Hello :) I wanna ask you ladies if some of you have been allowed to stream at 4k or 1440? I just check 1440 and nothing happens and still appear 1980x1080. I dunno. Thanks in advance. is some new update I saw when I click the resolution. :(
No, the site isn't capable of streaming in 4K yet. It's not even in 1080 even though it shows you streaming in it. Once it's reverted to output the members are still seeing you in 720 so don't sweat all of that yet. Technology takes a while. Even if they did have the capability of letting you stream in 4K you'd probably crash for most of the members that tried to view you on their flip phones LOL.

becareful about even selecting the "4k"
i have super fast fiberoptic and a new computer , even then i was getting red feed, frozen screen ect.
this setting caused me to loose 3 shows right when i logged on. had to restart my computer and bump down the setting
by the time i did all that.. the clients were gone!

Out of curiosity, what specs of wifi are needed to not lag or be choppy and or pixelated? Reason I'm asking is bc last night I finally got hot spot data enabled on my phone & have just been tethering it to my computer to stream on SM. It seemed to work & I was all green for a bit but it still flucuated throughout my streaming.
It says SM connect os a low latency thing but if thats the case then why can't I stream with hotel wifi? Hell even my phone's hot spot data seemed a bit off according to the custys.

Hey! I just figured I’d jump in here and say hi since I am going to be jumping into Streamate soon. I have been an online dominatrix for almost four years now, although I’ve haven’t really been hustling since March of this year. I have decided to add Streamate to my income streams when I make my comeback, and therefore am trying to get well-acquainted with it so I am not intensely stressed out by it when I start streaming on it.

I have the highest internet package "(so sprint says,, not my regular, i had got phone/house internet mixed up) and I can’t stream using my computer tethering from my phone.
I can use my phone fine on internet from my house
i got it mixed up the first try posting
if you are taking your laptop you can request a room with a ethernet connection. it doesn't increase speeds a lot but it streams steady

I use a c922 with that option. I had voice issues but they straightened out.
It doesn’t gives other webcams like 920 that option
If I’m streaming 4K or not.. ppl have to have devices that play 4K

I don’t give up too easy. I would spend a hour or more to connect it. It times out after 2 minutes
It happened for 2 weeks. Everyday. I emailed them October 5th after a week.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with my computer. My specs are great. I think they wanted to blame my crashes but the iPad did it as well. They told me to use the browser. I already use the browser on iPad. NEON hasn’t been working properly.
I emailed them and my problem was fixed that day with no explanation
I know when it is sm or my computer.
As long as my problem is fixed when I email them I don’t question it.
This!!!my specs are great too,+ I tried another laptop and got the same. I bet its SM.
You have steel nerves, Erika, if you emailed them after one week! I turned it into drama the first day it started to occur lol. Messaged them like 8 times.
Guess what...tonight it is working. Purrfectly. lol. I could bet 100$ that when they invent some new feature they have to update the whole SMConnect and it affects models, no matter how good their equipment is. But I hate to be idle for a week. It kills the mojo.

6.5 hrs to make medium goal. That's it...it just takes around 6 hrs to make my med goal now. Just gotta STFO these days. There was a period of 2 hrs where I ddin't make a dime. Just totally dead. Well, it is what it is.
It really is a waiting game.

so far it's working for me tethering but only bc i'm only streaming on one site. I've made a little money but obviously this was only meant for emergencies haha. The hotel I'm in won;t switch me rooms without me having to check out for so many days then back in bc of covid safety. I'm here another week & so far making back the motel rent I;ve paid which isn;t too bad I suppose.

Yeah, now that I've accepted it takes hours I don't get frustrated anymore. I just STFO and I can make goals. Sundays used to be great tho. $350-$400 in 6 hrs. That's long gone now tho. I stay 6-8 hrs and I'm lucky to make out with $150. That used to really piss me off, now I've just accepted it.
I think acceptance is the key. It's easier to ride the rollercoaster this way lolollll.

So I'm new on here and fairly new on SM. I hear girls talking about level 2 and 3 clients. Is this the same as Chatterbut where more generous men have different colours? If so how do you tell if you have a whale in the room.
Ambercat
11-11-2020, 09:05 AM
You can't tell if you have a whale in your room per say. The levels are related to how much they've spent on you, so if they've spent more than a dollar but less than $100 they're level 1, I think level 2 is up to about $1k but I've never sat and added up the spend of one customer as each transaction is on a separate line and their spend list gets pretty long when they're buzzing your toy a dollar at a time. I've got some level 3s but no idea what higher levels are!
Miss_ShaSha
11-11-2020, 09:15 AM
I had a whale become a level 4 in about 6 weeks. He had to have spent close to $10k. Right, you won't know who is a potential whale. You will just know who spends on you.

I think the low amount for level 1 changed. I have guys who have tipped in free a dollar here and there and they are not marked as having ever spent money on me. Same for a dollar or two spent in private or on gold show. I think it may be $5 is the low now? It used to be anyone who spent money but over the summer I have noticed it is not like that anymore. Super annoying because I would like to know if they have EVER spent money on me without having to click their notes.

Contrary to popular belief (if you read SW too much)
Men ARE smart & WILL spend money regularly on models they feel an attraction & connection with.
It's RARELY the member's fault, most often the model is at fault. YOU are the lucky one that HE is in your room. ;-)

When I was having bitrate issues with my brand new i7 8gb laptop it was my ISP. I had to call them after trying everything I could to correct the issue. They had to set the channel to accommodate the fact I was streaming so much. After they reset the channel my bitrate issues resolved themselves. Usually bitrate issues are due to your ISP.

That is good to know. My spec is the same but it is an older model now. I am on a dongle because my business line isn't working for some issues. I bet that will be it. I will contact them thank you.

Is it constant? To where you're regularly in the red? There's a glitch that happens with SM where the RTT shoots up super high and every time it does my bitrate temporarily plummets(usually not into the red but occasionally), but then it shoots right back up, and it will keep cycling the entire time I'm streaming. I assume it's on SM's end because nothing on my end is different and no customers ever complain about my video quality when it's happening. Now, when my bitrate just stays low and guys are saying my video is blurry is when the issue ends up being on my end.
But to agree with ShaSha, when bitrate issues are on my end 9.5 times out of 10 it has to do with my upload speed dropping so you want to check out all the stuff going on with your ISP before you buy a new computer hoping it will fix it.

Yes. To add, I had done a few dif speed tests with my upload 21 or 22 which is more than enough. It wasn't lighting either as I have the same light set up. It was the actual channel on my router which I couldn't have changed on my own. It had to be done through ISP.
Yeah, hope that resolves it cause a whole new system with the same issue would suck if you only need to get with ISP.
We have a new week contest, no wonder traffic is bad this week, sunday i did well but since then just terrible :(

There's so many damn things that can affect it. I had intermittent issues for years that were only finally fixed when a guy from my ISP replaced the huge main cable leading to my place for me. Just recently it started happening again but it was because the infrastructure in my area needed to be upgraded for all of the people now constantly home using the internet, I had issues the whole 2 weeks while they were working on it.

It’s a best face forward contest at least. I panicked when I saw there was a contest, it’s my first full month back since August and I don’t think I could have hacked a full week of hammering long hours out every single day.
I swear they’re more frequent lately. Or is this my imagination? I suppose it encourages people to stay online when it’s as dead as it has been.

Omg it’s SO quiet. No more than one potential at any point, and about 4 people in my room all together in past half an hour, 3 of them left with ‘user connection issue’....
Update: almost 2 hours in and haven’t made a penny, not even close to making a penny. Oh Jesus, today is going to be a long day!

I was just about to say how surprisingly good SM has been for me and how I'm feeling oddly motivated to work this week. Then I saw the posts about the contest.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! I really need next week to NOT be trash. I only have one full week left that I can cam before I go on maternity leave.

They are doing it about every 2 weeks. BFF ones I mean. Not the holiday related.

Hi guys,
I am new to the forum so I thought I could join the conversation :) I've been camming on Myfreecams part-time since 2018, but I changed it to Streamate two months ago. This week has been the absolute worst! Like 13% in paid chat, the rest just crickets :D I am on the first page, but slowly sliding down and I am so anxious of eventually getting to the second page. It's so damn slow, but I see it's not only me...
Stay consistent and motivated girls and guys, I hope it will get better soon <3 If anyone wants to become camming buddies, feel free to message me - I would absolutely love to be able to cheer each other up on the bad days and celebrate on the good ones :)

I definitely noticed any time sm does an update or adds new features my bitrate drops dramatically...like down to .01 dramatic. Its normally just fine but then today my bitrate was jumping around like crazy!!! I have the highest package from xfinity and pay extra for a speed boost. What do you mean by having them reset your channel? I'm curious if that's what I may need to do.

2 hours on cam and $19... It's so exhausting when it's slow. I'm starting to think if it's worth doing long shifts if it doesn't bring money anyway.
Girls who make now close to nothing too - are you on the first page or further? Does the second page bring much less money? Because I don't really see a difference :D

The channel on my router. I just let them know I stream a lot. Didn't say the platform & they switched the channel. Zero issues since & that was a couple months ago.

I'm making pretty much nothing now..... Went from $150-$200 on a 3 hour morning shift to maybe a few bucks. I "banked" LMFAO on Monday morning with $60. Made $2 Tuesday (6 hours online) and $0 yesterday (90 minutes). Not even enough this week to pay my electric bill. Cool.
