Meet new people with LiveStranger
LiveStranger connects two people for a live, one-to-one video conversation in their browsers. You can start random video chat as a guest. If you want to keep in touch with someone you meet, create an account to add friends, send messages, and make private video calls.
Video chat without signing up
Start as a guest to meet a stranger with your camera and microphone. You can skip to the next person, cancel searching, or end the call without creating an account.
Random video chat with a friends list
Create an account to send friend requests and keep a friends list. Once a request is accepted, you can exchange saved private messages and invite that friend to a private video call when they are online. Your friend chooses whether to accept the call. These features require an account; guest access is for random chats.
How random video chat works
- Choose Start Chat and allow your browser to use your camera and microphone.
- Wait while another available person joins. Both people need to be online and searching to be matched.
- Say hello, use Next Person to find another conversation, or choose End Chat to stop.
Before your first conversation
Do I need an account to video chat?
You can use random video chat as a guest. An account adds friends, saved private messages, and the option to call a friend who is online.
Do I need to download an app?
No app download is needed. LiveStranger runs in your browser. You need an internet connection, a camera, a microphone, and a browser that supports live video calls.
Why am I waiting for a match?
A conversation starts when another available person is searching too. If nobody is available, you stay in the queue until someone joins. You can cancel searching at any time.
Are video calls recorded?
LiveStranger does not record or store your calls. The other person may still capture them. Keep personal details private. Private text messages between friends are saved on the server and are not end-to-end encrypted.
What can I do about unwanted behavior?
End the conversation, block the person, or use Report to send a reason and block them. Blocks apply to your account or guest browser for up to 180 days. They cannot prevent someone from returning with a new account or guest identity.
