The point I was making wasn't that they take an obscene amount, it was that by uploading your videos, you are giving them full permission to use your content royalty free as the company sees fit.
"All content uploaded to the systems by Performer/Studio shall be works made for hire under the United States Copyright Act, as amended, to the extent eligible; otherwise, Performer/Studio hereby assigns all rights, title and interests in such content to Streamate. Streamate shall then own all such content, and Streamate will have the sole discretion to use any such content in any way it so chooses, including but not limited to in any medium and in any promotion, distribution, advertising, sales and marketing efforts, both during and after the term of this Agreement."
So even with region blocking, that awesome video you made & posted on sm to sell may end up on a late night tv ad without crediting you in any capacity. They also could post the full video for free on one of the tube sites for promo. And no, they do not have to okay it with you first.

I talked once with Liz about geo blocking. If you use it, they remove you from all the affiliates and stop any type of external promotion. So even if you give them permission to use your vids, it's against the whole point of geo blocking. At least, that's my logic, but I might be wrong. Another thing that I remember is being a Featured Performer, if you are, they can use any type of content to drive traffic into your room. But I don't know that works with geo blocking, you should definitely check with Liz.

You are correct. Geo models are only seen on cammodels.com and maybe streamate.com but the member has to be logged in to see the model.
The loop videos are pre records.

Plus, from my experience, majority of the clips are posted by affiliates, as cam4free, liveviolet and other shitty white labels that use our content to make more money. They upload them on free tube websites and make money from ads also.

It's been a strange week... I've gotten a lot of guys, way more than usual asking for pussy, squirting.
They must heard I have the best pussy online and wanna see if it's true.

That's exactly why I won't sell any videos on there. I could care less if people find out I'm camming or making adult videos, but I'm sorry, I came up with the idea for the video, paid for any props in it, spent my time filming it and editing it, they should not be taking ownership of my video just because I'm using their site to sell it.

I have a loop video posted on one of my advertising websites.
It brings the clicks and much easier and less fuss bc models assume we are jacking their profile photos for advertising social media.
Im not so sure they are posted on tube sites bc they are coded and sm owns the rights and can potentiality be banned from affiliating.
Tube sites such as Pornhub and Xvideos are sm affiliates and then there are the other tube sites under them. They only get credit if a member signs up through that clicked link.

Have all of the unintelligent men signed up for cam sites recently? Is this the way men think anymore???? When I started camming 5 years ago, these guys would actually hold conversations. They would actually go private. I would never deal with this begging on SM. This is fucking ridiculous. These assholes have zero respect for any of us. They don't respect that fact that this is how many of us women earn our living.

Now you know they can't think with the BIG head. Even though they were clear-minded enough to sign up and enter in the credit card #.

Soooo the Contest coming up is basically the past 1-2 weeks on SM, except there might be a bonus. AWESOME SAUCE :D *rolls eyes* Still wishing they'd take that bonus money and invest in some paying traffic.
Hi, When I click to test the new/beta user interface I am hung up on and error message that tells me, Please wait. This window will close once we verify your streaming connection. Is anyone else having issues or am I the only lucky one?

Two webcams? Or can you split cam through OBS?
I wanted to split with CB/AW/BONGA cams

You can use verysoft cam software to splitcam using OBS.

I don't think that's correct. When a user ends a show/leaves the room it usually just says "user left." I always thought "disconnected manually" meant someone on SM's side removed the user, for a glitch or tech issues or perhaps for breaking a rule but I kind of doubt that one.

That's correct. I had a fraudster in the past and every time he was back with a new account he was disconnected manually.

Not from what I know but with Boleyn at least, you can get your favorites transferred. I am not sure about ratings.

I just remade my profile on streamate because I was off for a while and was having trouble with placement when I got back - would anyone be willing to add some tags to my new profile before I go on for the first time? If you could add "cute", "sexy", "great tits", "great ass" and "amazing show" I'd be super grateful. It's .

There's an exclusive deal between Paypal and a particular adult card processor in Europe. Streamate might have them as part of their billing cascade. No, its still not a thing for cammodels to take.
However, you can use it to your advantage by getting the rando "Paypal BB!?!?" ding dongs that contact you on Skype to sign up under your .cammodels link.

I'm curious about random guys who already have an account and ask about paypal. Presumably if they're chatting in your room they already have a credit card on file, right? I realize it doesn't benefit me personally at all, but if a guy mentions paypal (when he already has an account) should I tell him it's a payment option?

It might not be depending on where he's from. If it were me, I'd just not risk whatever perception could come of the situation. Most websites, including us, are on a zero tolerance policy when it comes to this kind of thing.
If he already has an account, he's trying to take you off site.

^^ Im exactly here with your horny. I am so anxious right now. I just read through Boleyn models site because the reality is I might have to join them. Honestly they seem like the best option for me as well since SM is out of options but like I have to change my name!! I just cant even handle that right now because even a variation of my name is not exactly the same. My name is my name I own all the .com possibilities, I insist in all my porn contracts that they use my name I have my social media in my name I did everything right to lock it in and now I have to change it on SM! Also there is no mention of how closing our account affects our affiliate status but Im guess anyone I have under my cammodels link is no longer my client anymore so I have to start from scratch there as well.
SM said they have another option coming to us in their most recent email but if what Katy is saying is true then we are probably all going to have to sign up under a studio if we arent American.

GAWD I rely so much on my notes! I have 4 guys all with the user name Natedog and each one of them has a very different and specific fantasy role play or thing for me to do. I rely on those notes to know which nate im dealing with so when one comes in he feel special. I want all my clients to feel special!
Way back, years ago when camming was still new, I always kept my own notes on an excel spread sheet I had set up. It would be a huge hassle but I believe I could copy all my notes onto an excel spread sheet directly from SM that way I would still have them. Its a lot of work but its so important those notes that it would be worth doing.
Either way in the meantime I have switched on my paxum payout and cancelled with Cosmo. I just cant trust them right now and Paxum is more $$ but at least i can get my cash transferred into my account.

Its because its not. Nobody dealing with money is anti-anything. There are no morals in the finance world.
Paypal is a "low risk" processor. Particularly client payments in the adult world is "high risk". Its the difference between credit card companies taking 0.25% per transaction or taking 12% per transaction.
There really should be a sticky thread somewhere explaining what "high risk" vs. "low risk" means.
