A Chat Name People Want to Answer

The name you pick is how everyone in the room will know you, so keep it readable. Something short with a hint of personality, like a hobby or a favourite place, gets more replies than a jumble of letters and numbers. Leave out your real name, your town and anything that links to your social accounts.

You need 3 to 20 characters: letters, numbers or underscores. Guest names are free to use but not held for you, so if you plan to come back to the online chat regularly, the optional free account keeps your name safe.

Once you're in, you can move between rooms without starting over. The chat with strangers room is popular late at night, when the main lobby gets quieter.

Like all our free online chat, this room is free for everyone. Keep personal details private and use the block and report buttons if anyone bothers you.
