Random Chat with Strangers

LemonChat LemonChat is where random conversations happen. Sign in with Google, press a button, and within 3 seconds you are face-to-face with a stranger from another country. No app to download. No credit card prompts. Just a camera, a stranger, and whatever you two decide to talk about.

Why LemonChat is the Top Omegle Alternative

Omegle shut down in November 2023 after 14 years. LemonChat picked up where it left off — anonymous 1-on-1 video chats with strangers, but with AI moderation that actually works. No sign-up forms. Click a button and you're talking to someone new in under 3 seconds.

Fully Anonymous Video Chat

No email, no phone number, no profile. You show up, click Start, and talk. We don't save chat logs or screenshots. When you close the tab, it's like the conversation never happened. Optional Google sign-in is there if you want gender filtering, but it's not required.

1-on-1 Chats with Strangers from 190+ Countries

LemonChat serves users from over 190 countries around the clock. You might talk to someone in Tokyo at 3 AM, or a student in São Paulo during lunch. No swiping, no profiles to browse — just press Next and the system pairs you with whoever's available.

Encrypted Connections, Zero Stored Data

Every video and text session runs through encrypted WebRTC connections. We don't keep chat logs, we don't store personal data, and we don't sell anything to third parties. AI moderation scans for rule-breaking in real time so you can report bad actors with one click.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LemonChat?

A free random video and text chat platform. Sign in with Google, press a button, and you are talking to someone from another country within seconds.

Is LemonChat really free?

Yes. Video, text, interest matching, gender filter — everything is free. No premium tiers, no coin packs, no hidden charges. We make money differently, not by nickel-and-diming users.

Do I have to create an account?

No. You can chat immediately. If you want the gender filter, sign in with Google — takes 5 seconds and we don't access your contacts or post anything.

How safe is it?

AI moderation runs 24/7, and you have one-click report and block tools. We don't store chat logs or personal data. That said, use common sense — don't share personal info with people you just met.

How does the matching algorithm work?

Add interest tags and the system looks for people with overlapping topics. The more specific your tags, the better your matches. No tags = fully random, which is fun in its own way.

Does LemonChat work on phones?
