Looking for a LivU alternative? Everything included, nothing metered.
A LivU alternative is often wanted by people tired of metered conversations. This page describes what Shedo Chat includes as standard and what a subscription is actually for. Shedo Chat is an independent random video chat platform. It has no affiliation, partnership or endorsement relationship with LivU, and LivU is a trademark of its respective owner, referenced here only so you can compare.
Conversations are not metered
Calls are not timed, counted or charged per minute. You stay as long as both people want to and skip whenever you like.
The full feature list, plainly
Video matching, interests, in-call text, camera blur, regular face effects, report and block, audio Rooms and private messages between contacts.
- Free without an account: matching, skipping, text, blur, effects
- Free with an account: private messages, Rooms, saved settings
- Premium: matching preferences and unlimited game plays
Games as a conversation starter
Trivia, Would You Rather, Two Truths and a Lie, Compatibility and Rapid Fire run inside a call. Free users get a daily allowance rather than a paywall.
Audio Rooms
Rooms are live audio spaces with a host, speakers and listeners — a different rhythm from one-on-one video, and included rather than sold separately.
One account everywhere
The same account and Premium status work in the mobile browser, on desktop and in the Android app.
Common questions
- Are calls time-limited?
- No. There is no per-minute charge and no call timer.
- Is Rooms a paid add-on?
- Joining Rooms is part of the product; hosting requires an account and, for some settings, Premium.
- Is Shedo Chat connected to LivU?
- No. Shedo Chat is built and run independently. There is no affiliation, partnership or endorsement between Shedo Chat and LivU; the name appears here only for comparison.
