Everything a random chat site should have had

Country filter
Talk to strangers from one country or from everywhere — free, not paywalled.
Live text chat
Type alongside the video with typing indicators and delivery ticks.
Friends & recents
Keep the good ones. Add friends, message later, or press “Chat again”.

One-tap report and block, AI-assisted detection, human review, device bans.
Any device
iPhone, Android or desktop — it runs in the browser with nothing to install.
Why Blinko
The Omegle alternative without the catch

About random video chat on Blinko
Blinko is a free random video chat site that connects you with strangers around the world in a live, face-to-face call. Unlike the classic cam-roulette sites, matching is smart: pick your interests and Blinko pairs you with people who chose the same, filter by country to talk to strangers from a specific place, or turn on verified-only to skip anonymous guests.
Since Omegle closed, people have been looking for an Omegle alternative that keeps the instant one-click feel without the spam. Blinko was built for exactly that: press Start, allow your camera and you are in a video chat with a stranger in seconds; press Next to move on. Live text chat runs beside the video, and if a conversation clicks you can add the person as a friend and chat again later.
It’s free, anonymous and moderated, works on phones and desktops without an app, and is for adults 18+. Read our Safety Center to see how reports, blocks and bans work.
