How to use Omegle video call on android phone

Your mental health is a priority and being alone can have a great impact. Sure, you have people on your contact list to hit up to have a conversation with. But, you would admit, talking to the same set of people loses novelty. Sometimes, you need to meet new people to form connections and talking to new people can be very exciting. Omegle is one of the most popular video chat platforms that let people find strangers to talk, chat, or video chat online. And, the best part is Omegle video calls are anonymous.

What is Omegle and Features 

Most popular video calling apps like WhatsApp, Zoom, or Google Meet offers an app, etc. So, you probably think the Omegle must be an app too. You thought wrong. Omegle is a website that allows you to connect with people online. Omegle was formerly a text chat-based website, but it introduce video calls and becomes the most popular anonymous video calling website.

So, what makes Omegle so novel then? What makes it different from the others? First off, anonymity. You and the other party will remain anonymous, especially when chatting through text or video. Secondly, you don’t need to register or pay any fees. All you have to do is visit their website, type in your interests or not, and get connected. 

If you type in your interests, Omegle will match you with someone with similar interests. If you don’t, Omegle will match you with a complete stranger. When I tried the website, I was fascinated. I especially enjoyed that you would be instantly paired with someone to chat with.

You can chat with Omegle using your go-to web browser app for android. However, you must have encountered some challenges trying to video chat as the website doesn’t play along properly with the usual popular browser for mobiles.

Fortunately, there is a solution to use the Omegle video chat feature on android phones. Trust me, this is after a lot of trial and some (by some, I mean lots) of frustration.
