Simply visit our homepage and click 'Start Random Chat'. No registration required! You'll be instantly connected with someone new from around the world. For a better experience, you can create a free account to save preferences and access additional features like interest-based matching.
Yes! ChatNow's core random chat features are completely free. You can chat with strangers, use text and video chat, and access basic matching features without paying anything. We also offer premium features for enhanced experiences, but the basic stranger chat is always free.
No download required! ChatNow works directly in your web browser on any device - desktop, tablet, or mobile. However, we also offer mobile apps for iOS and Android for a more convenient random chat experience on your phone.
ChatNow offers both random matching and filtered options. You can chat completely randomly with anyone, or use our interest filters to match with people who share similar hobbies, languages, or topics of conversation.
We use multiple safety measures: real-time content moderation, AI-powered inappropriate content detection, easy reporting and blocking tools, anonymous chat options, and 24/7 monitoring. Never share personal information like your address, phone number, or financial details with strangers.
Absolutely! You can chat completely anonymously without providing any personal information. We don't require names, emails, or phone numbers for basic random chatting. You can use a nickname or remain completely anonymous. Your privacy is our priority.
Yes, your random chat conversations are private and encrypted. We don't store chat messages permanently, and they're automatically deleted after your conversation ends. Only you and your chat partner can see your messages during the session.
Click the 'Report' button during any chat, or use the flag icon next to the user's name. You can also block users immediately. We take all reports seriously and investigate within 24 hours. Provide as much detail as possible about the inappropriate behavior.
First, check that your browser has camera and microphone permissions enabled for ChatNow. Try refreshing the page, clearing your browser cache, or switching to a different browser (Chrome works best). Make sure your camera isn't being used by another application.
This could be due to high traffic, internet connectivity issues, or browser problems. Try refreshing the page, checking your internet connection, or trying again in a few minutes. Peak hours (evenings in major time zones) may have longer wait times.
Slow loading can be caused by internet speed, browser cache, or server load. Try clearing your browser cache, closing other tabs, checking your internet speed, or switching to a different network if possible. Use Chrome or Firefox for best performance.
Video freezing is usually due to poor internet connection or high CPU usage. Close other applications, check your internet speed (minimum 1 Mbps recommended), and try lowering video quality in settings. Restart your browser if the issue persists.
With an account, you get: saved chat preferences, interest-based stranger matching, chat history (if enabled), premium features access, priority support, and the ability to reconnect with interesting people you've met. Accounts are free and enhance your random chat experience.
Interest filters help match you with strangers who share similar hobbies, languages, or topics. Select your interests in your profile, and our algorithm will prioritize connecting you with people who have similar interests, making conversations more engaging and meaningful.
Yes! Click the block button during any chat to prevent future connections with that user. Blocked users cannot contact you again through random matching, and the block is permanent unless you choose to unblock them in your settings.
Go to Settings > Chat Preferences to customize your random chat experience. You can set language preferences, age ranges, interests, and choose between text-only or video chat modes. These settings help us match you with more compatible strangers.
