Frequently asked questions about safety, technology, and usage.

Safety & Privacy

How is Omigo distinct from older platforms?
Unlike unmoderated legacy platforms, Omigo uses a hybrid approach. We employ AI visual scanning to detect inappropriate content in real-time, combined with a robust community reporting system. Bad actors are banned efficiently to keep the environment friendly.
Do you record my video chats?
No. We use Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. The video stream flows directly from your device to your partner's device. We do not have servers that record or store your private video conversations.

Technical Support

My camera isn't working. What do I do?
1. Check if another app (like Zoom or Teams) is using the camera.
2. Click the lock icon in your browser address bar and ensure "Camera" permission is allowed.
3. Refresh the page.
I'm getting stuck on "Connecting to network..."
This usually happens if your firewall is blocking the P2P connection. Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data to test. If you are on a school or work network, they may be blocking WebRTC connections.

Community

How do I report a user?
In the video chat interface, you will see a flag icon or a "Report" button. Click it immediately if a user violates our terms. This alerts our system and helps ban the user from communicating with others.
Can I use Omigo on my phone?
Yes! Omigo is built as a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can use it in Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android) and even install it to your home screen for a full app experience without visiting the App Store.

Omigo Party

What is Omigo Party?
Omigo Party is group video chat on Omigo. Create a party, share the invite link with friends, then tap Find Stranger so everyone in the room talks to the same person at once. Up to 5 people can join one Omigo Party.
How do I start Omigo Party?
On the Omigo homepage tap Create Party. Share the link (native share, WhatsApp, or copy). When friends have joined, the leader taps Find Stranger. No sign-up is required.
Can an Omigo Party join another party?
No. Omigo Party matches a group of friends with one stranger at a time. Two parties cannot merge. Share your own Omigo Party link so friends join your room.
