General Questions
Is StrangerBeing really free?
Yes! StrangerBeing is 100% free to use. We believe in open communication for everyone. There are no credit cards required, no hidden subscriptions, and no paywalls to start chatting.
Do I need to register?
No. We value your anonymity. You do not need to create an account, provide an email, or link any social profiles. You can start chatting instantly as a guest.
Technical Support
My camera isn't working. What do I do?
First, ensure you have allowed camera permissions in your browser. Unlike some Omegle alternatives that require apps, we run in the browser, so permissions are key. Check the lock icon in your address bar. If you are on a mobile device, make sure no other app is using the camera in the background. Refreshing the page often solves this immediately.
I keep getting disconnected. Why?
Video chat requires a stable internet connection. If you are on mobile data, try switching to Wi-Fi. Also, if you are using a VPN or proxy, it might interfere with the peer-to-peer connection. Try disabling it to see if stability improves.
Can I use StrangerBeing on my phone?
Absolutely. We are fully optimized for mobile devices, including iOS and Android. Our responsive design ensures you have a great experience whether you are on a phone, tablet, or desktop.
Safety & Privacy
Is my chat recorded?
No. We do not record your video or audio streams. Your conversations are peer-to-peer. However, please remember that the person on the other end could potentially use third-party software to record, so always be mindful of what you share and follow our Safety Guide.
How do I report a user?
If you encounter inappropriate behavior, please use the report button available in the chat interface. You should also disconnect immediately. We take reports seriously and ban users who violate our community guidelines.
Still have questions?
The best way to learn is to experience it yourself. Jump in and say hello!
