What Is Camloo?

Camloo is a browser-based random video chat at camloo.com, run by SkyTech Global Ltd in Belize and not open to minors. You pick your gender, press start and meet a stranger on camera. Talking is free; a token currency called CAML pays for the extras.

Camloo calls CAML a Meet-to-Earn token. You collect a little of it for every minute on camera, and you can also buy it. Tokens pay for gifts, a boost up the leaderboard, the country filter and a Freeze button that stops the other person skipping you. The section below sets out the rates.

The Camloo chat itself lives at chat.camloo.com, and its homepage says it is "giving a head start over big names such as Chatroulette and Omegle." On safety it sits in the middle: there are moderators and a report flag, but its terms also give the company the right to record what happens in a chat.

Other Sites That Use the Camloo Name

A search for Camloo also turns up camloo.app, camloo.chat, camloo.live and camloo.tv. None of them links to camloo.com or names SkyTech Global, so what they allow, charge and check for age is up to them.

Everything below describes camloo.com and its chat window, as documented by SkyTech Global. A lookalike may copy the name and the layout, but a ban, a refund or a data request there has nothing to do with the original.

Is Camloo Free? How CAML Tokens Work

Yes, the chat itself is free: Camloo's terms state that "communication in the Application is free." What costs something is the layer built on top, and all of it runs on CAML tokens, which you either earn by talking or buy. The terms describe CAML as units with "no real-world or cash-equivalent value", so tokens cannot be cashed out, sold to other users or moved anywhere else.

Earning comes with strict conditions. Tokens start to build three seconds after a match connects, at 0.04 CAML a minute, and only while your face is clearly visible to the other person. Step out of frame and the free tokens are taken back at the same rate. The daily ceiling is 10 CAML, and if you stay logged out for 90 days, free tokens may be reset to zero while bought ones stay.

Camloo's token rates
0.04 CAML
earned per minute, only while your face is in view
10 CAML
daily ceiling on free tokens
$0.10
per CAML, with top-ups from 30
0.8 CAML
reaches the other person from a 1 CAML gift

Buying is simpler. One CAML costs $0.10 and the smallest top-up is 30 of them, so the entry price is about $3. Gifts run from a 1 CAML compliment to a 75 CAML crown, and Camloo keeps a share of each one: send a 1 CAML gift and the other person receives 0.8.

The prompts inside the chat show what tokens unlock. The country filter needs a login and at least 5 CAML, Match Boost costs 10 CAML for an hour, and the Freeze button costs 1 CAML but only works once you hold 50. A top-up can also bring Premium Gold, which the chat says you need before you can see other users' gender.

Why People Look for an Alternative to Camloo

Most of what sends people looking for an alternative to Camloo leads back to its tokens and the conditions around them. Written reviews are scarce: we found no Trustpilot page for camloo.com, so the six points below come from Camloo's own terms and the prompts in its chat.

How a Freeze works on Camloo
1The Other Person Pays 1 CAML
The button only works once they hold 50 CAML.
2Your Next Button Locks
For 10 or 12 seconds, depending on the prompt, while they ask you to stay.
3A Login Is Suggested
The prompt that follows says logging in helps you avoid being frozen again.
On Cafe Video Chat, skipping is free and unlimited, and nobody can pay to lock it.
Reasons

Six Things People Run Into on Camloo

01
Choosing a Gender Needs a Login
The chat's own prompt says gender selection is "available only to authorized users". Even logged in, it only tilts the odds: the more CAML you hold, the prompt adds, "the greater your chances" of meeting the gender you picked.
02
The Other Person Can Freeze Your Next
For 1 CAML, whoever you are talking to can lock your Next button for a few seconds, 10 or 12 depending on which prompt you read, and ask you to stay. The prompt that tells you it happened suggests logging in if you want to avoid being frozen again.
03
Free Tokens Depend on Your Face
Free CAML only builds while your face is clearly in view, and it drains again when you leave the frame. Anyone who would rather talk with the camera pointed elsewhere earns nothing and can lose what they had.
04
A Crowd That Is Mostly Men
Similarweb's August 2026 estimate puts Camloo's visitors at about 87 percent male. With a split like that, the login and token rules wrapped around the gender setting carry real weight.
05
Bans With No Notice and No Fixed Length
The agreement allows a temporary or permanent ban "with or without notice", and Camloo sets the length of temporary bans itself. A ban can follow the company's own checks as well as a report from another user.
06
New Users Cannot Send Messages
According to the chat's prompt, new users are unable to send text messages until they have spent more time on video or hold more than 30 CAML. If you like to type a hello before talking, that is a slow start.
Before you pay

Before You Buy CAML on Camloo

Price the whole top-up, not just the tokens.
The $3 minimum is only the start. Some countries add VAT, some payment methods add a fee shown before you confirm, and other currencies convert at your bank's rate.
Leave tokens unspent if you may want a refund.
The agreement says all sales are final. EU and UK buyers can withdraw within 14 days, but only if none of the CAML has been spent and no paid feature has been used.
Watch for features that switch on by themselves.
Some features activate automatically once your balance reaches a set level. The terms treat that activation as a non-refundable service, whether the tokens were bought, gifted or earned.

Taken together, the six points describe a chat where the talking is free but nearly every choice around it has a price or a condition. The checklist covers what you can control with your money. What you cannot control is what Camloo keeps from your chats, and that is the next question.

Is Camloo Safe? What It Records and Keeps

Camloo is moderated, but it is not private in the way an encrypted call is. It is not open to minors, which its rules call a zero-tolerance policy, and the agreement describes automatic monitoring plus moderators watching content around the clock. A flag at the bottom of the screen sends a report, though its FAQ makes no promise that the reported user will be blocked.

The bigger point is recording. The agreement gives Camloo "the right to record the communication process, including saving correspondence and audio records, as well as taking screenshots of video broadcasts." Continuing to use the chat counts as consent to that storage and to automated face recognition. The privacy policy adds that the system takes screenshots at random and keeps them for 90 days.

An account adds more. Registration data can include your full name, photo, date of birth, gender, city and linked social network details. Communication data, which can include audio and video files, is deleted two years after you delete the account, and the same goes for registration and ID data. Most of it is stored in the European Economic Area, with Google Analytics in the United States.

If something goes wrong, the terms send you to Belize: its law governs the agreement, its courts hear disputes, and a claim has to be filed within one year. Camloo's liability is capped at the value of the CAML in your balance when you file. None of that makes the chat dangerous, but it does leave most of the protection with the company.

What Camloo keeps, and for how long
  1. During a chat
    The system may take screenshots at random, and staying in the chat counts as consent to recording.
  2. 30 days after deletion
    Analytics data is removed.
  3. 90 days
    How long the random screenshots are kept.
  4. 1 year
    The time you have to file a claim, under the law and courts of Belize.
  5. 2 years after deletion
    Communication data, including audio and video files, is deleted, along with registration and ID data.

Sites and Apps Like Camloo

The fair way to compare Camloo alternatives is by what each one asks of you before a match and what it does with the call. In Similarweb's August 2026 data, the sites most similar to Camloo are Chatroulette, Chatrandom, Vidizzy, CamSurf and Bazoocam, and most of them appear in the cards below. If you came here from Omegle, the wider field is on our Omegle alternative page.

Our pick

Cafe Video Chat

Press start and a stranger appears within seconds, with no account and nothing to download. Skipping is free and unlimited, and nobody can pay to hold you in a call. Only the gender filter costs anything; it is paid in coins, and opening an account gives you 125 to start with. Calls are end to end encrypted and we do not record them, while moderation runs 24/7, AI and human, between calls and on every report.

02

Chatrandom

Chatrandom has been running since 2011 and sits second in Similarweb's list of sites like Camloo. It pairs you with a random person and lets you swipe to the next, much as Camloo's Next button does. Its Google Play listing mentions a gender filter, a way to limit matches by region and face filters to break the ice. The app carries in-app purchases, so check what they cover before you pay for anything.

03

CamSurf

CamSurf launched in 2015 and keeps sign-up out of the way: its Google Play listing promises video chat "without logging in" and no sign up forms. You can filter connections by country or language, and there is an Android app next to the website. Moderation leans on people, with the listing saying it employs dozens of moderators who can ban a user for a period after a report.

04

Vidizzy

Vidizzy runs in the browser with no account and no app to install. Before the first match you set your gender, your age and who you want to meet, and you can ask to be paired with people whose face is on camera.

05

CooMeet

CooMeet starts a random video chat after a few taps, with no long registration, and translates messages as you go. How its costs compare with ours is set out on our CooMeet alternative page.

06

Chatroulette

Chatroulette, online since 2009, now matches through selfies: you see a photo of a possible partner and the chat starts when you both agree. It also runs on an in-app currency, Quids; our Chatroulette alternative page covers the rest.

Camloo and Cafe Video Chat both put two strangers on camera with one press. What differs is everything around the video chat: here there are no tokens to earn and nothing is recorded.

If you are looking for a Camloo alternative, you probably still want the random part. What you may not want is a balance that grows only while your face is in frame, or a partner who can pay to stop you skipping. On Cafe Video Chat you can talk as long as you like and skip as often as you like, and neither costs anything.

We built the privacy side around one rule: what happens in a call stays with the two people in it. Every conversation is end to end encrypted, and no copy of it is kept on our side. Our AI and human moderators work around the clock, but they act between calls and on the reports people send.

Why us

Why Camloo Users Switch to Cafe Video Chat

Calls That Are Not Recorded
Calls are never recorded or stored. What no platform can stop is someone filming their own screen, so show only what you would be happy to see again.
End-to-End Encryption on Every Call
Every conversation is end to end encrypted, and the connection runs peer to peer. Your IP address is not shown to the other person.
Nobody Can Freeze Your Skip
Skipping is free and unlimited, and there is no paid button that holds you in a conversation you want to leave.
No Tokens to Earn or Lose
There is no balance that grows with your screen time or shrinks when you step out of frame. Talking is free, with no time limit on calls.
Coins Only for the Gender Filter
The gender filter is the one thing coins buy, and your first 125 come free when you create an account.
An Android App You Can Install Today
Use any browser on a phone or computer, or install the Cafe app for Android from Google Play. On an iPhone, the browser does the job.

A Camloo Alternative That Records Nothing

One press puts you on camera with someone new, with no login first and no token balance to watch.

Nothing is recorded or kept once a call ends. The other person never sees your IP address, and there is no face check deciding what you earn.

Some people drop in for a two-minute hello, others talk for an hour. Both work the same way, and there is no clock running on either.

Where Coins Come In

Cafe Video Chat has one paid feature, the gender filter, and it runs on coins. Matching, talking and skipping stay free however much you use them.

Coins are not earned by keeping your face on screen. Create an account and 125 free coins are added at once, enough to see whether the filter is worth buying more.

There is no subscription, and your card statement stays discreet if you do buy coins. On Camloo, the same choice asks for a login and a token balance that shifts your odds.

Switching From Camloo in Three Steps

  1. 1
    Open Cafe Video Chat
    Use the browser you already have open, on a phone or a computer. There is no login screen and nothing to install.
  2. 2
    Allow Camera and Microphone
    Your browser asks once for access to both. Agree, and the setup is done.
  3. 3
    Press Start
    A new person appears within seconds. Stay as long as you both like, or skip to someone else for free.

Still holding CAML on Camloo? The terms keep bought tokens in your balance, but free ones may reset after 90 days without a login.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask about Camloo's recordings, apps, tokens and bans, answered from its own documents, with one question about Cafe Video Chat at the end.

1

Does Camloo record video chats?

Yes, it reserves the right to. The agreement covers audio records and screenshots of video, and carrying on with the chat counts as consent. The only way it offers to withdraw that consent is an email to Camloo, and doing so also ends your right to use the service.

2

Do I need an account to use Camloo?

No, not for basic matching: you pick your gender and press start. The chat asks you to log in for the gender filter, the country filter, gifts and friend requests, and says full use 'without any restrictions' needs a login.

3

Is there a Camloo app for iPhone or Android?

Not from Camloo itself, at least not yet. Its homepage lists both the App Store and Google Play versions as coming soon, so on a phone you use the browser. Before installing any app that carries the Camloo name, check who the developer is.

4

How do I get free CAML tokens on Camloo?

By chatting with your face in frame, at 0.04 CAML a minute. Reaching the 10 CAML daily limit takes a little over four hours on camera, and free tokens cannot be spent on gifts. Camloo also hands out bonus tokens for well-grounded reports about other users.

5

Why was I banned on Camloo?

The ban notice gives only a general reason. It points to 'your actions or age restrictions' and asks you to email support with your account ID if you think the decision is wrong. That email is the only appeal route its rules describe, so include the ID and the time of the ban.

6

How do I delete my Camloo account?

From inside the service: the privacy policy says users can request deletion there. Your CAML balance and likes are deleted with the account, so spend or write off any tokens first. Deletion is not instant erasure either, since analytics data goes after 30 days and most other records take longer.

7

Is Camloo the same as Omegle?

No. The format is similar, a stranger on camera and a button to move on, which is why Camloo's homepage sets itself against Omegle and Chatroulette. Omegle closed in 2023, and Camloo is a separate service run by a company registered in Belize, with its own token currency and its own rules.

8

What are the best Camloo alternatives?

It depends on what pushed you away. CamSurf and Vidizzy both skip sign-up, Chatroulette and Chatrandom sit closest to Camloo in Similarweb's data, and Cafe Video Chat suits you if calls that are encrypted and never recorded matter most.

9

Does Cafe Video Chat record calls?

No. We do not record or store calls, and every conversation is end to end encrypted. Our moderators act between calls and on reports, not by watching the call itself, and you can start without an account.

Your Next Call Stays Private

No tokens to earn and no one freezing your skip button. Press start, and the call you begin is encrypted and never recorded.
