I flip my camera towards the ceiling pretty automatically. More than one guy has commented on how sexy my smoke detector and light fixtures are when I took a bit longer than 30 seconds to get redressed.
I totally do this, all the time, or towards my wall. When I used to put my cam up higher I would always have the cam on my forehead/eyes if I was getting dressed or decided to stay undressed because I was busy..the infamous chelle 'forehead cam' lololollll man it was epic, but anyways now that I sit my cam down lower (longer shifts, can't sit straight as often without moving around as much, etc) I just point it to my wall but my arm is usually in there, or a knee, or something, lol.

ohai stramaters, does anyone have the patience to help me out with an outline of what exactly happens on my screen during a gold show? I've never done one in more than a year and they trigger a huge anxiety in me. I want to try one but I'd like to be certain what will happen and when once I start the GS, so I can concentrate on the hussle and not on accidentally cancelling it.... if someone would like to PM a short description, I'd be really grateful. I realize it's probably not a good idea to do it public.
so TL;DR I would like to find someone that would be willing to describe the GS process to me in pvt, pls. :) Help me overcome this panic! Thanks a lot

Slow for me too...it was a struggle to make $50 today and yesterday, I usually make $100 or more a day....fuck, I need to bank and I usually take Thrusdays off. I certainly don't wanna work tomorrow night after working all day at my vanilla job....cam gods where are you?

Also...has anyone noticed that if someone ends c2c and ends the show there is no countdown back into guest chat? The box just turns black?
The guy may not have actually ended the show then. Unless the paid chat window actually shows the user as having logged off, the guy is still there. Usually guys hit end show (which closes c2c AND the paid window), but some guys end the c2c session first and linger a bit before actually logging out. If your window turns black and he hasn't actually logged out of paid, that's it. If it turns black AND it shows him as logged out, that's a glitch and you should flip your cam up/go on break immediately because it may have dumped you back in free chat without the 30 second count down by mistake (which is annoying, but can happen).

it's definitely a glitch - i see him leave chat and then my chat window turns completely black. beware ladies! it's happened to me numerous times after c2c

I just got disconnected from a gold show. Who do I contact if the funds don't appear in my account?
Total disastrous Wednesday. I have to log off due to technical issues and people not being able to see me connect or both. Yiiikes

From my understanding, if a gold show ends before the times up, you don't get paid.

Ladies : For those who cam with a MAC and use a logitech c920 how do you correct the coloring? Do you have to use cam twist to correct the settings? Is there a simpler solution? Everything looks beautiful on my end with the encoder but I was horrified when I viewed myself as a guest member. My coloring looks really dull and I feel I look washed out on the website feed. If this question has been asked before I do apologize.

These fuckboys are NOT DICTATING my day. I'm building power and muscle in my index finger. Block block block. Make these guys go to another place for validation. I encountered soooo many abusive losers last night and it was tough! But if u can realize how sad these guys are popping into every room to point out how expensive and unattractive u are can u imagine how broke and disgusting THEY ARE?!
It's them. Not you. Be happy you aren't looking for love on these dating sites these scumbags are actually on. :)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am experiencing the same issue with my coloring on my c920 and MAC laptop. Is this just an Apple App to download on the app store or a "CamTwist" separate app that can be bought for that problem. I keep plugging my webcam into different USB ports and that keeps changing the coloring and picture but its all over the place the past few nights.

You can't really. If guys ask me if I'm on other websites or do customs/etc I remind them to please not ask for offsite info (since it's against SM's Terms & Conditions) and then say that they can look me up online (that's all I say, I don't even answer yes or no directly) to find the answers to their questions but say I can't tell them any more than that. If they really want to find you and contact you for something off site, they will.

It's an app from the apple store you can purchase it in iTunes :)
Just open iTunes and search for webcam settings, install the app, open it, then select your camera and you can adjust and save all of your settings! Works to adjust color, white balance, sharpness, contrast, auto adjust, focus, zoom feature, etcetcetc, it's absolutely amazing and worth the price!

So I know everybody is saying how slow it is and I know there are slow days.. slow hours... etc. But I was on this morning for like an hour, it was ghost town (this was at noon when my room used to be full of guys on his lunch break) I made like 5 dollars and logged off, now I'm on again and there is no traffic, I'm getting really worried.... Am I just have a bad roll? Being paranoic? Or do I actually do need to be worried?

Hello girls! I used to be bubblegum something, but Iīve been off like 10 months now and forgot my username and password, so I just created a new account. The thing is that I want to start camming again, althought for personal reasons Iīm starting from ZERO, I know itīs gonna be rough to go from earning like 200/300 minimun, to earn like 20? 50? Anyway, anything will be good, given my "situation". Enough rambling! The Streamate related issue, thats why I post here, itīs apparently my account itīs gone. I emailed SM support 2 times, but no answer till now, so I donīt know what to do...create a new one? wait for SM to answer? Iīm not sure if I was banned or my account just was shutted off for inactivity. Anyway if some girl could give me advise or have any idea of what happened and what to do it would be really appreciated!

If you go 6 months without getting on cam, they will close your account and you'll have to open another one. That's what happened to me.

I'm Canadian and always end up with several other Canadians in my room each night. I used to have geo-block on for just my town, but I hated not being able to check my placement so I unblocked all of Canada. I've been camming long enough to not give a crap if someone finds me online (and they have).
If you're worried about losing potential $ by having the geoblock on I found it made no difference. All of my regulars are either from the US or the UK - I actually find Canadian guys to be cheap, and once they know you are in Canada they just want to hook up for free.

Well, I'm glad they're repping Canada well to non-Canadians! :) I think it's just that Canada is super small population-wise, so a lot of these guys get really excited and sincerely think they have a chance to hook up with Canadian cam models. I get asked literally every single time!

a few things:
I miss Webcam Settings too holy fuck especially that you can save different profiles so you don't have to fuck with zooming all the time you can just switch between them (or if you go outside and need to adjust white balance from indoor lighting).
I have an auto-text that I spam in pvt or excl that says "if you don't like what we are doing, let me know and we can get back on track!" imo, it doesn't matter if you are known for more fetish shows - they can type and tell u what they want if you aren't offering it.
and though I am Canadian, my display country is set to US because even sometimes when I'm on my customer account and see a Canadian girl I always end up asking her where in Canada she is without even thinking of how much I hate that bc I'm like. damn we in the same country! That said, I do always tip (Chelle I totes tipped you your age in gold on your birthday tho I think it will show up as less bc it's like. Canadian :D )

Is it safe to say the minute a guy feels he's in a close vicinity of you he starts getting cheaper? Like he starts creating a fund for the day that he gets to meet you and do the deed? Canadians are great to us U.S girls. U.S. guys can be really cheap to US girls but they'll be the first mothafuckas to ask "can we meet up" like its a justified reason for not paying. Maybe they can take us out instead. Yeah, no.

Im in the US and I agree with this.
The Canadians I've had as custies all treat me very well and spend lots of money.
ALL the guys who live in my 'fake' state, pressure me to meet them constantly after they have spent money on me.
Time for me to create a new fake state.

Exactly! Sometimes its just plain rude how I get approached too..not just a "where in Canada babe?" but sometimes they just come in and go "Ontario?" LOL and yes they ALWAYS just assume I am there waiting to hook up with them because they are in Canada... like as if Canada is small enough that I can walk out my front door and fuck them lol. Sheesh.
