I went there 3 times to sign up ;D Left nervous without signing up every time because these damnn free show hardcore rooms made me feel bad. I saw a girl who was tipped 33tokens to perform double dildo penetration and she was so obviously uncomfortable with it, while the asshat kept on saying "come on bb double dildo". 33 token is how much? 1,65$? I wont even spit on them for 1.65$
But I really liked chinese girls there. They are always dressed in their rooms, the maximum they do is topless when their goal show is reached. I think it depends on girl's attitude a lot, like on SM. If you lower prices on SM, you 'll get broke losers and trolls which will humiliate you. Girl sets the mood and girl sets the rules. You never know till you try.
I think it is possible to be comfortable on SC. I quit the idea only because they don't have 'virtual age' option. :/
Aww, $1.65 for that? I don't judge what anyone does but if she was uncomfortable with it, that's really sad.
After some research, I think I'll stick with SM too. I have some lovely regs on there who I really enjoy.

Stripchat is a great complimentary site to SM. Don't be concerned with the high traffic hardcore rooms if you are splitting. Save the goods for private and exclusive private.
You can use the tip menu just the same as a gold menu and you can have multiple wheels to spin. Have a lower priced one to contain things like your gold menu and a higher priced one for anything else like nude dance or "soft core, but risky on streamate". Then you can pause your sm stream or start a gold show for a few mins with no countdown.
You can mute everyone with no tokens if you want but I leave them chatting and they are 98% polite. It keeps me having people to talk to which makes my sm room look busy.
Set your spy price to what you want and every time you get a private on sm, start a spy show.
You can do the same with gold shows on SM, or run a gold show on SC by starting a ticket show.
On SC there isn't a goal but just consider them extra viewers to your gold show. It can be tricky to learn the timings of when to start a ticket countdown to get the most tokens but you can always just do spy mode too.
I like that you can use settings to define exactly what you offer in private vs exclusive private. The client side has buttons to correspond to your selections so they press it and a message comes up like "user123 politely requests a dildo" I think it's a charming feature that genuinely makes for a better show even if they are furiously wanking on the other side of the connection.
Umm what else is good...
They use the lovense browser which works at the same time as the app lovense connect. No issues there. And the patterns are way more personalised and you can get great money from just buzzing away all day. Keep it a bit low key though and mute the SC tab. Unless you match your SC cut to your SM cut, you dont really want your SM customers drifting to SC. At 50% though it isn't the end of the world if they do.
There are whales on there. I have had 2 in the few months I've been on. Crazy money.
You can see how old accounts are, how much roughly they have spent and also how many tokens they have.
You can link your Twitter which in turn will have your OF and cammodel links.
The new tag is great for wide wide reach.
There isn't a wait for payouts, what I earn in a week up to Sunday is in my account by Tuesday lunchtime.
They have to pay to send dick pics. They do send and they do pay.
There is a facility for paid offline sexting and also something where they can pay upfront and book you for a private. I've not used these before but the sexting one sounds like it could be good if you are travelling or loads of other reasons you can't get on cam.
It's good for when you want to get on cam and hang out before streamate too. Get on and do your makeup or hang out with your cat in the room, stream in public with much less restriction, etc. There are a lot of opportunities to cam on SC that just wouldnt fly on sm or would at least risk your account.
They allow split screen gaming for certain games if that's your thing. I think it's just their licensed sex games though lol
They pay out in crypto and minimum is $50 which is great if you just want to tick along on there and take a chance on btc/eth as a diversified savings account. Not for everyone but great if you want to just pretend it doesnt exist and let it add up alongside streaming normally on SM. I consider it as invisible savings and can honestly say it hasn't negatively impacted my sm earnings at all. In fact they went up as I had more people to interact with and kept resting bitch face at bay.

My age is 100% lie. The only thing it affects is your category. The category doesn't display prominently on your profile and no one really reads the basics let alone the full profile. If anyone asks (they never have) why I'm in the milf category I guess I'd say that it's a glitch or that milf isnt an age lol

Just mute the tab within your browser. Unmute if you get a c2c request, it's the only time you need audio from SC.
ohhh i think that it is normal that i look better on pc than mobile? ((((((maybe it is normal we do not like how we look sometimes? some days better not to check ourself?)))) anyway i look more red on mobile i guess is the pixel resolution... lol i got an android Samsung. compression image and so pixel matter? :P .... do you find a visual difference between pc and mobile..many clients are more on mobile hopefully using iphone should be better the image? not sure if i should post on cam tech thread instead! sorry if so...

Crypto is not the only option. They have a ton of ways to get paid including check or direct deposit right to your bank. From Stripchat FAQ " You can receive payments via Paxum, COSMOpayment, ACH/Direct Transfers, Checks, ePayService, Bitcoin/Cryptocurrencies, International Wire Transfers and EUR Wire Transfers (SEPA)."
You can also get paid through Boleynmodels which is what I have mine set to.
I work Stripchat like a private based site and run it alongside Streamate, then set it to spycam when I get a private on SM or stop my SM feed if I get a private on Stripchat. I only do non-nude things for tips - they have to go private to see anything else. I really need to log on to Stripchat more.

I just had a streamate accident. Thought I'd hit stop while I was in a show somewhere else then heard a guy enter my room while I had my legs spread. Absolutely mortified I killed the feed, I've reported it as this was suggested somewhere further back but is there anything else I should do or am i going to be ok to carry on streaming this evening?

Has anyone had issues with creating a regular customer account recently as a model? I've been streaming with sm for a long time and today I found someone on there that I'dd actually would loveee to do a show with as a customer but I'm worried that I might get flagged or something since I also a model for the site and have heard weird things about models creating customer accounts. Would love to do a show with her but I don't want any issues with my streaming account.
-kind of wish sm was like camsoda where you can use the same account to tip other models and do shows and stream on at the same time
Don’t use the same email as your account, don’t reference that you are a model or mention any BTS info and you should be fine.

happens to me, reported and a lot of overthinking. sleepless. i do not think that y should worrying further... work as normal you can not control if they want to stop your streaming... just keep going w working as normal. it was a mistake and just you did what you should report yourself. do not overthinking. you did your duty there

thanks so putting in my credit card or PayPal won’t like flag the account or anything? Since I’d have to use my real name for that.
Hasn’t been a problem in my experience. Think about all the guys who successfully make new accounts again and again.

Hello Ladies,
I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but are any of you using a VPN, and if so, does it slow down your streaming and is it compatible with SM? I'm a newb when it comes to this tech/streaming stuff but I was kinda creeped out when a few customers "guessed" my location. I've looked at a few YT videos to research this topic but wanted to check with you all. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

I've tried to use nordvpn in the past and it was so slow that streaming was basically impossible, I've not tried any others since then.
However, I think you can change your country flag/settings on Streamate it gives you similar countries to choose from I believe. You can just change it in settings without needing a vpn

Thanks roseforarose- slow streaming is definitely a concern I had! I'm not sure if changing flag would help, tbh. I mean, they can pretty much tell I'm in US, my regs all know that now, plus, I read that the ones who really want to find out our location can somehow do it through finding our our IP address, apparently can if they know how to do that??

So I got the dreaded 'Payments on hold' because my address needs to be updated because I assume my 1099 got returned, but there's nowhere in my account to update my address. How am I supposed to update it?

All it said was that my address had to be verified and to contact support, and I was like why do I have to contact support about the address hold when support is who placed the address hold?? Unfortunately upon uploading my address proof I'm now unable to stream till it's approved. I hope it's approved...I am paperless on all my bills and used my prescription paperwork from the pharmacy.

I'm pretty sure customers won't be able to find your IP since you're not connecting directly with them but through a 3rd party platform.
It's more likely they can see or hear something unique to your area. I don't have the accent of my home city but there are a couple of words and turns of phrase that are unique to it and every now and again a customer has noticed. I actually noticed with a customer once and then spent the next 5 minutes reassuring him that i could not see his IP. Poor guy was traumatised, but he'd lived there his whole life and didn't realise 1 single word identified him to that small city.

Leave logicapture off then in the streamate setting make sure you have the cam selected and don't have external encoder, then refresh. If I've had logicapture on mine always switches to external encoder and then doesn't automatically find the cam when I put the settings right, I always have to refresh again.

I think it was software interference. I had also downloaded Logitune. Logicapture still isn't connecting to SM but my camera alone is.
Thanks for the help!
Update: After another restart, it's all working now.

I use Express VPN, pay 12.99 a month for it.
I use a different country..it doesn't slow anything down, & works w/SM. :)
There's also one called surfshark, I haven't used it tho.

I realized after I uploaded the pharmacy paper that it probably wasn’t going to work because it wasn’t mail, I searched this thread and saw someone said they used a collections bill which fortunately(or really, UNfortunately….) I have received one since I moved so I uploaded that but they rejected it. I saw that someone else said they sent a pdf of a bill so after sending that and crying to Liz it was accepted. :party:

Hi Carmen, you can use Splitcam as a video driver, it's free and it works as an encoder also if u want to really splitcam.
You can do everything with it and the picture looks great.
Have you tried going to your downloaded files to try an older version? That's what I did without taking the update.
I m trying that also. Hopefully it is going to solve the problem ty Carmen

Everyone is having cam issue lately. How that? I m not sure ..can you explain which cam if you use an app...external cam... disable cam from setting and unable again. Try this.
Look for drivers
Update Windows pc if needed
Click on your cam settings to troubleshoot
Restart your pc browser
Last buy a new cam or pc... ( hope not needed)

This has happened to me like four times this week but it eventually goes back to normal after I unplug and replug the USB for the webcam, sometimes takes a few times. Very odd glitch.

I m reading this thread and cam technology one tbh seems we are having cam issues. I reported my issue to support yday. I did everything in my side. I tried to downgrade app version so let's see if was it. Bought a new pc anyway I must to lol mine was ridiculous weak anyway it worked for one year streaming on 3 website. So.... since 13 of this month (contest week I think) I have issue, they update graphics on SM, message system etc...
I can't be sure however seem too much coincidence and I m not the only one. I would report every issue if there is. We should use apps to make our streaming look better.IMO..I don't think just lighting is needed... xx ty

I also had an exclusive block where he got kicked out three times at random. I told him to contact support after we finished the show to let them know and maybe give him a partial refund or credits or something (since there's no chargebacks I know it wouldn't get taken out of my earnings.) I feel like it's useless for us to make support tickets that don't get seen for days when the custies have live support.
Also note I had another block session later and there were no issues.

Oddly enough, I get the black screen for my webcam too especially if I move it too much during a show. My webcam is not the issue. I recently replaced the cord but got an extra Brio 4K just in case for when this happens.

which brand is your cam? logitech became loose the usb after a bit. so each year new cam just for the cable. actually i looked if you can remaplace just only the cable look like tricky and not stable then anyway. so for that i did not buy brio yet
try to find a better one.
