The full random chat
Camera on, face to face with a stranger somewhere in the world. This is the default door — allow your camera when the browser asks and you are in.
Random chat: the dice roll that talks back.
No profiles to swipe, no feed to scroll. A random chat pairs you with one stranger, one-on-one — and how you talk is up to you: video, voice or text. Free to start, right in your browser.

Three doors in — you pick before you match
Random chat, voice only
Want the conversation without being on camera? Pick voice mode before matching and it is just two voices, live. Same strangers, less stage fright.
Random chat, typed
For the moments you cannot talk out loud. Choose text mode before you are matched and the whole chat happens in writing — still random, still one-on-one.
How random is random?
Random means no profile to judge
Nobody picks you from a photo grid and you pick nobody. The match is a clean dice roll — you meet the person, not their profile.
Random means no algorithm learning you
There is no feed being trained on your taste. Every tap is independent: the next stranger is not “more of the same”, it is genuinely the next one.
Random means the whole world
Matches come from every time zone. One chat is a student between classes, the next is someone on the other side of the planet after midnight.
Random, but never stuck
A bad roll lasts exactly as long as you want it to. One tap skips to a brand-new stranger — free, instant, no explanation owed.

Random chat — FAQ
A random chat pairs you with a stranger you did not choose, for a one-on-one conversation — on video, by voice, or by text. There is no friend request and no profile browsing: you tap once, the dice roll, and you are talking to someone new.
On Thundr it is free to start — opening the site and getting matched costs nothing up front. Some longer sessions and premium extras use coins, and anything paid is labeled before you use it.
Yes. Video is the default and needs camera permission, but you can pick voice mode or text mode before you are matched. The choice is made at the start, so you are never surprised by your own camera.
No. Thundr runs in the browser with no account and no email. Open the page, allow your camera if you chose video, and your first random chat starts. Close the tab and nothing follows you.
The honest answer: it depends on the exits. Look for an instant skip, mute you control, and a working report route. On Thundr, skip and mute are on the chat screen, report and block live on the other person’s profile, and moderation runs around the clock. Never share personal details with strangers.
Genuinely random people — that is the point. Students, night owls, people killing twenty minutes, from every time zone. You cannot filter who shows up, but you can always skip to the next person in one tap.
