A Ome.tv alternative built for real conversations
Ome.tv is a long-running random video chat app that pairs strangers by region and gender, leaning on automated moderation and a report system to police its feeds.
Like Ome.tv, Joust pairs you with strangers on video instantly and anonymously. The difference is that there is a point to it, a real 1v1 debate an audience can watch and join.
Why people switch to Joust
