Meet someone new, your way.

Random, anonymous conversations with real people. Start with text, a voice call or a group call, share who you are only when you both want to, and keep the good ones in My Connects.

Get started in four steps

  1. 1

    Sign in

    Tick the box to accept the Terms and Privacy Policy, then sign in with Google. You must be 18 or older.

  2. 2

    Create your profile

    Pick a username and add a photo, bio, interests and languages. Everything you add that is private stays hidden until you choose to share it.

  3. 3

    Choose how to meet

    In the lobby, tap Text chat, Video call (voice first) or Group call. We find someone for you, or you pick a group call to join.

  4. 4

    Say hello

    Talk, play a game, or tap Next to meet someone else. If you click, use Share Connect to stay in touch.

Three ways to meet

Text Chat

Anonymous text only. No camera or microphone needed, perfect for shy days and slow connections.

  • You appear as Stranger until you both Share Connect.
  • Tap Call to ask to move to a voice/video call with the same person. It happens only if they agree too.

Video Call

Calls start voice-only. Tap the camera button whenever you want your video on, and tap it again to turn it off. The other person does the same with theirs.

  • Your microphone starts muted: tap the mic to talk.
  • Chat sits alongside the call (on phones, below it).

Group Call

Up to four people around one topic. Join a public call that's live, or start your own, public or private.

  • Everyone stays anonymous as Alpha, Beta, Gamma or Delta.
  • You choose whether your camera is on, before you join and during the call.

Match by interests (text chat and video calls): switch on “Match me by my interests” in the lobby. We first look for someone who shares at least one of your interests; if nobody turns up within 30 seconds, you are matched with anyone. When it works, you both see “You both like: …”.

Group calls: up to four people, one topic

Open Group call from the lobby. Join a public call that's already going, or start your own.

Join a public call

Search the topics people want to talk about, and filter by language or Has space. The list updates live as calls start and fill up. Pick one to see it before you join.

Start a call

Public: give it a topic, an optional description, 1 to 5 keywords and a language, and choose 2, 3 or 4 people. Everyone online can find it. Private: add a title if you like. It's never listed, and you get a link to send to the people you want. You can start up to 3 calls an hour.

Before you join

Check your camera and microphone, choose which ones to use, and see the name you'll get. Then tap Join now.

Anonymous names

People get Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta in the order they join, each with their own colour. Nobody sees your username. If your connection drops, come back within 30 seconds to keep your name and your seat.

In the call

Use the bar at the bottom to mute, turn your camera on, share your screen, raise your hand, send a reaction, play a game, open the chat or see who's here. Whoever is talking gets a glowing ring.

The host

Whoever starts the call is the host; if they leave, the person who has been there longest takes over. The host can remove someone (they can't come back), lock the call, change how many people can join, reset a private link and end the call for everyone.

Vote to remove

In a public call with at least three people, anyone can start a vote to remove someone who is spoiling it. If most of the others agree, that person is removed and can't come back to that call.

Connect, report or block

Tap ··· on someone's tile (or in People) to Share Connect, report or block. Only the two of you ever know about a Share Connect. Blocking hides them from you, and reporting also blocks. People who have blocked each other can't join the same call.

Good to know: you can be in one group call at a time, and not while you're in a text chat or video call. A call ends when everyone has left, when the host ends it, or after 6 hours. Calls and chat in groups are never recorded or stored by us, but everyone in the call can see and hear what you share.

In a one-to-one conversation

Next & Exit

Next ends the conversation and finds someone new straight away. Exit takes you back to the lobby, including while you are still waiting.

Turning video on

Tap the camera to turn your video on; they see you straight away. Tap again to turn it off. Their camera is theirs to switch, and you see a placeholder while it's off.

Icebreakers

When a text chat has had no messages for 15 seconds, or a call has been silent for 30 seconds, a conversation prompt appears. Tap Another for a new one, or in text chats Ask this to send it.

Live subtitles

Tap CC in a call to read what the other person says. Captions are made on their device and, if your browser can, translated into your language. The button appears only when their browser supports it.

From text to call

In a text chat, tap Call. If the other person agrees, you both move straight into a private call together.

Report or block

Tap the shield at any time. Blocking ends the conversation and you will never be matched again. Reporting also tells us what happened.

Share Connect: stay in touch, only if you both want to

Tap Share Connect during a chat or call. The other person gets a request; only if you both agree do you see each other's profile and the details each of you switched on for sharing. You can ask up to twice per conversation, and saying no is private.

  • You choose what is shared: real name, birthday, social handles, phone, email and up to 3 photos, each with its own Show on share switch on your profile.
  • After you connect, you appear to each other by name in future chats.
  • You can remove a connect at any time from My Connects.

Good to know

Once you share details, the other person can keep them. Share only what you are comfortable with, and remember you can always stay anonymous.

Play games together

Tap Games in any chat or call and pick one. The other person gets an invite and can say yes or no (invites expire after 20 seconds). You can send 3 invites per conversation; rematches are free.

In a group call, Draw & Guess, Truth or Dare, Ludo and Snakes & Ladders work for 2 to 4 players, and Chess and Tic-Tac-Toe appear when exactly two people are in the call. Everyone gets the invite for 20 seconds; anyone who doesn't join can watch. Each person can send 3 invites every 10 minutes.

ChessFull rules, optional 5 or 10 minute clock
LudoRoll a 6 to start, capture to send them home
Snakes & LaddersExact roll needed to reach 100
Draw & Guess6 rounds, 80 seconds each, hints over time
Truth or DareSpin the bottle; friendly prompts only
Tic-Tac-ToeBest of 3 or 5

My Connects

Open My Connects from the lobby to see everyone you have connected with.

Connects

Invite a connect to Chat or Call again. They get a notification and have 10 minutes to accept. The Friendship Clock grows as you talk: Friends at 5 hours, Good Friends at 20, Close Friends at 50 and Best Friends at 200.

Requests

Invites to talk again and requests to connect. Accept, decline (privately) or block.

Recently met

Your last 20 conversations. Strangers stay anonymous, but you can still send them a Share Connect request.

Find

Search by exact username and send a connect request. Who can find you depends on your privacy setting.

Blocked

Everyone you have blocked. Unblock them here if you change your mind.

Your profile and privacy

  • Public profile (username, photo, bio, interests, languages, country) is shown to your connects and in search results you allow.
  • Shared details are shown only after a mutual Share Connect, and only the ones you switch on.
  • Who can find me: choose Nobody, Only people I've met, or Everyone for username search.
  • Your games statistics are visible only to you.
  • Tap the moon or sun button in the top bar to switch between Dark, Light and Auto themes.

Delete your account

Open your profile and tap Delete account at the bottom. You confirm twice: first you see exactly what will be deleted, then you type DELETE. It's permanent and can't be undone. As the law requires, your registration details are kept in a restricted archive for 180 days and then erased; see the Privacy Policy.

Staying safe

  • You are anonymous by default. Nothing about you is shown unless you choose to share it.
  • Calls are never recorded by us and chat messages are never stored, in one-to-one and group calls.
  • Screenshots and screen recordings are not allowed. Other people's video and messages carry a faint watermark with your name, and are hidden when CONNECTRA isn't on screen. Anyone caught capturing others is removed for good. Still, never show or say anything you wouldn't want shared.
  • No ragging, ever. Seniors bullying juniors, humiliating dares on camera and group “roasting” in group calls are banned. Being ragged? Leave, block, report, and call the anti-ragging helpline 1800-180-5522.
  • No religious pressure. Nobody may pressure, lure or push you to change your religion. Report it.
  • Never share passwords, one-time codes, bank details, ID numbers or your address, and never send money to anyone you meet here.
  • Offensive words are blocked automatically, and people reported by several users are suspended.
  • Feel uncomfortable? Tap Next, then block or report with the shield button. In a group call, use the ··· menu on their tile, or just Leave.
  • A stranger's video starts blurred. Tap Show video only if you're comfortable, and Blur to hide it again.
  • If someone exposes themselves: end the call, report and block them, email ping.connectra@gmail.com with the subject “Urgent”, and call 1930. Don't screenshot it as proof; your report is enough.
  • CONNECTRA is for adults 18 and over only. Report anyone who seems younger.
  • Meeting someone offline is entirely your choice and your responsibility. Meet in public and tell a friend.
  • In danger? Call 112 (India) or your local emergency number. Anti-ragging helpline: 1800-180-5522 (toll-free). For cybercrime in India, call 1930 or visit cybercrime.gov.in.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

My camera or microphone does not work

Allow camera and microphone access for this site in your browser (look for the camera icon in the address bar), close other apps using the camera, then tap Try again or reload.

I keep waiting and nobody is found

There may be few people online in that mode right now. Try the other mode, join a group call, switch interest matching off, or come back a little later. We also avoid pairing you straight back with the person you just left.

The call dropped or the video froze

A weak connection usually causes this. We try to reconnect automatically; if it fails you are matched with someone new. Switching from mobile data to Wi-Fi often helps.

Can I make a group call just for my friends?

Yes. Start a private call and send them the link. It's never listed, and only people with the link can join. If the link gets out, the host can reset it and the old one stops working at once.

Someone is spoiling a group call

Block or report them from the ··· menu on their tile, and they disappear for you. In a public call you can also start a vote to remove them, and the host can remove anyone. You can always just leave.

I don't see the CC (subtitles) button

Subtitles are made on the other person's device, so the button appears only when their browser supports on-device speech recognition (for example, a recent desktop Chrome).

Is CONNECTRA free?

Yes. There are no paid features, prizes or gambling.

Which browsers work best?

The latest Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on desktop or mobile.

How do I report a problem or contact you?

Use the shield button during a conversation, or email ping.connectra@gmail.com. Our Grievance Officer, Gampa Sai Sasivardhan, acknowledges complaints within 24 hours and resolves them within 15 days. Use the subject “Urgent” for sexual content, ragging or threats.
