What Camsurf is

Camsurf is a random webcam chat run by EF Communications LLC (Wyoming, USA), for users 18 and over according to its terms. Basic chat works without an account; some features use Google or Apple sign-in.

Its FAQ says it keeps filters to a minimum to keep chats random, though you can filter by location and language. There's a paid PLUS tier and tokens. Camsurf is available on the web and on Android; its site says an iPhone app is still in development.

Choosing by device

If you're on Android, both services work in the browser and Camsurf also has an app. On iPhone, the browser is the way in for both — WomChat is designed to work smoothly in Safari, with the same skip, report and translation features as on desktop. Our video chat on mobile guide covers camera permissions step by step.

Choosing by who you want to meet

Camsurf matches you with anyone online, optionally by country or language. WomChat is focused on one-to-one video chats with women from more than 100 countries, and translation means you don't need to filter by language at all. Curious how filters work elsewhere? Read can you choose a country on random video chat?.
