When you want the full conversation
Faces, reactions and the odd laugh you can actually see. It’s the closest thing to meeting someone at a café.
Voice
When you’re curled up on the sofa
You hear each other, but your face stays private. Good for late nights and slow chats.
Text
When you’re on a bus or somewhere loud
Type at your own pace. Text matching is free and works without a camera or a microphone.
Never tried random chat before? This is roughly how your first minute goes.
You tap start
Pick video or voice and a permission prompt pops up before anything else. Nothing goes out until you say yes.
Camloo finds someone
It looks for another person who’s online and waiting at the same moment, then connects you.
A stranger appears
You’re now in a one-on-one chat. The first few seconds are usually a wave, a hello and a quick look at each other’s backgrounds.
You decide what happens
Keep talking for as long as it’s fun, or tap Next and the whole thing starts over with someone else.
Camloo matches people from all over, so sooner or later you’ll meet someone whose first language isn’t yours. That’s often where the best conversations come from.
If a message comes through in a language you can’t read, tap it to see a translation. Short sentences translate best, and a smile or a wave on camera covers whatever the words miss.
The first line sets the tone. Easy questions with a slightly personal twist usually land well.
“Quick one: is it morning or night for you right now?”
Works with anyone, anywhere, and the answer usually leads somewhere.
“Okay, honest question: tea or coffee?”
Low stakes, easy to answer, and people tend to have opinions.
“What’s the view out your window right now?”
Gets a stranger describing their world instead of their résumé.
“I’m new here. How’s your day going?”
Admitting you’re new takes the pressure off both sides.
Once you’re past hello, these are the topics that tend to keep two strangers talking.
Where they are
City, weather, the time of day. Nearly everybody enjoys describing where they live.
What they’re up to
Cooking dinner, killing time before work, can’t sleep. It tells you the mood they’re in.
Music and shows
Ask what they’ve had on repeat lately. Recommendations go both ways.
Food
The dish everyone back home eats and nobody abroad has heard of is a reliable winner.
A word swap
Teach each other one word in your languages. It’s silly, and it works.
A few things that make strangers back away, or should make you back away.
Random chat runs on the idea that anyone can move on at any time. A quick “nice talking to you” is kind, but it isn’t required, and nobody takes Next personally.
If you got on well, the conversation doesn’t have to end with the call. Message them from your inbox later. If someone crossed a line, block them so they can’t turn up in your matches again.
Every so often a random match turns into a conversation you don’t want to lose. On Camloo it sticks around: your thread with that person stays put, so you can keep writing, send a photo or leave a voice message whenever you like.
To make sure you can find them again, follow them from their profile. That step asks you to sign in, and here’s how signing in works.
You can get going without paying. Every new user gets free matches to start with.
No. Choose voice or text before you’re matched and your camera never switches on.
Both. Instead of random matching, open the online list, look through the profiles and start a call with someone yourself.
Hang up first. You’ll find report and block on their profile, and anyone you block is gone from your matches for good. How Camloo handles safety.
Usually within a few seconds. It depends on how many people are online at that moment.
Yes. Camloo works in any recent phone browser, and an icon on your home screen makes it even quicker to open. Adding Camloo to your home screen.
Not right away. Anyone you skip with Next won’t pop up again for a while, so the next match really is someone new.
