Omegle alternative
An Omegle alternative for video and text.
A funny story, a shared obsession, a conversation that lasts longer than you expected. Find that feeling again on Minggly with free video and text chat for adults.
18+ only. Free text and video chat. Country and gender filters require Premium.
What did you like about Omegle?
Maybe it was hearing about somebody’s day on the other side of the world. Maybe it was finding someone who loved the same game, or laughing at a joke you would never have heard otherwise. You did not need a reason to show up. You could just say hello.
Minggly gives you that choice again. Try random video chat for faces, voices and reactions, or text chat when you would rather keep your camera off. You can join anonymously, stay for a good conversation, and move on when it is time.
The original Omegle closed in November 2023. Minggly is an independent service, with its own community and rules. It is not an official Omegle relaunch.

Published by Minggly. Competitor details come from the official Chatroulette, Joingy, OmeTV, and Omegleweb pages, including Omegleweb’s video offer, checked on 23 September 2026. We have not tested their paid checkout or compared connection speeds. Offers can change.
Considering OmeTV?
OmeTV promotes video chat, translation and country selection, along with mobile apps. Those are useful reasons to consider it if you mainly want to be on camera.
Choose Minggly when you also want a place to talk through text. Both modes are free, so you can choose the one that suits your mood. Country and gender filters are part of Minggly Premium.
Considering Omegleweb?
Omegleweb offers both text and video, making it another familiar option after Omegle. Its video page also lists a weekly Premium plan.
With Minggly, one Premium subscription covers both modes. You can also protect your purchase with Google sign-in or a verified recovery email. See how to keep access on another device before subscribing.
Try a conversation before choosing extras
You do not need a subscription to find out whether you like Minggly. Start with a free chat. Add a few interests if you want something to open with, or choose a language you enjoy speaking. A question about someone’s favorite song or a place they would love to visit is enough to get going.
When you want more say in who you meet, Premium lets you choose a country or gender. One plan covers video and text: 1 day free for new subscribers, then US$9.99 per week, renewing automatically until cancelled. Read the free and Premium comparison before you decide.
There may be a wait during quiet periods. Keeping your choices broad gives you more people to meet; paying does not guarantee an instant match. Our filter guide helps you choose what matters to you.
Stay because you want to
A good conversation should feel comfortable. You can leave at any time, block an account you do not want to meet again, and report someone who breaks the rules. Everyone gets these controls for free.
Minggly is for adults 18+. Keep identifying details private and remember that an age confirmation is not proof of another person’s age. Read our safety tips and reporting guide before your first chat.
Your next conversation starts here.
Choose video or text. A hello is enough to begin.
