Random Video Chat — Talk to Strangers Worldwide

What is random video chat?

Random video chat is a format where the platform pairs two users into a live video call at random. There are no friend requests, no profiles to browse, no algorithmic feed — you press a button and within a second you are face to face with a real human being. Don't click? Hit "Next" and the system finds someone new. It's like having a dial that turns the entire internet into your living room.

Ruletta.live uses WebRTC, an open browser standard that allows video and audio to travel peer-to-peer, directly between the two participants. The server only helps you discover each other; it does not relay your media (except in rare NAT-traversal cases). The result: low latency, less infrastructure cost, better privacy.

How Ruletta.live works

1. Open ruletta.live in any modern browser.
2. Allow access to your camera and microphone when the browser asks.
3. Press the green "Start" button. The matching engine pairs you with another online user.
4. Talk. When you're done, press "Next" to move on, or "Stop" to leave.

No download, no plugin, no registration for anonymous calls. The site works on desktop and mobile — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.

Friends and private messages

Most random chat sites end the moment you press "Next" — the person is gone forever. Ruletta.live is different. While you're in a call, you'll see an Add friend button next to your partner's video. Tap it, and they receive a friend request popup. If they accept, you both gain a friend who you can talk to again later.

• Friends list with live online/offline status, sorted by the most recent activity.
• Private messages — open a draggable DM window by tapping a friend's card. Messages persist on the server, so closing the tab doesn't lose history.
• Unread indicator — a red dot on the Friends button and a highlight on the friend's card when there's a new message.
• The DM window floats above everything else and is movable with mouse or touch — chat while you keep meeting new people.

Friends and DM require a free account (email or Google / Yandex). Anonymous random calls don't.

Country filter

On the home screen there's a country selector. Pick a specific country to only match with users from that region — useful if you're practicing a language and want native speakers, or if you simply prefer talking to people in your time zone. Leave it on "Any" for fastest matching.

Moderation and safety

Anonymity is a feature, but unmoderated anonymity becomes a problem fast. We balance the two:

• Report button in every call. One tap captures a screenshot of the offender and sends it to the moderation panel along with the report.
• Screenshot-based moderation. Our admin sees the actual frame at the moment of the report, not just a text complaint — decisions are faster and fairer.
• IP bans, temporary (24h) or permanent. Banned users get an immediate notice with the duration.
• Rate-limited reports to prevent griefing.

Basic rules: 18+, no nudity or sexual content on camera, no harassment, no scams. Full text in our Terms of Service.

Privacy at a glance

• Anonymous calls require no registration. We don't know who you are.
• Video and audio are not recorded on our server. They go peer-to-peer between browsers.
• Screenshots are produced only by users via the Report button, for moderation purposes.
• HTTPS is enforced site-wide; the browser only allows camera access on secure pages.
• For Friends/DM accounts, your password is stored as a bcrypt hash; login uses signed JWT tokens.
