Are your Offline Private Show (OPS) Notifications on?

Never miss a private show request, even when you’re offline or away from your computer. With Offline Private Show (OPS) notifications, your viewers can make private show requests and view your schedule at any time!

This guide will help you get started with ‘Offline Private Shows’ (OPS) and setting up your notifications. By leveraging these powerful CAM4 features, you can keep your audience continuously engaged and build lasting relationships- even outside of your regular online shows.

What are the Benefits of using OPS Notifications?

Notification Preferences – Personalize your alerts and select the channels where they’ll be delivered in real-time. 

Customized Pricing – Set your desired Private Show pricing with the ability to allow Cam2Cam and Spying. 

Improved Schedule Visibility – Make your Private Show schedule and availability visible to your fans… it’s super easy to configure and is shown right on your profile- Set up to 3 different time slots.

How do I find the OPS settings?
Once logged into your CAM4 account, click the MENU icon in the top right corner, scroll down to Performer Dashboard, and choose Private Show Settings.

IMPORTANT: The first thing to note is that the OPS Notifications function is defaulted to OFF, therefore as a creator you will need to activate this in your settings by sliding to ON.

Check out our video below for a walkthrough on how to enable this feature.

Token Indicators

More insight in what your viewer might spend 
As a Broadcaster on CAM4, it’s always good to keep track of your tippers spending behavior to prioritize your attention during a live show. Get ready to see just how big of a spender your viewers may be with the brand new Token Indicator. Conveniently integrated within your CAM4 chat, this tool now allows you to identify viewers tipping habits !


Viewers in your chat will be indicated by color coded usernames representing 5 different token tiers alongside their corresponding viewer type (Gold Member, Fanclub Subscriber, Moderator) showing you what they have spent in tokens over the last 2 weeks

 

TIER 1: WHITE = Has not spent any tokens in the past 2 weeks

TIER 2: BLUE = Has spent at least 1 token but not more than 19 in the past 2 weeks

TIER 3: PURPLE = Has spent at least 20 tokens but not more than 99 in the past 2 weeks

TIER 4: YELLOW = Has spent at least 100 tokens but not more than 500 in the past 2 weeks

TIER 5: ORANGE = Has spent at least 500 tokens in the past 2 weeks

THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL SEE…

 


Whether they are blue, purple, yellow, or orange, be sure to show them some extra love and attention while visiting your room. You never know when a regular viewer may become your next big tipper !!!
