Short answer
In Sheepdog Filter, open your child's Blocking tab, go to Chat and messaging and switch off 'Omegle-style video chat'. That blocks OmeTV, Chatroulette, Chatrandom, Monkey, Azar, Emerald Chat and dozens more, on every device. We add new copycats as we find them.
The sites that replaced Omegle
OmeTV, Chatroulette, Chatrandom, Monkey, Azar, Emerald Chat, Uhmegle, CamSurf, Chatspin, Holla and many more. They pair your child with a random stranger on video, often with no age check at all.
Block Omegle-style video chat with Sheepdog Filter
- Open your dashboard and choose your child (or Home Wi‑Fi for every device in the house).
- Go to the Blocking tab and open Chat and messaging.
- Switch Omegle-style video chat off. It stops loading in the app and the browser within a minute, on every device set up for that child.
Want it only at certain times? Leave it on and add a schedule (for example school nights), or use Homework mode to pause it until a time you pick. Need an exception? Tap Allow for a bit and it switches back by itself.
Keeping up with new ones
New stranger-chat sites launch constantly. Sheepdog Filter adds them to the same switch as we find them, and the Adult content list catches many more. You don't need to know their names.
Talk about it too
Tell your child why these sites are blocked: strangers on camera can record them, pressure them, or show them things they can't unsee. Make sure they know they can tell you about anything that happened without getting in trouble.

Is Omegle still around?
Omegle itself closed in November 2023, but many copycat sites use its name or style. Blocking the category covers them.
