How Randomegle Random Chat Works

Step 1 — Choose a Chat Mode

Randomegle begins by asking how you want to communicate.

Video

Video is suited to people who want a face-to-face conversation — the classic random video chat experience. It needs both camera and microphone access.

Audio

Choosing random audio chat keeps the conversation live while leaving the camera off. It only needs microphone access.

Text

In random text chat, messages need no camera or microphone permission, and translation is available where supported.

Choosing a mode before matching helps connect users who are ready for the same type of conversation.

Step 2 — Allow the Required Browser Permissions

Browsers control camera and microphone access for every browser video chat session.

For video chat, allow:

• camera access;
• microphone access.

For audio chat, allow:

• microphone access.

Text chat can begin without either permission.

When access is blocked, check the permission icon near the browser address bar or open the site-permission section in browser settings.

If a permission stays blocked after that, resetting the site permission in browser settings usually gets things working again.

Step 3 — Start Random Matching

After a mode is selected and permissions are ready, Randomegle searches for another available user.

Fast matching averages around 10 seconds. This is an average rather than a fixed guarantee.

A match may take longer when:

• fewer users are available in the selected mode;
• camera or microphone access has not completed;
• the network is unstable;
• the browser is restricting background activity;
• service demand is temporarily high.

Ultimately, how quickly you connect depends on how many users are available.

Step 4 — Begin the Conversation

Once connected, start with a simple greeting.

In video or audio mode, a short question often works better than waiting silently. In text mode, begin with a clear message that can be translated easily if needed.

A random match does not require either person to continue. Both users decide independently whether the conversation feels worthwhile.

Step 5 — Stay or Use Next

Next ends the current match and starts another search.

Use Next when:

• you want a different topic;
• the other person does not respond;
• language makes the conversation difficult;
• the interaction becomes uncomfortable;
• you simply want to meet someone else.

You do not need to argue, explain or remain in an unwanted conversation.

How Free Matches Work

New users receive introductory free matches.

These matches are designed to let someone experience:

• the matching speed;
• the available chat modes;
• the browser interface;
• the Next process;
• general connection quality.

The exact free-match balance is shown in the interface. Randomegle is free to start rather than an unlimited free service, and a first free video call costs nothing.

That keeps free-to-start access clearly separate from continued paid use.

What Happens After Free Matches?

After the introductory balance has been used, users can decide whether to continue.

Coins

With coins, you get flexible access to supported paid functions. They may apply to further matching, private interaction, gifts or other enabled features.

VIP

VIP is designed for regular users who want broader access or additional benefits.

Before purchasing, the interface should clearly display:

• price;
• included features;
• validity period;
• renewal terms;
• cancellation conditions.

Browse Online Users Instead of Matching Randomly

Some users prefer more context before beginning a conversation.

The online-user area lets you browse available profiles. A profile may include a nickname, region, interests, status, photos or video content, depending on what the person has chosen to share.

You can dip into online users alongside random matching instead of choosing one or the other.

Random matching is faster. Profile browsing gives more choice.

Continue Through Private Chat

When a random conversation goes well, private chat may allow the interaction to continue.

Private chat can support:

• text messaging;
• message translation;
• profile access;
• virtual gifts;
• other enabled interactions.

You would move there to keep talking with someone, rather than for anonymous first contact.

How Message Translation Works

Chat translation helps users communicate through text when they use different languages.

For clearer results:

• keep sentences relatively short;
• avoid local slang;
• avoid spelling that depends heavily on sound;
• ask for clarification when a sentence appears incorrect;
• do not rely on translation for legal, financial or emergency information.

Automated translation supports conversation but does not replace human understanding.

How Safety Controls Work

Next

Use Next to leave the current random match and search again.

Block

Use block when you do not want another person to contact or appear to you again, subject to the product’s implementation.

Report

Use report when conduct may break the platform rules. Include accurate information when you report a user so the moderation process can understand what occurred.

Leave

Close the conversation immediately when you feel pressured or unsafe.

Take a few minutes in the Safety Center before your first chat so these controls are familiar when you actually need them.

Device and Connection Requirements

Randomegle works best when the device has:

• a current compatible browser;
• functioning camera and microphone for video;
• microphone access for audio;
• a stable internet connection;
• enough light for the camera;
• no other application exclusively using the camera.

When video quality drops, the system may reduce image quality to help maintain the conversation.
