Chat roulette for communicating with strangers – from carefree conversations to fateful meetings

To date, dating on the Internet has become absolutely commonplace. But it wasn't always that way. Until relatively recently, it was difficult to imagine the possibility of literally a few clicks to contact a person from another country or continent, communicate via video link and not pay fabulous money.



Technology has made a huge leap forward in recent decades. In 1980, the Internet had only 25 small networks. In 1995, there were more than 44,000 such networks in 160 countries. At this time, about 50 million new users were connected to the World Wide Web annually. According to DataReportal’s Digital 2022 Global Statshot, more than 5 billion people worldwide use the Internet. That’s about 63% of the world’s population. This number is likely to increase in the near future. But let’s move away from statistics and move on to our main topic!

With the development of technology, users received a huge variety of communication tools in the Network - social networks, instant messengers, thematic forums, sites, dating applications and, of course, random video chats, which are also called chat roulettes.

Random chat roulette is a site or application whose main function is to connect random users via video. Here you can not choose the interlocutor, but only specify some of his parameters to “help” the system to make a better choice. And it was amazing how people liked it!

The history of chat roulette begins in 2009, when the first such platforms – Omegle and Chatroulette – were launched. Both services became extremely popular in a short period of time, although they were not perfect. Both suffered from mediocre moderation and lack of convenient filters to find interlocutors. Therefore, it is logical that very soon began to appear numerous alternatives from other developers. Many managed to really bring something of their own to the format of chat roulette.



A good example of such a platform for communication is chat roulette with girls. CooMeet. On the one hand, this is a classic chat roulette, familiar to everyone who at least once used this format of communication. On the other hand, CooMeet offers several important features:

  1. Unmistakably working gender filter, thanks to which CooMeet connects men only with girls.
  2. Easy mobile apps for iOS and Android for even more comfortable communication.
  3. Quality moderation and customer support, working 24/7.
  4. Built-in translator of messages, allowing you to communicate with foreigners.
  5. Own affiliate program that gives you the opportunity to earn real money for inviting new participants.





Of course, CooMeet is far from the only random roulette chat game worthy of attention. We can offer some other good alternatives:

  1. Chatroulette was the first video chat roulette game in history, which gathered tens of millions of users daily. The site is still working, although it is not as popular as before.
  2. Tinychat is a very popular video streaming platform. Tinychat is not the best way for dating, but stream lovers will highly appreciate this platform. Search for streamers that are not far from you.
  3. Bazoocam is a fairly popular random video chat service that has been running since 2011. There are no unique features here, but there are simple online mini-games that help diversify communication with strangers. Plus, Bazoocam has a built-in streaming platform.
  4. Tango is a streaming app for online dating and communication. Tango has more than 400 million active users worldwide. Among other things, the application allows you to earn real money on video streams.
  5. Chatous is a mobile chat roulette for iOS and Android, where you can meet random people via video link, add them to your friends list, share text messages and media files. Hashtags can be used as search filters. It's very convenient.
  6. Chatrandom is a random chat roulette with gender and language filters, as well as interest-based search. But special attention deserves a section with thematic chat rooms, where you can get acquainted and communicate with many like-minded people at once.





Video chats give you the opportunity to abandon the classic dating services, the use of which for many people has already become a daily routine. Forget about endless swipes and hours of profile research. You do not need to fill in and constantly update account data, upload photos, creatively talk about yourself to attract attention to your person and so on. In chat roulette, you press the “Start” button, and the system in a couple of moments already selects a new interlocutor for you. It's simple, accessible and fast!

Of course, this format is also not without drawbacks. There are still many Internet trolls in video chats and not quite adequate users. Some sites are full of intrusive advertising. Others provide access to all functionality only for money. But it is objectively still a great format for those who want to make new acquaintances, find friends or even meet their love online.



How realistic is it to find love in a video chat? Of course it is! On the Internet, a huge number of romantic, interesting, and sometimes funny stories about how people met in chat roulette and as a result, this random meeting turned into a serious strong relationship. For example, we can share the story of Sarah Dill, a graduate of the New York Fashion Institute of Technology.
Sarah shared her story in Cosmopolitan magazine.

According to the girl, once she was just in the dorm room with a friend and she offered to chat with someone in Chatroulette. Sarah herself had never been to this site before and had no special expectations. Among the casual interlocutors came across a variety of people – a drunk guy with a British accent, strange dancing men and the like. But at one point they met a nice young guy with a guitar named Ben.

53811.

A conversation began that lasted three hours. Sarah and Ben exchanged contacts on Facebook. First they communicated by correspondence, then began to call daily on Skype, and a month later Ben traveled more than 3,000 miles to meet Sarah live. The meeting was truly fateful, and the lovers became a couple.

And this is just one of many examples of how random chat roulette brings together people who otherwise would not be physically able to meet. Therefore, if someone tells you that such a format is absolutely not suitable for serious and promising dating, do not listen to this person. Maybe anything!
