i thought chatroulette was dead? is it actually still working in 2026

Hi Alejandro! A lot of people think that but Chatroulette is actually still around. That said our monitoring shows it has been having some downtime recently so its not always accessible. The traffic is way lower than its peak years and honestly a lot of people have moved on to newer platforms. It was the site that started the whole random video chat thing back in 2009 so it has historical value for sure but in terms of actually having a good experience in 2026 there are better options out there now.
