The Discord Thread
This is not a thread about our SW/CC chat group on Discord - this is about using it as your cam girl persona to interact with your custies.
Discord just started the beta rollout of it's new video chat feature https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en...ng-Video-Calls. Supposedly 20% of users (not including me) now have access. There are a lot of articles and reddit threads with people rejoicing that there is finally a good Skype alternative, and in some cases celebrating that they'll now be uninstalling Skype. We don't really know how good it's going to be or if the servers will hold up to heavy use, but testers seem to like it, and Skype isn't perfect most of the time anyway.
In reality, this is the only app I've come across that could adequately replace Skype for camming purposes, and I think I've searched pretty hard. Discord retains some of the features that Skype used to have - for example mobile Skype users can't see your online/offline status anymore, and Microsoft is increasingly interested in tying your Skype in with the rest of your computer system. Discord also has additional features, such as the ability to have your very own chat room (text or voice only). They are cool with NSFW content (Edit: Pornographic content is not permitted per the TOS, but that's also true for Skype. Discord does explicitly allow "NSFW" content in general, but they're ambiguous about what that might include). Now my mind is spinning with ways to use this tool, and whether it's a good idea.
Discord is heavily populated with gamers, who are sometimes good custies, but can also be notoriously cheap and/or trollish. Would you ladies recommend catering to the Discord types?
If so, do/would you have your own chat server (aka chat room)?
What would you do with it? I can see it working like a cross between Twitter/Insta to post pics/updates and get comments/DMs, and a group Skype chat for arranging shows. Note that the video chat only works in 1on1 or small groups, so it can't fully replace a video-based cam room. It would be awesome if you could embed your Discord server onto your personal website, but that doesn't seem to be a thing.
Other thoughts?

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
Thats honestly the first thing i thought of when i saw they were beta testing video service - making a chat room for myself and using it for indie camming.

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
Lol, I thought this was about discord, like literally

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
Fascinating :D
My friends have been trying to get me on Discord... guess now I will actually do it lol
Gamer guys can be great customers, I don't think I've had problems with that group any more than others. Nerds are my bread and butter lol

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
When I was a baby pervert on the BDSM scene in 1999, there was a US pro domme who had her own forum and nightly chat. It was a kind of shared role-play space set in a kinky medieval castle, where people had dom and sub characters. The domme herself didn't turn up in the chat every night, but there were usually enough people there to have a role-play of some kind going on. It was all totally free, but you better believe the lady herself sold r/l session and phone bookings like hot cakes off the back of it.
In an ideal world where my health holds up, if I had a chatroom I could control, that's where I would go with it - community building, over a timeline of months. Discord unavoidably shows the names of everyone on the server to everyone else, so I'd leverage that to rope in people who *want* to know other people like them. Selling 1-to-1 video chat would be a nicely added bonus.

This sounds awesome, to be honest. What an amazing platform for Indie camming! Now I wanna try to see if I can convert it into something for text-only/text-based. Or voice/text. *rubs hands together* We shall see, ladies. We shall see.

Are you sure that they are cool with NSFW? I just took a quick look at Discord's TOS
"As an example, you agree not to use the Service in order to:
post, upload, transmit or otherwise disseminate information that is obscene, indecent, vulgar, pornographic, sexual or otherwise objectionable as outlined in our Community Guidelines'
It is possible that they don't really enforce the guidelines but they don't seem to approve of it either.

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
That's a good question. Their "community guidelines" say nothing at all about pornographic or sexual material, and there's an entire article about NSFW channels and how to label them as NSFW/18+. I had started reading the TOS, but I think I saw a section about virtual currencies and got distracted.
To be fair, the Skype TOS includes: "Content of Communications:... In particular, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not submit material that is... (iii) offensive, unlawful, harmful to minors, obscene, defamatory, libellous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or that encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability, violates any law, or is otherwise objectionable; (iv) an advertisement or solicitation of business;"

Oh, I completely agree that pornographic is against Skype's TOS too. I just wanted to bring up the possibility that girls could be operating within a grey area. I am as fascinated as everyone else at how this might be a game changer. :)

i put my discord server link on my CB profile and im getting ads

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
They rolled out to another 10% of users last night (which makes 30% total), and I still didn't get it. *pout* Anyone else have it?
@Snowy How do you like having a server? Do you find it useful? Do guys interact with each other? Anything interesting happen when you aren't there?

Not right now ppl are joining into it but not talking to each other and ive said hi but its not picking up.

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
Bumpy-bump. I saw a phone girl I slightly know on Twitter talk about using Discord for voice calls, so apparently it wouldn't be an awful idea to investigate it.
Did you ever make a decision on this, MH?

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
I still haven't been selected by the RNG gods to receive the video chat option. However, a friend of mine (who 2 months ago had no idea what Discord was) has received the blessing, and we video chatted a few times to test. It works just as well as Skype, if not better. This is a friend I regularly talk with on Skype because she moved abroad, so I'm pretty familiar with the quality of our Skype connection.
I did make myself a Discord account in my cam name and posted it on my website as "coming soon." I haven't figured out what to do with a whole server, but at this point, it wouldn't make sense to send guys there if I can't even do Discord shows yet.

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
Discord video chat is available for all people now. I did two camshows before I realized my account was connected to my husbands. I need to figure this out because two of his gamer buddies tried to connect with me. But anywho it works! :)

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
OK, clearly it's time for me to learn to use this beast properly. Is there an obvious way to be on different servers under different names?
Or should I stop being a slothful Sloth and start a separate account for my work persona?

You can have different nicknames for different severs with the same account

You can have them appear as different names on different servers, but people can see that they are the same account if they are paying attention, so make two different accounts if you don't want the to "cross-pollinate" at all.
I'm going to send you more details on Discord, bb!

Re: Discord - Could it be a good camming tool? How do/would you use it?
My husband uses discord to chat with people while playing star wars and it's pretty cool to use. Only downside I would say is that if you download discord on your phone you get notifications for every server and it can be quite annoying.

Gamer Live Streams: Discord and Live.me, Another form of client converting?
So I haven't seen this talked about as much, unless I'm using the search engine wrong lol. And forgive me if I seem green, but I was on Twitter (Femdom side) and even some of my heaux groups on Facebook and I heard some girls talking about using sites or streaming apps such as Discord and Live.Me to attract gaming custys to buy shows from them and convert them into potential Clients whether it's vanilla or fetish. I used to use Peeks (I was doing vanilla at the time) and it generated a good bit of side cash for me each month. But recently there's been some backlash on it because they were going through a hassle with their payment processor for about a month and girls weren't receiving their money... (If any of y'all used Peeks you know what I'm talking about) Overall Peeks was nice didn't have to wait for certain times of the month to cash out - just hit the minimum and BAM. Now back to my main point - I know it's a great way to get new spenders because they're gammers so you already know they've invested $$$ into their hobbies from subscriptions to gaming systems. Do any of y'all have any experience with this? I'm a Domme and do fetish work and I'm interested in doing a little teaser show to see if I can convert some potential clients and do some Skype shows or do custom clips, and to follow my social media. Even though - in the ToS we aren't allowed to do anything sexual during the stream which is a downfall, but the platform gives us exposure to lead them to us. So what do you think? Sound like a plan or what? ;D
& Live.me is apart of Twitch.Tv

Is it possible to use discord for cam shows yet and is anyone using it for shows yet as an alternative to skype?

I am! Checkout Discord, The New Skype Alternative For Cammodels I wish all of my customers would switch over to Discord. However you may run into some issues when trying to maximize on it's full potential if you aren't using an I7 processor.

The Discord Thread
Starting this off with a question, how do I make the cam pictures on Discord equally sized split-screens? I did it once during a show by mistake, loved it and now cannot figure out how to do it again.

Click on the screen, like when you're camming and you see them full size click (it might be double click) on that upper screen area and it'll switch between them full size, you full size, 50/50, etc.
