tab and tap start. The first time, your browser asks whether the site may use your camera and microphone; allow both and the call opens as soon as someone new is matched with you, usually within seconds.
Every call is one-to-one. There is no audience and no group room: just two cameras and two people who have never met. That is what people mean when they want to talk to strangers on a video call, and it is the only thing OmegleWeb does.
Random video call, or call someone directly
- Random match. Tap start and let OmegleWeb choose. You find out who it is when the video opens, and Next takes you to someone else whenever you want.
- Direct call. Open the online list, see who is around right now, and call her straight from her card or profile. No queue, and you already know who will pick up.
Many people start at random and switch to direct calls once they have met someone they want to talk to again. Following someone after a call puts her within easy reach next time.
What happens inside a call
- Your own picture-in-picture sits in a corner so you can see what the other person sees.
- Next becomes available after a short countdown, and takes you straight to a new face.
- If the other person leaves first, OmegleWeb matches you with someone else on its own.
- End closes the call at any time, without a reason.
- Report is right on the call screen: if someone crosses a line, report them without leaving the call. You can also report from their profile, your chat or the live room, and block them if you like.
Are OmegleWeb video calls free?
Some of them. Opening OmegleWeb and signing up are free, and new accounts usually get a number of free video matches. The Match tab shows how many you have left; the number is set by the system, so it isn't the same for every account.
After that, video calls are paid with coins you buy in advance. Each call has its own price, shown in the app, so two calls of the same length can cost different amounts. A notice appears in the call before billing starts, which means you always see that a call is about to cost coins before it does. In practice, that makes your first calls a free webcam chat: you can see how OmegleWeb works before you decide to spend anything.
Payments go through a payment provider on its own page. OmegleWeb never sees your card number. VIP is an optional membership; matching, calling and messaging all work without it.
Getting your webcam ready
A webcam chat is only as good as the picture. A few seconds of setup make a real difference to how many people stay to talk:
- Light from the front. Face a window or a lamp; light behind you turns your face into a silhouette.
- Camera at eye level. Prop the laptop or phone up a little, so the other person isn't looking up your nose.
- Show your face. A camera pointed at the ceiling, a black screen or a still picture looks like a fake camera, and accounts get reported for it.
- Quiet room, steady connection. Wi-Fi is usually better than a weak mobile signal for video.
Staying comfortable on a video call with strangers
Most calls are just two people saying hello. For the few that aren't, you are always in control, and you never owe anyone an explanation:
- End or Next, straight away. If a call feels wrong, leave it. The other person is not told why.
- Keep your details to yourself. You never have to give your real name, number or email to the person on the other side. Don't mention your surname, address, school or workplace on camera either.
- Report, then block. Reports are reviewed by people, and accounts that break the rules are removed and can't sign up again. A block works right away: that person can't call or message you, and you can unblock them any time from your block list.
Recording or screenshotting someone without asking is against the community guidelines, and so is anything explicit. If you see either, report it.
If the video won't start
Nine times out of ten it is a permission. Click the camera or padlock icon in the address bar and make sure omegleweb.cc may use your camera and microphone, then reload the page. If another app or tab is already using the camera, close it first. On a phone, check that your browser itself is allowed to use the camera in the phone's settings.
Still nothing? Try another up-to-date browser. The help page covers sound problems, connection drops and everything else that can go wrong in a call.
