Omet is live video chat built around the part everyone skips past: the talking. Use Omet online, right in your browser: start an Omet chat, meet someone face to face, open with something worth answering, and give the call a chance to become a conversation.
Omet is a live video chat platform for one-on-one conversations online. It runs at omet.live — which is why you will also see it called Omet Live — in your browser, on a phone or a laptop. A single Omet chat is a direct, face-to-face video call between two people — with a calmer interface, controls sized for a thumb, and a set of openers published on this page for the moment the conversation needs one.
Here, Omet is a name — the name of this live one-on-one video chat. One word, at omet.live.
The word does have a dictionary life of its own. In French and Catalan, omet is a form of the verb "to omit", as in il omet, "he leaves out". In older Romanian, omet meant a crowd. Both sit well with what happens here: a crowd of people you could talk to, and a product that leaves out what gets in the way of talking to one of them.
The hard part is the ninety seconds after the camera turns on, when two people who have never met are both waiting for the other one to say something real. Most video chat products answer that by making it faster to leave. Omet would rather make it easier to stay.
Omet is an online live video chat platform built for better one-on-one conversations. It puts a direct video call and a set of decent openers in the same place, and then keeps the interface quiet enough that your attention stays on the person rather than on the buttons around them.
Omet is a live video chat site, and it does the things you would expect one to do. Here is where it deliberately goes the other way.
Not "fast", "secure" and "high quality" — every site in this category writes those, which is exactly why they no longer tell you anything.
A deck of questions worth answering, right below. Take one in with you and skip the "hi / where are you from" loop entirely.
A call on Omet is you and one other person, live. No group room, no audience, no comment stream running down the side of it.
Stay while it is working, move on when it is not. Moving on and ending the call sit on the call screen itself, not three menus deep.
Large controls, readable overlays, a portrait layout — because most people arrive on a phone, not a desktop with two monitors. Video chat on your phone, and how to look and sound better on a phone video call.
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Arabic and Vietnamese — the next call is rarely from the same place as the last one.
That calls are paid is on this page, not discovered halfway through a conversation that was going well. See what it costs.
Random video chat has one universal problem: two strangers connect with nothing in common except the fact that they both pressed start. Twelve questions will not fix that on their own — but arriving with one beats arriving with "hey".
Pick one before you press start. When the call connects and the pause arrives — and it always arrives — you already have somewhere to go.
From your phone or laptop browser. There is nothing to download.
Take one from the deck above, or bring your own. Optional, but it helps.
You are live with one other person, face to face, in real time.
Keep talking while it is good, or go on to the next conversation.
What a call costs and when you find out, moving on, and reporting someone: the full walkthrough of how Omet works.
Omet is not an all-you-can-eat free service, and we would rather you knew that on the homepage than at the moment the camera turns on. Calls are paid, and each person sets their own rate — there is no single price to quote here. On a matched call, the rate appears on screen before charging starts, so you can end the call first if you want to.
You can also look at who is online first, if you would rather choose than be matched.

On this site, Omet is a name: the name of a live one-on-one video chat service at omet.live. As a dictionary word, omet is the French and Catalan form of "omits", and an old Romanian word for a crowd.
Most of them compete on how fast you can get to the next person. Omet is built around the call you are already in: the openers on this page are here so you arrive with something to say, and the interface stays out of the way while you say it.
Omet video chat is the live one-on-one calling experience at the centre of Omet — a direct video call between two people, not a group room and not a broadcast with an audience.
Open omet.live in your phone or laptop browser and press Start Video Chat — there is nothing to download and you are signed in as a guest straight away. Pick an opener from this page first if you want one ready before the call connects.
Yes, and that is the layout it was designed for first: portrait, large call controls and readable overlays. It runs in the mobile browser, so there is nothing to install.
They are conversation starters we publish on this page. Read one before you connect and take it in with you. They are not a feature inside the call and we would rather say so than imply an interface that is not there.
Omet will connect you with people you have not met, so in that sense yes. But the point of the product is not the randomness — it is what happens after the connection, which is why the whole page is about the conversation rather than the shuffle.
Live video chat should help people actually talk — not just keep clicking next.
