How to use My Shop Sale

Use our My Shop Sale tool to set discounted prices on your content!

Go to the “Broadcaster Dashboard” and click on “My Shop”.

You will see three dots on the blue bar for each video you have uploaded. 

Click on “Item Sale”


By clicking on “Item Sale” you have the options to:

  1. Set Duration of the sale 
  2. The new discounted price for viewers. The discounted price needs to be lower than the initial one.
  3. The new discounted price for Fans. The discounted price needs to be lower than the initial one.
  4. Start the sale


When a sale is set on a My shop item you will see it like below in your My Shop Area in Broadcaster Dashboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you re-enter the Item Sale option on a video that has a Sale set on it, you will see all the info added for that sale and know exactly when the sale will end. You will also have the option to end the sale at any time.

The discounted price can’t be changed during a Sale. You will need to  End that sale and create a new one if you wish to change the price.

If you choose to end the sale manually, you will receive a “Are you sure” message to confirm that this is what you want to do.

How To Handle Tips & PM’s In Chat

Being successful in Public Chat is more than just getting naked, its about knowing how to react to your chatroom and what to do when you get tipped. Staying calm and making these small changes to your show will make a BIG difference!


1. Don’t Let TIPS Stop You…

Don’t send a PM to every viewer who sends you a tip! If you are in the middle of your show and someone tips you its because they like what you are doing! If you stop what you are doing to send them a PM, you will train your room to not tip you because you stop the action they are tipping you for.


2. Stay Cool And Tease.

When someone sends you a tip its nice to say thank you, but don’t rip all your clothes off and get too excited, make them work for it a bit and TEASE! Its also important to NOT jump all over your tippers when they com into your room. Jumping on your whales when they come in the room (or someone who contributed a lot to your last show) can alert others to the fact that that a generous viewer came in the room and could make them rely on this viewer to tip you. This can make generous viewers feel awkward and can open them up to messages from others asking for tips. Just stay cool and the tips will come.


3. Less Typing Means More Touching.

Keep your chatroom alive by making everyone chat with you in your public chat. It is VERY boring to watch you type during your show and having a bunch of private conversations kills the show an the chat. When they all ask to PM you simply say “Talk to me in here! If my hands are busy I can’t do a show!”

How to Use Lightstream Studio

Here at CAM4, we’re proud to welcome a new feature that will forever benefit performers and their streaming quality – Lightstream Studio! 

Lightstream Studio is a web-based broadcast studio that will give our performers the tools they need to create their most fun, or craziest, live shows! Lightstream Studio is similar to tools such as Split and OBS, but performers don’t need to download and install any software to use it! 

Features for Lightstream Studio include:

  • The ability to combine multiple cams into a single stream
  • Add graphic overlays into your videos
  • Pre-recorded video playback for review
  • 3rd party plugins are allowed

Performers on CAM4 will have to create an account on Lightstream Studio before they can use the feature on CAM4. 

NOTE: The only way you can create an account on Lightstream Studios is to link it to an existing FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TWITCH OR MIXER account. Once you’re linked on Lightstream Studios, you can disable broadcasting on any of these platforms. Performers who want to stay anonymous are recommended to create a new YouTube or Twitch account to sign up.

Tipping Games

Tipping games are a great way to start a show, get to know your audience, and (of course) have a lot of fun!

Token Keno

Broadcaster View

You have up to 12 spots on your game board where you list actions or prizes and set the desired token cost for each.

Games you can play with Token Keno:

Bonus Games you can play with Token Keno

Battleship!

Use Token Keno to play this game! It is very similar to the classic board game version. Viewers tip to try and sink your battleship and win prizes!

Using all 12 spots, hide a few ships in your board but keep the token prices for all your squares totally random, it adds to the fun. Then you just have to decide if your ship is worth a prize or a show!
*Try hiding a ship between 2 squares, just like the game!

Couples/Group Game!

The point of this game is one person stays clothed, and the other gets naked! Fill out your board with actions focused on you having your way with the other player.

  • Blindfold _____ and touch _____ with different objects.
  • Make ______ do yoga poses.
  • Use a Fleshlight, pocket-pussy on ______ while they keep their hands behind their back.
  • Make _______ masturbate while _______ watch.
  • Play ring toss….
  • Ride _____ like a horse (for the love of god don’t hurt yourselves)

Spin the Wheel

Broadcaster View

This has been a longtime broadcaster favorite! To play, you must fill in all 12 outcomes and the token price to spin.

Bonus Games you can play with Token Keno

Wheel Of Fortune!

Yes bb’s, that’s right, you can be Vanna White (or Pat Sajak) and play Wheel of Fortune. The only difference is that instead of $ amounts on your wheel, you would give your viewers different combinations of letters they could choose from to solve your puzzle.

Roll the Dice

Roll the Dice is a game of chance where you fill in 6 roll outcomes and viewers have to roll and see what prize they win! You must fill out all 6 outcomes and the price per roll.

When your game is activated, you will see a green dot beside the “Game Center” Button.

In your chat, you will also see a post to your viewers to play your game. This automatic post will appear in your chat randomly as your game is still active.
