new girl here, need advice getting my cam to stream
wow, what an awesome forum this is, i really hope i can get some good advice!
so im new. kind of.. i cammed for webcams.com but not very much or often because i used to live at home and i didnt get privacy, but now that i've moved out i want to do this more. i never had a problem getting my cam to stream... but lately its been impossible to get it to work..... :[
like when logging onto webcams.com and i hit start chat (i used to use the highest quality but i cant do that anymore, idk why) i use a lower quality with hopes it will work better, but it just says "buffering...... 33%" it never really goes further than that, and i keep waiting and then the browser just kind of ... freezes.
i tried loading it on explorer, firefox, and google chrome... same thing every time... what is going on thats so wrong, i will download and delete stuff if i have to if it'll make this work... :/
i have an excellent webcam, a logitech. a not so good computer, but its new, (like 1 year) hp mini... kinda sucky but it used to work just fine!
im also a model on streamate and... for a while that wasnt working but i updated my adobe shockwave and that did it, worked much better, :/ sadly ... no traffic..... not 1 person for an hour... wondering if i should just stick to webcams, but thats the one that doesnt work for me... ..........
*sigh
Re: new girl here, need advice getting my cam to stream
Unless they'be changed it - have you tried "high quality" chat on webcams? The "HQ" button?
Whenever I've tried low-quality it hiccups and the buffer freezes... like it knew I was lying about my computer speed and camera quality (maybe it did?.... D:). SD only worked if it couldn't detect my cam and it tried streaming from my laptop's built-in cam.
Maybe try out their HQ button instead of the HD or SD ones.
(disclaimer - if they revamp the model console recently this advice may not apply)
