How Live Cams Work
Starting a Stream
Click "Go Live" to open the streaming panel. Set your room title, per-minute rate (in credits), and category. Choose between public (anyone can watch) or private (invite-only). Once you click Go Live, your camera and microphone activate and fans can find your room in the browse view.
Credits and Billing
Cam rooms use the credit system (1 credit = $1). You set your per-minute rate and fans are billed by the minute while watching. Tips are separate -- fans can tip any amount at any time during your stream. The platform takes 15% of all cam revenue (credits and tips). Your earnings appear in Financial Hub in real-time.
Group vs Private Shows
Group shows are open to all viewers at your per-minute rate. Private shows are one-on-one -- a fan requests a private show, you accept, and the rate is typically higher. You set separate pricing for group and private in your stream settings.
Tips During Streams
Fans can tip any amount during your stream. Tips are instant and show in the chat feed. You can set up tip goals ("100 credits for a special show") and tip menus ("50 credits = song request, 100 credits = outfit change"). All tips are separate from the per-minute billing.
Auto-Save
All streams are automatically saved when they end. There is no discard option -- every stream is permanently preserved with its title, date, duration, peak viewer count, credits earned, tips received, and the complete chat history. You can replay or share saved streams from your Cam archive.
Chat
Each stream has a live chat. Viewers can send text messages, tips, and emote reactions. You can moderate chat (mute or ban users). The chat history is saved along with the stream recording. Use the Pop Out button to open chat in a separate window for easier management while streaming.
Scheduling Shows
Cam rooms require Stripe to be connected for credit billing. Use the Schedule button to announce upcoming shows. Set a date, time, title, and description. Scheduled shows appear in the browse view and on your profile so fans know when to come back. If you have Twitch connected, your schedule syncs there too.
