It would be nice to have threads for everyone that can't get into model's only to get information on how to cam on Streamate more effectively.
So here we are!

Try it once the stream is live.

I was having problems with it connecting the other day so I did the ol' turn my laptop off and turn it back on again and thankfully that worked.

I think it's a bit temperamental at times. But definitely worth the effort!
Are you on SM site? I just ask because I got a lush by Lovense toy and I tried to connect it to use it on the web site and it tells me they don’t support SM yet but maybe I’m doing something wrong. Can u maybe help me get this thing connected?

What's the deal with certain models having upside-down video? Doesn't happen in the thumbnail previews.

I have been trying to connect a lush by Lovense toy connected to SM but it says it’s not supposed by the web site. But I see other girls using them on the site. Am I doing something wrong, is this possible to use on the SM web site?

You connect from the Streamate model broadcaster. You need to have your Lush connected to the Lovense Connect app. Then when you open the model broadcaster, there is a QR code to scan.

As a new model to Streamate (roughly over 4 months), I have two specific questions:

1. I am curious as to what the exact requirements or calculations are to now qualify for gold shows? In the FAQ's of Streamate, the requirements are outlined but seem to be a bit vague in terms of "spending more time in paid chat". I have gone full-time with camming now and would like to know what I can do specifically to make this option available.

2. I understand Streamate does not allow models to give out their social media handles or share site names, whereas Camsoda does allow you to share your social media handles and website. However, is there anything against models asking members for their social media handles? I have had quite the amount of members ask me for my social media and site links and have had to decline to provide them that info.

If anyone has any recommendations or know of any exact specifications, that would be really helpful!
With Streamate you have to have a 5 star rating and to have been have on the site a couple weeks to have the Gold Show option.

Hello all, I have some questions about Gold Shows on SM if snyone doesn't mind answering?
- Are they worth it in your opinion?
- What prices and duration is recommended?
-Can I just rock out to a song I like and get naked as a Gold Show?!
-Can I actually describe the Gold Show as me rocking out to music/a particular song....or keep it generic 'Me rocking out and stripping to music'?
- Is music allowed to be played during a Gold Show?

Thanks so much!
I have been avoiding Gold Shows as I don't like the idea of waiting or not knowing if I would meet the amount stipulated. I have a friend who loves them however, but she is an absolute bombshell and a very confident woman, and well, I am a more insecure geeky and introverted type! I feel perhaps the 'pressure' of the Gold Show would just not work well with my disposition.

Perhaps I am missing out?
Or maybe I should just leave them be?
Thanks so much in advance x

New and confused - have any of you used an LLC or business name to claim your wages with? I am still waiting for my LLC company documents to be accepted and I am afraid to stream until i get my payment method approved which is held up because of this. Help me please!

i love gold shows. i see them as a great way to get new members into taking you to private who were hesitant on paying for the per-minute rate or regulars who will only join into your goldshows because it's more in their budget. i start all my gold shows, because i've noticed members are more hesitant to join in if they feel like the show isn't going to happen. some of them think they will be charged not knowing that they wont be if the show is a bust. if its slow, i can usually get it between $50-$75. the lowest i've started was around $20. there are times where i play the "oh my god it won't start" and let it auto fail because i knew i could of gotten higher on a second try.

i dont listen to any requests. if a member has a request, they can take me to exclusive instead. sometimes i will tell everyone in my chat to shut the fuck up and let me cum if a lot are being too demandy with their $5 during my goldshow. if a member wants their name moaned, they need to tip like $50 and be the highest. i've noticed it may deter others from tipping in if i'm moaning the highest tipper's name, so I need to make it worth my while.

you can do whatever you want in your goldshow. i set goals. anything under $100 i will tease and use my hitachi. under $200, i will use my small glass toy. make it goal, i'll pull out the works. i'm known for my deepthroat and big booty, so i make my audience work for it if that is what they want to see. will also use a larger toy. i do 7 minutes. because when if i make goal, i'll usually feel rushed if the time is lower. gives me enough time to tease and build up. also less work on your body. you can literally do anything you want in your shows. i've done goldshows where i have the description set "watch me sit pretty and do nothing" for my subby audience. or set it to "whatever the fuck i feel like doing, because this is my show, not yours." yes music is allowed. i always play copyrighted music because if my show gets reposted on a tube site, the music im playing will more than likely get that video dmca'd.

if you are afraid of having guaranteed gold shows, start your shows at $50. that's $17.50 in your pocket. if you charge 4.99 for privates that's what you would get for a 10 minute private. do three $50 in an hour, you'll make over $50. i do $5 buy-ins with a 13-minute counter to get enough people to join in. if people complain about the wait, i tell them its my fetish to make them wait and struggle with that boner.

i'm pretty geeky and awkward, and wouldn't consider myself a bombshell by a mile. but i still can successfully do goldshows. it took a lot of work to figure out what works for me with goldshows, but now, they are my bread n' butter. there are times i've done maybe four goldshows during a shift and make most of my earnings that night.

i dont ever cancel goldshows if someone asks because i could potentially make more in that show than i can with their private. in the past there were too many times where i've canceled a goldshow only for that person who asked me to bounce or only take me for a couple of minutes. kicking myself i could have made more if i stuck to that goldshow, even if it hit less than $50. i think some members enjoy sabotaging and are just trolling.

if you ever see me online and doing a goldshow, watch what i do. i'm not trying to be full of myself, but i like to believe im pretty good at working my chat. been told by other models they've learned a lot by watching me. i dont ever get butthurt if a model does what i do, because i picked up my hustling moves by watching others and reading what they do on forums.

Thank you for this; this is freaking awesome! I appreciate the detail and honesty so much. I haven't beeN on SM for two weeks at the moment due to personal issues getting in the way, but when I do, I am going to give gold shows a go. And do you know, I have never watched another cam girl before, or been in their room, despite being one for 18 months. I have never checked out anyone's profile on SM either lol. It has just never occured to me to do this. I will try to work out how to do this so I can stop by sometime and pick up some much needed pointers, tips etc. Thank you again for this post!

I would take advantage of this situation to request SM the Tag "Pornstar", the Pornstars are always busy on SM :p
I know this is just a joke, but what are actually the requirements to be listed as pornstar. I have a bunch of videos on pornhub and xhamster. Do I need to be get to a certain rank on these sites, or is it only for women who have been in studio produced movies?

You need to be ranked as Porn Star in websites like freeones.com where you need to have at least 3 verified movies (not videos). If you can show that to us and we can validate it, you can have the Porn Star status on our site.

Hi. I have another question. I'm uploading photos and videos to the site and I can't figure out how to make them private. Some of them I want to be only for my fan clubs. For photos I don't even see an option for fan clubs. Also, when my uploads are approved do they just sit in public until I realize they're approved and add them to my fan club? Or is there a way to upload them unpublished? Thanks

Ah, that's an excellent example of how the new Media Manager should be improved for the future and I would recommend that you let SMSupport know too! Right now, the Fan Clubs and the Media Manager aren't really linked together in an efficient way.

First in the Media Manager, you have to select "Mark as private (cannot be purchased in store)" in the Visibility section of the individual clip, so that it will not show up in your public store.
I'm not sure if clips have to be re-approved again if they've already been posted on your public store and you're just switching back to private. But if they're brand new clips, you'll need to wait for them to be approved anyways.

Once they're approved, you'll go into the Fan Clubs section directly. Click on the icon that looks like a pen to edit the desired plan, and choose the "add/view videos" link to add the private videos. They'll be grouped together at the bottom of the page, below all of your For-sale clips. And there's an option to select all of them, or you can select them individually.

Thank you for that detailed explanation. I agree that the process could be improved and I will contact them.

EDIT: and I just went to mark the visibility of the content I already had uploaded and approved but my gallery is empty. Problem solved? lol Oh streamate......

im not sure if it does or doesn't but pornhub's network does have streamate whitelabels and an overall very good affiliate program. they also do priority placing if a member matches the same region as you. so if a member is from the EU, he will see mostly EU models in the placement.

i am camming solely on sm. i used to split my time between them and other sites or broadcast simultaneously when i was new. with streamate it's against the rules split stream, so i would use two separate webcams. the reason i don't anymore is that i earned a lot more in comparison. so i devote most of my time to streamate while still side hustling here and there on onlyfans.
Audri is right. I've also cammed on other sites, but always make more on Streamate. AND feel better about my cam day when logging off of Streamate. Sure my token sites can be more carefree & fun, but it's all about the $$ when you log off.
Also, I highly suggest getting a Pornhub account, get verified there (& if you like to, join their model program.) Connect PH to SM (ask support/they sent an email detailing this a few months ago)
I get a lot of Streamate traffic from my Pornhub. When those members signed into PH find my live SM cam on PH, they show up as cammodel link. more $$ for me.
Pornhub & Streamate work really well together
I'm considering Streamate as my ONLY camsite when I start camming again.

Check if the toy is fully charged, make sure it's paired to your mobile through the Lovense Connect App, make sure the internet network is the same on both devices (mobile and computer), otherwise they will not pair (IP and network have to match).
Try a full reset and try to pair it again. Here are also the steps for how to pair the toy: https://streamatehelp.com/interactive-vibes/

I bought a Lovense toy to connect to SM and it says on the front of Lovense website they connect with them but now it’s showing they don’t. What toys do connect to SM so I can buy one of them?
I haven’t had any success with my WeVibe toys and feelconnect on streamate. This is one area streamate needs to improve.

By success do you refer to not being able to pair the toy, or not getting much engagement from your viewers while using it?

I mean I am unable to pair the toy(s) with my laptop and FeelConnect. WeVibe toys have an app called WeConnect that works on my phone but I cannot get FeelConnect to work with the toys on my laptop. I appreciate your support because I have 4 WeVibe toys that I would love to be able to offer viewers a chance to interact with. WeConnect provides access with a text code and I don’t want to use that as I believe it would be violating streamate TOC because I would have to provide a direct link. I truly appreciate your support for helping with WeVibe toys connection through a PC

I'm about to upload a new video, and it asks to put on the name of the performer appairing in it (me), though it shows my real name. Is it just for the staff or will it be shown for the public as well?

I was disappointed to see that no pets ever ever are allowed on cam. Will SM get mad when there is excessive yowling in the background as I shut my cats out of the bedroom and they make sounds as if someone is disemboweling them? This is my primary concern because I am a crazy crazy cat lady.
Just the other day camming my cat was howling to come in my room and the customer said “you better get your baby is crying” I guess it sounded like a child more than a cat. But he somehow took sympathy on me being a “single mom” and oddly tipped well.
