Protect your children from the dangers of random video chat. Learn what platforms like Omegle did wrong and how to keep your family safe online.
VideoChatCouple is a strictly adult-only (18+) platform. Minors should NOT use this or any random video chat service. This guide is for parents to understand the dangers and protect their children.
In November 2023, Omegle closed permanently after 14 years. The founder cited the constant battle against criminal misuse of the platform, including child exploitation.
What went wrong:
This is a lesson for all platforms - including us. That's why we employ human moderators and have zero tolerance for child exploitation.
Talk to your children about online dangers without judgment. Explain that not everyone online is who they claim to be.
Enable parental controls on devices and routers. Block access to random chat sites.
Children should use computers and phones in shared spaces, not bedrooms.
Know what apps your children use. Check browser history regularly but have age-appropriate trust.
Research Omegle alternatives like ChatRoulette, OmeTV, and others. Know what your children might encounter.
