Do you use VPN? I noticed that when I use VPN, the lush2 doesnt appear in the SMConnect. Right after I turn off VPN plugin and start streaming, it works fine.
Is because you need to have the same IP on the app and the site, hence why. Esca works no matter the IP.

This is random: Are we allowed to show members faces in free chat? This guy keeps asking me to show his face.
I would not show anyone who is not id verified by the site, including screenshots and pictures. You have no idea if it is even them sometimes...

True. I believe we're okay with watching porn together in private since they did approve one of my videos with porn playing, but we can't play music.

I keep being disconnected like my camera seems to shut off? Is this a camera issue or a streamate issue? For the record it is a several year old Logitech C920 webcam that I haven't used in years.
This is what happens to my cameras every time they get too old.

My Blue Yeti mic keeps making a popping sound. I had to switch to my webcam mic. The Yeti works fine in Logicapture so I'm not sure what's going on.
Edit: Whatever it was, it's resolved now.

I know this must have been asked a million times but the search terms including SM, video, performer, are yielding not one result. Bizarre.
I have a shit ton of BG content to upload to my videos but how do you add the randoms as a performer.
TIA

On your account page there should be a "add performer" button. If there isn't one, email support and they will enable it for you. Then for each person in the clips you need them to submit ID and pic of them holding said ID.

Thanks so much.
I can only add me as a performer so was wondering what I had to do to get another performer on there as there is nothing I can see at the front end where their details can be entered. Do you just have to manually email them the usual photo selection?
Have contacted support; thanks again x

Hello, girls, how are you doing? Excuse the question, I would like to know how to remove a 1 star rating.
The show lasted 2 minutes and the user was rude to me, put 1 star on me and left.
He asked me to get naked and to suck him off, put cam2cam and started to scream and insult me because "i was losing his time"
It is the first time this happens to me...so unfair. My account is from a studio, by the way. How can i get that remove?
Sorry for the trouble.

Hey there ladies. I have a question about geo blocking. I tried searching and couldn't quite find an answer I needed. If I've missed it I'm sorry.
Anyway, I use to get roughly 5-15 people in my room at a time. I only recall two accounts of someone being from my state in 10 years. But about a year ago the husband of a family friend sent me a photo of my profile photo and said "You dirty girl. When will you be live?"
I can't even begin to explain the sickness I felt. I wasn't embarrassed. I was sickened. Then I found out from my brothers my freaking dad likes to watch cam girls. I immediately turned geo blocking on. I'd be up on the first page a lot, sometimes second. But the moment I turned it on, it's impossible to get more than 3 or 4 people in and i usually only bank about $60 for an hour and it becomes a graveyard. I had a friend from another state check my placement and I was like on the 17th page. On the BBW page I was like on the 8th.
I've tried five times staying on for 4-5 hours and it doesn't matter. I use to make like $120 in 3 hours almost daily. Now I have to do split shifts because I only make money the first hour. Any advice on why this is? Is geo blocking messing up my placement? I figured with an hour almost of non stop privates I'd be further up by now

Regular 'customers' who really love to take up your time chatting incessantly... but ONLY tip if you ask them at least once (if not repeatedly) never ever tip on their own accord. Unless I try to ignore them for ages whilst they go on and on, anyway.
I seem to have accumulated a small handful of these types right now. Does anyone else find them a bit draining to deal with? I have no issue asking for tips, it's more so that they seem to only tip because they're "forced" to. Just wondering how some of you ladies deal with them?
My instinct says to block as I hate seeing them pop up. Half of me thinks it's manners for them to tip without being asked but the other half of me wonders if I'm being a little entitled?

I had a guy who I had to block last week. He was a decent spender early last year but then left the site for 6 months and recently popped back up. Like you said, only tipped when prompted and then felt it was ok to hang round in my room repeatedly talking about how he might be able to meet me in real life. After telling him off - which I did in front of other customers, I politely explained the point of the site and told him to think of it as an online stripclub - if you're not paying for a dance or buying the lady a drink you aren't going to get attention. He apologised, tipped, left and came back the following day with the same BS so I just blocked him without saying goodbye. I figure anybody could be logged out and watching me so I don't want potentials seeing me be irritated and bickering with idiots.

There's a few who i allow to hang in my chatroom. It makes my room appear more busy on a slower day and i almost always attract tips and shows because instead of looking bored, I'm lively and giggly. Also the few i allow to sit in my room never beg for anything and also act as a mediator when I'm in distress or there's an uptick in trolling. But i do draw the line if it becomes soul sucking.

Just ban the ones who are draining you the most and leave or kick the rest. You aren't being entitled. For a lot of these users it is not common knowledge to tip for requests or even to go private at all.
You could do a 3 strikes rule and then if they abuse it by asking for all these free things without tipping 3 times after you told them they need to pay to play then ban them?
Selling is a big part of this line of work and we never really know who is going to pay big and who isnt. But we all only have so much daily energy and if these people are taking too much of that without adding anything else they need to go. Personally I'm not going to sales pitch to 1 user 100 times, some models would argue that is a weakness and maybe it is. Set your own boundaries how you see fit.

I'm kind of happy to see I'm not the only one who deals with this! I have a regular who likes to chat about his fantasies with me as if they are actually happening in his real life (eye roll) and of course i go along with it but it takes forever for him to take me into a show. he usually always does but its a chore. a couple weeks ago he did his usual of chatting me up but i was super busy back to back shows (unlike today unfortunately)
long story short he could barely get 2 sentences out before i would get taken into another show. he kept trying for like an hour before i logged off for the day and said screw it cause i had just been nonstop and needed a breather.
its like....read the room! i'm busy! if you wanna chit chat that bad take me exclusive and you will have me all to yourself. imagine that! lol

I wonder how do they pick the prompt though? I was only told me about one, and it is the cheapest thing on my menu. Like do they rotate? Start from lowest then go higher? Could be cool. I have some high and low prices in mine, so I can see the advantages and disadvantages of it.

I think it's just at random, one of mine is 'type' which doesn't really work as a generalised prompt. It's just there for the MANY men who come in wanting me to type to them cause they are too basic to watch a webcam with some headphones. It came up as a tip request for 3 guys today who I was having regular voice chats with.

You can set boundaries with them as you see fit. You can say today I don’t feel like talking so of you want me to chat with you then we can go exc. They usually become less the more established you get.

Funny the things SM does without letting us know OR giving us the option to disable it?? So they just add to our chat whatever they want?
First, as a member I would find this annoying and I would assume as a member that the MODEL was doing it.
I don't like asking for tips. That's just me. They tip if they want and/or take us private if they want.
I can see myself explaining this away to members now...or simply NOT having a gold tip menu set up and just having my OWN tip menu as an auto message I CONTROL.
At least give us the option for things like this. I care about my guys & I should be the one to determine what they see in MY chat.

Yesˇ that is what I was thinking today. There are to many dudes that abuse of the 1 mnt shows. Yesterday had like 5 in a row. Most of them saying yes I want a show with u and they are jerking already Idk and Im not even nude. This is a problem that Ive been having these last days in force with the new ones. And related with the gold reminder pop out, well, a good regular sent me a screenshot of what it is and yes, is suddenly showing in my room...

Are there any Streamate representatives reading still? Can we get some sort of explanation on the tip prompts?
To me it's a bit embarrassing not knowing what those prompts are saying, especially if I'm trying to talk a submissive into going exclusive and it's asking him to tip for ass or something unrelated (or some guy with a regular size cock he is proud of and it asks him to tip me for a small penis humiliation show, kinda funny but not so much if it loses me that particular customer).

So another contest week...WELL SHIT! I hate them for me personally. Shit/dumb/slow or no traffic and wierd glitchy shit on the SM site all the time. The usual suspects...this week just reminded me how important it is to have a second good egg for $$ backup. I've made more on my second/splitcamming site this week than SM. I'm not really surprised but then again I am. It kind of scared me too. All it would take is for my #1 to go offline and then I would be really stuck. So now contest weeks on SM have made me rethink my strategedy. I know I won't score big on SM during a contest so I make my #2 egg my #1 egg with my attention and I don't work that hard on SM. IT HAS WORKED FOR 3 DAYS NOW! I'm growing my base on #2 which I need and getting what I can on SM. I'll switch back to normal after the contest but now I see these contest days in a different light. Good luck to all the models this week!
great..it was painfully slow ..then i came here remember is contest and i am not alone..last 4 hours made 45 dollars..
