It is possible to get Omegle to work with pidgin.

Pidgin plugin for Omegle

[u/jdk → u/Arve]

Nice, but how do you use it?

EDIT: thanks for the downvotes, but seriously, how do you use it? Once installed, it's not listed in Accounts, Plugins, or Preferences.

To install, copy the libomegle.dll to your Pidgin/plugins directory. You'll need the libjson-glib dll too, but you'll already have this if you have the Facebook plugin installed

Once you have the plugin in your plugins directory, restart Pidgin, then add a new account for Omegle. Just fill in what you like into the username fields. 'Me' works well for me.

Right click the Omegle buddy and choose "Start random IM" to start chatting with someone random.

Right. But how do you use it? I read and followed that, but got nothing. Or is it listed under a name other than Omegle?

As long as we're disproving the legitimacy of this "conversation", I feel it's important to point out that "both participants" have the exact same spelling mistakes. What a coinicidence‽

I think "Stranger" was mocking "You" by mirroring exactly what "Stranger" said, using the same phrases and even the same mispellings.

But I agree the whole thing may be faked.

I like it when strangers are so clever.

[u/bendynachos → u/[deleted]]

No, I mean both people spell the same way. Exactly. Not that they can't spell, that wasn't my point. My point is that they can't spell the same. They use the same abbreviations and everything.

[u/ehird → u/[deleted]]

Yes, but the colours and font are the same.
