Start random chatPaltalk and Stranger Talk: how they differ
Paltalk describes itself as a community of video chat rooms organised by topic, available as an app and on the web. Stranger Talk is text only and runs in the browser without a download or account. Besides rooms, you can be matched one-on-one with a random stranger. Stranger Talk is an independent site, not part of Paltalk. Features on other sites change, so check Paltalk's own site for its latest.
Text only, no camera
Nobody sees your face or hears your voice. You only share what you type.
One person at a time
Random chat pairs you with one stranger. Tap Next whenever you like.
No sign-up
No email, password or phone number. Confirm you are 18+ and start.
