    Default Clearly I'm a n00b

    I spent about an hour and a half with no privates on streamate...then suddenly a little box popped up saying 'so and so is requestion a cam to cam session with you if you don't accept in 6 seconds it will commence' or something and I thought he was just requesting me to view his cam not in a private or exclusive so I said 'I'll view your cam in exclusive hun!' and then the private or exclusive or whatever it was started and i just ASSUMED something had gone wrong and i was viewing his cam for free so freaked out and clicked 'end my show'

    Then I saw that the box read 'paying guest 1' doh doh doh.

    But how do you tell whether its a private or an exclusive?? I will only view cams in exclusive.

    I'm not used to this site after AW!

    Sorry for being an absoloute n00b. I feel embarrassed even writing this.

    I'm such a tard.

    When it is an exclusive there is a box for you to click okay to before you start.

    When it is a private/premium the show just starts without you having to click anything to start it.

    Don't feel bad, pussycat! I was totally confused by when I was even WITH a paying customer or not when I started SM. There is such a big learning curve there with very little documentation. If it wasn't for this forum I probably would of never figured it out.

    Yeah, don't feel bad. ImLive has something where after x seconds of not responding to a private show request, it automatically puts you in the private show. I think it just does it for block time shows, or something? I'm not sure, but it's new to me since my account on there was recently reactivated.

    Maybe THAT's what ImLive is doing now. When I cammed on there before, ImLive didn't have that. So it's something I had to get used to when I reopened my host account.

    I know if it weren't for those little alert noises, I would've been lost too when I first started on SM. The first private I ever got I freaked out and shut my computer off. LMAO

    Don't feel bad! It can be really confusing....

    I don't think that it is even possible to view someone's cam unless they are in a private show, so I wouldn't worry about doing that for free. (Can anyone else confirm this??).

    The way that you can tell is by which area of the screen the customer's name pops up. I'm going to try and describe this clearly, but bear with me...I'm a little hungover and the coffee hasn't hit yet!!! When you are in free chat, you have a little box/window on the right of your screen where conversation comes up and you can see people coming and going. On the right hand side of this window is a list of the people that are in your room at the time. When someone goes private, you will automatically move into a second window that looks like the free chat window, but that is above it. (It also has a red banner at the top,. and you will hear a little "bing" sound). When you leave the private, you will be automatically shunted back into the free chat window. Exclusive is the same, except that instead of being automatic, you have the option to accept or decline the exclusive session - a little pop-up will appear asking if you want to start the session.

    When you are in private or exclusive and a guy wants you to view his cam, another little pop-up will appear with a picture of a webcam and two buttons to accept or reject the cam. It will say something like "bigdick5433 wants you to view his cam. Click to accept" and you can choose to accept or not. If you accept, you will get a little inset window where you can see your feed.

    Hope that helps, and made some sense. Must. Drink. Coffee. Now.
