I have free videos uploaded but they have never been used for promo that i know of.
I would just be weary bc of whitelabels known to use material.
We dont know if we give links to whitelabels when they are under a customer acct.

Hell no! I wouldn't trust putting my vids on their site!

I'm perfectly happy having it in my topic that vids are for sale and then custies tip for them, I send them the link and voila SM have no control over anything. How long until the vids end up on Pornhub etc. as 'marketing' or something? Not taking that chance - it takes 5 secs to create a link and email it.

On the topic of the new 'notes' section it is annoying having to scroll down and it popping up as a small box, the old notes were much easier and quicker to navigate. But at least now we know why SM has been glitch central the past few days. I knew they were fucking with something!! :banghead:

It sounds that they wanna get rid of the current system we are using to sell videos... like they want to force us in any moment to only use their system?
If they do that, they better give us at least 85% of the sales... just saying

I'm somewhat happy about this feature however they're still being Streamates with it. Ladies have been asking them for away to sell videos for years and they refused so models got creative and figured out a way to do it themselves. Now years later they finally listened but the processed is 5x more extensive than what models came up with. All models have to do to send custies videos is upload their video and send a link.

With SM's feature its the same process as what models created...accepting gold for videos and sending custies the video but now there's like 100 extra steps. Now models have to make sure there's no music on the video, upload it, add names/description/tags, wait up to 72 for it to be approved, once its approved select the members who receive the video and then finally send it. The steps are so excess....why couldn't the make a system like clips4sale or any other pay to download site. Why do models always have to deal with extra-ness when it comes to these so called improvements(I checked out the custies profile and I see what you guys are talking about). Can we ever get anything easy/streamlined?

If a model already has all of her videos uploaded to a third party site why would she go through this process to move all of her videos over? And what happens when it comes to video packages or photos, photo packages?

Are you already sending downloadable videos as rewards though another site? We're very happy to offer you a solution that makes uploading and sharing your videos easier than ever! In the future, this tool will replace all other way to share video with Streamate members.

I highly doubt that SM isn't going to try an take ownership of our content if its uploaded to their site. They think they're slick, lol. The bold makes it seem like they're going to be cracking down on how models sell their content in the future. Like we wouldn't be able to use other sites for downloads.

Edit: @MsJess I just saw your post. I wrote the same dam thing. I must've been typing as you were posting...

I know this has been asked before but it's kind of difficult to search for it using the search facilities as every thread that mentions gold shows comes up! I just done a gold show that got disconnected at 20ish secs, what are the chances of them paying me for this show?

I have already messaged Liz as is normally the advice on here but was wondering what chance I have before she messages me back. I'm very upset right now.

Thanks in advance ladies!

You get 50% chance by messaging Liz. You get 0% chance had you not messaged her.

Thank you Marina I can always count on you to make me laugh. Hopefully someone who has successfully been paid despite tech issues will come forward and then I will be one of the lucky few. At 20 secs it seems a little unfair to be penalised but that is the chance you take I suppose.

Got this in my email.. because I showed interest in testing new features early.. to bad I don't do videos lol sharing tho for those that do this will be coming out

We're contacting you because you showed interest in helping us test new Streamate Model features early. Your account has been chosen to get early access to our expanded video gallery tool! Read the details below, and we hope you try it out and send us some feedback over the next few days. Thank you for helping us out!

Until now, the video gallery has helped you manage non-explicit content that viewers can watch on your profile. With this update, you can now upload private videos, both explicit and non-explicit, and share them only with the members you choose!

Private videos can be shared with members who have paid you in the past two weeks. You can use private videos to:
send a special gift to your top spenders of the day
reward all your Gold Show contributors if you hit your Gold goal
remind your favorite regulars to stop by later

...or any other way you want to! Read the instructions below to get started.

Using the New Video Manager


Access the new video gallery on your Performer Dashboard. Under "My Profile," find the "Galleries" section and click on "Videos." The new Video Manager will list any videos you've already uploaded. From here you can edit video names and descriptions, check on the status of submitted videos, or upload new videos.

To add a new video, find and click the "Upload New Video" button at the top. Follow the instructions on the page to choose a video file to upload:

File size must be no larger than 512mb.
File formats accepted are mpg, mov, wmv, or mp4.
For copyright reasons, NO music or copyrighted material is allowed in videos.
Videos can't direct users to any other sites.

While the file is uploading, add a name, description, and some helpful tags. Then mark the video as "Explicit" or "Non-explicit." Marking the wrong option may slow down the approval process. Non-explicit videos can be added to your public video gallery by making sure "Add to Bio Page" is checked.

Click "Submit for Approval" when finished. Your video will be reviewed within 72 hours to make sure it follows all rules listed in Code of Conduct.

Sending and Viewing Private Videos


After your video has been approved, you can send it to the members of your choice! Click the "Give Videos" button on the top of the Video Manager. You'll see a list of recent paying members. You can choose any day from the last two weeks, then choose up to 100 members you want to send the video to.

Next, click "Send Videos." You can select one or more of your approved videos to send to all selected members.

That's it! Next time that member is online, they'll see a message telling them they have a new video. After being sent a video, the member will see a new "My Videos" section where they can watch it. We recommend members view videos on a desktop computer for the best experience.

Replacing Other Video Sharing Methods


Are you already sending downloadable videos as rewards though another site? We're very happy to offer you a solution that makes uploading and sharing your videos easier than ever! In the future, this tool will replace all other way to share video with Streamate members.

We encourage you to try this new solution and let us know what you think! Use the feedback instructions below to tell us how we can make this the easiest way to share video with your Streamate members.

HAHA This is a joke to me. Basically, this may kill all hope of me keeping SM in my camming hand of cards so to speak. Let's hope they don't force us to use this as the only way to send vids. If so, I'll be on the sites where I have more freedom with my content.

I'd personally rather have them just be able to click and buy them at a set price rather than having to go through and click their name and "gift" it to them.

I wish they had this feature too, but I won't be gifting anything. They can tip me for my videos at the same rate I sell them for elsewhere. I work too hard on mine to give them out for less than that.

I'm trying the feature out. So far I like it because I had quit doing video sales at all due to the aggravation of having to upload it and worrying about getting banned for giving out a link and having the not so bright customers not be able to figure out how to download a video. Now it will be super easy and convenient to sell my vids. Also going to use it to deliver custom videos.

If you are in the beta test they will send you an email with instructions how to upload and mark it private and explicit. It's not been released to everyone yet.

By "gifting" I wasn't suggesting any of us giving away anything for free. I put it quotes as I think it's ridiculous that's the way Streamate decided to frame it. I'm moreso critiquing all the unnecessary extra steps they are making us do. I also hate the way it's framed as "gifting" because I don't want clients thinking they're entitled to getting free shit.

Maybe its a cache issue? Try clearing it or perhaps something with pop ups being disabled? Ive had this issue in the past but sadly I can't remember what resolved it? https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95472?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

Can you not click on anything at all or is it just the start show button that's not clickable?

Even though it's listed as a pay adjustment on the 12/25 week earnings, I received my Christmas contest bonus earlier this week, on the paycheck for the week of 12/18 (that was sent out on the 28th). It is listed as "additional compensation."

It sounds confusing, but check your payment history.

Mine is listed as additional compensation in payment history for the week of 12/25 issued on 1/4. Weird they don't send them out to everyone at the same time.

I started camming on Streamate about a month and a half ago, and made pretty GREAT money for weeks.... until my laptop's hard-drive decided to suicide. I just got it fixed, 2-3 weeks later.
Now that i'm not in the "New-Model" section, i'm concerned that i'm going to get nobody in my room anymore even though it was POPPIN' before my laptop died.
Is it worth picking it up again on Streamate, or do you think I should try to start up on another site now.

Any other advice is appreciated!

Hi
Sorry to hear your hard drive went out on you and you lost some time in the new girl status but if you have built up some regs they will come back.It will unfortunately now take time online to keep building up regulars even if you started on a new site you would still have the same thing to do with the new girl status running out. Taking time and putting your hours online is the way to make money, consistency is key in camming if you want to make great money. I would say to stick with it and work hard and push through it eventually with time and dedication you will build a following and the money will follow, but it will take time to happen. Hope this helps.

Hmm, that is odd. Are you sure that's not for the New Years contest? I didn't work that weekend so I don't know when that bonus got sent out.

I don't think there was an extra bonus for New Years and I definitely didn't get into the top 200. It is listed on the paystub as additional compensation with a date of 12/29.

High tipper on a GS D/Cd with the notification "user was removed manually". Read on support pages that SM removed them....any idea why?

Could have been a stolen card or a chargeback.

Is there any way I can get my fps up to 30? I'm only getting 20 fps right now with the encoder. I'm using Verysoft but only splitting with Skype. My bitrate is at 2000 and my upload is 20 - 25mbps. The connection is hardwired. Any ideas?

*Forgot to add that I have a C920 and this PC is the equivalent of an I5. I was using a USB extension cable for the cam and just took it off to see if that helps. Any advice would be appreciated :)

Open logitech software, click the video tab, uncheck right light, uncheck auto focus and drag it all the way to the left, save and click okay.

I forgot to add that I already have all those options off. No right light/sound and the focus is already on the left. But thanks because that reminded me to uncheck them on my laptop :) For some reason it looks like Verysoft is capping it at 20fps anyway. I just watched Hyori's video on splitcamming with it and changed a few things. Crossing my fingers now.

*Not sure what exactly made the difference, but whatever I changed worked!

I've seen girls post hashtags in their rooms. Inevitably leading guys to twitter. Anyone know if this is against SM's rules?

^^ I got a 24 hour suspension for hashtags so I wouldn't suggest posting them.

Has anyone seen/taken the new survey from SM (in your inbox)? It is "focused on performers who are paid directly by Streamate" - and one of the survey questions says this:

We want to add more payment options in the future. Would you be interested in using any of these payment methods? Check ALL that apply.
WebMoney
ePayServices
PayPal -- ????
OKPay

Um, why are they asking us if we'd be interested in using PayPal? Isn't that like, the biggest no-no in the adult/camworld, or am I missing something?

Also I've never heard of any of the other options. Does anyone have anything to say about them? I wrote in the survey that I want to have a Direct Deposit option.

I haven't checked my inbox yet. But umm *very* big No No as Paypal does *not* allow adult related payments!! What the hell are they thinking??!

From my understanding Adult sites are able to do payroll with Paypal (but they still need to be careful) but Paypal can't be used to pay for adult services. I got paid via PP on Cams for a few months but switched back to DD because I was paranoid that my PP account would be closed or my payments would be frozen. So even if these camsites offer PP as a way to get paid I still wouldn't use that option because of how janky PP can be. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Streamate is driving me nuts lately. I am making money on there but my god it feels like I am really 'earning' every cent and everyone wants exclusive NO ONE wants a gold show. I never thought I would see that and I am not complaining but still they can't all have me to themselves!

I wrote in the survey that I want to have a Direct Deposit option.

I did also. I wrote that I would like a real direct deposit rather than having a third party direct deposit through Payoneer. I get my money direct to my bank every Tuesday, but I don't like the fact that the money is being handled by a third party first, would rather it go direct to my bank.

Does anyone know if the new video feature will still be paid out at 35%? Because if that's the case I can't imagine customers wanting to pay what I'll have to jack prices up to to get the same profits as from other video sites. I think the lowest payout of the video sales sites that I use is 60%, thats a huge gap. Not that i feel like trusting SM with my videos anyway, but if I did it wouldnt be for 35%.

35% across the board

imo this will work out for studio models to help off set studio fees a bit .. just a thought

Does anyone know if this new video feature will become the only way to sell content on SM? Will it become compulsory and is this what they are angling for to cut out third parties like Project M etc.? If so I am going to be so annoyed as a good portion of my income comes from guys willing to tip $25+ each for my videos and I don't want to trust SM with rights to my content. Why mess with a good thing? They get to keep 65% of the amount whether we use third party download sites or not!!! :stop:

They want to keep guys on the site at all costs. I swear some higher up at SM is ejaculating in his pants thinking about guys having to visit SM in order to watch a damn video they already purchased. It's completely misguided.
Instead of changing with the times they're doubling down on their own shitty ideas.
Mygirlfund pulled shit JUST LIKE THIS and we can see what that site turned into, a fucking graveyard.

Is there a way to just click a button and see how much we have made for the previous year? All in 1 shot? So far I can only find " previous payments" , select the year and starts adding it all up , week by week. So time consuming.
