    Default Streamates new features :)

    sTREAMATE RELEASED THEIR NEW VIDEO CHAT FEATURES! I AM ENJOYING IT SO FAR, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION THAT REMAINS UNANSWERED IN THEIR TOPICS AND BY CUSTOMER SUPPORT....

    ABOVE THE CAM SCREEN THERE IS YOUR SETTINGS TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR CAM QUALITY...HD, DSL, ENCODER, ETC...THEN NEXT TO THAT THERE IS AN OPTION FOR EXTERNAL SHOW..AND YOU CAN TURN IT ON OR OFF....

    DOES THIS MEAN WHAT I THINK IT DOES, THAT WE CAN SWITCH TO PAID CHAT/PRIVATE CHAT ONLY MODE AND ACCEPT PAYING GUESTS ONLY? I AM HOPING THAT IS WHAT EXTERNAL SHOW MEANS, WHEN YOU TURN IT ON YOU CAN ACCEPT PAID GUESTS ONLY, OFF AND IT RETURNS YOU TO FREE CHAT. I AM NOT 100% CERTAIN, THOUGH. CAN ANYONE CLARIFY THIS FOR ME?

    IF THIS IS TO ALLOW US TO ACCEPT PAID CLIENTS ONLY IN PVT MODE...I AM SUPER STOKED!

    From what I understand the external show (not the same as external encoder) is for hosts who put the streamate code into their websites.

    It's used for doing an XXX show for their website members, and if you have it running, nobody can take you private on Streamate, but Streamate members can join the show in progress and pay group rates.

    I don't see the thing about external show...under settings it just shows "video settings" (quality) and "user settings" (hide/show user message alerts). Where are you all finding the external show?

    I thought I selected all the correct settings this am, but I was confused as to why I wasn't getting any exclusive chats when I had several guests request them. So I switched back to the old streaming window and got some exclusives...Or maybe I'm just imagining that exclusive wasn't working in the new interface.

    Yeah it's designed to be used for members shows on your personal membership website. I can't understand why they are giving it to everyone and not explaining that it's for when you have a members show on your webiste in progress. Strange.

    My bad..I just went back and looked ...I knew it was external something....but mine doesn't say "external show" (I edited my entry while you were replying) So I"m really confused now.

    hmmmm it just doesnt seem right that they would have it available for everyone then...I believe this is a way for us to shut off our free chat rooms..I guess we wont know for sure unless support responds

    Well I had thought they were only giving it to those who asked for the code to place the video stream on their members websites, so I'm not sure why others are finding it there?

    Huh???

    Can I ask where you are getting this info? I see the same options we had before.... the only one that says "external" anything is "external encoder", which is what you use when you are using the Adobe encoder to stream in HD.

    Can you tell me more about this 'personal website' business?

    When you have a website where you do member's only shows you can transmit a show directly from your Streamate room. when you click External Show then nobody on streamate can join except as a group show to see the show in progress. You have to contact streamate to get the code for your site and have them enable the External Show button (or at least that's how it was in the past). Nobody on Streamate can take you private during your members show.

    And people coming in to your free chat room in SM see that screen that says, "I'm in group chat" so they have to pay to join group chat to see you.

    I have it enabled in my paid, subscription-based website. I wrote SM, they sent me a code. I put that code in my site and now members on my site can see my SM shows from that specific cam for free but ONLY when I have the "external show" enabled. Laurie is right about everything she's said. Good insight!

    Ok, thanks...that clears it up then. I was worried that I was doing something wrong, but since I don't have my own website, no worries. I guess it's a nice feature to have for those of you that do.

    it totally crashes my internet explorer - though working fine in firefox
    I think there is a new 'take a break' feature? logged on briefly last night and think I saw it but didn't get chance to try. If it is then this is wonderful for me cos I hate having to log out of encoder and back in every time I want a break!

    It gives you a 10 min break. If you don't restart within 10 minutes it will log you out.

    I don't really care for it. I don't work with sound and with old layout I show up in a search for models with sound. Most of the guys that come asking for sound end up going pvt even when I tell them I don't have it. With the new one I don't show up in that search so my traffic slows down. A little sneaky but oh well. Lol.

    I didn't see the "take a break feature" when I was working today, but I used the newer streaming window instead of switching back to the old.

    I can't complain....I worked 10 hours this week and made $501. I'm going to rest my junk & take a few days off. It used to take me 2 weeks, 15-20 hours to make that much on IMLIVE. I did have to block a few pests and it was a bit slower this afternoon ($40/hour instead of $50/hour) but that still made my day....I should have signed up with streamate years ago!

    do any of you all ever get other models coming in your room? I had one jump in my room (I assumed it was a model trying to advertise for herself because of what she was saying)...I blocked whomever it was. I don't need other gals playing dirty and trying to steal my guests. I don't even have the time or the desire to go chatting with other models when I'm working.

    well, 99% of the guys cannot read what others are saying in the chat, so if she was playing dirty, she was just wasting time lol...

    About this new Streamate feature... nah, i'll pass, gets my computer so slow! i lost few block sessions trying to click on them and my comp kept freezing... im switching to the old one.

    You know...I did notice it was lagging a bit more that when using the old window. I honestly think that both are good, but I'll use the old one if things run smoother.
