View Full Version : The Streamate Thread
I have a new Streamate account and my webcam keeps getting disconnected. It happened when a guest tried to take me exclusive and it happened again when I tried to go live again. Half the time when I try to go live Streamate doesn't even recognize my Logitech. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?
My Logitech is from 2017 but my MacBook is brand new. I'm not sure if maybe my Logitech has gone bad or something?
omg my logitech are just alive for less than 1year. could be that or something on software. try to use the built cam to see if it is the cam the issue. however lol i would buy a new cam myself anyway. ;D
you always need a back up, still investment nahhh?
try to see graphic card if it is update?
try to deconnect the cam from setting and re connect again?

I used to, not bc of the 70%, but bc of the 20% I can get from their spending on other models - but then my customers ended up only spending on me anyway!! Lol... So it's better to take them somewhere like LoyalFans (80%) or pay by crypto or tip on WishTender (90%).
IMO, SM should increase the % for models referring customers bc there are such better options now. The only good thing is making 90% off referred customers buying my videos.
Oh my gosh! I just realized I was just in your room. You're so adorable! You're voice is the cuuuuutest :goodvibes

Hey girls , I ve been on SM for the last 3 years, from like 2 weeks I have this issue , always been on first page and never dropped more than few rows, never pages , somehow lately my placement changes like crazy , 1 hour I am in frist page and the next I am in page 4 , it makes me really crazy , I be contacted support about it but by the time they have answered my placement went back to page 1 and they said it was ok. Did anyone ever experinced this before , can someome please give me a clue what to do about it . Also , during the times I am im page 3/4 I get 0/1 potentials and almost no traffic
Yeh that's how it's been for me for the last couple months. Many have complained about the same thing. Now I just try to make the most of the good traffic hours and I'm working on other cam income avenues. Let's hope it's only temporary!

Honestly? for me it's been absolutely random, which is maddening cause it means every day you have to play it by ear. I just try to stay online as long as possible when the traffic is there. I did find that daytime (UK time) has not been so good for me as it used to, and if I manage to do a night shift (up until midnight) my room gets fuller, but my health has made it almost impossible for me to get online that late because I crash and get super fatigued, so still trying to figure it out.
Sometimes the morning wood shift is good and I find that even though shows are shorter, guys don't waste time chatting and go right into privat, probably because they're horny and they need to get to work.

No you were totally cute. I was browsing and stayed for a sec because you had on headphones. Every time I tried headphones my encoder gets all wonky and I wanted to see if your stream quality remained. Then you started talking and your voice was so cute I had to stay for a min. You were just talking about how you like spanks and that you looked like a frog. I was like that is THEE cutest freakin frog I've ever seen. lol

What a bust this bonus week has been for me so far.
At one point yesterday, I sat in free chat for over 15 minutes before someone came in.
The longest I've ever gone has been a minute or 2.
I know I was live, because a reg was in there the entire time talking and tipping.
So discouraging.
Dec is my 13th cammiversary on Streamate, and it's the worst earning month ever. So far.:(

Thank you for answering my question! I'll try these ideas! I guess worst case scenario I can use the built-in cam on my Mac. I've had no issues camming/ with it on other sites. It sounds like I might just need a new webcam.

Hey everyone- hoping someone has had this issue before or can give me some guidance on this. I tried camming last night and it would not let me connect. Once I got through the facial recognition, during the systems diagnostics stage it told me I could not connect to streamate and to check my connection. It's still doing it today. Have not been able to stream at all. I believe I tried all the typical things- different browsers, tried streaming from my phone, restarted everything, etc. The only thing I can think that's different is I am across the country from where I usually am, but I've been here before and had no issues and my connection is good. I emailed Liz but I really need to work and have never had this happen before.

There has been issues with the site.
On the SM Discord Server suggested fixes- were to refresh the SM Connect page or use VPN.
I hope that helps!
Doesn't Streamate ban any model who uses a VPN? I could have sworn someone came here saying her account was permanently banned for that.

When that happened to me it took 4 days for them to figure out they gave my chat host name to someone else who requested my name.. So just a thought...

It really is a mood killer.
I can, as the saying goes, sell ice to Eskimos.
But I need the Eskimos to show up!!
Add to that: I have been experiencing lots of customers whom I had shows with, appear in my room, but when it's time to play, they bail.
Frustrating, because I'm always counting the money lost when they do that.:-\

I didn't know that I thought it was another site. I looked it up and you were right- there has been model accounts banned because of using VPN.

I don't think so. Just heard a model saying she is using VPN because she is at a coffee shop where they ban adult sites, so she has to use it in order to stream

which payment method are non usa models using without issues these days?
asking for a friend. options are no longer offered with bank wire on SM.
so there is only Masspay, skrill, epayservice, cosmo, paxum.
any good or bad experiences with these?

MP fell apart a month or so ago, there are posts back in this thread. I think most have migrated to other payment methods since, it just became impossible to withdraw funds. SM reversed payments for those affected who wanted to exit MP.

Exactly the same here!!!I was going crazy yesterday because of that, I turned on External Show because I could not handle saying Hi to everyone and then having them disappear, but of course, dead in there too. Today is just as slow and the few people keep disappearing, and one told me he got disconnected. This bonus week is a complete disaster for me, the worst time ever since last December when I got back to camming. I had planned to be taking the last 2 weeks of the year off because I have some family coming over, now I absolutely cant do that anymore, so I will have to work at least 2-3 hours a day around them. Maximum stress!! Grrr. Oh and, on my other sites has been slow as well, CamContacts dead and burried (they had a big promotion last month and now I think all members are drained - and Imlive is Imlive... but well, those 2 can stay there open and without torturing me, but I HATE SLOW freechat with a passion, it's killing me! I have ADD and can't just sit like that!!

anyone know if cbt is allowed on sm? i think i read somewhere that it was, but i just want to be sure i can tell these guys to punch themselves in the dick with no consequences lol. i wrote to sm support and asked about strangulation play, which is a hard no, in case anyone was wondering. :)

no they do not. i asked to Liz.

here her answer

( I deleted the post becasue I didn't want to steer anyone in the wrong direction)
it can be adultwork only or another reason and maybe she think that it is vpn use. i use vpn since 6months and before i asked to all website. i can not work on adultwork only. then i mean how they can find out if you use same server country you can still use different pc... AW lol anyway i do not use to stream on adultwork bc it is not good camming there anyway.
Anyone have their views go down after turning off geoblocking? I turned my geoblocking off for the first time ever a few weeks ago. I've been with sm for 4 years and have been doing pretty well with consistent views and customers. I was just curious about placement and was told to take it off in order to see where I place on sm home page. My placement is good usually on the top 6 rows of the front page but my traffic has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY! Just curious to see if anyone else has had this happen to them?
the traffic is in general down, geoblocking should make you more visible. however i think now there are more performers on the website and so your placement is affected. i guess so tbh/:O

It's actually vindicating to know that it's slow for everyone at the minute. I would say ladies just take a deep breath and remember that with this gig you always have highs and lows in terms of paying traffic, just focus on getting your hours done. It's nearing Christmas, everyone is skint from buying presents and preparations for the holiday, or they are away on holiday and can't use a porn site. Then again after the new year people might have less disposable income but it WILL pick up again. It always does. Just ride the wave and manifest the best :). This is not forever and it's NOT YOUR FAULT! So don't let it knock your confidence. Let's keep trying our best!

Does anyone know how to change a video from charging a fee to have it be free?
I uploaded a holiday greeting yesterday, but it made me type in a price to post it.
It got approved right away, but nobody will see it.
Do I have to delete my only free video greeting that I've had on there?

Honey. You will not be happier...:laughing: At least you're making $0 warm in your own home and can roll over, go to sleep and try again later vs dealing with gross grabby customers, bad breath, shitty managers, catty girls, girls giving $40 bjs and $20 hjs, being freezing cold in the club, having to drive to work and possibly still owing the house fee. Stripping in LA is hell. Unless you meant Louisiana. In that case carry on...lol

Is SM going to be switching to tokens? My customer just experienced this glitch when trying to do a block:
haha i want to do a block in a sec
but it was like excl block
but instead of $$ amount
it was token amount
but i tried to just do an excl
and it was like you cant exceed your 1000 dollar limit
which was not what i was trying to do
