It used webRTC, at least in the early days. Same as Chat Roulette. That was why it was able to scale the way it did.

- JellyYelly 3y agoHow? WebRTC came out in 2011 and wasn't even widely supported in web browsers until years later. Omegle came out in 2009, and launched video in 2010.
- buffalobuffalo 3y agoAh, you're right. The video chat was definitely p2p though, I remember reading about it when it came out. I just tried to check what p2p video chat implementations were available back then, but no luck. Maybe a java plugin?
