Ladies who accept c2c - what do you do when you barely can hear them talking? Do you tell them to type instead or something else? I started to hate c2c recently because of this, it's very distracting and uncomfortable.:(

Oh good! I'm glad it's working manually. I'm sure the tip activation will get sorted out. I think I'm going to give the ferri a try. The only toys I have tried were the first lush and lush 2. I always felt like the issues were from the antennas. I really like the idea of a clit vibe. It's good to know that your domi wands have held up well.
Thank you so much and good luck to you.
Update: Just ordered :)
awesome! and update - reinstalling the app on the phone worked! (thanks angela!) got my ferri working again and the guys were super generous - made $95 in my first half hour from tip vibes and a gold show. woo!

i haven't had this happen very often (most guys who do c2c with me don't use their mics) but when it's happened in the past, i would just be honest and tell them their audio is bad. i might say something like "we can continue with you typing if you'd like, or i can just do my thing while watching you." though that last one doesn't really work if they want a super personalized or verbal/conversational show. but i try not to say "this isn't going to work" right away and instead try to push for other options first.
also are you certain it's on their end? like does it only happen for some guys or all the time? i ask because when i got my new laptop a few years back i thought something was up with c2c, but then i realized my internal speakers just sucked and the volume didn't go that high. using external speakers that i can move close to me during c2c has been super helpful.

Thank you so much! It happens sometimes, not the whole time. When their sound is clear, I don't have any problems. But sometimes it 's not. And vice versa - some of them can hear me well, some cannot.
Thank you for the advice about external speakers! Genius! I was thinking about getting some headphones for this certain case, but the idea doesn't really excite me lol

i agree about headphones - plus i really hate the thought of a guy moaning and talking *right* into my ear; it's why i'll never be able to do phone sex, haha.
but yeah, my speaker has definitely come in handy especially for guys who are really soft-spoken on cam. i use an old but high quality little speakerbox with a long aux cable, but wireless/bluetooth speakers would also be great i'm sure.

this is why I do not offer phone anymore. I used to and had some very uncomfortable things said to me and having that in my ear is bad vibes and can ruin a shift. plus trying to hold a phone and masturbate looks stupid. I believe theres a vid of me out there someone posted without my consent of me doing a show and having to talk to a guy on the phone and its cringe! ruins the vibe and the performance
I don't do sound. I make them type. It's perfect when they're at work or wife is right next to them (or so they claimed, lmfao).
I used to tell guys that I "couldnt hear them" after muting them to avoid being uncomfy but so many guys would leave after realizing thy cant moan and talk dirty to me. *ick* now I just put up with it and most of the time they don't talk but when they do i just tough it out lol. but if anyone makes me feel uncomfortable ill just end the show. I know better now that the money isn't worth doing things I'm not okay or comfortable with.

I managed 21 hours, which would be fine if my hourly wasn't down like 15% and I wasn't planning on working extra this week. I am real bad at that. A lot of people are paying their taxes right now, sports, more freedom, nicer weather. It was rough traffic though. It felt like the kinda week that if you really STFO it would probably pay off big time, this week might be the same. But who knows cause I was just in the crabbiest mood and was not gonna do that. Gonna go eat some chocolate covered strawberries and try it again later. New week and all.
I replace my tip toys like every 3-4 months, and try to have a back up.

Good points Kamiliam! I didn't think of all that. I closed out this week averaging at $57/hr. So I'm freaking grateful. I need to take my own advice and remember that even if I make $25/hr I'm making more than any job I've ever had or could get!

I have to restart my app, reconnect the tip top several times during any streaming stint. Been like this since more or less the start, had the toy 3 months but it was doing this more or less from new.

my ferri worked last night after i deleted/reinstalled the lovense app but i couldn't get it to work tonight, despite doing the reinstall again and trying the qr code multiple times :(
it's getting really frustrating how unreliable the interactive tip feature is on SM. and i don't want to just fake it; i want to be able to genuinely use the toy i spent money on that is supposed to be compatible with the platform. i always wonder what bullshit new features they're working on behind the scenes that no one asked for, instead of actually acknowledging and putting energy into fixing glitches like this.
i haven't made an attempt to contact support about it just because i assume they'll give me a stupid copy paste answer or direct me to the interactive toy help page, which i have read many times and doesn't help. but i'm getting really annoyed at how infrequently it works at this point, so maybe i'll send them an email tomorrow and see what they suggest.

Oh no! And we thought it was fixed last night. I know how frustrating it is when a toy works one day and then stops.

I think the other ladies who said it comes up as an option either are British or live in UK so have UK ID. For me, I live in Eastern med but have British passport. A friend of mine is from European country but lives in England and has uk driving licence. Do you fall into either of those examples? If not that's probably why you dont have it as an option.

As far as the lush goes, for ladies who are wondering about having to reconnect their tip vibe toy: I've been working with mine for the last few days and I've noticed that it disconnects randomly. I will randomly feel it buzz telling me that it reconnects. Because of where the power button is, I'm wondering if the weight of me grinding on it or sitting on it occasionally turns it off. Is this something that could be possible? Because when I have it outside of my body and I am just playing with it on my clit never disconnects

I agree! It's completely pointless. And I know for a fact it's streamate's set up in connection. I gave my link for control to my man who's across the country. I wore it for about 2 hours. I had no problem feeling that connection lol! So I know damn well that my toy actually works but when I go to use it for a tip vibe it's very unreliable like you said. Another model on here said that she wished that stream would enable a feature where somebody could purchase a blocktime increment of 5 minutes or something like that. I absolutely love that idea because I've noticed that I cannot help but feel rushed. Every single client I get involved with even after 40 seconds they are getting hyperactive and I can't enjoy myself and give a good show. But if I knew I had at least 5 minutes, I'd be a lot more natural

^^I never have any connection issues with my LUSH on my token sites, MFC, Chaturbate. And I never had issues when I cammed on Bonga and Camsoda.
Only Streamate. It has never worked for me & how they try to run it is simply amateur when compared to what and how it's supposed to work with camming.
Just look at the token sites and the Lovense Browser.
All the token sites have ONE thing in common is Lovense Browser. It's made for camming with the toy for fuck sake.
I don't know why Streamate won't get with the program and join up with that. It's all so easily built right into the browser. Once again I believe it's a lack of trust on SM end.

Girls, I had weirdest excl ever. So someone jumped into excl and asked if I am ok with girls I said yeah ok but what I didn’t expect that she was going to put her camera on (with the sound) and she was going to be hot sweet girl in sexy lingerie. She was all sweet and kind told me bunch of compliments And didn’t rush anywhere . I asked her what she would like to see she answered that “ I shall do whatever makes me me happy she just wants to try something new and I am adorable “
lol so we did a show .. I played she played I “came” she came then more compliments omg I felt weird and I couldn’t wait for that to finish because f I felt soooooo bad taking her money!! Honestly no joke I just felt terrible!! U know me I have no problems in taking all the money from dudes lol
I definitely can’t handle girls cam2cam
I sent her all my vids for free and didn’t ask her to tip anything extra on a tip vib or whatever which I normally do

I honestly don't enjoy being on the main page anymore. When I use to be on the third or fourth, I'd have really super respectful men come in that spent well and tipped. Ever since I've been on the first page these last weeks, it's nothing but cheap ass rude and entitled men. I use to get compliments and nice enjoyable shows. Now everyone rushes, they don't say much and I haven't seen any of my regulars in over a week. My average on the fourth page was like $80/hr now I'm grinding teeth trying to get $50. I hardly have any traffic either. Anyone else ever experience this when they jump up positions or is it just a bad two weeks?

I only come on this thread to complain.
but GOD DAMN, my time online compared to money made has never been lower.
I actually for the first time in 8 years of doing this has 2 shifts on streamate that were over an hour without 1 show. only small tips.
Tonight I was online for 2 hours, made $80.
I know that's not the worst but I am dealing with a housing crisis and a health crisis and I need money fast. This is not the way I want to spend the time I am not feeling like I have to throw up, poop, or sleep.
Praying this gets better soon. Damn. I just came back too.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I watched a model on the front page have an emotional relapse because of rude beggars. A cam model friend of mine said she's never kicked so many people out in her shifts before. And clearly, I'm experiencing the same grief (my post above yours) and many models here have voiced similar frustrations. I'm so sorry your health isn't well. I'm hoping it gets better soon.

Depends how often and how long for. Couple times in hour for like 3-5 mins not a big deal , generally it’s not good to stop and start streaming frequently so pause button is a good option.

I didn’t realise we could do this. Is this new? I might try it out. I can’t fault all British customers cause some of my most favourite regulars are British guys, but the majority of the British guys annoy me.
Their relentless obsession with whether or not I’m actually British, whether I have a British accent, where exactly I live in the U.K. and wanting meets, is irritating as hell. I had one try arguing with me that I wasn’t actually British and putting on a British accent once.
