Streaming 2.0 Troubleshooting

Can’t see or use your camera and microphone set up in CAM4

Streaming 2.0?

Please make sure that you are logged into Cam4 and can access
Streaming 2.0 tab in the Broadcast window

I get a message that my camera or microphone is disabled / No camera or microphone appears on my CAM4 Streaming 2.0 broadcast page.

  • The camera and/or microphone are disabled in your browser. Please
    enable them by clicking the “Allow” button near the address/URL bar to allow cam access for the site – Select Continue allowing / Allow -> Done – and then refresh the page.
Allowing access to Cam and mic

or from browser settings

Please note: This may require a browser restart rather than just a page refresh as other tabs or browser windows may interfere with the change

Your camera and/or your microphone could be in use by another app. In many cases, your browser might not be able to access them directly if they are already in use. To fix this please close any other tabs/browsers or applications that are currently using your camera
( Tip: your camera in use indicator is lit before reaching the CAM4 website it generally indicates something else is using your cam.)

 

Problems streaming on more than one platform.

You may experience issues trying to broadcast on multiple platforms while using streaming 2.0.  If this is an issue you will need to create a virtual cam while only using one physical cam. The most common option would be to use the combination of OBS + OBs browser plugin. This will give you an additional cam in the dropdown list of an OBS virtual cam

    1. Install OBS Studio. It can be downloaded here, instructions for auto-configuration can be found here
    2. Install OBS Virtual cam based on your platform. WindowsMacLinuxPlease note for Windows this will require a system restart to complete the installation.
    3. Open OBS Studio
      • Select Tools / VirtualCam in the main OBS Studio window
      • Press the Start button, then close the dialog
      • Open your browser and choose OBS-Camera as your webcam.
      • You don’t need to press Start Streaming in OBS, but you need to have the proper settings for sources in OBS ( Camera and Microphone)
      • Start Streaming on CAM4 using Streaming 2.0 or External Encoder tab.

Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)

  9. Base (Canvas) Resolution select: Use Current

  2. Click > Next
  3. Stream Type: Streaming Services
  4. Service: Cam4 (show all if Cam4 is not listed)
  5. Stream Key: (clear if populated; paste key previously copied from your Cam4 broadcast window)

  7. Prefer Hardware Encoding (if an option): UNCHECKED
  8. Click > Next

Auto Pause after a Private or Group Show

Auto-Pause is designed to give you time to prepare to be in front of your regular viewers again after your Private or Group show ends.

Go grab some food or something to drink, clean up, use the washroom, or change your outfit. You have 5 minutes to do whatever you need to do before going live on cam for your viewers again.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Start your Private or Group show as you normally would.  At the end of the show, your stream will pause for a maximum of 5 minutes .

What YOU will see:


What your VIEWERS will see:

The stream is resumable at any time by clicking on the “Resume Stream” button. 

If you do not resume the stream during the first 5 minutes, the stream ends automatically. 

Private Show requests are not available while your show is paused.

BOOST: The Ultimate Way to Grow your Audience

 

 

 

 

 

Struggling to build an audience? Just logged on and want to kickstart your show?

Now you can BOOST your room higher in the directory for just 25 tokens!

CAM4 has put YOU in the drives seat, giving YOU the ability to increasing your rank on the page so you  will get more viewers in your show!

How it Works:  

BOOST will display on your screen once you start a LIVE broadcast and is visible to you and your viewers.

This feature (once purchased) will  position you within the top percent of cams currently on the site for the duration of the BOOST.

Click on the “BOOST” button to start the feature.

It costs 25 tokens to BOOST your cam for 5 minutes, or until you have gained 10 new viewers in your room (to a max of 30 mins).

When you click on “Proceed” the cost of the BOOST will be deducted from your CAM4 account and your cam will be re-positioned on the directory page. 

What Happens when BOOST starts?

  1. You will see a message in your chat letting you know who purchased the boost.
  2. There is a bar on your broadcast window that will slowly fill up as the time runs out. 
  3. The BOOST button is now inactive, this mean you cannot click on it. The text has also changed to read” Boost Active” and includes a count down. 

PRO TIP
When your boost is active, more people will be seeing your thumbnail. This is your moment to try to attract more viewers to your show! Switch it up with an alluring pose, a sexy strip tease, wet t-shirt show, or closeups. Anything you can do to attract the attention of the new audience you now have access to.

What Happens When the BOOST ends?

  1. The button will say “Boost” again become active enabling you to click on it again.
  2. You will see a message in the chat window that will tell you that the BOOST has ended and display how many viewers you gained during that BOOST.
  3. Your directory position will change, but not necessarily back to your original position – because your new position will reflect increases in your viewers due to the boost.

Viewers can BOOST you too!!

Viewers are always looking for ways to  support of their favorite broadcasters. Why not encourage them to use the Boost feature on you?  With their help, boosting can really make a difference in your performance and exposure on CAM4.
