Yes, Camyster is completely free and unlimited. No subscription or payment is required to chat by webcam.
Do I need to sign up to use the chat?
No. Camyster works with no signup and no account: you start the chat straight away, without giving an email address or any personal details.
Is the video chat anonymous?
Yes. You don't need to identify yourself and no personal data is required. Never share private information with a stranger.
Does chatroulette work on mobile?
Yes, Camyster runs directly in the browser on your smartphone, tablet or computer, with no app to install.
What is the minimum age to use Camyster?
The service is strictly limited to adults (18 and over).
How can I stay safe on a chatroulette?
Never share your full name, address, phone number or banking details. Skip to the next person the moment a conversation makes you uncomfortable, and report any inappropriate behavior.
How do I skip to the next person?
Just one button: click “next” to leave the current conversation and get connected with a new stranger in a split second.
Do I need a webcam?
A webcam is recommended to enjoy cam to cam, but you can also chat by text. Most encounters, however, take place on video.
What is the best alternative to Omegle?
Omegle shut down in 2023. Camyster is one of the best alternatives: free, no signup, moderated and available in 13 languages.
