Made for chatting in the UK

Wotcha is a British random chat site. The name is old London slang for “hello”, and that's the idea: say wotcha to someone you'd never otherwise meet.

Turn on the UK-only option to keep it local, or leave it off to meet people from anywhere. Add a few interests, like football, gaming or baking, and Wotcha tries to match you with someone who likes the same things.

How it works

1. Tick that you are 18 or over and agree to the rules.

2. Pick video chat or text chat.

3. You're matched with a random stranger, with an icebreaker question to get you going.

4. Not clicking? Press Esc or Skip to meet someone new.

Free, no sign-up, nothing saved

There's no account to make and nothing to download. Chats aren't stored unless someone reports one, and video goes directly between you and the other person.
