OmeTV alternative: what a report sends
By HearMe Chat · Last updated
OmeTV is a video chat that calls itself an Omegle alternative. By its own pages, read in November 2026, it matches you with random people worldwide, lets you choose a country, set your gender or use a Couple mode, and links to Google Play and the App Store. HearMe Chat is for people who want the stranger and not the camera: text or a mic-only call, with a nickname, for adults 18 and over.
What a report carries
As of November 2026, OmeTV's rules say that when you report someone, its moderators receive a screenshot of the other person's video and any message they sent. They also say a moderator decides whether someone is banned, that moderators watch complaints at all hours, and that its system bans users who receive multiple complaints in a short time.
HearMe Chat has no video to capture. A report on its website sends up to the last 60 seconds of the other side's audio, only when you tap Report, and a person reviews it. The clip is deleted after 7 days unless it is kept as evidence.
OmeTV alternative at a glance
- Text chat, or a mic-only voice call with one stranger.
- No video, and no camera permission to grant.
- On the website, a call report sends audio, not a picture.
- Free with no daily limit. A nickname starts you.
- 18+ only, self-declared at the start.
Two ways of stating the age
As of November 2026, OmeTV's terms say you must be at least eighteen, or the legal age where you live if that is higher. Its rules say the service can only be used by adults as per their country's legal age.
HearMe Chat uses one age everywhere: 18 and over, as a self-declared answer at the start. Someone who answers under 18 is blocked on that browser or app for 7 days. Self-declared means we do not check it.
Text chat
One stranger at a time, typed. Add up to 5 interests and we look for someone who shares one, or one from the same group, for 20 seconds, then match you with anyone.
Voice chat
A mic-only call with one stranger. The site does not ask for a camera. Calls are not recorded, but a report made on the website sends up to the last 60 seconds.
Games
4 two-player games in one-to-one text chats: tic-tac-toe, rock paper scissors, four in a row, and dots and boxes.
Couple mode and friends
OmeTV's home page lists choosing a country, setting a gender, or a Couple mode with a friend. Its FAQ says video chat is free with no limits on how long you talk, that signing in adds features like profiles and friends, and that it offers no gender-specific filters.
HearMe Chat has no Couple mode. Interest tags are free for everyone, up to 5. The gender filter (text: any Premium plan; voice: Plus) and the country filter (Plus only) are Premium. A free account adds friends and direct messages.
