If it's from "Sex Shop" that's AW themselves that are the seller. But yeah you're correct, you can also put items on your wishlist from regular sellers....which seems a but of a strange one but I guess hasn't caused issues so far. Just means the seller gets your personal info.

I thought I read somewhere that SM is working on a wishlist feature where custies could buy us physical products in the future. ( I could be wrong and just imagined it)

you aren’t imagining it, they did. I would guarantee it will be in conjunction with a specific site or brand. I never said sites wouldn’t try to be a part of the wishlist business, just that it jeopardizes our 1099 status. Other American based sites let some form of outside links, protecting their role. SM does not want outside links at all which I don’t blame them for. I’m sure their legal team is going over all this.
I also have a feeling these physical gifts are probably just excess swag from the conventions that didn’t happen this year.

and Streamate did create one, but they still get their cut. They don't want us taking customer's money off the site.
Why arent I surprised lol The wishlist is hella boring now. Wish there were more options. What cut do they get from it?

Try changing your settings, so if you stream in 1020 change it to 720 etc this worked for me x

Is it just me or has anyone else had continuous problems with the Esca 2. I'm on my third one now and this one has just died after less than a month. Their customer service is good, they sent me 2 new ones already but I'm getting tired of having to get exchanges. Ihe first one would lose battery power after 2 hours, the second one the same. Now this one has just died altogether.
The chargers seem to stop working as well after a time. I've had to swap over new chargers because they seem to look like they go rusty or something.

Ours never stayed connected long enough for us to keep using it. And as we had a ton of Lovense so we just stuck to Domi. At least it's possible to do believable "forced" orgasm play with it.

SM has GOT to do something so that models can still ban guys even after their shit-talking asses have left the room. It's stupid that we have to wait for the guy to come back in order to ban him.
new model, streaming for almost a year now. 10 years later THEY DIDN'T FIX IT and it's frustrating! I actually messaged them to ask if its possible they make it happen. It would be amazing if I could open same details by clicking customer's name in chat the same way I click in the cust list in chat... It's such a tiny random thing but it's so annoying

03-15-2021, 01:07 PM
Another irritation, although I like SMConnect mostly, I wish there was a sound when guys typed something and not just when they enter the room. Unless I'm missing something I can't find an option for it. It's so annoying when trying to watch two screens and two sites I sometimes miss when someone types something. At least on AW I can set different sounds for them entering, typing and leaving.

I am very very upset with Esca altogether because they get damaged soo fast, Esca One stopped working after 2 months maybe?! and Esca 2 just died 2 days ago after few months of use (less than a year), i could not switch it off on the power button cause it was not working anymore, no matter how much i try the toy is dead, no reaction on anything (power button or trying to charge it).
I dont know what to do with it cause i bought it from local shop not the original site, any advice pls?
Not buying another one, if i'll get a new toy it'll be something else but not this one! :(

I'd have more luck keeping a potato connected than the esca. It's such a grass too with its reactive light. All it's doing is shining a light on my LIES when I try and style it out everytime it cuts off.

You are in Europe, check out the laws when it comes to refunds for faulty products. In most of Europe, unless they prove it's from missuse, they need to refund if something breaks on it's own within a year. Or offer replacemnt/to fix etc.
EDIT: you need proof of purchase for this, tough.

Yes it’s a nightmare. They die quick also loosing connection with feelconnect all the time. However lush is no better lol it’s falling apart first the tail then the rest :D at least esca got cool light which they love(until it breaks in a month lol) it shows them that it actually works(unless it is loosing connection)

I finally managed to get on after nearly 20mins and 4 attempts, but the whole site seems to be running a bit slow. I either can't open customer notes or it takes a few attempts. Aside from that everything else is working fine.
My internet speeds are 536 down/35 up so I doubt it's that!

Hey fellow cammers,
Is anyone finding that their internet connection just stops working intermittently when they go live? I am plugged into my ethernet (so no wifi), and I have nothing else running. When I'm using my laptop for anything else, I don't have this problem. Only when I go live on streamate. It's driving me insane! People aren't staying in my room, paying customers are getting annoyed and, to be honest, I don't blame them!
I've checked all my settings, my internet connection and wires. Is it me or is it streamate?! Any and all advice welcome. Thanks in advance!

I am staying connected so far. I've had many people pop in and out, and come back in my room today and yesterday too. I've been clearing my browser history once an hour to see if that helps. Earlier I tried using Edge to see if that helped- it seemed to help with getting people to stay in my room, but had issues getting them to stay in shows- so I switched back.
Side note: Depending on your system I would shut down any other applications and just leave SM open.

How is your stream health?
I probably get over zealous with this but every morning I clear my browser history, check for windows updates, check for browser updates, and reboot my modem. I will reboot my modem during my shift if I have a lot of connection issues.
