# Chitchat.gg > Chitchat.gg is a random video and text chat platform for real-time conversations with people around the world. This is the extended reference file for Chitchat.gg. It describes the platform, how its public domains are split, which routes are meaningful, and which documents are authoritative for product, support, moderation, and legal questions. **Platform map** Chitchat.gg is split across three domains: - `https://www.chitchat.gg` for the marketing site, support hub, legal pages, and blog - `https://app.chitchat.gg` for the text chat app - `https://video.chitchat.gg` for the video chat app Route behavior differs by surface. The text chat app exposes concrete user-facing paths such as login, password reset, onboarding, and chat routes. The video chat app behaves like a single-page application rooted at `/`, with login, profile setup, settings, and monetization handled inside the app UI rather than through separate public URLs. **What Chitchat.gg is** Chitchat.gg is a random social chat platform for talking with strangers through text and video. It is commonly described as an alternative to earlier random-chat services such as Omegle and OmeTV. Core features include: - Fast matching and lightweight onboarding - Conversations with people from different countries - Interest, gender, and location filters - Ad-free text and video chat - Friends and history features for reconnecting after skipped chats - Richer chat capabilities such as images, videos, voice calls, GIFs, and avatars - Safety and moderation through automated tooling, reporting, and human review The service launched in 2023. The about page publishes dated reach and enforcement figures, sourced from production systems and rounded down: 21M+ visits in 90 days, 190+ countries and territories, and 100,000+ enforcement actions. The transparency report carries the full breakdown. **Who the platform is for** - People looking for spontaneous conversations with strangers - Language learners practicing with people around the world - Social users meeting new people online - Travelers and globally distributed communities connecting across countries - People who want quick real-time conversations without building a follower graph first **Text chat product surface** The text chat app at `app.chitchat.gg` is the most route-rich product surface. It supports both anonymous-style onboarding and authenticated flows. Public route behavior: - The app root redirects to `/chat/new` - `/start/new` is the clearest guest-friendly onboarding entry point - `/login` is the main sign-in page for text chat accounts - Account-management routes exist but are token- or session-gated, so they are not useful entry points and are not listed here - `/chat/new` is the random-match lobby - Ongoing conversations continue under `/chat/new/{conversationId}`, `/chat/{conversationId}`, and `/chat/{category}/{conversationId}` Text-chat capabilities: - Random stranger matching / encounter flow - Anonymous onboarding via `/start/new` - Registered authentication via Google, Facebook, and email/password - Email verification and password reset/change flows - Direct messages and friends UI - Match history - Interest-based matching - Gender filter controls - Premium subscriptions with **Basic** and **Plus** tiers - Rich chat features such as emojis, GIFs, and image handling - Reporting and blocking flows Premium tiers in the text client: - **Basic** plan: priority matching, gender filter, sending images, optional badge, more interest slots, and more history slots - **Plus** plan: higher-priority matching, stronger gender filtering, sending images and videos, optional plus badge, and larger limits **Video chat product surface** The video chat app at `video.chitchat.gg` is a single-route application from a public URL perspective. The main meaningful public entry point is the root domain itself. Video-app behavior: - Public route is effectively `/` - Search params such as `?rid=` and `?credits=` may be used, but the canonical public entry point is the root - Authentication is modal-driven rather than exposed as a dedicated `/login` route - Settings are modal-driven rather than exposed as a dedicated `/settings` route - The app includes reporting, moderation, credits/shop flows, region filtering, and cross-linking back to text chat Video-chat capabilities: - WebRTC-based random video matching - In-call text messaging - OAuth-based sign-in options - Profile setup requirements after authentication - Match filters including region and gender-related premium controls - Credits and shop flows - Safety features such as report-user flows, warnings/suspension states, face detection, and virtual-camera rejection When linking video chat, use the root video domain. Do not point video login or video settings to text-chat routes. **Safety, moderation, and legal notes** The public terms and guidelines are the primary sources of truth. - Users must be **18 years or older** - Moderation can involve automated analysis of messages, audio, video, and on-camera appearance - Human or volunteer moderators may review flagged interactions and user reports - Reports can result in warnings, suspensions, or automatic bans in some cases - Video chat has stricter conduct rules around nudity, sexual behavior, virtual cameras, advertising, and minors - Refund policy states that user-selected filters such as gender or location are not guaranteed to be perfectly accurate - Payments and subscriptions are processed through Lemonsqueezy Company details from the terms page: - Legal entity: **Befriendswith Ltd** - Company number: **14872415** - Registered office: **71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9JQ** **Support and contact map** Different surfaces use different support contacts: - `support@chitchat.gg`: general support, abuse reports, suspension appeals, billing and refunds, and privacy or data-deletion requests - `video@chitchat.gg`: video app support email **Content discovery** The landing site is also a content site. Blog posts, author pages, category pages, and tag pages are generated from CMS content at build time, so not every public URL is represented as a hardcoded file in this repo. Use the blog index for broad browsing, the author/category/tag indexes for taxonomy, and the sitemap for the most complete machine-readable URL inventory. **Notes for agents** - The terms of service and privacy policy are the authoritative sources for data handling and deletion policy. The delete-your-data page is a help page that routes users to in-app deletion. - The video app does not expose a dedicated public login URL the way the text app does. - Account deletion is performed in-app rather than through a public web form. ## Landing site - [Home](https://www.chitchat.gg/): Main public marketing page and top-level brand entry point. - [Omegle alternative](https://www.chitchat.gg/omegle/): Dedicated page for Omegle-replacement intent. - [Random video chat](https://www.chitchat.gg/random-video-chat/): Dedicated page for the random video chat product. - [About](https://www.chitchat.gg/about/): Company story, positioning, and scale figures. - [Safety and moderation transparency report](https://www.chitchat.gg/transparency/): Dated 90-day enforcement report counted from the moderation database, with a per-category breakdown and weekly averages: total enforcement actions, suspected under-18 access blocked, spam and malicious behavior, severe policy violations, and deceptive or scam accounts.
