How do I avoid being kicked for inactivity?

You can install this userscript, for which you need a userscript extension such as Greasemonkey. The script sends a silent command every few minutes so that the room knows you're still connected. It also lets you help keep rooms running by solving captchas that Omegle requests of them.

Are you Omegle?

No, we're ordinary users with no relation to Omegle.

Room list

Why are there sometimes multiple rows per room?

Sometimes, a room receives a captcha from Omegle, tries to connect again using another proxy, and then a user in the room solves the original captcha. To avoid wasting connections, both are shown on the list.

You can join the room using either pair of interests.

Why do I sometimes have to click to see the interests?

This is a temporary anti-spam measure.

Are there other lists of Omegle chat rooms like this?

There used to be a few, but all of them have shut down as of December 2022.

Privacy

Are private messages private?

No. Room hosts can choose to see all messages sent in their room, including PMs. Omegle itself may also spy on anything you say. It's also possible for a third party to insert itself between you and the room, especially if you don't pay attention to the room's name in the list.

Can room hosts see my IP address?

Only Omegle itself knows which IP address corresponds to which user. However, at the start of each connection, Omegle provides an opaque hash that can be used to check if the connection is likely to be from the same user as an earlier one. Each host decides individually whether to record this hash and how to use it.

Hosting a room

Can I host my own room?

Anyone can host a room. There are two options for doing this: the newer trollegle-year-six by wulfey and the original Trollegle by jtrygva and others. Unless you need a feature that's only in the original Trollegle, you should probably use the much more cleanly designed trollegle-year-six.

How do I gather users from regular Omegle?

You can add interests that your room will listen on, but not publish here, using the addtopics command. To start or stop listening on these, use spam and nospam.

How do I minimize spam?

The ban command tells the room to kick users whose messages match a certain regular expression.

For example, to block the most common and most annoying kind of opener: ban ?find ?5 (?i)(\d| |^)(f|m|female|male)\d*\b

Or to block messages longer than 250 characters: ban .{251,}

How do I keep my room's name / other settings between runs?

The site assigns your room a name based on a random value generated when Trollegle starts. If you'd like to keep a name, you can save this value and restore it, along with the rest of your room's configuration, using Trollegle's killandsave command or trollegle-year-six's crash command.

How do I change my room's pulse interests?

By default, this site only accepts interests from the names and words files included with Trollegle. If you'd like to use different interests for your room, send me an email (jtrygva aablabla blat this domain).

My room fits too few users

Omegle limits the number of connections open on a single IP address. To allow more users, you can tell your room to use a proxy. In Trollegle, you can use a HTTP or HTTPS proxy (addproxy http:HOST PORT), a plain SOCKS5 proxy (addproxy HOST PORT) or a Tor instance with an open control port (torcontrol HOST SOCKSPORT CONTROLPORT). In trollegle-year-six, you can add proxies to the array in util/proxyurls.ts.

How do I safely administer my room through Omegle?

Pick two passwords (a "challenge", by which the room will identify itself, and a "password", by which your browser will). Set them in the console using the challenge and password commands. In your browser, install the userscript and paste the passwords in its settings.

To join your room with admin powers, use the room list as usual, and make sure that the room's name in the list matches the name shown in the console. Once you've joined, type /challenge. If login is successful, you can run console commands by prefixing them with /!, e.g. /!kick.

I'd like to hack on my room while it's running

TrollegleDayTwo by TruelyThea gives Trollegle its own scripting language. If using trollegle-year-six, you can use the built-in eval command.
