No, only chrome :(((
Damn, chrome is so...uncomfortable for me hahahaha
today my chat was lagging abit. Like, it took time to type and send msgs, like if I played modern game on old computer. I checked cpu out and it showed firefox took 25% of it. Never happened before. I wonder if it's my laptop or Streamate makes the chat heavier?

is Streamate 100%. since the live broadcaster came in effect is really very juicy. you need an i7 10th minimum or equivalent to run sm.

SM runs ok for me on an i5, I don't have anything else running at the same time though.

My i5 didnt had the integrated graphics in the provmcessor and a dedicated graphics card but i could see it wasn't up to the task any longer, randomly only in full hd the site or whatever will make my cpu go to 100%. I replced with an i9 and is all very smooth. I earn better but i think it may just be the new model status as i left boleyn and i am independent again. Will see after the new model status expires how i am witj earnings and traffic :)

I have i7 and windows 10, and never had any problems like this one. Maybe it's my fucking browser though, because when I closed it and reopened it started to work well. Maybe I should use chrome for streamate, since it's recommended by them.

Has anyone heard back from support yet this week about the issues of the black chat screen being stuck, the being kicked out due to streaming errors, members being kicked out, laggy typing on our end and members end? I wrote last week but still haven’t heard back. I’d just like to know if they’re working on something and if it’s a known issue that they’re working on fixing or what. Yesterday I was kicked off 13 times and that’s with refreshing the browser each time in hopes it’s less laggy if I clear my history periodically. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

Does anybody use OBS as a virtual cam (select OBS as camera on the SMConnect encoder, so don't use the encoder features of OBS)? Does it cause issues? I am experimenting with it because I like the beauty filters and I think SMConnect is shitty and has no features, but I wonder if it can cause issues.

I do with no issues
I do not use filters bc I just started using it again, i hadn't used since 2017 and not tech savvy
My problem is the camera washes me out so I just click white balance off on the logitech capture and it gives me color back

To join in with everyone else who's having a rough time on SM.
December is always my best month on this site.
Not this week, though.
Last week was my highest earning week in months.
This week.....crickets.
My placement is whacked, which for me equals no customers.
A reg took me for his usual 15 plus minute exclusive block yesterday. He got booted after only 1 minute.
Came back and asked what happened?
Hell if I know.
He tried again, and thankfully was able to stay.
He got me to my daily goal. And continued to tip afterwards in my chat.
I did see many repeat customers enter my chat. However, none of them stayed or said hi. NONE of them!
Yes, something is not right.
*I first thought that I was being 'cockblocked ' for getting that warning 2 weeks ago when I left my stream for a few minutes.
But, after reading others posts, I see that it's probably not that.
So discouraging to say the least.
Makes for a sad start to what's supposed to be the joyous time of the year.
Streamate is turning into scrooge this year.
Bah, humbug. :-\

I use SnapCam with OBS virtual cam to take advantage of beauty filters, and I really love it. I did have a couple days when I first started using it where it was laggy, but that's not happened since and I've been using this method since October. It really helps my self-confidence (I have acne, so a little bit of skin smoothing really helps my makeup look flawless) and overall improves my lighting/color-tone, so I would highly recommend giving it a go for a few shifts and seeing if it makes a difference for you. I've also never had anyone ask if I was using a filter/comment on it, so you can definitely find subtle ones!

I do and it works really well :) I use a DSLR camera and just using the DSLR as a cam always gave me smaller resolution size but with OBS virtual cam it is perfect!
(Just saw the post above mine) If you would like to share how you get the beauty filters on there I would love to hear it! <3 I'm almost 46 and dimples, wrinkles and lines are getting harder and harder to hide with angles and lighting. Pretty please? Thank you!

I had the same issue this morning too. It was AWFUL. There is a huge difference between it just being dead in there and something being really effed up. This morning made very little sense....

Has anyone else gotten the guy that wants you to turn all the lights out and face your camera towards the window with the blinds wide-open? Do not do this because if anyone walks by or drives by or anything you’ll be banned for having someone else on the camera. I just kept redirecting. I’m not sure if his intent is to get us band or he just wants a voyeurism type deal don’t really care.

He could be trying to figure out your location - I would report him...

LoL Honestly Erika i’m in the same boat there’s pretty much no way he could figure out where I lived at all I’m in a very wooded area where deer just walk down the street like it’s nothing lol I just wanted to put this out here in case someone didn’t realize. BTW you absolutely crack me up love all your posts.

so and so has been blocked
AND

i saw some posts about laptop technology a few pages back and was just wondering, is there a page on SM somewhere that indicates the minimum and/or preferred computer requirements for streaming?
my laptop is a 5+ year old ASUS gaming laptop (intel i7 2.6GHz, 16GB DDR4 RAM, GTX960M graphics) and has seemingly held up fine on SM for that whole time period, but it's starting to get laggy and has other issues like a glitchy trackpad and the battery not working at all. i know there's the chip shortage and everything right now but i want to start hunting around for some new tech, maybe keep an eye out for a christmas sale. i'm curious to see if upgrading my tech will improve my SM experience.

Having that issue today too - my room is usually decently active and i swear i'm going to fall asleep trying to STFO....
I've been restarting my broadcast every 30 minutes to test something and when i first restart I get an influx, then a show. After the show I come back and its very little traffic and what i get is ducking in and out of free.... Starting to wonder if the showing private even though in free chat may be sticking? Like where it isn't connecting us to free chat on the customers end but is doing it on ours? *shrug*
*just did it for the 4th time and now 2 guys in 20 minutes. WTF is going on?*

Do any of you also get guys that come in and say Hey!!!
you say Hello back to them
and then they are gone?
I'm just curious if all of you are having issues with guys communicating at all on Streamate?
My conversations go something like this
Me: Hi hru?
Him: Hey!!!
me: what brings you on here today? or how is your day going?
Him: user has logged off......
anybody else?

I sat for over 30 minutes yesterday before I got an exclusive.
He was a reg who started out with, "Your rates have gone up."
Yeah,...and??
He then proceeded to ask me to stop the session and go to Skype.
I'm usually very patient.
But this guy made me lose it.
I started yelling at him, and telling him that just MENTIONING Skype could get me fired from the site!
That I'm going to kick him out, and raise my rate to $19.99 per minute, ONLY for him! Asshole!!:toldoff:
*I do want to add that, like others have said. I thought I was online, but when I checked it said that I was offline.
No wonder I sat in an empty chat room.
I kept changing browsers, logging off, then back on, etc.
After an hour of this nonsense, I just logged off and called it a night.
Only to have a new guy I'm getting to know in my personal life, ask me to send him photos since I'm not going to see him until Friday. My 1000's of photos on my Instagram page aren't enough?
Fuck outta here!!
SOOO over dudes and their entitled ways.

Yes I think it's a site glitch right now . Hopefully they resolve it soon !
New to this thread and webpage, but not new to camming. Just wanted to say the struggle is real for me too on streamate. I have good placement…page 1 or 2 and still go long periods of time without a sole in my room. And I also get so many pop in and out. Some say hi and just leave…and others just come in…sit and say nothing till I kick them out.
I get so frustrated that most times I just have to log off…which is what I did again today.
I really don’t know what to do to maintain my sanity when it is always so slow. I get so bored as well and it just puts me in a bad mood.
So my escape just hustling and just keep trying. Yes get moody. Anyway it's a general thing so I would take it personally :P ... however today I saw so many O gold for gold show ! I maybe don't understand this but even is so slooooow I see that as under sell yourself. Am I wrong? You will get tips from generous guysss but ohhhh. Marketing? ... offers but soooo free!!! Some performer even below waist nudity w penetration... to try to bring ppl in the show. I didn't report that it's their choice :P better be over expensive lol IMO
