Looking for a ChatHub alternative? Text and video together.
A ChatHub alternative search often comes from people who want typing and video in the same place. Shedo Chat runs a text panel alongside every video call and adds private messages for people you want to keep talking to. Shedo Chat is an independent random video chat platform. It has no affiliation, partnership or endorsement relationship with ChatHub, and ChatHub is a trademark of its respective owner, referenced here only so you can compare.
Text inside the call
The chat panel opens beside the video without interrupting it — useful for links, names, or chatting when you cannot speak out loud.
Continuing after the call
If a conversation goes well you can exchange Shedo IDs and keep talking in private messages later, instead of losing the person the moment you skip.
Messages that expire
Private messages are removed from our servers automatically after 60 days, and photos and videos after 7 days, which limits how much history is kept on our side.
Group conversation as an option
Live audio Rooms add a many-to-many format with a host, invited speakers and listeners, for conversations that outgrow two people.
What needs an account
Video chat and in-call text need no account. Private messaging, Rooms hosting and saved preferences do.
Common questions
- Can I use Shedo Chat for text chat only?
- In-call text sits alongside video, and private messages between contacts are text-first. Random matching itself is a video format.
- Are private messages kept forever?
- No. They are removed from our servers automatically after 60 days.
- Is Shedo Chat connected to ChatHub?
- No. Shedo Chat is built and run independently. There is no affiliation, partnership or endorsement between Shedo Chat and ChatHub; the name appears here only for comparison.
