Community Guidelines

OmegleLife puts you in a chat with someone you've never met, and most of what makes that fun depends on both of you being decent to each other. These guidelines say what's allowed in text chat and video chat, and what gets people banned. They're part of our Terms of Service, and they apply the same way to free and Premium users.

Adults only

Everyone on OmegleLife must be 18 or older. If you're under 18, leave now. If you meet someone who seems to be under 18, end the chat and report them with the "Minor (under 18)" reason. We ban accounts and devices linked to minors, and we treat any sexual contact with a minor as a crime that we report to the authorities.

Keep it clothed and non-sexual

OmegleLife has no adult section. Don't show nudity or sexual acts on camera, and don't send sexual images, videos or messages. That includes "accidental" camera angles, sexual requests and asking someone to undress. Don't sexualise the person you're talking to, even as a joke.

If someone does this to you, press Stop and report them with the "Nudity / sexual content" reason.

Treat people with respect

You'll meet people with different politics, religions, accents and opinions. Disagreeing is fine. These are not:

• harassment, insults or bullying, including continuing after someone asks you to stop;
• hate speech or attacks based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar traits;
• threats of violence, or encouraging someone to hurt themselves;
• showing gore, cruelty to animals or real violence.

If a chat isn't working for you, press Stop. You never owe a stranger a conversation.

No scams, spam or selling

Don't use OmegleLife to advertise, sell anything, or push people to other apps, websites, channels or paid services. Don't ask strangers for money, gift cards, crypto, payment details, passwords or login codes. Don't post the same message over and over.

Links that free users send show up as plain text, and our keyword filter blocks or masks some words. If you work around those tools to spam people, we'll ban you.

Sextortion is a scam where someone records you on video, then demands money to keep the recording private. Any attempt at it means a permanent ban, and we'll help the police if they ask. The Safety Center explains what to do if it happens to you.

Respect privacy

• Don't record, screenshot or stream other people and post the result without their permission.
• Don't share anyone's personal details, such as their full name, address, phone number, workplace, school or social media accounts. That covers details you learned in a chat.
• Don't pretend to be a real person you aren't, or claim to work for OmegleLife.

What you share about yourself is up to you, but the less personal information you give strangers, the safer you are.

Nothing illegal

Don't use the site for anything that is illegal where you or the other person live. That includes buying or selling drugs or weapons, terrorism, human trafficking, fraud, and sharing material you don't have the rights to.

Video rules

• Show your face. Free users go through a quick face check before and during video chats, which runs in your browser. If no face is visible for a while, the chat ends.
• Don't point the camera at a screen, a photo or a pre-recorded video to pass yourself off as someone else.

Premium users can skip the face check, but every other rule still applies to them.

Photos and videos in chat

Premium users can send photos and videos. The other person sees a blurred preview and decides whether to open it, and we delete the file after 24 hours. Everything on this page applies to files too. Sending sexual or violent images to someone who didn't ask for them gets you banned.

Don't game the system

• No bots, scripts or tools that automate chatting, skipping or reporting.
• Don't file false reports to get someone banned. We limit how many reports one person can file in an hour, and we give less weight to people who abuse the button.
• Don't get around a ban with a new device, network, VPN or account. If we catch it, we ban the new device or account too.

How we enforce these rules

When someone reports a chat, the chat ends for both people. We save the last 50 messages and, for video, one frame, and a moderator reviews them. Reports about minors and violence go to the front of the queue. If several different people report the same person in a short time, our system bans that person for a while without waiting for a moderator.

Depending on how serious the problem is, a ban can last anywhere from one hour to permanently. It can apply to an IP address, a device, an account or an email address. Premium doesn't protect anyone from a ban, and we don't refund Premium users we ban for breaking the rules.

Appeals

The ban screen tells you the reason category, when the ban ends and where to send an appeal. If you think we got it wrong, write to that address or to [email protected]. Tell us roughly when the ban happened and why you think it's a mistake. A person reads every appeal.

Reporting a problem

Use the Report button during a chat, or within about a minute after it ends. The other person isn't told that you reported them; they only see that the chat ended. For anything that isn't about a specific chat, such as a bug or a safety concern, email [email protected]. If someone is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
