Last week started pretty bad for me. Sun and Mon the slowest I've experienced in a long time then Tues was slow but I kept at it for hours upon hours and made high goal. Then the rest of the week flowed. It's great to hear Sun went well for you even some of the time as it was a total flop for me.
Here's to hoping this week rocks for you. Sending you love and light <3
It’s been a funny past week or so. Even yesterday and today I’ve noticed huge ups and downs in the short times I’ve been on. I’m doing longer hours for the rest of this week now so I’ll definitely be channeling that STFO energy I’m sure!!
Thank you so much! and I hope you keep smashing it too!! You’ve got this <3

Do you guys think its from the "contest" that its like it is today? I was top of the page and now I'm way down the page, barely any potentials and long gaps in between guests. Not sure if its cause my placement dropped (maybe I missed to many days or maybe to many girls are on right now) or if its just how traffic is today.

I noticed daytime hours for me are slow. I log on afternoons around 3-4 EST but its been slow.
models talk about the summer slowdown but I don't see it many years. They make it sound like months but there is tiny period after 4th of July until sept that I do notice. it might be slower than normal but not detrimental if we worked a few extra hours. I have also been seeing names that havent been on since 2011, im making 60% goal.
I blame my attitude. when im a bitch I dont make what I am suppose to be making. I need to fix that.

It is slower & I'm only making what I deserve because I'm logging ridiculously long hours. Ditto on putting in more effort & Tuesdays are my slowest day so I take it off.
During days I can be found high up on page 1, but nights I'm down low. My hourly compared to eve models is far lower than day models thus placement issue.
During this bonus there is significantly more traffic for me than an actual contest but less buyers. Yes it is slow due to the season. Not impossible to survive however: you'll need to log more hrs.

I've only been on for about 30 minutes so far it's meh, seems like a trickle in traffic.

Hi,
I'm experiencing some a very low week, I would like to ask you guys about this :
I wasn't really camming the entire july cause I have another job, just maybe 2 times or 3. I wanted to come back this week cause I need to pay off a few things, but its soooooo slow, I'm barely making anything. It's a suffer to make my minimum. Sometimes nobody is in my room for literally ages.
Is this because I was absence?? or what the heck is this ? :(
thanks in advance

My room is never really banging with traffic, but today does seem slow.
Best advice is to work when you can. Take breaks, work other sites and have some side eggs- content phone sex.
If you are approved for gold shows try running them to bring in traffic. At times it can help.

There is no such a section by default, u need to contact SM and ask to have another performer added to ur account.

Sometimes is a glitch but if u cammed from mobile then it'll show mobile earnings. xx

Yes, they changed the messenger. Also, Im getting lots of traffic but no spenders. Ins and outs since yesterday. Past week was selling normal and Oh miracle¡ this bonus week started then shitty traffic and 17 so far in my pocket in 3 hours. Horrible.

Something I’ve noticed the last couple of days. I am no longer broadcasting in 19 20 x 10 80 P. I’m now broadcasting in 720. I have changed nothing, I have the fastest Internet there is in this area, which is fiber. Is this because they forced everybody to use SMC? Are they making everybody broadcast at a lower resolution because of it, and have any of you noticed the same?

Just took a peek at mine. It has "auto" and 720 p as well. My connection is fastest that my area has to offer. My upload speed usually sits at 50
__________________________________________________ ______
Edit: So I think in "Settings" it has auto to go up to the highest resolution that your system and internet can handle and then 720p as a low default.
There have been times in the past that with SMB I would go down to a lower resolution when users had problems connecting.

Thank God I've already completed the 25 hrs for bonus cause it's really slow. I'm an hour in and I've been sitting at 2 potentials for the last 10 min. Eeeek!

I had this issue for weeks and my bf (IT technician) eventually got round to taking a look, plugged my cam into a different port on my PC and the issue was solved. He hasn't explained it, I guess he likes to feel indispensable :-)

I have been using Logitech Capture to splitcam with Streamate and my recording program (as well as when I splitcam multiple token sites). Capture is no longer showing up as a source on Streamate or any other website. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?
If this is no longer an option to use Capture what can I do? I have used verysoft in the past. Is this still a viable option? Can I run my stream through OBS to Streamate?

After searching for answers and emailing every support possible I found others having a similiar issue with zoom and Logi Capture. They solved it by downloading and installing an old version of Zoom. I did the same thing and installed an earlier version of Logi Capture and BAM it works. I have to figure out how to turn off automatic updates of that program only. My patience has been truly tested in the last 24 hours. I cursed all of technology multiple times, need to undo all of that bad mojo now. LOL.
New question- I have not been able to figure out connecting my Lovense Vibe to SM, been trying for months and yes I contacted support (no help). Do I need the bluetooth adapter or an extension on chrome to connect? I connected to Manyvids with my Lovense using only the app. What am I doing wrong for SM to work with my vibrator? I have the older Lush, is this why?

Well the nerve! hhaha
Ok then I can't resist taking that ego of his down a notch. He isn't some magician - all it likely is was the fact that your cam was plugged into a USB 2.0 port and instead should be using the faster USB 3.0 port. My computer is this way too, some are 2.0 and some 3.0. There's usually a little symbol on the faster ones that says "SS" or 3.0 53302
Usually our webcams transmit so much better with 3.0. I feel like we all need to learn as much as we can since we are on our computers so much!

I have an older lush as well. If you're using smconnect (which you may have to use now), go to "settings", "interactive toys", "connect new toys", and select "lovense connect" you should be able to connect it via the lovense connect app on your phone, then be able to use it just fine.

You're so right! That's actually basic troubleshooting but I had no idea 2 types of port even existed. On inspection my 3.0s are identifiable with a little strip of blue inside, no tech degree required!
Hi ladies, one question about payments, have they been posted for the ones who are supposed to be paid tomorrow?

Hi. I was checking yesterday and didnt notice any changes in resolution or bitrate (glitches) always green because I leave that tab open. Only issue yesterday: traffic from tubes asking how the site worked, free stuff and once I mentioned pvt or this is a ppm site, they ran away. I hope is better today.

Yes, mine has posted. This happened though a few weeks ago where it didn't say payment had been processed, but the payment was made.

So I got to looking around the SM dashboard and noticed the changes they made to "Messenger" I had some messages that never showed up in my mailbox.
There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the messages from "Messenger" like there is from "Mailbox." Just an observation.
My hope is that they add PTV feature because some of the pics these guys send I really don't care to see for free.

Bitrate fluctuations, two dropped shows, and it's slow AF. SM just doesn't seem to be working today. I've got 2 more hrs in a 6 and I have a feeling it's gonna be a shame.

It's slow on my end too. I just logged back on, was on for an hour and 15 min. I am giving it a little bit to see if it picks up.

Right. Last Thursday rocked for me. This Thursday is very slow. And with this new system I have not dropped in to yellow much less red in like 15 days, but today my bitrate keeps dropping into yellow and was even in the red. Very strange.
I'm just pretty much sitting here to try & make up my time for the bonus because there is 0 traffic.
Yeah, I hear that. My potentials all day have been below 10!!! And besides a bunch of 1 GOLD tips, I've only had 4 shows. I'm at 5 hrs right now.
Hang in there. It's got to get better.

I know they've done bonus weeks in the past, but did they always have a 25 hour minimum? For whatever reason I am not recalling that as a requirement, or maybe it used to be less, like 10 hours? I dunno, I've been super out of the Streamate loop for a while.
I was in very poor mental and physical health for a lot of the pandemic, and am just now getting back in my cam groove. I feel motivated but there's no way I can pull a 25 hour week this week. I've only been capable of averaging 2-3 hours a night, but those hours have been good, like $100/hour good. So it sucks that I won't be able to benefit from a much needed bonus right now. Sigh.
Same the pandemic is really getting to me also. Can't manage even 25 hours on SM this week, terrible timing

Clients are 9/10 times COMPLETELY unable to get c2c to work recently lol...I've had 3 clients have to restart the show because c2c wouldn't even load or I wasn't getting the requests when they sent them. Just had someone buy a block, spend 3 minutes trying c2c and then got charged and left...and now I'm sitting here waiting for him because I feel terrible. I fucking hate this site.

I tell my clients to go check other rooms and they tell me they are working fine! i already did everything i could on my end
this is a nightmare
Traffic is there, but my video quality is sucking balls but ain't my fault.

^^My bitrate periodically drops really low too, but it never drops my quality down from 'Excellent,' my quality still looks clear when I click on my room and none of my customers have said my video is messed up so I'm not worrying about it.
