Comparison

Best Omegle alternatives in 2026, ranked by how much roulette is left.

Omegle closed in November 2023. What it got right was the spin: one click, a stranger on camera, one more click to move on. Fifteen sites now claim its place, and a lot of people search for it as "Omegle TV". This page scores each of them on that one thing, instead of listing features nobody asked for, and says plainly what Omegle TV means now.

The short version

If you used Omegle for one-on-one video with strangers, the sites that kept that feeling are the ones with a real Spin button: Chatroulette (the original, still running), OmeTV (the biggest), Chatrandom, Camsurf, and the post-shutdown arrivals Thundr, Hay and SpinMeet.cc. If you used Omegle for text chat by interest, nothing on this list will feel the same; that side of Omegle did not survive anywhere in the same form.

The scorecard below marks five things for each site. Spin: a one-tap next button that ends the call cleanly and opens a new one. Cam first: video is the default, not a text room with video bolted on. No account: you can start without signing up. Free tier: something usable costs nothing. Moderated: the site says it moderates live video. A site that misses on Spin is not really an Omegle alternative, whatever else it does.

Is Omegle online right now?

No. Omegle online is one of the most typed searches on this subject, and the honest answer is that the site has been offline since November 2023 and is not coming back. Anything you reach at an address that calls itself Omegle online today is an unrelated operator, and usually a thin page with a famous name on it.

What people actually want when they search for Omegle online is not the domain; it is the thing Omegle did: a random video chat you open in the browser, with no account, that puts a stranger on your screen in one click. That still exists, on the sites in this list. The ones in the first group below are online right now, in the browser, with the same one-click spin, and SpinMeet.cc is built around exactly that.

What people mean by "Omegle TV"

A lot of the searches that lead here say Omegle TV, not Omegle. It is worth untangling, because the phrase points at three different things and the right alternative depends on which one you meant.

  • The old Omegle, watched on a TV or a big screen. That Omegle closed in November 2023 and is not coming back. Every entry in this list runs in a browser and works on a TV-sized screen just as well as on a phone.
  • OmeTV. A separate site and app that grew alongside Omegle and absorbed a lot of its traffic. It is number 3 in the list below: the biggest pool, a fast Next, filters on the paid tier.
  • Any "video roulette" where a stranger appears on camera. If that is what you mean by Omegle TV, the whole first group below qualifies, and SpinMeet.cc is built around exactly that spin.

One more thing to know: there is no official Omegle TV. Sites using that name today are unrelated operators borrowing it for traffic, and the scorecard above is how to tell a real roulette from a landing page with a famous name on it.

Group one: the spin is intact

These sites do what Omegle did on its best day. Tap, someone is there, tap again.

1. SpinMeet.cc

Built around the spin and nothing else. Tap Spin in the browser, the dial lands on a woman who hosts here and is online at that moment, and a private one-on-one video call opens. The difference from Omegle is that the spin never lands on an empty camera or a screen full of nothing: every host has a real profile, and you can open it before you call. First spins are free with no account; longer private calls run on coins, price shown first. Adults only. If Omegle's problem was what you landed on, this is the fix.

2. Chatroulette

The site that gave the format its name, and still the closest thing to Omegle in spirit: free, in the browser, one-on-one video, a Next button, no account. Moderation is much stricter than in its early years, which is why it is still running. Who you meet is a coin toss, in every sense.

3. OmeTV

The biggest of the Omegle-era survivors, on the web and as an app. A fast Next, a huge pool, a country filter on the free tier and more on the paid one. The crowd is the widest on this list, which is both its strength and the reason a lot of spins go nowhere.

4. Chatrandom

A random cam chat with the full filter set: gender, country, and themed rooms. The spin is quick and the free tier is real; the gender filter, which is the one most people want, is paid.

5. Camsurf

Lightweight, browser and app, and one of the easier sites to start on: allow the camera and you are spinning. It leans on automated moderation and keeps the interface out of the way.

6. Thundr

Built after the shutdown for people looking for a replacement, with video and text side by side and a clean, no-account start. It feels like Omegle redrawn by someone who had used it a lot.

7. Hay

Another post-2023 site, browser-first, with a Next button and interest tags that actually do something. Smaller pool than OmeTV, calmer crowd.

Group two: the spin plus a filter you will probably pay for

Still roulettes, but the thing you came for sits behind a subscription. Fine if you know that going in.

8. Shagle

Random video chat with a gender filter and virtual masks. Free to spin; the filter is the upsell. Our Shagle alternatives page sorts the other options by what their free tier gives you.

9. Camloo

A gender-aware random video chat that pairs by preference when it can. The spin is fast, the pool is smaller than the giants.

10. CamGo

Random video and text with a familiar layout; the filters that make it useful are paid.

11. Chatspin

Random video chat with AR masks and a country filter, in the browser and as an app. Free to start, filters paid.

Group three: a different shape

These are good sites that are not quite roulettes. Text-first, app-first, or a curated pool rather than a spin.

12. Joingy

A text-or-video roulette in the older style. Video works, but the text room is where most people are. If that is why you are leaving it, the Joingy alternatives page groups the swaps by reason.

13. Emerald Chat

Interest matching and a text-forward design; video is there, but the site is built for conversation first.

14. Monkey

App-first, short timed video calls, a younger crowd, and an account to start. The spin is there, the browser is not.

15. CooMeet

Video chat with women only, on a paid model with a trial. Not free and not anonymous, but the closest of the paid sites to a real spin.

How to choose

  • You want the original feeling, whoever turns up: Chatroulette or OmeTV.
  • You want the spin, but to land on a real person every time: SpinMeet.cc, and its live girl video call page if you only want women on the dial.
  • You want both cameras on from the first second: the webcam roulette.
  • You want to start with the camera off: the spin chat.
  • You want a gender filter and will pay for it: Chatrandom or Shagle.
  • You would rather type first: Joingy or Emerald Chat.
  • You live on your phone: OmeTV or Monkey.

Whichever you pick, the rule from Omegle still applies: nothing you would not say to a stranger in public, no personal or payment details in the chat, and a report the moment something is wrong. See also our Chatroulette alternatives, which covers the same field from the other direction.

SpinMeet.cc is an independent site and is not affiliated with Omegle, spinmeet.com, or any site listed above. Site details are as observed in September 2026 and can change.

Questions

Omegle alternatives, answered

01Is Omegle online?

No. Omegle went offline in November 2023 and has not come back. Any site you find today at an "Omegle online" address is an unrelated operator using the name. If you want the Omegle online experience, a random 1-on-1 video chat you open in the browser with no account, the sites in this list with a real Spin button are the working versions of it; SpinMeet.cc is one of them.

02What is Omegle TV?

Omegle TV is not one site. People type it meaning three things: the original Omegle (closed in November 2023, so any site using that name today is unrelated), OmeTV (a separate random video chat that is still running), or simply any video roulette where you watch a stranger on camera. If you want the Omegle TV experience, the sites in this list with a real Spin button are the ones to open; SpinMeet.cc is built for exactly that.

03Is Omegle TV back?

The original Omegle is not back, and there is no official Omegle TV. Sites calling themselves Omegle TV or the new Omegle are unrelated operators using the name for traffic. The working replacements are the roulettes in this list.

04What replaced Omegle?

Nothing replaced it one-for-one. The people who used Omegle for its one-on-one video roulette moved to sites built around a Spin or Next button: Chatroulette, OmeTV, Chatrandom, Camsurf, and newer arrivals such as Thundr, Hay and SpinMeet.cc. The interest-tag text side of Omegle never came back in the same form.

05Which Omegle alternative is closest to the original?

Chatroulette is the closest in spirit: free, browser-based, one-on-one video, no account. If you want the same spin but to land on a real, moderated host every time instead of an empty camera, SpinMeet.cc is built for exactly that.

06Are Omegle alternatives free?

Most are free to start in the browser without an account. Filters, gender selection and longer private calls are usually paid, either by subscription or, on SpinMeet.cc, by coins with the price shown first.

07Which Omegle alternatives are safe?

The ones that moderate live video and give you a one-tap report. Every site in this list says it does; the difference is how quickly a report is acted on. Keep personal details out of any random chat, on any site.

08Is there an Omegle alternative for adults only?

Yes. Several sites in this list are 18+ by design, including SpinMeet.cc. Adult-only does not mean explicit; it means every person in the call is an adult and the site is moderated on that basis.

Skip the list. Spin.

The dial lands on a real person who is online right now. Free to start, no download, 18+.
