Dumb Question: In order to get be qualified for a prize one must rank 500 or below for only one day? I don't participate in the contests, but I'm in the high 500's now.
it is the ranking at the end of the week. Participation prize is for any one who hits the levels after 25 hours top 500 or not.

I'm confused by this : During this select days contest, only your best three days will be used below to determine your ranking. The other days won't count towards your ranking. The top 500 performers will earn a prize.
I'm now in the 400's wondering if I'll get the $100 at the end? It's not important just wondering.

The only count your best three days, so say you worked 5 days, 1. 400 2. 300 3. 600 4. 199 5. 299, they would only count 1-3 in the ranking, to get the prize for top 500 you need to be ranked there by the end. They update rankings all week in 5 minute increments, so 2:05PM, 2:10PM and so on.

I hate dudes so much sometimes. I pride myself on never getting anything below a 5 rating (and also I don't work as much as I should so I really don't have that many ratings to begin with), and some idiot just rated me a 1 because either his volume was off or he was experiencing a glitch. Everyone else in free chat could hear me, but he couldn't. Then he decided to take me private without asking because he assumed that would solve the problem? But since he still couldn't hear me he got mad, left after a minute, and rated me a 1.
I was ignoring him to begin with because he asked me about wearing thongs and then started talking about how his mom wears thongs and how she has a big ass and it was getting gross anyways. His username is Nervasssman if anyone else wants to watch out

He was probably being spiteful cause you were ignoring him and weren’t paying attention to his rubbish. I decline most shows where they haven’t asked me first. Usually because they end up undesirable, and it’s manners to ask. You can dispute the rating though as it’s only a minute into a show. Support should remove it for you

I’ve been trying to work this out too this morning. Hovered over the video screen and every button possible and can’t see any camera option to change the snapshot.

I'm using Chrome and was prompted to take a new one, but if the image is shit then taking a new one isn't an option. The preview for viewing the screenshot is so small that I can't see if it's good or not then I'm stuck with the shot. It's a 24 hr period before allowed to take another screenshot.

I came here to post about that too. No option for me either, and that's annoying, because if the pic is not "working" for me, I am stuck with it for 24 hours. Boo!

I had one that said that the sound was breaking up- it was intermittent for him. Other members didn't have an issue - so my guess it's their connection.
I would have them refresh the page to resolve it

Btw Idk if this is an option for anyone, but when we first got the live photo thingie if I didn't want to deal with it I'd open up a pic from my photo gallery full-sized in a new window and take a pic of it on my screen with the cam.
(I'd keep doing it but since all the c920s were sold out when my last one crapped out I bought some cheaper one that doesn't autofocus on the screen well enough so it looks a little blurry when I do it.)

yes i do. first come first serve. i do cut out the audio and say voice is not available in chat w other members bc they do get confused.
if we go private and if the member sends his immediate cam i reject it and OOPS! MY BAD I MEANT TO HIT ACCEPT? OH MY GOD, Im so sorry sm needs to fix that ... if they bolt, they bolt if they stay its another 30 sec countdown before it's accepted
i offer phone in exclusive chat and voice w cam

I was but I've been sick with a cold now for nearly 2 weeks. Did 4hrs yesterday, went for a nap, my boyfriend tried to wake me for my 2nd shift about 3 hours later but I ended up sleeping for 14hrs straight.

I use boleyn to get daily pay, they take 5% but you can get some of it back if you work 6 days in a week.
Make sure you put your rates to something higher than the usual AW pricing to reflect the low % you get on streamate. Guys are used to paying $5-$10+ for pvts

Getting really fed up of guys who don’t speak in guest but take me for a show anyway. They always want something I don’t offer either in general or in the option they’ve chosen. I appreciate getting paid to explain I don’t offer what they want but it’s just annoying and shows they’re gonna be rude imo.

I read something from a model on here saying she always makes them ask before taking her private and I started doing the same thing. I have something in my room topic advising them to ask me and I normally decline them if they don’t. Most of the time they come back and ask me.
I used to accept all shows no matter what and the ones who didn’t ask were usually rude, wanted stuff I don’t offer or would deliberately clear my room out and leave before the charge. Every now and again I’ll accept one who takes me without asking and it’s rarely ever different.
You might feel like you’re turning down money doing it but it puts you back in charge of the situation and for me personally, it saves me so much headache. Sometimes you’re better off waiting for nicer customers.

I'm glad you said it. AW used to be an amazing site. Came back with 0 feedback after the 2016? USA purge, paying for placement and now its chock full of weirdos emailing you their pathetic fetishes (feedback or not), and shitload of compliments in free chat whilst asking you to stand or bend over and no tips. I had 1 show last week and I've gotten 3 calls from directchat (like 1 call a day 5 min each for some strange reason).
I may have a love hate relationship with SM but at least they tip, and go pvt. If you put in 3h, you'll get something. AW? You get "Do you meet?" yet haven't spent a dime on cam. Ummm you won't be able to afford my meet rate its clear, why are you asking? Even had some random male escort message me in detail what he wanted to do to me whilst apologizing saying "I hope you don't mind." I DO. You were in my chat not spending and now you're emailing me >< I might just throw in the towel with cam (at least free chat) and just keep the phone on. Horrid. Maybe its just the lockdown? Wasted 50gbp on positioning and availability and have made half of that back.
I agree. AW used to be alright for me but now it's absolute trash but for a couple of good regs that I have from the old days. I don't know why I bother, I should probs splitcam with NF instead.

I've come to the realization that for right now this is the 'norm' especially with the pandemic and times being so uncertain. I came across a documentary recently called American Hollow, they had next to nothing yet had thankful hearts and positive attitudes. It was humbling to say the least. Definitely made me re evaluate myself and my self entitled attitide i sometimes have as a cam girl. It's a hard pill to swallow but at the end of the day I'm indoors where it's safe and still able to make a living. Money comes in little trickles now and shows are far and few between but i guess all i can do is keep fighting the good fight.

Girls, im thinking of making videos for sale on SM. Are we allowed to use any type of music/songs on background or that would mean copyright issue and wont be approved? Thank you.
We cannot play any music, copyrighted or not. Only music SM has already approved in their Music Library can be used for videos. The link to their music library is here: https://streamatemodels.com/smm/music.php
This is what SM has to say about music in any uploaded videos for sale:
"ALL TRACKS WITHIN THE MUSIC LIBRARY ARE LICENSED BY STREAMATE AND ARE ONLY INTENDED FOR USE ON THE STREAMATE PLATFORM. **AUDIO THAT DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM STREAMATE MUSIC LIBRARY IS STILL PROHIBITED FROM USE IN VIDEO GALLERY VIDEOS."

i was browsing the contest leaderboard and found it interesting that model in the #1 spot says this when you click on it: Sorry, we couldn't find what you were looking for. Here are some performers you might like. I hope she's aware, I'd be pretty upset to do all that work just to disappear. i can only imagine how much work models do to place decently.
