I did use the call button and they still didn't answer. :(
Me too! Until I realized you have to PM them. They don't want you to ask out in the open. One of them told me that. It takes away from your show. And I think they are either watching multiple rooms or don't have sound on. But they just added a button to call a rep to your room!

I had the same issue two or three days ago. I had to log out and come back in. I did tell the room admin about it.
Has anyone had success using the "Break" button recently?
I tried it a few days ago, and it wouldn't let me out of break (yes, I clicked the button to return, but nothing happened). I had to end the show and restart. Then the guys told me that the break button doesn't work (I mean, you aren't visible while "on break," or anything, but you can't come back easily). It seems that if you go on break, log out, and don't come back, you will continue to show up as online but "on break" for a really long time.
Thankfully, the encoder codes stay the same all the time, so logging out and back in is much easier on KL than on SM.

For those of us not streaming on cams, how can we get the encoder settings?
Also, if the computer is good, it could support two encoders running in the same time, ie SM and Kink?
Yes, I've been doing that in the past couple weeks, seems to be working just fine :)

Thank you so much. I asked the room mod and they didn't ever answer back. I swear they don't answer most of the damn time. GRRRR
I dont ask them anything
I have called for CS to my room multiple times and noone responds
I have hit up the kink anon in my room , no response
I send very detailed messages
such as
A. Encoder
1.settings are needed for models, why is this not available on the site? no answer
2.send in my setting i used (sent in cams settings)
3.what settings are recommended (said mine are perfectly close)
B. Pricing
1.Does kink armory models work on a tier until until they reach a certain level (NO, model make their own pricing)
2. What prices are seen to bring in customers to private(they recommend 4.99/9.99)
C.Labeling
only through kinkydollars ( I never had a high turn over with this program and Martin said there is no future plans for white labels)
here is the code for encoder I use with zero issue for cams, they use 3.2. I have never had issues with cams like I do sm.
1. Preset: Custom
2. Make sure the Video box is checked
3. Device: Select the appropriate web cam from the drop down menu if not selected by default
4. Format: H.264
5. Format Advanced: Profile = Main; Level = 3.0; Keyframe Frequency = 1 seconds
6. Frame rate: 29.97
7. Input size: 640x480 (required)
8. Bit Rate: 800 Kbps
9. Output Size: 640x480
10. Check the box “Deinterlace” on the bottom right section.
11. Set the Audio settings to the following:
Channel = Mono
Sample Rate = 44100
Bit Rate = 56
12. Remove check mark for “Input Video” and “Audio” on the right side of the menu for the
preview settings
13. Check the box “Auto Adjust” which will check “Degrade Quality” by default
14. Remove the check mark for “Save to File” on the right side.
All other fields in FMLE can be left at default value.

Hey, so in their email newsletter the mentioned upcoming "kinky certifications":
Toy Kits and KINKY certifications are coming!
We will soon be adding an icon for those that are certified Kinky! If you buy a toy kit or have your own kinky toys, you can be certified.
Performers that cam from the SF Studios will be first to be offered the toy kits for purchase at a discounted rate of $205 including sales tax. If you're purchasing kits at the Armory please see Tamara or Martin.
All Performers will soon be offered Toy Kits to accommodate their BDSM needs!
Kits will include:
Crop / Flogger / Paddle / Wrist & Ankle Cuffs / Metal Handcuffs / Nipple Clamps and a 3 pack of Anal Training Butt Plugs
Have to admit I'm curious about how that'll work...

Did this just come out? I didn't get the memo. Seems odd to me that someone would host on Kinklive.com and not have that basic stuff. I imagine they'll ask you to show Kink Help the stuff live to certify? Better proof than sending in photos/easier.

Dude, I hear the atari sound from KINK , it reminds me of 80s atari
I was in chat doing a free show for 15 mins unknowingly. one dude tipped 5 bucks the sound lol
I guess I can do zero gold shows on sm now that I broke my fear (unknowingly) of mast in free chat smh

Huh, I've been getting kinklive "newsletters" emailed to me since I first signed up. Maybe it was a checkbox I clicked?
Yeah, I wouldn't be getting a toy kit as I've got most of that list already.
...aaaand pretty much everything but the riding crop is collecting dust or in a box "somewhere around here" or in the bedroom getting only recreational use until I've got someone to collaborate with on with videos. Meanwhile my strapon is working overtime and I really need to get a wooden ruler and a wooden spoon for props to threaten/simulate hitting with.
I'm more wondering what their "certifying" will entail. And how useful it'll actually be to customers.

Took a few hours, I got rejected the first time b/c my ID had glare, I emailed them and resent, was OKed within the hour. Perhaps there was a problem with your submission? May want to email them.

I was thinking the same thing.
My guess is when models signed up, there is more vanilla models? No equipment? I know when I pulled out a paddle, the leather was never treated and fell apart, my flogger lol same.
Luckily I can get by with verbal mutilation, clothespins, wire coat hanger, a thin curtain rod for spankings wrapped in electric tape & Random rope from my car (dont ask why there is a 50 foot rope in my car)
Homemade supplies are actually fun tbh. I never thought of making them from household items.

Yay pervertables! Pervertables are so much fun. A coat hanger for trousers with clamps is fun too, candles, duct tape, ruler/wooden spoon, scarves for gags, so many options. I'm always telling lazy male subs what they can get on the cheap and they so rarely do.

The weekly pay period ended last night. So you have to look at the prior pay period to see your funds and they usually are in my account by Friday if you do ACH.

Just bought their toy kit at the Armory. For what it's worth, I think it's neither a great deal nor a terribly bad one - I really liked the colors and the quality, so I went for it. Here's everything, with pics (I removed the packaging for various things, including the anal toys and handcuffs):
- Paddle
- 2x wrist cuffs
- 2x ankle cuffs
- Collar
- Handcuffs
- Ball gag
- 3x anal training toys (I really like the quality of these - they're silicone and have that great soft feel)
- Crop
- Switch
- Nipple Clamps
- Flogger
- Kink Tote

Is there a way for cam clients to send a kit to a model anonymously/ securely without giving our address? It would be cool to have a link to direct them to when a guy requests a show with certain equipment, "No, I don't have a ball-gag but you can send me the whole kit and be my favorite customer for the week!" or whatever.
It would have to be an option whether it shows or not, so only models interested in recieving it would give the option, and then could turn it off after getting the kit or changing her mind about suggeting the gift (prefers the money that week for bills). Yes, I always want the viewer to spend the $$.

So... I've decided that I can't split KL, SM, and AW all at the same time. I want to try doing SM/AW and KL/AW, but I don't really know how to organize that.
~I like KL better than SM, except that the free chat is *extremely* tedious compared to SM free chat, which is pretty fast-paced for me. They both have down sides, and I'm not sure which I like better.
~My earnings with SM/AW are more consistent than KL/AW, but I think I have the potential to make a lot more per hour on KL/AW on a good day.
~I like the idea of an "organic workflow" where I work whichever sites are making the most at the moment, and then switch when it slows down, but I also feel like having a routine schedule is better for having regs.
Does anyone have any tips on this? How do you work KL into your schedule, assuming you don't split all your sites at once?

I have two computers, two webcams, two separate connections because I don't have great upload speeds in the country. To start the day I do SM/KL or SM/iFriends depending on how busy I feel the alternate site will be or if I expect any regulars. When I want to take a break and update my website and/or clipstores I do IF/KL. I like the flexibility so far! Some days I don't get to KL or IF I just do one or the other, depends. No real strategy yet, as I've been doing SM/IF for years and I'm just now integrating KL as a new site. When I get back in shape I want to add MFC to the mix and try out a token site for the first time, but I'm wary, don't know if I have the time to split my attention that much, as I only cam 3 days a week (try to do 6-7 hours a shift though)

I *think* that right now they're only available at the Armory. I know they're planning to sell the kits online soon. One thing I like is that you don't need to pay for them upfront; they can deduct the cost from your earnings directly over the course of one or two payment periods (-$205 one week or -$100 the first week and -$105 the next). I'm not sure whether they'll offer that online,

I'll ask Martin when the kits will be available online and I'll forward your suggestion when I see him, because I think that would be awesome!

So my biggest issue with KL is the bandwidth. So much freaking lag! And always before in about to do something. I've had multiple complaints, and one guy even leave a play session after saying " I know your really trying, but your cam sucks." Well I have a the logitech c920 or whatever and was like wtf else can I do!? So after messing around, I notice if you change your bandwidth settings from "very good" to just "good" almost all your lag will disappear! And for me at least, the quaility if the picture hasn't suffered. Since I stopped using the better bandwidth I haven't gotten one complaint on my picture. Just a tip for those noticing a super lagging cam.

use the encoder!! it cuts out almost all lagging/skipping issues.
that being said, I decided to post on here because I was curious whether any of y'all have had recent issue with your room being stuck in a private session even after it ended? it's so annoying and has happened after every private the last 2-3 days... I have had also issues with my room showing a much higher room count then actually is there. makes me feel crazy sometimes...

Tonight my KINK-HELP person was kind of cool. S/he (I suspect she) PMed me a couple times to give tips about guys coming in the room. She let me know that one of the guys is a regular spender, and that another one is into medical fetish. I guess she must really be engaged at work, since she obviously pays enough of attention to know about individual custies.
Unfortunately, it was freeloader central most of the time for me.

Are you using Adobe Encoder?
