VIDEO · VOICE · TEXT · TRANSLATION

Chat with random people from around the world
video, voice or text — translated into your language

Press the button and Veilr finds you someone to talk to, anywhere in the world. Not your kind of person? Tap “Next” and you’re straight on to someone new.

Free. You sign in with an account you already have — no password, no form to fill in. 18+ only.

Video chat

Live chat with strangers, face to face. The camera comes on before the search, and while Veilr looks for someone, you only see yourself.

Voice chat

Voice only, no camera. You can talk without showing yourself.

Text chat

Messages only. No camera and no microphone — the browser doesn’t ask for permission.

Translation

Messages from the other person arrive in your language. On a call, captions can show you what they’re saying.

FOUR STEPS

How chatting with random people works on Veilr

It’s simple: sign in, pick a mode, press the button.

Sign in and pick a mode

Sign in with an account you already have, pick a mode — video, voice or text — and press “Start search”. Veilr finds you someone from anywhere in the world.

Say hello

Start talking. If they’re not for you, tap “Next” and you’re on to someone new.

Understand each other

Different languages aren’t a problem: messages arrive in your language, and on a call you can follow what the other person says in captions.

Stay in touch

Want to stay in touch? Tap “Add to contacts”. If they tap it too, you keep each other in your contacts and can carry on chatting.

ONE SERVICE · THREE MODES

Chat with random people without a camera: voice and text. Or video, if you want

You pick the mode before the search. It doesn’t change during the conversation — the camera never comes on out of nowhere.

Voice

Voice and nothing else. You can mute your own microphone and the other person’s sound with one tap.

— Wo kommst du her?

— Where are you from?

Video

You see the other person, and what they say can be read as captions across the bottom of their video.

Translation works in every mode

Text

You write in your language, they read it in theirs. The original is one tap away.

MATCHING

Tell Veilr who you’d like to meet

You choose the gender, age and country you’re looking for. If nobody like that is online right now, the search widens, so you’re not left waiting.

Their gender

Set your own gender in your profile and you can choose the gender of the person you meet. Veilr looks for those people first — as long as someone like that is online. The other person’s choice is respected too.

Age and country

Veilr starts with an exact match. If nobody fits, the search widens instead of leaving you in the queue.

Shared interests

Shared interests make a match more likely, but they rule nobody out — you’ll be matched either way.

Boost

With Boost your choices become hard filters, and you go to the front of the queue.

PRIVACY

What is left after the conversation

A random conversation

Message → server → message

Messages from a random chat don’t go into our permanent database. The last messages stay in the server’s memory for 15 minutes after the conversation and then disappear. Those 15 minutes exist so that we can look into a report about that chat. We don’t record video or voice.

After “Add to contacts”

Add to contacts → private chat → history

If you both tap “Add to contacts”, the conversation moves into a private chat and is stored with us, so you can come back to it. Messages are encrypted in transit. We don’t have end-to-end encryption.

You can report someone right from the chat.

What makes Veilr different

Azar

The idea is one you already know: one button and “Next”. The difference is the people and the language — they come from all over the world, their messages reach you in your own language, and on a call you can read what they say as captions.

Chatib

Here every conversation is one to one: the search picks one person for you. Choosing their gender costs nothing, and someone stays in your contacts only if you both tap “Add to contacts”.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about chatting with random people

Is this an anonymous chat? Can I use it without signing up?

The conversation is anonymous: the stranger you’re matched with doesn’t see your real name, your email address or your city. In text and voice chats they see a blurred version of your profile photo instead of a clear one; only a partner with an active Boost can reveal it, and only for themselves, for that one conversation. But you can’t skip signing in altogether: to start a search you sign in with an account you already have. There’s no password, no form to fill in and no guest mode.

Do I need Telegram? I was looking for an anonymous chat on Telegram

No, you don’t need it. Veilr runs in your browser — no bot, no channel and no messenger account.

Can I choose who I talk to — a woman or a man?

Yes, and it’s free. Set your own gender in your profile first; after that you can choose the gender of the person you meet. Veilr looks for those people first — as long as someone like that is online. If nobody is, you’re connected to someone else instead of being left waiting. The other person’s choice is respected too. With Boost your choices become hard filters and you go to the front of the queue.

Can I talk to people abroad if I don’t speak their language?

Yes — that’s what Veilr is built for. We don’t match people by language, so you can talk to anyone. Their message arrives in your language, and the original is one tap away. On a call, you can read what they say as captions when your languages differ. Every account gets a free allowance of translations, rewards top it up, and Boost lifts the limit. If translation is unavailable, the message still arrives — exactly as it was typed.

Is the chat saved?

Messages from a random chat don’t go into our permanent database. The last messages stay in the server’s memory for 15 minutes after the conversation and then disappear. Those 15 minutes exist so that we can look into a report about that chat. We don’t record video or voice. If you both tap “Add to contacts”, the conversation moves into a private chat and is stored, so you can come back to it.

Is it free?

Yes. Searching, talking and the “Next” button are free. Two things are paid: Boost, which moves you to the front of the queue, and extra caption minutes. Prices are shown by the store or the payment service and differ by country, so we don’t list them here.

What is the minimum age?

You have to be 18. Veilr is for adults only — that’s a condition of using it.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The site opens in your phone browser and the chat takes the whole screen.

How is this different from Omegle, Monkey and other random chat sites?

The idea is the same: one button and “Next”. The difference is the people and the language — they come from all over the world, their messages arrive in your language, and on a call you can read what they say as captions. Detailed comparisons, point by point, are in the index.

Can I find the same person again?

Only if you both want to. “Add to contacts” has to be tapped by both of you. If only you tap it, the other person gets a request; no contact is created and no conversation is saved until they tap it too. There’s no search for people by name or username.

Is it safe to talk to strangers here?

You always have a way out: you can report someone right from the chat, and you can block them — a blocked person isn’t shown to you again. Veilr is 18+, and the stranger you’re matched with doesn’t see your real name, your email address or your city.
