decal vs OmeTV: how the two compare
In short
decal and OmeTV are both free random video chat sites. OmeTV does not offer a gender filter, by its own stated choice. decal does, as a paid option, alongside a free country filter, in browser nudity detection before broadcast, and an appeal for every suspension. decal is newer and smaller than OmeTV.
What OmeTV is
OmeTV is an established random video chat service. Its own FAQ describes the product as free to use and ad free, and states plainly that it does not offer gender specific filtering, by choice rather than by omission.
Beyond what OmeTV states about itself, we do not make claims about how it is run day to day. What follows is limited to what is publicly published and easy to check.

What OmeTV does better
OmeTV is the more established of the two services. decal is new, and at the time of writing you will generally wait longer for a match here than on a site that has been running for longer and built up a bigger audience over time.
We would rather say that plainly than let you find out mid conversation.
How decal handles moderation and filters
- Nudity is detected before it is broadcast, in the browser, not after someone has reported it.
- Every suspension can be appealed by writing to hello@decal.ink. A person reads it and answers within 72 hours. An account suspended in error is restored in full. See the community rules.
- The country filter is free. Only the gender filter is paid, and its price is shown before any charge.
- Video never passes through our servers. It goes peer to peer, and the server only relays connection setup and text messages.
What we will not pretend
decal is new and small. At the time of writing, you will wait longer here than on an established site with a large audience already online, and at some hours you may find very few people at all.
We would rather say that plainly than show a counter picked to look bigger than it is. What you find when you sign in is what is actually there.
