OmeTV – Video Chat Alternative

OmeTV connects you to a stranger by video, and if the conversation is not working, one swipe brings the next. More than a million mobile users are active alongside a large web audience, which matters practically: with a small user base, random chat means waiting, and with a large one there is always somebody available whatever hour you open it. Two features distinguish it from the format's early days. Moderation is active rather than nominal. An automated system watches for rule violations and human moderators are available around the clock, which does not make the platform perfect but does mean bad behaviour has consequences and reports are acted on. Anyone who used the first generation of random video chat sites will recognise why this matters. Text chat is available as a fallback when your camera is not working or your connection is too slow for video, which keeps the app usable in conditions where it would otherwise simply fail. There is no registration and no membership fee, so nothing about you is stored before you start. The usual sense applies: keep identifying details off camera, be aware of what is behind you, and use the report function rather than tolerating behaviour you should not have to.
