The history of chatroulette (2009-2026)

Random webcam chat has a short but eventful history. A look back at its key milestones.

The beginnings (2009-2010)

In 2009, Omegle launched random chat by text then by video. In 2010, a Russian teenager, Andrey Ternovskiy, created Chatroulette and popularised random webcam encounters worldwide.

The rise and today

Many services followed (Bazoocam, Chatrandom, Ome.tv…). After Omegle shut down in 2023, free, no-sign-up platforms like Camrumble picked up the torch.
