Since Chatroulette is a 100% copycat of Omegle, or maybe it’s the other way around, all the features are the same. However, verifying phone numbers before continuing to spool through groups of strangers ready to chat is different on Chatroulette than Omegle. Moreover, you are forced to allow access to your camera and microphone when you first enter the site – putting you dead smack in the middle of the action. Can you say ‘Big Brother’? Omegle only requires instant video broadcasting if you go to the Unmoderated Section and press ‘Video’.
If you are an extrovert who loves to talk with people from around the world, then you’re in luck. Although you can do this on Omegle, what you cannot see is their locations. However, on Chatroulette, you can see details about their location (name of country or state if they are in the USA).
For example, I talked to a ‘homey’ from Papua, and some young lads from Russia who wanted me to ship them a pack of BubbleYum (Apparently, they like American snacks?).
Unfortunately, Chatroulette has flushed down the drain over the years. Most cam videos are endless streams of weiner jackers with no filter.
