Chaturbate Updates!​

Chaturbate is rolling out some exciting updates for our creator community.

We are going to post new updates here on ACF as they become available.

Stay tuned!

My FPS stays stable but my bitrate hasn't been a straight line in weeks. OBS drops and reconnects, chat disconnects and reconnects about 10 times a show.

I have fiber internet and everything else is good like tv and wifi on my phone.

In Firefox the page never stops loading ( the cb icon never appears in the tab, 2 blinking dots stay visible )

i found out that was a firefox add-no giving problems
disabled it and now it's fine

 

[Vixxen81]

Hey! I just learned you can restrict the DM bubble -- click the three dots and it gives three options.

 

[NotYou]

Ahhh thats where my chat bubble vanished. I am glad it's set to "show for new messages" by default, i prefer that.
Now I just wish you could drag and move the bubble and chat when it's there/open, that's be great to do.


Are there any other new released features we have missed yet? More still coming? This one is definitely one that is very helpful and a great addition

 

[Vixxen81]

There's a shield icon for the Chatursafe blocked message log on our chat window now. There's also a link to the Creator Portal next to our broadcast window on desktop.

I'm never on mobile, so don't know if any new stuff is live there.

Getting that a lot lately too. Internet speed test shows good upload and download speeds my end, so seems to be a server-side issue with certain rooms.

Holy fuck i thought is my internet!! FPS is perfect , bitrate is for lets say 1 min stable and then like a wave- 6500. 5500. 6500, 5400 and so on. Dang wow . This post is very helfpul. I was contacting my provider to investigate this problem

Interesting... I hate the ever-present chat bubble so much that I guess I tuned it out. After your post I had to go look and it wasn't there any more. After digging, I see that it is now set to 'show for new messages". I didn't change that setting so it must have been updated and changed by CB.

 

[rockin_rod]

I didn't change that setting so it must have been updated and changed by CB.

Me too, and I'm glad that they defaulted to that setting.
I suspect they've also made other changes to DMs behind the scenes, as I've had no further unsolicited messages for several weeks now.
Loving that.

Protip: changing in OBS tuning to zerolatency is a bit helping. Bitrate is still wavy but on higher amounts

One of my accounts was rolled into the new site look and feel and there's no way to sugarcoat it, but it's absolutely awful:

• A complete lack of colour contrast
• An emphasis on a search feature I've never needed nor used
• Loose visual groupings of components without any cohesion
• Absurdly wide margins on the left and right of the main content (increased from 24 left and right to 72 left and 102 right) which results in a smaller video player and narrower chat

I mentioned months ago that the new design suffered from what is called "chrome obesity" and that's still the case. It is a very cold, ultra modern UI which is absolutely the wrong direction to go for a site that needs to build and nurture human interactions to thrive. Anything friendly or whimsical or warm is gone and has not been replaced by anything that fosters a sense of comfort. It's like watching while having the video surrounded by an existential void.

To put it bluntly: the new look is literally a boner killer. If there wasn't a usability study done to determine the differences on viewer arousal watching using different site looks then someone didn't do their job.

Dark mode is, admittedly, a little better than light mode for colour contrast and feel, but I haven't used dark mode until this point.

CB: put back some of the friendliness and whimsy of the site because this is going in the wrong direction.

Mine was too, and I agree it is ugly. I really don't like the new message hub.

I find that currently it looks like an unfinished white label site. also what would people search for? I have never used a search bar on a camsite so I am not even sure what they are expecting people to type in to search for, is it like aesthetics , goals, country, tags? Personally I think the previous design was better.

The new design makes it seem like it's trying to be a minimalist deconstruction of a streaming site rather than an actual streaming site.

I do appreciate that they did remove some unnecessary navigation controls, e.g., the gender tabs when you're in a room, but there was no need to remove the main tab saying the name of the room. Maybe where the gender tabs were they should put the "More Rooms Like This" and "Share" tabs instead of burying those in the bio section. There's an easy synergy to map between "this room", "other rooms like this room", and "share this room" that makes for a natural grouping.

But stripping the UI down as they've done leaves the site feeling cold.

You should be emailing this to support or complaining about it in the dev section of the site or the creator portal if you have access to it.

i don't really dislike the look of the design

but there are just details that make it not work as good as the old design

- The left and right margins are too big.
- The document title, what you see in your tab, does not show the models name.
- If you click a link for the second time the page will not reload so you're always stuck on the same static page until you make a browser page reload ( i think this is the worst problem)
- Search option always finds results , even on "ggrddxcs" it will say 500 rooms found.
- Big thumbnails in search result ... why ..... you still get 500 rooms.

and also smaller details like

- It does not show my username directly on the page , only the first letter.
- no direct link to sign up as supporter.

 

[droopla]

edit .. too late

- The document title, what you see in your tab, does not - always- show the models name. (sometimes it does , sometimes it don't)

 

[2qas]

great update, but in spanish version you translated home as "hogar" thats wrong. Correct word for home in that matter its "inicio". I thought was 1 mistake but a lot of wrong translations. in simple word ypur spanish version sucks, thats awfull and shows a lack of interest for spanish. CB shpuld be more grateful with spanish speaking models, 20 years and still no spanish support ? CB has thpusands of latino models. Colombians must be at least 25% of CB income.

 

[ts_cammer98]

I finally got the new look today. It really didn't change much, but I like how it kind of matches the custom Cinnamon DE on my PC.

The username single letter is fine if a user have only one account. I have two accounts that start with the same letter and I have to keep clicking on the letter to reveal the full account name.
I want the account name visible at all times.

When on the "Following" screen where it shows my online followed rooms the little orange dot appears to hint that more rooms have come online.
So I click to see who has come on in the dropdown room list. I then click "Show All" to update the room list but the page does not update so this requires a page refresh to update.

The bigger side margins just waste space. Enough said about that.

One thing they removed from the old design was the setting to auto update the rooms list when browsing. It was something like 30 secs, 60 secs, 90 secs. Please bring that back. Many times I have been browsing a page then the whole thing updates with other rooms whilst I was half way down.

I noticed that the new look was introduced to one of my accounts about a week before the other one. Since both the old and new look were fully functioning at the same time would it be possible that a user could select which one that want to use?

I have been noticing this, too, but mostly when I use Firefox. Chrome is the recommended browser for CB and I haven't had problems when I use it even though I prefer Firefox.

Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection uses a very strict blocklist (based on Disconnect) to block anything it considers a tracker. The problem is that the list is aggressive, and many modern websites rely on third‑party scripts that look like trackers but are actually required for the site to function. So ETP ends up blocking things like third‑party JavaScript bundles, analytics scripts that double as login/session validators, CDN resources, embedded chat widgets, video player components, and cross‑site cookies needed for authentication. When those get blocked, the site doesn’t load correctly — missing UI, broken login, chat not loading, video flickering, etc. The reason it causes issues is because the blocklist is strict. It doesn’t just block ads — it blocks entire domains that host mixed content (tracking plus essential scripts). If a site pulls something important from a domain on that list, Firefox kills it. Chrome doesn’t block this stuff. Edge doesn’t block this stuff. Firefox does — silently. Simple solution is to turn off ETP and install a few extensions that do basically the same thing but with stricter settings instead of blocking entire domains. What you all see as glitchy is actually Firefox protecting you. God’s wing is not always there to shield us, we have to watch out for each other. Mozilla acts like a “watcher” in the sense that it stands outside the big‑tech corporate world and keeps an eye on the health of the open web. It’s a foundation, not a profit‑driven company, so its role is more like a guardian or overseer of user rights, privacy, and the open internet. Mozilla is a foundation. Google is a corporation. Microsoft is a corporation. Opera is a corporation. Hopefully everyone can see the difference in agendas.

I've been narrowly focused on the Trust & Safety filter and how well it is working to filter out the Snapchat and similar spam since this has been the top issue for many of the models and moderators I've talked to in the past few months.

I've been reviewing the audit logs from installed instances of my Chat Guard and Ad Blocker apps and in the past 8 or 9 days the number of messages they have had to filter out has dropped to nearly zero. I've also been testing messages that were previously not being filtered out by ChaturSafe and many of them are now being caught by it.

I'm pleased to say that what felt like an epidemic-level crisis to many app developers is now comfortably under control. Well done Chaturbate dev team!

This statement is categorically false. Filter apps are still among the most‑installed app types on the platform, second only to menus and goals.

Did something change with the algorithm? The TS section seems to have less active viewers as of 2026

I had a little bit of a surge in viewers actually, but this last few weeks I've been back to like my normal numbers (viewership-wise). Something defiantly changed but I've been noticing the opposite that your seeing.

Did CB make any other noticeable changes with this update? Other than a couple of tiny things and the interface nothing else has changed and they added nothing else?

The only changes I've noted are:

• Unsolicited DM's seem to be happening again.
• I'm now being offered trans models in my 'suggested for you'. I have never visited nor followed rooms in that category, so that was a surprise.
• It does not matter what device I use, nor which internet connection (home wired, wifi, Starlink), but the site runs incredibly slowly for me these past few weeks, and I often get a 'sorry you don't have any tokens' error when trying to send a tip; then a few seconds later CB realises I do have a token balance, and then I can proceed to tip.
