OmeTV alternative: RandomHey, free random video and text chat
OmeTV is one of the best-known random webcam chats. People look for an OmeTV alternative when they want a different feel: no followers or social features, matching by interests instead of by gender, or a separate text chat.
RandomHey is a free random chat for adults: one-to-one video or text with a stranger, in your browser, with optional interest and language matching. This page compares the two using only what OmeTV says on its own website, so you can decide which suits you.

What is OmeTV?
OmeTV is a random chat service at ome.tv. This is what its homepage said when we checked it on 23 September 2026, in summary:
- Random webcam chat with no time limits, according to its homepage.
- Lets you choose a country and your gender, or a “Couple” mode.
- Lists a built-in translation feature and a social network where you can gain followers.
How RandomHey is different
- No gender, “Couple” or country filters: you are matched on optional interests and languages, which are free for everyone.
- No followers, profiles or friend lists. When a chat ends, it ends, and nobody can find you again.
- A separate random text chat that never asks for your camera.
- Runs in the browser on phones and computers, with nothing to install.
- Reports are reviewed by people, and video is not recorded.

When OmeTV may suit you better
- You want a mobile app for iOS or Android.
- You want to choose a country or gender, or use a couple mode.
- You want built-in translation or a social network with followers.
No random chat is right for everyone. Whichever you use, never share your name, address, phone number or social media with a stranger.
Is OmeTV safe?
We cannot vouch for another service, and no random chat can guarantee your safety: you are talking to someone you do not know. Before you use OmeTV or any site like it, check that it:
- is for adults only and says how it keeps minors out;
- shows Report and Block during every chat, and explains what happens after a report;
- publishes clear rules and says how they are enforced;
- tells you what it records and keeps, and for how long;
- does not show the other person your IP address, account name or location;
- never pressures you to pay, buy coins or move to another app.
On RandomHey, Report and Block are always visible, blocks are enforced by our server, reports are read by people, and video is never recorded. What we do not have: age verification (being 18+ is self-declared) or automated video moderation. See safety features and their limits.
How to switch from OmeTV to RandomHey
