Chatroulette has been online since 2009, but a decade and a half of unmoderated anonymous video has left it with a reputation problem most users would rather avoid. Simpelweb is built differently — same instant connections to strangers, but with real moderation and a community that wants to keep it clean.
18+ · 18+ · No credit card · No email required · Start in seconds
Every session passes through automated nudity and harassment detection. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours by a real human, not a queue that never gets read.
Sign up takes 30 seconds — no email, no phone, just a username. Enough accountability to deter bad actors, none of the friction that kills spontaneity.
Your data stays in Europe under GDPR. We don't sell, we don't track, we don't have ads. You can delete your account in one click.
Match by language, country, and shared interests — not just the first connection that comes through. English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish.
Chatroulette's anonymous, no-account model made it explode in popularity in 2010 — and it's the same model that made it a place most people don't recommend in 2026. We took a different bet: lightweight accounts (no email needed) plus active AI-assisted moderation give you 95% of the spontaneity with a fraction of the safety problems.
The core experience is the same: connect to a random stranger over video, swipe to skip, talk to whoever's next. The difference is what happens behind the scenes — moderation, account-based reporting, and a community that actually cares about it being usable.
No. The core platform is completely free. We're working on optional premium features (gender filter, unlimited matches), but the basic random video chat will always be free.
We're EU-based with strict GDPR compliance, fully multilingual from day one, and our moderation pipeline is open about what it does (NudeNet for image classification, profanity filtering in five languages, human review on every report).
Anything with a modern browser and a webcam — desktop, laptop, tablet, phone. No app to install.
Yes. One tap during a session, and a moderator reviews within 24 hours. Repeat offenders are banned and re-registration is detected via fingerprinting.
Free, no card, no email. Just a username and you're in.
