I had my old name transferred to my new account. I created it under whatever name and then messaged Liz to have it changed to my old name. But I don't think you can do it if the name's been used by someone else, not you.
I don't know if they've been used. The system just isn't letting me use either of those. I googled it, but I didn't come up with anything that was on SM and had that name.

Just clicked my earnings report and it popped right up just like before! No longer need to click it again! YAY!
Sadly it still opens the client details as a new tab rather then a pop up but at least we are being heard!!

My solution for this -> right click on member's name -> open link in new window -> make window small like it was before.
But hey, they should just get rid of this 'opening in new tab' option & bring it back to a pop-up small window like before.

Alright, so because I am a total nerd/geek, I looked into HTML 5 video and how it works on SM. From my research, I see that SM does have HTML 5 video but it only works on mobile and not very well. For instance, guys can't do C2C with you on a mobile device. Also, if they are on a mobile device, they have to very careful not to double click the video stream or else it turns the stream off completely. I can see guys who have laggy internet thinking the stream isn't working and then logging out constantly.
If the guy is accessing SM from a desktop, they get Flash video which I suppose right now, it is the more reliable streaming tech for SM because of the way their software works.
Once SM goes HTML 5 video for both desktop and mobile, I predict that SM will become more stable. MPEG-DASH and HLS will be the most used protocol on all video streaming sites and if that is the case on SM, then these glitches should be reduced dramatically.
What I want to know, (also tweeted to @realstreamate), when this transition happens, will we all still need to use the FMLE/SM Broadcaster? Does anyone have any insight into streaming tech?

It took me a whole month to start making money on Streamate . No lie . Don't give up. That was 6 years ago. Traffic has gone down since, so it might of took me longer if I just now started .Run it as back up site ,till u start building up regulars .i cAnt believe Mfc used to be my main site .Damn times has chAnge.
Anyways the number one thing with Sm since they change the requirements you have to be online so you can get good placement . good placement equals more exposure .

Does anyone know if they are even going to make this transition any time soon? I imagine if they were smart they would have already been working on a brand new site to be launched for a while now. If they aren't... well I dont know then. They're riding on some pretty outdated stuff as I understand it?

Hi girls!
Just writting to let you know a Twitter account was just created so SM models, through specific polls can agree (or not) upon common concerns we all have regarding Streamate and present the results to them so they know what we, as a group, think and what suggestions we have so they can help us correct some mistakes and make a few changes that can help the site run more smoothly, allowing us all to earn some more money. After all, that's what it's all about! You can follow the account @streamatepolls and vote in the first poll. Btw, Streamate agreed to help out.
Remember, follow @streamatepolls
Let your friends know! Thanks!

My idea: Stop the with the contests and use that money to buy quality traffic like they use to.
That's good. The idea is to discuss here the main issues we all agree the site is having and what we would suggest for it to function better. Then make a weekly poll at @streamatepolls with a concrete idea, everyone votes (the more votes the better). If the majority agrees and there are sufficient votes, then we take those results to Streamate so they know we all (or most of us) agree on it, that way they can maybe do something about it (like what happened with the customer ID number in the earnings page).
So your idea works great. Things like:
- Low traffic
- Placement issues
- Offline tipping
- Free preview on pvts
- Glitches
- Pop up with customer info in the inbox page
- SM Broadcaster
etc.
Can be discussed, suggestions be made, then vote and finally present to SM so they can do something about it. I'm sure they won't change every little thing we ask for but maybe a few positive changes can be made and we all win.
This is just an idea that came up so any suggestions and ideas would be great.

i have "mike the shaving guy" come to me often as well, i told him 1000 to shave my head, he said 200...sorry dude move along.
i shaved my pussy for him for 100 and had angry regulars so if you're a bushy girl with lovers of your bushiness, think it over long and hard. that shit doesn't grow overnight unfortunately.

the weekends have been absolutely DREADFUL. over it
Not shaving for a small amount here, maybe for $500+ my cut? Dont know if somebody will pay $1500 just to see me shaving anyway.
I decided to shave partially when i was to gyno doc & felt ashamed to go there full bush lol but then all of my hairy pussy lovers been disappointed & lost a lot of work before i grew my bush back ehhh

I mean the whitelables...or affiliates... whatever the fuck they're called idk.
It's like....6 am or something... I cammed through the night....so tired.... let me see 1 sec...
Like if I type "camgirls" into bing and compare results with google.
livecamgirls.com doesn't show. (unless I were to specifically type that) Which is us.
camfever.com is us.... doesn't show
webcamgirls.com is us....doesn't show.
livecam.com is us.... doesn't show...
ect... those things...
mind you.. those were just the ones I get on page one of bing. None of which show on google. Streamate.com doesn't show on google when I type in camgirls either. Unless you specifically LOOK for it...
This happened a few years ago....that's when there was the major change in traffic. Back in the day we were EVERYWHERE.... I remember lol.
Idk why it happened....google did it. That's about all I know... I know it happened and I know I felt the change. Immediately. It's been different ever since for me. 800/1000 goldshows?? lol yeah right... lol. It's just not the norm anymore :D I still make pretty good money, it's just A LOT harder!!!!! And I mean, a LOT! I'm not going to sugar coat it.
(ahhhhh...but google will happily direct you to naked.com or chaturbate lol....)
and no I don't have "safe search" on
What's funny is I have other accounts on other sites. Just in case you know. A few times I've thought sm might just not be working for me anymore and tried to change. Regulars found me on those other sites in the very short time I was there and tipped me...300...600 dollars plus. Crazy right? Big tippers are moving. They want more for their money. Kik. twitter. skype. ect ect ect.... Things that sm doesn't let us do freely. I don't blame the guys :/ Everyone wants the best deal in life. I will say though, that 50% cut was nice as fuck. For me though, I still make the most off streamate than anywhere else. I'm comfortable there though. And until things go very bad for me on that site, I'm not leaving anytime soon.

I just did a google search for "camgirls" and got:
1) Chaturbate
2) camgirls (streamate)
3) Chaturbate Australia
4) Sexcamly (looks like a Chaturbate white label)
5) a free to view video site
6) the Wiki page explaining what camgirls are
7) Naked
8.) Camplace
9) Urban Dictionary explaining what camgirls are
10) another free to view video site
Page 2 is mainly blogs, a couple more free video sites, twitter accounts and CamGirls The Series.
Anyway, Streamate was the second result for me on page 1.

I don't remember exactly what happened but yeah, Google did something...not just to SM but made it much harder to find white labels or something... and Streamate tried to sue them and lost.

Is fed ex or wire transfer a lot faster than receiving your check via regular mail? I have a big tax bill due and it would be good to get paid faster for this week's pay.
If I signed up for fed ex or wire, would it start with this weeks earnings?

well at least they tried. The point I was making though, was that maybe our traffic issues aren't all streamates fault. that was all.
I do see that one site that comes up though. Still, it's a lot less traffic directed towards us than before. I'm just going to keep rocking my cam room though. Give the guys a reason to come back and see me again. No biggie.

They process payments every Wednesday from the previous week. Fedex should arrive By Friday for the earnings of the previous week, and i hope it does otherwise i payed $30 in fee for nothing, regular checks mostly on Mondays,but there been some happy occasions, but rare, the check arrived Saturday.. Since contests started, the regular check came very late like Wednesday instead of Monday. Hopefully won't be a trend. You need to change your payment info, method before every wednesday by Tuesday to take effect.

What sort of settings should I be using on the encoder for a VERY low upload speed? Talking 0.33 here. I need to drop the quality so that I don't have a 5+ second lag, but don't know what I'm doing on the encoder.
Or should I just use the online chat page? If so, what setting should I choose to stream with that?

HTML5 video streaming technology doesn't really require any plugins to work on the receiving end. I think there are encoders that help with better encoding for HTML5 but I can't be sure. I figure since Streamate did invest into creating their own branded broadcaster they will try to get us models to use it for the future. They will probably try to deter splitcamming this way but, I can't be 100% sure.

I have found that Streamate is the best for ladies and Flirt4Free is the best for gay men. The quality on streamate is much better in my opinion.
Plus its better then the rest of the other cam sits, MFC shook things up but in the end, its about quality not quantity.

Sorry cat.
Set the rez of the cam down in logitech webcam controler to 480p. then run a calibrate. The camera itself will limit the stream in 480p.
All this hassle with the encoder to get best at 720p. And the stream isnt 720p its 540.

For mobile I think the other sites are better than Streamate. Way more feature packed and better than rhe basic offering Streamate has. Guys dont just want to be at desks jerking off they want freedom. I think Streamate needs either a feature rich app for droid and ios or they need to up their game in the mobile site. Bonga mobile is a great example. Hell even 10yr old kids have smartphones in the UK so USA must be the same. Even refugees in the news had decent smartphones. So they need to amp up this site of the site to match the market. Why should anyone have to download a special browser to view. Its down to developers to ensure all traffic is taken care of from their end.

My goal at the end of this summer is have that quad core laptop you mentioned in your instructional video. Then I can split SM more effectively, or just run 2 laptops with SM on the better one. So it won't matter one way or the other. I'm splitting that fucking site no matter what they do. ;-)

I was dropping exclusives left and right today. randomly crashed about 4 times in 3 hrs as well. not as bad as yesterday, but still enough to piss me off.
I will say this: For all the bitching and moaning I do about tech issues on SM, I'm making 30% more on sm in any given hour than I do on CB, I'm 100% less stressed, my in private % has skyrocketed in the past month, and I'm starting to build up a regular following. Streamate has made me fall back in love with camming & I no longer feel like I'm about to have an anxiety attack every time I have to cam. Sooooo much easier than entertaining 100+ guys & not even knowing if you'll hit your daily goal!
