momos in two minutes: the browser video chat for US adults
Updated
momos is a website where adults (18+) in the United States video chat with random people for free. Sign in, press Start, and you're matched 1-on-1 with another adult who's online at the same moment. Not feeling it? Press Next and you're talking to someone new.
It runs in your web browser on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows, with nothing to install. Here's the quick tour: what's inside, how matching works, and what momos deliberately leaves out.
Try it free in your browser. 18+ only.
The 30-second version
- Free 1-on-1 video chat with random adults, matched in seconds.
- US-focused: matches within the United States by default, with options for your state or worldwide.
- Web only: works in Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox.
- Google sign-in plus your date of birth the first time; under-18s are blocked.
- Report and block sit in the call controls on every call.
The toolbox inside a call
Typing, plus GIFs
Type alongside the video. Handy for spelling a name, sharing a link to a song, or when one of you can't talk out loud.
Conversation starters
Prompt cards to pull up when the chat goes quiet.
Seven games
Seven in all: Quick Quiz, This or That, Tic Tac Toe, Emoji Story, Truth or Dare, Would You Rather, and Rock Paper Scissors.
Lenses and gifts
About 20 camera effects, plus virtual gifts: rose, heart, star, fire, diamond, and celebration.
Four ways to shape your matches
| Option | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Match area | "My state", "United States" (default), or "Worldwide" | Free |
| Interests | Pick topics like music, gaming, anime, travel, or deep talks to meet people into the same things | Free |
| Duo mode | You and a friend get matched with another pair, 2-on-2 | Free |
| Gender filter | Optional, time-limited pass | Paid with Coins |
Your first five minutes
Most people are in their first call within a minute or two of opening the site.
- Open momos in Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox on your phone or computer.
- Log in using your Google account, then add your birthday.
- When the browser pops up a permission prompt, let it use your camera and mic.
- Choose a match area and, if you like, a few interests.
- Press Start. Say hi. If it's not a fit, press Next.
After you hang up
Hit it off with someone? Send a friend request once the call ends and message them later. momos also keeps a match history so you can find people you talked to.
Coins, briefly
Coins are momos's virtual currency. Chatting, daily streaks, inviting friends, and playing all earn them, and they're for sale too. They go toward gifts, the gender-filter pass, and other extras. Video chat itself is free, so you never need Coins just to talk to people.
Things momos deliberately doesn't do
- It isn't anonymous. A Google account is required, though matches never see your email.
- Under-18s can't join.
- It doesn't check ID or scan faces for age. Age comes from the date of birth you enter.
- momos never saves your camera or mic feed. Your match can still capture their screen, so keep that in mind.
- It isn't a dating app. People come to talk, play, and meet new people.
Frequently asked questions
Is momos a dating app?
No. momos pairs you with new people at random to talk and play games. Some people make friends there, but it isn't built around dating profiles or swiping.
Does momos work outside the US?
momos is built for adults in the United States and matches within the US by default. You can set your match area to "Worldwide" to meet people in other countries.
Why is Google the only way to sign in?
Google sign-in is the only method momos offers. It keeps signup quick, and you enter your date of birth once on first sign-in. Your matches never see your email.
Can I use momos on a work or school laptop?
It runs in a regular browser, but managed devices and workplace or campus networks sometimes block camera access or video sites. If it won't load, try your own device and network.
What's Duo mode?
Duo mode lets you and a friend get matched together with another pair for a 2-on-2 video chat. It's free.
