I have, and I absolutely love it! ( I posted about it a few pages back). Guys seem to get off on the fact that I'm outside and could get caught. I could charge $100 per minute, and they'd still pay. A couple of times, I was driving, and had my phone down on the console. Turns out that a couple of guys took me private, and I didn't even realize it until I got home to my computer. Lol!
When I'm back inside, I still get tons of traffic, but very few sessions. Oh well. Ymmv

I have cammed without sound, when I was renting a room from a nosy whack job that didn't know I cammed, and was always home.
It was awesome. I just told the guys about my situation,^^^, and they totally understood. They dug the idea ( like the phone camming), that I was sneaking around.
I enjoyed it, because I hate making small talk. Or cock talk.
I use a PC, so maybe someone with a Mac can jump in to help you with turning off the sound.

I was able to get it to stream but I had to keep scrolling to see who was entering/exiting/talking. It would scroll itself the wrong way. Someone would enter/leave/talk and I was back to the beginning of the very first person who entered. Super annoying. I love the idea. I could cam so much easier but ugh. I hope they can improve on it sooner then later.

That would be allowed? I never thought about heading out to my SUV hahaha but I thought we had to get permission first? No issues for you with the scrolling of people coming in/out and talking? I had to keep scrolling down to see what was going on because it would shoot me right back to the very first person who entered. It was so annoying.

yes hun, you can work without sound, some will hate it and leave, some will love it and stay, you will sure make enough as long as you are confident and assertive and stand your ground, not letting them tell you "wow you are charging this and that for a show with no sound" "Heck yes, I am!! ". Just disable your mic from the lower right corner of the screen, click Sounds, Recording, and disable the mic from there. On Windows. If you are on a mac I don't know but I guess there is a way to disable your mic from there too. Good luck!

I checked with Liz before I streamed. She said that as long as no faces are on cam,( besides mine), that noises ( people talking) in the background is ok.

Because I saw this message on my Card Portal page:

Does anyone know... will we still be able to get the payments from Streamate? Will we get paid on Saturday instead? Ugh...this is stressful :(

Since Sunday I've been getting inundated with ins & outs. Like literally entering long enough to see my face then leaving very quickly. It's bothersome especially when the income has been low. It's easier to deal with if I've made goal, but if not...it's like kill me already.

Today is an amazing day. I slept 9+ hrs, killed an hr long Spinning class, ate asparagus, power greens, 3 eggs, a whole large avocado, with shredded cheddar cheese, also have had 70 ounces of water so far today.
I'm quite happy with traffic and conversation on cam today. It's usually my slowest day, but traffic has been flowing. I haven't made a killing in 2.5 hours, but I may be turning first time members into future customers.
I said it was a good day earlier and it's continued to be.

I don't show my face while in public chat, because I'm "multitasking". I'm watching tv lol then when someone messages me, I pay attention to them, while still watching tv. I always mute my sound and only offer sound in pvt or excl. One thing I like about SM is that I can mute my sound. I hate having to stare at the screen on MFC of CB, with music on, and try to be "entertaining". I like sitting on my butt and relaxing.

I have been experimenting in the slow times and to be honest if you run a gold show which 100% is true to what you will do just start that fucker up and guys will join even without anyone joining - if you have no sound have it all typed out in save and show yourself to them if they do not read what they entered that's there fault. I can watch tv in the hours I cant cam properly or if its slow and I cant be arsed hey $150-200 for sitting watching tv all good with me in the slower months. These gold show guys are cheap with the exception with some that are like gold dust but only do gold shows and still love you no matter what.
BUT
I will say this your ranking goes lower much lower they like there girls to be bright eyed and bushy tailed but hey I am only like that with a big amount of traffic so it works both ways. not prepared anymore to sit on for even 2 hours without 100 in my pocket u may say those days are gone but they truly are not. xxx

Hi,
I'm having this problem on SM where in my ranking page I appear as not streaming Widescreen and HD, when my OBS encoder settings are 1920x1080 downscaled to 1280x720, and my aspect ratio 16:9. I am streaming at 30 fps, 2000 max bitrate, and my upload speed is about 150mb up, so should be more than plenty. Also streaming with a brand new i7 8th gen laptop with 16 ram. Maybe I am using the wrong OBS settings? Does this happen to anyone else?
Thanks a lot! x

In the properties setting of your video capture device, set it to Custom and then 1280x720. That might help.

The problem is, I used to use TransferWise to send money from my CosmoPay account into my actual bank account, but ever since the change I haven't been able to do that because Cosmo doesn't allow the transaction. I've written to them several times and they don't respond to me, they also didn't respond on twitter. I've written to CosmoPay a few times in the past about various issues and they've literally never responded to a single email. I won't be able to keep using them if I can't get my money in my bank account. What sort of experiences do people have with SMPay?
Not replying to your question, hopefully it helps, but I don't have CosmoPay or SMPay or any other payment processor thing, I get paid by Streamatate via TW, I just fill out all my US account infos in my Streamate account tab (ACH -direct deposits- are not available even for US members or bank accounts, so I have to put routing wire number to get my payout into my TW US account).
Now that TW recently ruled out a change for payee names I have to contact support to add a few names to my Streamate original payee name since we can't change it manually, but this is another story, (but I haven't been using Streamate for A WHILE, so I don't worry about that for now).

You have to email support in order to get your rates raised higher. It usually takes no longer than a day or two, unless it's the weekend.

Most girls, including myself, make exclusive higher. I do want I want in private-usually slowly strip and masturbate, and do limited requests, like if they want to see my ass quick or lick my nipple, but nothing too detailed. If they want cam to cam, phone, outfit requests, or roleplay, they have to go exclusive.
However, a few girls make their privates higher on purpose because they prefer to be in exclusive and hate peepers. It's really up to you.

TW is not "partnered" as a payout method with Streamate. You have to sign up on your own. It's a multi currency bank account, that's why is the best option, IMO, for anyone who gets paid in a different currency than their own. Sorry if you already knew that. So Liz can't help you with that. Currencyexchange fees are cut by a whole lot with TW. ANd it's prompt! I have never had any issues with late payments with Streamate anyway. But I've only get paid by wires so is always that 1-2 working days to get into your account. Anyway just check out TransferWise FAQ on their site.
In my SM payout tab info, I'm listed under "currently not eligible to work in US" or something, but I basically have a US bank account using TW, so I can get ACH and wires easily (in this case, wires only IDK why direct deposit is not available with SM, and SM charges you 40 bucks for that).

I know that's why I wanted to use TW. I have an account with them but I emailed Liz to change my account name so that I can receive wire transfers to my TW account. But first she said "you can't because you are in France and we don't do wire transfers there" (even though in my email I mentioned it's a US BASED ACCOUNT. I replied specifying that, and got no reply.
Just emailed support, and they told me that can't because of the "Know Your Customer" policy. WTF? X Y Z is my legal name, how is it an issue to just add "TRANSFERWISE FBO" in front of that? So annoying.

I understand not wanting to take the risk, but how would they know it's being used for that purpose? SM uses a different name on all payment and tax docs, and there is no way for TW to link my performer name to my legal name. I mean, if they did that would require some straight up hacking.

Update: after pushing back with support, they said they talked to their bank and they can make the change manually. I hope they get it right and I don't end up having my payment sent back! I'll let you know how it goes.
Wait- so for SWIFT payments the transferwise FBO isn't necessary?

Sweet!
Hopefully it goes all smooth.
When I used to cam on SM on a regular basis (I was using that FirstChoice bank transfer thing back then, prompt and no issues but still lost so much on bank currency exchange) I was super close to open a US account. And then C4S went on board with SEPA last year, pheew.
Their support confirmed is a must only when getting paid by wire, and leave it out for all the other transfers (we were talking about getting $ into $ accounts btw).

03-05-2019, 02:16 PM
And what happened?
I was aware they can do that for various reasons. And that they don't allow adult transactions, but as long as is not a p2p transfer I thought it would have been not much of a risk (I usually don't even bother using non adult friendly ways to get my money btw!! Beside amazon, but is gifts I don't exchange any goods and don't use my work email nor I link it anywhere, bet they wouldn't care and ban it anyway lol)

I either had to show them an invoice, website or company details of the sender.
Took forever to please them (over 3 weeks and my money was frozen during that time) and once they found out it was an adult payment i lost my money and transferwise account.
So, just a heads up, it's not worth the risk or the stress.

I've been noticing that for the past few days my potential viewers number is a lot lower. Even though my placement is the same I will only have viewers numbering in the 20s and 30s, that usually only happens to me if my placement gets screwed up and I'm at the bottom of the first page. It seems like once I've been streaming for around ten minutes the viewer amount starts to go back to normal, but as soon as I come out of a pvt it starts all over again.
