my stream is super laggy but my bitrate is excellent... asked my room if it was laggy for them and they said said no. still kind of annoying.
edit: I had to reload my stream multiple times but it seems to have fixed itself

So I uploaded a bunch of videos to my profile, now they are under the pending tab in media manager...its been a week, is there something I am supposed to do to submit them for approval? I’m not seeing it and support hasn’t responded. Thanks for any help

It's been awhile since I have uploaded but I remember the process got stuck a couple of times. Refreshing the page worked for me.
^^^ Nothing you can do to speed up the process, u just need to wait for approval, it can take a while especially if u uploaded several videos, not sure how many a bunch means, 5, 10, more? I never upload more than 2, 3 and it takes a few days to have them approved.

Finally I can join the 'Received & Approved Hoes Club'
Banner is gone too!
I submitted front and back of driver license and a selfie holding driver license. Did it on computer. What's different this time was when I got 'documents were successfully submitted' it took me back to my account. The previous times 'documents were successfully submitted' message never moved so that *could* be why documents were not received.

Yes, they need to be approved. What I meant was, it kept getting hung up in the process. For example, I couldn't get to "action needed" until I refreshed. I didn't mean "In review", where you are waiting for approval. I'm sorry, sometimes I'm not good at explaining.

I went under support tab and requirements instead of clicking on the banner link.

No problem. Things can get confusing on here even with quoted text.:hug:
Hi there everyone! I was reading in another forum about the SM verification and one of the members there showed a picture with a bar up there in the main page on SM saying this exactly "Congratulations! Your payment and KYC documentation are all in order and your account is 100% compliant!". The bar looks greenish and the text is black.
I dont remember if anyone here mentioned getting this message or not, i might have overseen it but this is the closure we are supposed to get when our verification went well and all docs are accepted. How many of u actually got it?
Cause another member of that forum said she was thinking all went ok with her verification and when she contacted Liz to find out what is the status of her documents there was nothing showing as she ever uploaded any docs at all!
I am afraid to ask here, i dont know what to do, it was hard enough to do the verification with my passport to even think i have to do it again who knows how many times until they consider it ok. Thoughts? Ty!

? isn't that the nature of all private sites? looky lous popping in and out of rooms until they buy
Yes for sure, it's just a theory. Users typically don't stay on a site when every stream they click is glitching out or black screen.
I got an email from support saying they approved me but when I tried to add to the activity feed the other day they said I'm unverified. I've been adding to the activity feed after submitting documents with no problems, only the last 1 I added was rejected. So I guess my account is still in limbo.

For me every day until the 16th I had the yellow message so I resubmitted each time. After the 16th it stopped appearing. I got a response to my message from Liz saying my pics "look good", which I don't take as official verification, but sounds like she doesn't see any glaring issues that would prevent them from being verified. That's my interpretation. Maybe it is a verification, which would be nice. I haven't gotten any kind of official verification on my home screen or an email from support or anything like that.

What other forum are you on? The reason why I ask is that my account is a mess right now. Since my passport isn’t being “recognized” I haven’t been able to stream for almost a week now and to make matters worse is that they put a hold on my paycheck!! I’m getting zero help from Liz and support. I ask a question and it takes three days to get a response, it’s a complete nightmare.
I can’t

Driver licenses. But I used splitcam to load it as its way better quality, their program make shitty pictures
What kind of software did you use? I'm thinking of using OBS virtual cam, but it only puts out 1080p, and I'm not sure if it's enough.

I submitted the verification docs with just a selfie, not a selfie with ID, because that's what it said a week ago, actually I did it twice, because the next day I saw the banner up and thought I had to do it again (didnt see the last paragraph where it said that if I already uploaded I should just disregard it), and since a few days the banner is gone and when I go to the Support/Requirements , it just takes me back to my profile. Is that a good sign? I should maybe email Liz but I only wanna do it if it's really needed, don't wanna bother her.
Thing is, a few weeks ago I had submitted the documents because I changed location so I already had pics of my ID AND a selfie + ID sent. So maybe that counted and I am approved? I got no email whatsoever these last few days...

Just a splitcam that’s it . That’s how ithe program called. Downloaded it -> load photos into splitcam(choose a media source (media file)-> chose splitcam(instead of normal webcam) as a source on verification process and voila ;) (on a splitcam u can move photos around /stretch them ect to fit the green lines)

Thank you very much! Did you use the standard 1920x1080 or went up to 2048x1536? Wondering if the aspect ratio matters. Also, did you take the selfie live or uploaded it as well?

mine verification finally went through
a few helpful hints.
if you arent having luck
try outside during daylight natural lighting and if you are on your computer try switching to a camera phone that has a good camera.
hope this will help someone.
and i was approved with passport.

Possibly stupid question, but are we allowed to have member accounts? I need more tags on my profile so I'm thinking of making a member account to add them, but obviously I need to add my card (which is the same name that's attached my my model account) and idk if I'll get in trouble for adding tags to my own profile?

I don't know if anyone else follows athenastats on twit but they have put out some analysis on streamate lately here: https://twitter.com/athenastats/status/1439033853373554691?s=20
I was just wondering if anyone can work out what is being counted in the top and bottom times for total rooms. AFAIK there isn't any time when there are 23,000 rooms online but am I missing some other obvious metric that this is referring to?
eta: Ok I think it is the total of each number of rooms in the categories section so like anal + feet + brunette and so on, so even though there are only 2k-3k models online, they appear 20,000 ish times if each category is counted rather than each room.
Marina Starr
09-21-2021, 04:09 AM
Yes and no. All they will do is close your member account if they found out but as far as I know you won't get in trouble. I have member account for years and so far no problems. Members can only tag 5 times.
I even tagged myself:
Quick to ban
Attitudes
Bitchy
Batshit crazy
Arrogant

^i believe that is just the final step notification from Ondato or whatever third party facial recognition software SM is using for the verification process. (edit: i guess AU10TIX). approval should be instant, if there were any issues with your photos the software would just keep making you re-take the photos before you could complete the process.
unfortunately there is currently no official approval status anywhere on Streamate's end that you can check easily, i had to confirm with Liz. i would have no idea of my standing otherwise.

Same! That has to rectify ASAP. It's very anxiety inducing when you're left hanging and uninformed.

Another rant regarding the verification: the selfie has to be taken witout glasses. My SO aka co-performer is as blind as a bat. Without his glasses, he can hardly point the camera in the right direction leave alone getting a clear and centered picture. I have to drag and poke him around everytime, like, literally use my hands to position him right. Trying to keep myself out of view at the same time makes it double as annoying.
P.S. in his ID photo, he IS wearing glasses (here, it's a requirement for anyone wearing perscription glasses constantly), so basically it makes no sense.

Potentials have been weird for me for a couple weeks so something is up.
perhaps I am wrong but I think I have always seen potentials when in private, but not in exclusive. Maybe that was just room count but I feel it was potentials too.
I had the same thing, got paranoid, message support and they assured me potentials can't see privates.

Ugh I’ve been in a slump for quite a while now. Usually a slow week or two are bound to happen but it feels like this slow period had been forever at this point! I’ve had some decent/fine days but I haven’t had really anything notable in so long and I know I need them to keep me trudging through these periods. Ugh it’s times like this when I start second guessing everything; my prices, my hustle, my looks…but I know the best thing is to just STFO and not let it get to me

Same, its so easy to blame ourselves. It personally really affects my anxiety and depression and makes it worse, but we just gotta keep pushing.
I mentioned in this thread recently how I miss when camming used to actually be fun and what I meant by that is when its busy and there's constant interaction and money being made its empowering and makes us feel sexy, but there something really depressing about having to practically beg in and outs to engage with us, let alone tip. I can literally tell my chat room enthusiastically that i want to fuck my pussy sooo bad and have fun and be super bubbly about it and my room full of guys just stare at me silently before leaving again. Its like really?? Lol

Yes seriously!! Thanks for responding, it means a lot to not feel alone when I get down on myself. I’ve been able to keep my head up and not let it affect my attitude on cam too much bc I know it’s not a very good look for me . but ending the shift with so little after all the emotional effort of acting happy and enthusiastic is just so disappointing. Ugh. Something’s gotta give eventually and I know it always does balance out. I’m just soooooo ready for it lol

I've had a really mad and difficult summer, and now that I'm properly back on cam it's so dead that I thought it was the algorithm punishing me for being away or that they had finally changed my location to my ID instead of country of residence (Spain instead of UK), but by these recent posts it seems like I'm not alone. Eesh, what's going on?!
Also, is there any way to convince them to put me back with the UK models? I've only ever streamed in English, from the UK (5 years and settled here), and I have Spain geoblocked, so the new system really makes no sense to, especially in my case. Oh well x

Well, I had emailed support last week and they finally replied to me today to tell me that my verification was rejected. So I've just done it again. Still no option to do selfie while holding ID, just ID, ID (which with a passport are the same) then a selfie. I look nothing like my passport, it expires next year.
