Hey y’all! I was wondering how some girls are able to give offer “lifetime vids” package deals. Am I missing an option somewhere to give a customer all of my vids that I ever make? Or are they sending them off site a different way. If it’s an offsite thing then I’m not interested but I thought maybe SM offers that somewhere and I’m missing it. Thanks in advance!

I think it's worth the money to renew the provisional licence. I haven't heard of any other models using their right to remain as ID, even though it's a valid document.
Have you tried speaking directly to Cristina instead of waiting on support?
How can I speak directly to Cristina?

It is pretty easy if you want to do it. Just say your offer, when they tip make a note on their account. Then every time they come in and you have new videos they can ask and you send them. It's not actually sending every video ever to every person who has tipped for the option. I don't doubt that some girls do that but it must take ages to do.
If you make the deal just say ok now when you come back I'll send you all new content. If they never come back then so be it. I consider it to be an active participation thing, not just a video delivery every time you make it. Plus if they don't tip for a while you lose the option for sending them videos. As for making the effort to upload them separately to an email or dropbox system, its streamate, ain't nobody got time for that.
Sure if they are smart and want to go look up your socials or onlyfans that's probably a better option for them but if they are lazy enough to just tip on sm for lifetime vids they are going to have to put in some effort beyond the tip itself to get the content. Payout is too low to be running an admin operation on top of live cam.

Can anyone explain why the link used to block members isn't working?
I use this:
https://www.streamatemodels.com/flash/blockmember.php?uid=17194681
Then just swap out the member ID number. But look:
55523
55524
This has happened for the last 3 members I have blocked in the last three days. They are not showing up in the blacklist area.
Am I missing something?

I have had that happen in the past.
What happened to me was that the block appeared on a different date like in the past.
I usually have to go to the list and check "block from messages" or "Block from chat" And then click "save Changes"

Yeah sometimes they are right at he end of the list in 1970. On a related note, does anyone else feel sorry for bennyh53 because his user number has been used in the example block link for so long now he must be on so many block lists from people just experimenting with it :propeller

Yeah, I did. That's what the first screenshot is. I hit enter and it said he was blocked, but he showed up on like page 17 in the blacklist area not as being blocked today.

Yeah, I just went through all pages and pressed check all in both chat and msgs and saved. Thanks a lot for the help cause I was tired of him coming in everyday and not spending a fucking dime. That fucker worked the last nerve I had today. I need to replenish my nerves for God's sake hahahaaaaa!

If you click the heading at the top you can sort by date and can pull up all the ones that show as "1970". Those are often the ones who don't have chat blocked. When I found out it sometimes only blocks messaging I always check for the name on the list right after I block to be sure they are blocked from chat.

Sometimes I will reject a cam but I wonder what's the point of offering a reject option/button if the member can continue to try to connect multiple times? I have people do this and try 20-30 times and I continue to hit reject if it's someone who does something on camera that Im not comfortable with. What's the point of having the reject button if they can continuously try multiple times in the session. Does anyone know a way around this?

no way that i know of and that is why i just accept it, mute it and minimize it.
it would be great if we could control that feature more

Yes! And it would be also great if somehow they would make it work equally well for users. Some people can hear me well, some start to complain they don't, and I figured it is on their end. I mostly suggest them to use headphones and it helps (mostly), but damn. Why is it always so different for them?
Erika, I have a nice crew of screen lickers, can send them to you if you miss them. ;D

My conclusions about activity feed:
- You can post non explicit and explicit pics.
- Pics can be watermarked, but no trademarks.
- They approve fast, took mine 10 min.
- Price is between $1-10.
- Commission is 50%, tho earnings show as “video purchase”, not activity feed.

Can anyone help please with problems uploading vids to SM? I go to upload on the media manager and it shows uploading for a second or two then goes. I tried again and it showed uploading 2 clips at the bottom of the screen for a second then stopped. The clips are nowhere to be found, not pending, or in action needed or showing as uploaded anywhere. What am I doing wrong? I seem to remember there was a fix for this but I cannot think of it and it's driving me nuts! Please help!

You can put 'ask first before going pvt/exclusive' in your room topic? It may not stop all of them but it will definitely cut down a lot.

I too wish we don't have to keep rejecting cam over and over again when they keep trying after being rejected. It's so annoying with the ones that don't want to go exclusive for cam to cam after being told repeatedly no cam to cam in private.

Damn, this week July 19 pre-pandemic I was doing much better. In 35 hrs I made $1k+
If I kill it today and tomorrow maybe I can make $1k in 35 hrs, but it looks more like this will be a 40+ hr week. FUUUUUCK!

I'm gonna do 1 more hour then meditate and nap.
Ok so it’s not only me. It getting so slow!!
Does anyone here stream through their phone?? I can’t understand why but I get more traffic streaming through my phone instead of a laptop it’s weird. Has someone else had this happen to them or is it only me?
But I can’t do it for too long before my phone overheats -_-

The inbox was a pile of trash before they updated it to messenger mode. Now it is a pile of trash that is on fire. It also broke the mass messaging option, as they seem to only go to the customers classic inboxes, but the customers all have messenger mode as default.
On the subject, why on earth do customers have a browser app for messaging and we don't? What is the point when they are sending messages to people who have no option to receive notifications except for an email every 24 hours telling you how many sales you missed.
When I do get into my inbox each day I have always missed messages from guys who I know will spend well asking me to come online. Why not create a messenger for us, with chrome push notifications like onlyfans?
The new messenger has been out and broken for so long now. Pick one. Stick with it. Roll it out. And make it function as an ACTUAL MESSENGER. I get more notifications from stripperweb and literally every other website on the internet apart from streamate, which could actually be making money.
We all know customers come on cam sites for the people not the porn. Porn is everywhere for free. Building everyday relationships and communication is the selling point, and it is why fan sites are seeing such huge growth. I really think that a decent offline messenger service should have been the number 1 priority feature for years. There is already a tip button on messenger, so it is also totally possible to run it as a viable sexting platform.
I can guarantee from experience that 90% of the customers who seek out social media handles and move offsite, didn't make the initial move so that they can do shows on skype or other cam sites, it was to just have more connection and conversation when I am offline, and then their curiosity about my sales on other platforms drifted them away from streamate organically.

I know right?!? Makes no sense. Phones can’t take hours and hours of streaming also you can’t even type!!! I mean you can but it’s super uncomfortable and all they end up seeing is your fingers tapping on the screen lol bc you can only cam sideways

Yesterday was a dumpster fire but today I am going to push myself to stay online longer. Scared to even log in tbh lol. It can be brutal staying online when no ones doing shows. I feel like I look stupid just sitting there and in my head I feel like people are thinking "wow she's been sitting there for 45 minutes staring at a computer she must not get any shows ever what a loser" but I know that's just me getting myself down.
This may be weird but this is how I keep myself online when I feel like rage quitting: I open a 2nd browser window so I have my stream in full view on one, and pull up youtube on the other one so they're side by side. I find funny videos to watch or a podcast I like, mute my mic, and essentially watch internet videos that make me laugh and put me in a good mood. All the guys popping in and out see is me looking at the screen smiling and sometimes laughing. Ill send little "hello hru :)" messages here and there (lets be real they mostly get ignored) but once someone says anything to me I immediately pause the vid I am watching, unmute my mic and engage with them. Its better than staring at an empty chat room and keeps me entertained and no ones the wiser :p

Uhmmm I stay lot lot daytime and till start of night. Maybe 11pm uk time there is something moving little more tbh little difference. I don't stay all Overnight bc I want to keep my healthy lifestyle and don't live by night however probably usa customers are around ... frankly I had v good daytime shift. Now it's ridiculous slow. It's 15 July tho. No it's not your account lol.
So I was in an exclusive show with this guy for a while until he suddenly logged off but instead of reason: user left it says reason: user must contact support.
What does that mean??? Could it be he was using a stolen card or something? And if it did will this affect my earnings???

it's honestly reassuring to come here on particularly bad nights and see that other people are struggling too...
last night was GARBAGE. first night in a long time that i couldn't even hit $100. none of my regs were around which makes me wonder if i wasn't showing up for people who have me favorited or have notifications turned on. the traffic i was getting was very sparse and in/out. i was on for over four hours and had ONE private show, which the guy got disconnected from.
i even got a new ethernet cable and was hardwired for the first time in years, which i assumed would boost my placement a little or at least have a slightly noticeable difference. (it didn't.)
also note: i wrote in about my tip vibe STILL not working and it took over a week for support to respond, which not surprisingly was literally just a copy paste of the steps listed on the interactive toy page. hopefully my second response actually reaches a competent human. >_<

oh ok it makes sense lol
I’ve got more traffic this afternoon luckily but my phone keeps shutting down and overheating. It overheated again during a show I had to put it in the freezer for a minute or two and somehow the guy was still there and took me to exclusive again but I was worried all the time it would happen again
Does anyone know of an app I could use to stream from my Iphone that maybe uses less resources than mobile Safari?
I wonder if there will ever be a day where I don’t run into any tech issue so I don’t have a mini heart attack every time something fucks up during a private show.

what time did it start getting bad on everyone's end? i was on and off for almost five hours and it got eerily dead for me around 3am-4am eastern time. suddenly the traffic just died at the end which really sucked cuz i was only six bucks from high goal and i hatehatehate camming that late.
had a handful of guys tipping me in messenger to do shows/be unblocked yet they never entered my free chat? i think something was wrong with the site. refreshing did not work and took forever, too. very frustrating!
