Chat with strangers in the USA

When it is busiest

Evenings Eastern are the busiest single window. Late night is quieter but tends to produce the longer conversations, which is a pattern anyone who used Omegle after midnight will recognise.

What language people use

Conversations are in English, and you will meet plenty of Spanish speakers too. The audience skews toward people who used Omegle before it closed and are looking for something similar that still works.

Chatting from the USA in practice

Most people here arrive on a laptop rather than a phone, which changes what gets used: the desktop layout puts the chat and the room list side by side, and video chat is more popular than it is elsewhere on the site.

Staying safe

Never share your full name, your school or workplace, or anything with an address on it. The automatic filter blocks links, phone numbers and social handles, and three separate reports within an hour block somebody automatically — but treat everything on camera as screenshottable, because it is.

Our safety guide goes through this properly, and the community guidelines set out what gets somebody removed.

How StrangerMeet works

Video chat gets more use here than anywhere else on the site, which also means the American room is quieter than the American video queue.

There is no account and no app — pick a way to chat and you are talking within seconds. Nothing from random or group chat is stored; room messages last 24 hours. Full walkthrough in how it works, and answers to the usual questions in the FAQ.
