FAQs

What is Thundr and why is it the best Omegle alternative for random video chat?

Thundr is a free random video chat platform that recreates the spontaneity of Omegle while adding encryption, AI moderation, and zero data-harvesting. It keeps the “click Start and talk to strangers” thrill but removes the risks, making it widely regarded as the best Omegle alternative available.

How does Thundr’s free video chat let me talk to strangers safely?

Every live video or text session is end-to-end encrypted and protected by real-time AI that instantly blocks nudity, hate speech, and spam. You can report, skip, or mute any stranger with one tap, so you enjoy free video chat without compromising safety.

How can I connect with the Thundr community or share feedback?

We love hearing from our users. Join the conversation or drop feedback through Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/thundr/) or Discord (https://discord.com/invite/JZQ9Bc7Y4j).

Is Thundr a completely free video chat, or are there hidden costs?

Thundr is free for everyone. You can start chatting with strangers instantly at no cost. Boost is an optional paid feature that enhances your match experience for 30 minutes.

What safety measures make Thundr a trusted Omegle alternative?

Alongside encryption, Thundr uses live AI moderation, 18+ age gating, encrypted sessions, and instant reporting tools to ensure chats are respectful and secure. These layers address the very issues that led to Omegle’s shutdown, positioning Thundr as the secure Omegle alternative people ask for.

How does interest-based matching improve my random video chat experience?

Add tags like gaming, music, or language exchange, and our algorithm pairs you with strangers who share the same interests. Result: less awkward small talk, faster vibes, exactly what users miss from Omegle.

Can I switch to text-only mode to talk to strangers anonymously?

Yes. You can either turn your camera off during video chat or start a text chat session. It’s flexible and great for low bandwidth or chill moods. If you choose to hide your face in video mode, you’ll be more likely matched with others who are also not showing their face.

Why might I be banned from Thundr, and how can I appeal?

Bans trigger when our system detects rule breaches - nudity, hate, spam, or under-18 use. If you believe a ban is an error, submit an appeal via the Support email; human moderators review all cases.

Which devices and speeds work best for free random video chat on Thundr?

Thundr runs smoothly on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge across desktop, Android, and iOS. Our low-latency codec delivers crisp random video chat on 4G and even patchy Wi-Fi, so you can talk to strangers from trains, cafés, or the sofa.
