Imlive is so confusing to me. Is the free text box the same as "private messages"? My eyes were darting all over the screen lol

In the free text chat (which is on the right hand side of your screen), let's say you have 4 guys in there at once typing to you. If you want to type something specifically to BigDickBrotha, you would click on his name and then type/post the message so it goes just to him. If you don't highlight his name, then the message you post will go to everyone in the room.

Yes the right side of your page is an open free text chat - everyone can see what you type unless you highlight his name and click on private message. It gets a little confusing, cause once you click and highlight a members name, you have options of kicking him out or pvt message etc. ALOT of clicking to be done. So rarely do I use this, if they wanna chat privately with me, there's another option for them, click LIVE VIDEOCHAT and PAY lol

Yeah I never understood the live text chat. I get it if I'm not in free chat, but when I AM in free live video chat...why are you trying to type to me in there? It makes no sense lol and I've never had a paying customer type to me in text chat first then take me private. Ever....maybe its more made for when models aren't in free chat but makes no sense to me when you are...

^ I generally agree. I've had paying members talk to me in there but it's usually when I'm already in a show and they want to know when I'll be available. IMO most of the guys who want to chat you up in text chat are trying to take your attention away from FLVC.

^^^ Yes, free text chat window on the right side is made for when models are in Private chat mode only, this setting is since IML inception, in between free video chat was introduced so when u work free chat mode u talk with people on the left chat window & should ignore people in free text window on the right.
Why they keep this setup still? Cant tell but it has to do with programming i guess, SM has free chat open too when models are in private so people can still enter ur room. Exclusive kicks everyone out on SM same like on ImLive, iml have true private video as well where only a member can join paid video.
It's $6/min fix rate, i was once taken true private there, could not believe it, it'a rarely used i bet.

AliceFun, VERY rarely I'm sure, since I've never had it and I've done a ton of shows there where you would have thought someone would say "Hey, I want one-on-one attention, so let me take her excl". Everyone wants to go to pvt or pop inside someone else's pvt. It's like the cheapos can't be bothered to go excl.

Never will understand why come to my text chat to be ignored generally when theres a thousand free video chat rooms to be in...maybe I am special with my ignores, like the guy in the Sprint commericial. Last night had in there a guy who has spent in the past, but lately has burned me like 3 times on going private. I ignored him. In and out he came. To text chat..today I log on, there he is in text chat..IGNORE and lo and behold he went private. HUH. He figured it all out :)

Is there a way to turn sound off (my sound) while in free chat on iml? The sound drop down menu only shows me what mics are available to use. I was hoping I could have sound on/off like on SM so that I'm not rewarding the freeloaders too much but not sure if it's possible?
AliceFun
11-26-2013, 08:56 PM
^^^ i think u can only turn sound off on ur pc if u use external microphone or on camera software if it's built in camera, i dont see any option to turn sound off on imlive chat window. For this reason i got myself a microphone that can be switched on/ off from it's button cause i was not able to turn camera mic off at all. so now if i dont wanna be heard i press the mic button lol. i also deactivated camera mic.

Another way is to right click anywhere on your live video chat page. Choose "Settings", and the flash control box appears. Click on the Microphone icon, and slide the volume all the way to the left, and this will turn down your audio. Turn it back up when you need it. One other way is to choose a microphone you have installed but do not have plugged in while you are in free mode, and switch to live mic upon private mode.

Sweet. Lovely ideas. Thank you. The flash settings will be my best bet for now. I'm using the mic my webcam came with, and I'm stuck with that setup for now. IML is proving to be more time consuming than I remember SM being when I first started. One hour today, zero privates. Thank god I made some money on SM so I didn't feel like I totally wasted my time. :)

well you seem very sweet. Im sure in no time you will have them lining up to chat with you. Could have been a bad hour of the day. It does seem like we have to put a little more effort into our amount of time online than once was. Still, it's worth it in the end. Esp now no CB makes it even sweeter. The tips forum is a good place to hang out, all the hosts are so helpful and friendly to help you figure out where to click and such. best wishes to you all

Yes, we do it in free chat and paste somehting like " if you wanna hear us, come in pvt to get the full experience. We keep our mics muted in flvc" If opening the flash settings makes your room freeze up like ours, just look on the left bottom area of the screen for a dropdown menu (while streaming either in regular or free chat). There should be an "external mic" option, and it's a mic that doesn't exist. Click it and youre good to go. wanna be heard in pvt? after going pvt, just select the actual mic you use from the dropdown. Using this menu, you can also toggle between a built in mic and the one inside your cam to see which is higher quality. Hope this helped!

I don't show an "external mic " option either in the microphone selection dropdown. Only the three actual mic options that I have. I splitcam when I'm on IML, so unless someone asks an important question, I don't answer them at all. I try to type mostly on both sites with a "yes so and so" here and there.

If you have Manycam installed, there is an option for Audio output. Version 3.0.92 is what I have installed. (You can see the Audio tab at the top, and if you click, you will see your microphones listed. Dont check any of the boxes or anything, and you can close manycam.) The audio output is a virtual microphone and the driver is installed on your system with manycam. Until you check a mic in the manycam program to be used by the driver, it broadcasts no noise at all. It shows up on my Imlive audio drop down menu selection as Manycam Virtual Microphone and can be used as a dummy mic.

This was in my saved posts, I forgot to submit it:
I just dont know how Im supposed to take a photo of, for example, me cuckolding somebody when I work in girl alone, though I do tons of these types of shows, (mostly talking), take a picture of the words? Like Vet CamGirl said, hopefully they will get this one figured out but in meantime, hey, I still appear on the pages of IML for the individual fetishes I chose, rejected photo or not, soooo...
This is going to sound stupid but if you do the classic SPH hand gesture (like youre squashing an invisible bug with two fingers) or just hold a dildo.... menacingly, itll probably to most likely be accepted /experience has demonstrated as cuckolding. You say whaaa? but yes, it most likely will :shrug: swim experience (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=swim)

"Your wife's idea of a threesome is fucking you with her lawyer? Come have a real threesome on live #SexCams."
"You'll be Burger King, and our #camgirls will be McDonald's. Have It Your Way and watch them Loving It."

I signed up a couple weeks ago so of course i have to do the free chat at 98 cents per min or whatever. I had a ton of privates (of course) my first night on. But i just cant do it. I didnt make squat. All of those shows with a low percentage and low rate = shit. My kitty was sore. And my brain too. I cant deal with this site now. tsk tsk tsk
LOL @those tweets not how I would market, but as long as they pay the 4.80/minute whatever gets them in the door I guess.

I can't remember when i had to do that almost two years ago but i do remember not making anything. Mr. has an account but he can't even make payout cause he doesnt sit there for hours dealing with the chatty-no-spendy gay section of imlive. Their percentage is awful ontop of you having to have a low rate. He had a 15 minute pvt once and he only got $4! Good thing it was just talking, but still, waaayy too cheap/ If We had to complain about anything, it would be the percentage... The CBs weren't ever really bad for us but this new cb's not being passed onto performers is pretty good. If you aren't using your disconnect and block feature for the assholes you come across occasionally, then you might benefit from doing so. It's saved us from bad reviews many times except recently. This dude came in pvt 5 times. He had an average of 5-10 minutes per session and after 2 minutes, they can rate/review you. He waited until about the 8 minute mark in each session then got overly digusting in his slippery slope of fetishes and asked for vomit so we d&b'd him each time but unblocked him after since he was very adamant about going pvt. The last time he came in, he immediately asked for vomit and we disconnect and blocked him. Apparently, it doesn't always work because he was able to leave a bad review. We asked to have ti taken down and it was since he was asking us to violate the host agreement. Hopefully you don't get any vomit dudes cause it's not fun getting a bad review for not doing something not allowed... lol

Soooo Fetish galaxy photos are pissing me off. There are many devices and props I'll never own or use on myself or my partner that are impossible to portray for example, chastity. I will never own one of these devices since I've no intention of causing my partner any discomfort. Though, I do alot of roleplay as if I have the key and the member on the other end actually has a device which only makes sense. Unfortunately, Imlive is really bad at approving photos and all the photos I took with their screenshot in interface while streaming are "too low quality". Lol, they are admitting they suck and the resolution is low... Anyway, since I was wondering if it's worth the trouble to get a wooden paddle that I'll never use to conform to these silly photo requirements, I decided to investigate. Fetishgalaxy has some pretty awful rankings if they're true. Understandable for a site that's just getting started... But there are only 3 countries they are getting traffic from. This doesn't make it worth bending over backwards to take ten damn photos of fetishes I cater to. 3565635657
thoughts anyone? Has your traffic for fetishes improved? We haven't seen any difference since we were already doing over 50% fetishes 50% regular sex

IDK, but Id rather keep the 3 countries blocked that I have. (russia, romania and my home state) since we only get a whopping 3. I suppose if i did FLC, with open boobs open feet, those turkeys from Turkey would probably annoy me enough to change one of the countries, for sure.
I block Russia and Romania as well, but that is because I had a LOT of free loaders from those places. I don't do freechat though so "open boobs" is not an issue.

Agreed, but More blocked places would mean less traffic for imlive, and even though I've seen no ads so far, they may rely on hits for SEO. So, to them any traffic is good, even if it's the "troll a cammodel" as of late type. If you want to laugh, open the photos attached....They are the epitome of awesome that comes with imlive. Anyone see guests appearing green? Imlive said it was some "anonymous" thing but we both know they don't have that... or none of them ever go private, coincidence? I think not. Imlive was good tonight, hopefully everyone didnt have to deal with the loser trolls.
