Awe that does suck! I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm sure you were missed and they will be lined up to spend their Christmas money on you.
lmao i was about to request "can a camgirl spare a GOOD CUSTOMER FOR ONE NIGHT" lol a little ballsy.
this year I actually texted customers talking about "merry Christmas, I have the flu but thought of you" and a few sent a tip. work any angle I can, this week's angle is sympathy ::)

Now we have the option to set a time for 'the grey members', i looked up settings in SMC and saw the option to have them still visible for 1, 5, 10 and 15 mins after they left.
Mines was set automatically to 5 mins but i set it to 1 min, no need for more lol.
Interesting how SM updates these little things w.o announcing us, i always need to go look up things and i find new options available to me.
Good they updated the timing tho.
Also, i expected better traffic myself and better shows but i made some money i am happy with as i need to buy me some art work supplies for a project here.
It could have been better but every year is harder especially when a contest is taking place during holidays.
What exactly are they users? Are they the potential users we see numbered at the bottom of our viewers? Or users who haven’t spent. I haven’t heard of grey users before.

View Recent Visitors on SMConnect (https://streamatehelp.com/view-recent-visitors-on-smconnect/)December 5, 2019/in News (https://streamatehelp.com/category/news/) /by Kimberly (https://streamatehelp.com/author/kimberly/)If you’re a fan of taking notes about your guests, you’re going to love our newest update for SMConnect (https://streamatehelp.com/smconnect/). When streaming through the SMConnect page, members who leave your room will no longer disappear right away. If the member has been in your room for more than 30 seconds, their name will now turn grey and stay visible at the bottom either your Paid or Guest chat list.
This effect lasts for 15 minutes, giving you extra time to take actions on members after they leave:
Click a recent visitor’s name to re-read their messages and DMs.
Hover over the folder icon to see your latest note, or click through to add a new note. Notes can help you remember members’ preferences, so use this time to write down anything you want to see next time they enter your room.
Star the member as a favorite contact (https://streamatehelp.com/mailbox/#stars) to make it easier to find and message them through your mailbox.
Bad customer? Use this time to report them (https://streamatehelp.com/reporting-members-and-performers/) if necessary.
Recent visitor names will dissapear when your stream ends, so make sure to complete any actions before you click the “Stop Show” button. This feature is now live for all performers, but you can use the settings menu to turn off the “Recent Visitors” option if you want to see online guests only.
We want to continue to improve this feature over time, so we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas. Contact us (https://streamatehelp.com/support/) with your thoughts or questions. Happy streaming!

Now the effect lasts 1, 5 or 15 mins depending on how u set it, that's the setting i was talking about, they give us the option to set the time their name lasts in our room in grey color, i said 'grey users' cause they become 'grey' after they leave our rooms ;)

Did anyone else get shorted on their 30% bonus? I've done the math multiple times and it definitely wasn't 30%. That's after I factored in the payment fee.

Cammodels links, video sales, gold club and affiliate website are not included in the 30% bonus. So check all your earnings by category and see if you are still short.

Can someone explain to me when the ACH payments are delivered, like what day you get them on usually.
Ive only ever used checks.
For example, My pay period for this week (ending sat) would be delivered next ____.
How many days between the Saturday it ends, and the day they send them out. I signed up 3 weeks ago, was still on vacation and started working again this pay period.

This makes me feel a lot better. 24th and 25th just didn't line up as good cam days for me so I took them both off but I've been seriously kicking myself for "missing out on so much money". Clearly not.
I've worked every Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on SM since I started camming 3 years ago. It's always been great. This year, I cooked a nice dinner for me and my boyfriend on Christmas Eve and then spent Christmas Day with his family. Looks like I didn't miss anything. Not planning on working New Year's Eve either even though I've always done well then too. I have no idea what happened to this site but I'm sick of giving up 65% of the money I earn to make nothing. I did okay last Saturday when I worked but that was only because of a regular I've had since I started.
In case u guys cant connect the vibe toys cause it wont generate a new QR code in Chrome just go to Firefox and try there, that's what i did and was able to connect my toy.
Last time i contacted support with this issue they answered me after 4 days, i needed the solution right away but soo happy i now figured out what to do here.
The toy connection process is soo glitchy and there are no ways to get a new QR code when it's stuck but to try another browser they support which is Firefox.
ETA: last evening during my shift a former cam model (thats what she said) came to talk to me in free chat, she even tipped me some gold and cause i had nobody else in my room i asked her what the toy option looks like when online, she said she sees nothing, i then refreshed toy manually and she said "now i see that ur toy is online", what have u done? i told her i refreshed and she said "i'll let u know if and when the toy goes offline" but then she had to leave and she said she'll return, i then logged off cause i was pissed cause my room was empty and my toy was showing as offline to members even it was online on my side. how do i know when the damn thing goes offline for them, how often do i need to refresh it manually so it shows ON?
By the way, i felt something is wrong with the toy feature cause when it was working i had better traffic but now is dead again, what gives?!

i have this issue for weeks

You know, when I started using the toy a week ago my room was filling up with people I didn't see for years, they tipped and came Pvt, my hourly increased significantly for a couple days, it was a boom, didn't last tho because the toy started to disconnect (went offline often) or I couldn't connect it to the site cause the QR code was not working giving me connection error.
As explained above the toy connection to site is unstable, it pisses me off not to be able to work with it properly cause when it's on I feel SM lists me on a category that makes me more visible otherwise I am somewhere at the back of page four on main site.
I wish to know how to work this feature better and to know why the toy goes offline this often in FeelConnect application even I was just tipped. Is the damn thing broken again, it has issues with the application, also to site connection, what do I need to do to make it work properly and have it connected all the time? I have the Esca toy.
SM says they still in testings with SMC but for me this toy can be a life saver as w.o it I have no business here.

Hope it’s ok to ask a question here, I know the other SM thread isn’t for questions.
I have looked on SM and searched on here with no joy, so my question is. How do you get to appear in other categories, I’ve noticed other profiles in different ones at the same time, i.e Housewife and MILF, curvy etc.
I’ve searched for myself and seem to be in only one category. TY

You need to select the relevant category u wanna fit in but some will work automatically.
For example if u select the body type Curvy u'll fit in Curvy, if u select specific age u'll be listed in that age category. If u select a specific body attribute or the type of show u offer, u will appear to the relevant category (say u hairy, mature, curvy, offer anal sex, u white girl, so on, every option u tick or untick puts u in specific category and takes u out of it.
Just go to ur dashboard and enter every tab in there under ur main picture and see what applies to u and what not, tick or untick the boxes.
For example i can play around with age to fit in matures or not, i can pick curvy or bbw, i can pick a color hair, eyes, so on, u can be accurate or not depending on where u wanna fit in. I am accurate here also regarding age, it helps me list my real age but it does not help to be listed as curvy so i go by a small bbw.

Thank you, when you say play around with age do you alter the display age or date of birth? Also I don’t seem to have that many categories to choose from. Under edit categories there are only five to choose from, is that the same for everyone?
^^^ You can either tick the box to show real age or choose a display age of your choice, you can't change birthday.
Not at PC now but u have more tabs to look up not just Categories, there are Kinky attributes and Personal statistics too.

Total paid... the timer is not going soooo why did it chime......
To anyone using a vibe toy on SMC, is it recommended to connect to the site every time we start a session (means to delete the old ID and connect to the new generated QR code) or connect the old ID in FeelConnect app on our phones?
I wish we had more instructions/ explanations how things work regarding vibe toys on SMC :(

Quick question-which categories get the most traffic?
I dont believe there is a way to say exactly, just be yourself and pick categories that are linked to what kind of shows you offer and the custies will come! if you just pick categories based on what you THINK customers want and not what you c n offer they will see through that when they talk to you. for example dont pick big breasts and tattoos if you have smaller breasts and like 1 tattoo. lol. just be genuinely you and pick categories accordingly :)

Top girls in all categories. Bring your "sluttiest" version on cam and you should do fine.
These days after New year are just terrible, my room is deserted, barely anyone comes by and nobody is spending, guess they all broke now ... I just don't have the patience to stay on more than 2 hrs, I log off cause how dead it is.
Staying on w.o making money hurts me more than not logging on at all :(

Hi. Since the day before yesterday we are unable to connect using SMConnect. It just crashes 4 seconds after pressing start show.
Our earnings went to almost 0. Flash streaming makes our stats suck.
Support is making us test our internet in every different way, but it's not that. We tried different PCs, different browsers - nothing.
Over six months of streaming successfully and now this!

Is Streamate having a booth at the AVN? I’m starting to wonder if this bad traffic is related with them doing some “improvements” for the AVN at our cost. Traffic was badge last week of December, but when you do almost 30 hours in a week and only made a total of $16 dollars really makes you wonder what is going on.

I don't think so.. its too soon after almost 3 back to back contests for a new one.
If you look back at contests in the past they held a BFF contest after the NYE/NYD contest around January 20th last year.
Sadly I think its just January slowness in combination of general SM deadness/glitches. Not good here either. *shrug*
