Today’s article will focus mainly on how to use the Omegle video chatting platform on an Android device efficiently using a Browser. You do not need to download the mobile app of this video chat platform; it may not run very well on your device and may contain Bugs. However, because this is a utility and exciting app for making anonymous video chats, we are pleased to show you how to make use of it effectively on mobile devices. This tutorial will be somewhat versatile; we may touch other apps too, not just about Omegle.
But, before moving on to discuss/share how you can video chat through the Omegle platform. First, we should let you know what the platform is all about and what its features are. Almost all social media platform now offer/allow video messages or chats. So, why do you think about using Omegle? Well, we are going to explain that right now.
What is Omegle Video Chat?
The Omegle you have hearing people talk about or we are trying to review this article is a platform where you are allowed to chat with strangers anonymously. Didn’t get what we meant? Let’s break it down; the Omegle platform connects you to video chat with any other random user of its platform. You’ll be able to meet & make new friends from diverse locations all over the world.
It is an exciting platform anyway, yeah, fascinating. You met a total stranger in the platform, connect with him/her, chat, and communicate with each other without revealing your real identity. You’re entirely anonymous on Omegle!
Here’s a tip to use this platform – create a private room with a secret code, then, share the code or link with any stranger you wish to call.
Features of Omegle video chat
The chats are entirely anonymous; unless you reveal your real identity to the person you’re chatting with, he/she will never get to know you. On the other hand, you will never get to know the real identity of the person you’re chatting with unless they reveal it to you. It’s just for fun – engage people in a private, nasty chat and get away anytime you want. Yes, you can end the conversation at any point in time.
Note: Rumors have it that predators also use Omegle, so, you have to careful and do NOT disclose your real identity freely or without a cause.
Alternatively, you can define your interests so that Omegle will look for people in line with your attention instead of just picking a random user.
How to video chat with Omegle
On Android devices Omegle does not work efficiently; you cannot use video chat with the default APK app for Android, you can only send text chats. So what do I gain if I don’t video chat with Omgle, I mean, that’s the actual reason I got the app? Well, we have a solution for that.

Good.
Thank you for your feedback…:)
Ok, but here is the thing. On my Android phone, I accidentally denied the permissions, and now when I go on Omegle again, it won’t offer to enable the camera and microphone.
Clear cache in the browser or try in Incognito mode.
I tried and it still won’t allow me to 🙁
Use the latest Puffin browser and enable the Desktop site option.
Ok. I did everything you said but now its saying Error with the camera: Could not start audio source. What do I do? Also, yes, I already accepted all the permissions.
Check with Browser permissions in App settings.
