Ha, I went to submit a 'Show HN' about this and someone had beat me to posting it :)
I've been hacking on stranger.video for the last couple of weeks. One big design goal was to build something omegle-like that I'd be a little more comfortable using (thus there's no audio, no text chat, video is limited to faces, video cuts if it can't find a face, if you don't like what's on screen close your eyes and it disappears, etc). But I started before omegle shut down - the timing was surprisingly (and of course the shut down is sad).
The site is also intentionally set up to not feel too gamey; I think some folks experience this as "staring contest" and others as "weird art about missed connections" and I'd like it to be open to both (so, no leaderboards). I think it'd be really cool to set up some physical devices that are all hooked up to an instance of this site.

Anyway, I blogged a little bit more about the site at https://eieio.games/nonsense/game-12-stranger-video/. Happy to answer questions here ofc.
