Omegle was a free online chat website that allowed users to socialize with others without the need to register1. The service randomly paired users in one-on-one chat sessions where they would chat anonymously using the names “You” and “Stranger”1. It operated from 25 March 2009 to 8 November 20231.
Omegle was one of the more popular video chat sites available online2. It paired random users identified as ‘You’ and ‘Stranger’ to chat online via ‘Text’, ‘Video’ or both2. A user could also choose to add their interests, and Omegle would try to pair a user with someone who had similar interests2.
However, it’s important to note that while Omegle provided a platform for users to meet new people instantly, it also posed certain risks. Users were advised not to provide personal information to people they met on Omegle for their safety
