The first call is the hardest
If you are searching for a Chatki alternative, there is a good chance you have never done this before, or not for a while. Wanting to talk to a stranger and feeling a bit nervous about it often go together.
Roulettly is built so that the first call can be a small one. The free chat needs no account, and the only thing it asks for is your camera.
Everything here is about Roulettly. This page does not talk about any other service.
Set up a first call you will feel fine about
Four steps on the first screen, all of them quick.
Turn on my camera
You see your own preview before you start. Fix the light, check the background, take a breath.
Add a few interests
In "What you are into", a few words help put you in front of someone who shares your tastes, which gives you something to talk about. Left empty, matching stays fully random.
Choose a nickname if you want one
It is optional. A nickname can be a comfortable way to introduce yourself.
Press Start
Say hello, smile, ask a simple question. Nobody expects a speech.
Next is your easy exit
Not every call clicks, and that is normal. Press Next and the search starts again, with nothing to explain. Using it is not rude, and it is the reason this format works.
If someone makes you uncomfortable, Report and Block are there too. See our safety page for the details.
Two guides to read first
Our short guide on random video chat etiquette covers greetings, pacing and how to end a call gracefully. If the camera is what worries you, shy on camera? talking to strangers has practical advice.
The how it works page shows the whole flow, from the first screen to the first Next.
Language and company
The interface comes in 20 languages. Matching gives priority to someone who speaks your language, and connects you with someone else if nobody is available in it. The country flag of each person shows during the call, a handy first topic.
Roulettly is for adults aged 18 and over. Before you start, you tick "I am 18 or older and I accept" the terms.
