A random voice chat on StrangerLine: a phone showing a microphone and sound waves, with a person in headphones laughing

Good to know

Three things before you put your headphones on.

Mic only

Your browser asks for the mic after you tap start. The camera stays off.

Works anywhere

Phone, tablet or desktop, in the browser. Headphones help, but aren't required.

Free to start

Your first voice chats are free. Some features cost money later; you'll see the price first.

How It Works

Four steps from tapping start to a real conversation.

  1. 1

    Tap Start Voice Chat

    Allow the mic when your browser asks. The camera is never requested.

  2. 2

    We find someone to talk to

    Someone who's online and picked voice too. Put your headphones on while you wait.

  3. 3

    Just talk

    You hear each other live, nothing else. Start with a question and let it go where it goes.

  4. 4

    Next, or keep going

    Not your kind of person? Tap Next. Good talk? Stay on, and message each other afterwards.

Why Try Voice Chat?

Talk without being seen

For the days you want to talk to strangers but not be on screen. Messy room, no makeup, lying in bed: none of it matters when all they hear is your voice.

Faster than typing, lighter than video

A voice chat moves at the speed of talking. You hear tone and laughter, you interrupt, you change the subject. More alive than text, less demanding than video.

Good for practicing a language

Real pronunciation, real pace, real slang, and no face to read your nerves off.

What you can do during a voice chat

Small things that make talking to a stranger comfortable.

  • Next in one tap

    Move on to someone new the moment you feel like it.

  • Mute yourself

    Mic off for a second when something comes up on your end.

  • Switch to video

    If you both want to see each other, move the same chat to a video call.

  • Messages with auto-translation

    Type alongside the call. Messages can be translated automatically if you don't share a language.

  • Message after the call

    Send a message once the call ends and keep the conversation alive.

  • Report and block

    Report anyone who breaks the rules from inside the chat. You won't be matched with them again.

Random voice chat questions

What is random voice chat?

An audio-only way to meet someone new. Tap Start Voice Chat and you're connected with someone who's online right now. You talk through your mic, your camera stays off, and you can move on to the next person any time.

Do I need a camera for voice chat?

No. Voice chat uses only your mic. Your browser asks for the mic after you tap start and never asks for the camera.

Is the voice chat recorded?

No. We don't record voice chats.

Can I switch to video later?

Yes. If you both want to see each other, move the same chat to a video call from inside the chat. Want even less exposure? Text chat lets you type without camera or mic.

Do I need headphones?

No, but they help. They stop your speaker from feeding back into your mic, so the other person hears you more clearly.

Say hello with your voice

No camera, free to start.
