I really wish you guys hadn’t killed the option to stream without OBS. I understand that you guys want HQ, but adding Cams to my OBS completely destroyed my existing setup I had used on there with Twitch. I spent almost an hour on the phone w your tech at one point to fix it and was basically told that I couldn’t get any help customizing my OBS to work with more than 1 platform. It was a pretty rough go and left a bad taste in my mouth. I won’t give up my Twitch for Streamray and so this leaves me with no option to stream on your site anymore :/
THIRD topic for today:
We are working on a brand new Model Center, including all our FAQ pages. We'd love to hear your feedback!
What info would YOU like to see on there?
What info do you check most often?
What info on there do we need to explain better?
Any other thoughts on what makes a great Model Center for you?
You can post your replies here or DM me on twitter @camsdotcom.

I have my Youtube settings and Streamray. it's a separate file in OBS.
You can save multiple profiles in OBS.

Cams support is refusing to tell me what my total amount of earnings was in 2020 and what the business name and other information is in order to do my taxes. They are being extremely rude and said because my earnings didn't require a 1099 they don't have to tell me. I have sent multiple messages.
Tbh I'm pretty astounded at that behavior and don't understand it at all. Is there anyway to get around this and contact someone else higher up perhaps and bypass support?

If they won't tell you then you have to go back each pay period and add them all up.

After 3 years on that site I had to permanently leave for that reason. Well, there were other reasons too but that was what caused me to finally fully quit.
The same exact thing you said, minus the Twitch situation. I cammed both Cams and CB and every single time I logged into CB after streaming on Cams my OBS was so fucked up that I had to reinstall it. Cams just straight up sucks now. When I started there in 2015 it was GREAT! In 2017 it started to go downhill and now the site is pretty much unworkable. Whenever there is an issue on Cams end they rarely take responsibility for it, they always blamed my equipment for the issue although I could switch to other sites and have no issues.

I suggest going in to your bank account and adding up all of the deposits from Cams. Don't go off of your earnings history/reports on the site. There have often been large discrepancies between what the site says I got paid and what was actually deposited in my account.
Multiple years on that site and the 1099 NEVER added up properly to what they actually deposited. This is the first year for me with them that the number was actually accurate. They would claim higher earnings than what was actually deposited into my bank.(Which means higher taxes for me - uh, no thank you!) I did my taxes off what they actually deposited and not their 1099's. I sent a letter to the IRS with bank statements to explain the discrepancy between their paperwork and what I was actually paid that way I didn't get into trouble for underpaying what was reported on my 1099. Hopefully the IRS is keeping an eye on this.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, you only get a 1099 if you made over $600 so you technically don't have to claim it on your taxes. Unless you are trying to buy a house and need the extra income to increase your AGI for loan purposes....

Yeah, I don't fuck with OBS anymore. I had used it for MyFreeCams for a little while (After using Flash was no longer an option), and with OBS my video stream was constantly fucking up...with OBS giving me the "Encoding overload!" warning message, and making me lag horribly. Even lost one of my MFC tippers because he got so impatient over the issues I'd been having...this dude threw a tantrum, and stopped visiting me on MFC, and even unfollowed me on Twitter and OnlyFans. LMFAO! *Eye roll* I've gone back to using the regular WebRTC on MFC, and things are USUALLY fine now that way.
I see that ManyVids Live (which I've stopped camming on) added OBS. I knew it was only a matter of time. I'm considering going back on MV Live again (But also considered going back to Cams Nude Chat), so hopefully OBS is OPTIONAL for MV Live models.

Been reading about them, apparently their traffic has decreased a lot in the last few years, leading to models earning less and less as time goes on.
How much could I expect to make with them?

I am going to give this site a go again as a background site to split with SM.
Do you think it's possible to swing SM rates on Cams? I was at $6 per minute there the last time I was on a year or two ago & everyone seemed to think that was very expensive but it is still less than I am on SM.

Do you think they'd let me keep it the way it was...where I didn't have to do that X hours of free chat nonsense, and could just stay logged into private chat only mode? The only thing is that 'getting paid 12% business'...I can't deal with that.
It broke my heart to leave ImLive though (One of my first cam sites...maybe THE first?). Cams might be the better option for me. And I like that guys on there don't get any free seconds in a paid show.

That is the thing I hate the most about Cams - how much they just blatantly lie to our faces. Shovel us bullshit and expect us to just believe it like we are too stupid to know otherwise. It's insulting. And then fuck us up to save themselves money. TBH I am surprised this site is even still functioning. Good thing they aren't my main site. They would've totally fucked me here. With all of these payment processors always having issues I ONLY do ACH.

WTF. What a load of shit! ACH/Direct Deposit is all I use to get paid by all of these sites. This is just one more reason to not waste my time with that site. Low-ass payout percentage...making the OBS encoder mandatory...and that dumb-ass snapshot feature (Where I gotta go through all those ugly-ass snapshots of me, and delete them). Lol. I'm happy that other ladies are still enjoying this site, but meh.

Hi there,
I am part of a joint study involving SJSU, WLU (Canada) and MSU and we are attempting to develop a comprehensive understanding of how those who participate in online sex-related content production manage their work identity in relation to their “real-life” identity and deal with the implications of the stigma associated with sex work. The end goal it to combat the negative stigmatization of participants.
We are asking for participants to participate in an online survey (approx. 45 minutes long) and share with us their experiences and knowledge regarding their everyday work.
Above I have included the docuemnt with all the necessary information regarding the survey and below I have included the link to participate in the study as well.
Thank you.

Please do not abuse our private messaging system with solicitations. Members can and will report your message. Then I will have to ban you. You are however allowed to send me a private message discussing your project. But only if you truly believe you're a rare snowflake who could benefit the community with your work. Even then there is no guarantee that we'll allow you to post and solicit on our board.
It does help when you're an actual member of the sexworker community and can provide credentials to back it up. This however does NOT mean that because you found your way here we are going to accept you and your studies. Typically first time posters looking for content will be rejected. I and many people here feel it's best when it's someone who's actively a part of THIS community looking for feedback. We've had far too many tourist (well intended I'm sure ;) ) who have gotten it completely wrong.
Unfortunately the last time we allowed a researcher to post, two women who didnt even participate in the study were outed on Facebook. It wasn't exactly her fault, but all the same...it still happened. We're good for now. Thank you for dropping by and have a wonderful day.

They have other options? I had checked their current ones and none really seemed feasible except for possibly MassPay but MassPay's website doesn't list their fees . It just says "as low as $1" which means nothing and is in of itself suspicious combined with their crap reviews on Google.

I was hoping for crypto or at a last resort even PayPal. I do not like those odd payment options as they always come with fees. A few other sites I am thinking of working with/working with again only have BitSafe though so if I had to have a weird payment method it would be better to only have one.
