Omegle is a place for strangers from all over the world to meet each other, share their stories, and make fleeting connections. While the site can sometimes be great for this, it often doesn't live up to these lofty goals, so don't put too much stock in anything that happens on Omegle. Because Omegle users are anonymous, they often don't hold their behavior to very high standards note that this is a well-observed trend in online communities. If you get insulted, called names, or creeped out, don't sweat it — just end the call! Don't type or display identifying information. As with any sort of anonymous online experience, it's important to take basic precautions to protect your identity on Omegle. Never share your real name, location, or personal information with a stranger on Omegle, even if you've had a friendly conversation with this person. You have no way of knowing who's really chatting with you, so play things safe and stay anonymous yourself. This includes financial information, identifying documents, visible landmarks, address information, and so on. Avoid obscenity in non-adult chat. Omegle has designated sections for adult chat, so if this is why you want to use Omegle, keep your adult content in the sections where it's permitted. Don't type sexually explicit material in the text chat window or display it on your video feed. This type of behavior isn't just contrary to the spirit of Omegle's non-adult sections, but also inconsiderate of other users, who won't want to see it if they did, they would be in the adult sections. Be kind to newbies. Omegle is for everyone — even people who don't know what they're doing. Now that you're an Omegle pro, take the opportunity to help other users who don't know their way around the site. When in doubt, don't be afraid to disconnect.
