CAM4 offers a wide variety of show options to give you complete creative control over the type of show you want to offer your fans – read on for tips on how to best use each of the options available.

Private Shows

This is a full 1 on 1 experience where fans get you all to themselves, perfect for living out either of your fantasies. I recommend doing private shows either before or after your public show – this way you can give the viewer in your private show your full attention, without upsetting fans who were tipping to reach your public show goal. No one likes to be left hanging bb.

Private Show Tips

• When you are accepting private shows, change the scenery by either moving to a different room, turning on different coloured lights or simply changing your cam angle. This will let your fans know it is private time and may entice more fans to take you private. 
• Have specific costumes, toys, and roll play scenarios that you do only when in a private show with your fans. Sexy show exclusives will heighten the excitement and pleasure for both of you.
• Cam2Cam is a private show exclusive feature where you get to see and hear your fan in real time. This makes it so much easier for the both of you to communicate your desires during your show. (Don’t worry, spies are not able to hear anything in a private show and they can only see the performer)
• If your fan wants to get more personal in the private show, call them by a name they choose. You can even record the show and send it as a gift by uploading the video to your Google Drive and sending the URL link in a private message. Even better, send the video as a surprise 😉

 Group Shows 

Group Shows are special show that requires a number of viewers to purchase tickets (for tokens). These are great for hosting groups of fans that want to see you pleasing yourself and others without having a huge crowd around. 

Group Show Tips

This is also a great option if you have a few very loyal fans in your room and you want to offer them a more intimate show.

• If you are a couple and offer this fantasy, you can have your partner watch in the background of the cam while you please the fans who are in your group.
• If you have slaves, you can tell them to get tickets –so they have to watch you get  pleasure from other fans while they can only watch and tip.
• If you enjoy the fantasy of being watched by multiple people while you are doing a show, tell your fans that this turns you on and create a group show. To really heighten this fantasy, tell the fans in your group show to say or do certain things while you are performing, they will absolutely love to be a part of your fantasy.
• If you have a gangbang or multiple partner fantasy, tell your fans how much you want them to have their way with you. You then have the option of letting them take control of dirty talk, etc… or telling them how you want them to act towards you while the group show is taking place.

Password Protected Shows

All approved CAM4 broadcasters can start a password protected show. You can charge whatever you like and use password protected shows in such a huge variety of ways.

Password Show Tips

• Fan Club broadcasters can use their exclusive galleries to post a time, date, and password to inform subscribers of an exclusive fan club show.
• If you are a fetish broadcaster, you can have a list of role play and fetish shows that you will only do in a password protected room
• If you are concerned about showing your face on cam, a password show is perfect because no one can spy on you if you do decide to show your face.
• Create set token amounts that fans can tip to have true private time with you in a password protected room. For example, instead of leaving the site to do a show on a 3^rd party service, you can offer fans the same amount of time you would spend there for a set token cost.
• Password protected shows are a lot safer than using 3^rd party sites like Skype – mainly because you’re not sharing any personal information and still have the protection of CAM4 support team! With our Cam2cam feature you ther is no need to ever go off site to engae with your fans.

We know that it can be stressful using your personal information on any site, so we sat down with the CAM4 Customer Service pros to ask some questions about how secure the site really is.

CAM4 Coach: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to answer all my security questions.  The first thing I want to ask why performers need to upload their ID to the Performer Dashboard?

Customer Service: We have an obligation to make sure anyone we will be paying is of legal age to be on the site. We also use the Model Release and ID check in the case of cams with multiple people, to make sure that everyone is aware they are part of the broadcast. 

CAM4 Coach: Makes sense! What do you do with the ID once it is uploaded? 

Customer Service: Your ID is reviewed by a member of our approval team. Once it’s approved, a copy is kept offline by our Keeper of Records and the digital copy is deleted.

CAM4 Coach: If someone did a google search on my real name would CAM4 come up?

Customer Service: CAM4 would only appear on searches of your real name if you personally associated the two in some way. For example, if you used your real name as your username, or published an email address/Facebook/Twitter/Skype account that is connected to your real name.

Anything you type on your own public profile or on the comment wall of other profiles can be indexed by the search engines. (You can find advice on keeping your privacy here.)

CAM4 Coach: Can my account be “hacked”?

Customer Service: Technically anything is possible… but it is HIGHLY unlikely that this will occur. The bigger risk is social engineering – where you pass your account information to someone else without realizing it.

Typically this would be achieved by someone claiming to work for CAM4 giving you a link (in Skype or another 3rd party service) to a page that looks like a CAM4 page with a login box – as soon as you “log in” they get your information.

Alternatively, someone may send you a file in Skype that is supposed to be an image, but is in reality a key-logger that lets them see whatever you type.

 CAM4 Coach: What can I do to keep my account safe from people like that?

Customer Service: Make sure you keep your account information to yourself, be cautious when accepting files from anyone, and do not accept people in Skype claiming to work for CAM4. We will not approach you in this way, ever.

If you receive anything claiming to be from CAM4 asking for your account information please contact support@cam4.com – we can verify it for you or let you know that it’s fake.

CAM4 Coach: So the best advice is to keep your camming on CAM4 and never give out your password! Speaking of giving out information, does CAM4 share any of my personal information with 3rd parties?

Customer Service: No. We never share any of your personal info.

CAM4 Coach: One more question, how effective is a country block?

Customer Service: A country block will block people within that country – however, it will not block users of that nationality residing in another country, or using a proxy/VPN to give them a different location. As a whole, though, it will block the vast majority of that country’s users.

CAM4 Coach: Thanks so much for the interview! This has been very helpful.

Customer Service: No problem. Stay safe!

New Members

You can see when someone became a member of CAM4 by checking their profile. Brand new users tipping large amounts may be an indicator of fraud.

Please keep in mind that not all new members are fraudulent. Someone with a longer history at CAM4 does tend to be safer but there is always a possibility of a member contacting their bank and stating they did not make the purchases (chargeback).

Tipping Behavior

There are things you can look for during your show that should be a red flag as possible fraud. Here are a few:

• If you are chatting while clothed (not performing) and someone tips you – especially large amounts and they are not a regular.
• Someone tipping you more than requested.
• Someone tips without chatting or making a request – especially if “requests” is one of your goals.
• Someone tips and then immediately leaves the room.

Most tippers, especially new ones, will tip in small numbers to see if a performer will follow through with goals or requests.

Rule of thumb: someone spending money wildly may not be spending their own.

Track Your Fraud

If you have repeat fraud from a particular country it may be time to add that country to your block list.

What Do I Do If I Suspect Fraud?
If at any time you feel someone is fraudulent and wish to refuse their tip, please notify us at tipping@cam4.com and we will take care of that for you.

Please keep in mind that all tokens tipped are purchased through one of our processors. Voids are tokens that were purchased with a stolen credit card or the tipper contacted their bank stating they did not make the purchase.

There is no such thing as ‘fake tokens’.
Token adders are .exe files that are designed to steal your log-in and compromise your account and should never be clicked on. If you find a link to a token adder please report it to us at: technical@cam4.com so we can have it removed.

Whether you are brand new, or an experienced performer, setting up a new space can be a little tricky – unless you follow these great tips to getting set up!

Locate All Light Sources

You want to control the light no matter where you are performing. Start by:

• Covering all windows. The sun is not a suitable source of light because it is inconsistent and can give away your location.
• See what light fixtures are already in the room and how much light they give off.

Once you know how much light you have to work with you need to:

• Compact fluorescent bulbs should be used (daylight color / 5500 kelvin or 5000-6500 Kelvin)or (Soft white bulbs are 2700 – 3000 kelvin and that is on the warmer side)
• Get a few clamp lamps to add light where needed

For full info on how to set up your lights check out the article “Lighting 101” 

 Choose A Flattering Angle

When choosing which direction to point your webcam, keep in mind that we are a visual site and the more you have in your background the better.

Here are a few tips for picking a flattering angle:

• If you have a “good side” you are more comfortable facing the cam with take that into account. You always want to be comfortable, so make sure you don’t have to position your body in an awkward pose to get the effect you want.
• To make the most of a space, have the camera angled towards a corner of the room with your webcam in the opposite corner. This will give you the most space to work with and incorporate more wall space you can use for decorating or game boards.
• Position your webcam so it is above you angling down, this is very flattering on all body types.
• If you want to look taller place your webcam below you angled so it is pointing up at you, this is also a great angle for sexy walking, dancing, and the giantess fetish.

 Set Your Stage

This is the best part of setting up your room. The longer you are in a space, the more comfortable you get and the more you will decorate. Your room doesn’t have to be perfect, but it has to be a place you will want to hang out in for hours.

Beautiful additions to any room:

Curtains are the perfect room accessory if you can’t paint, or if you need to hide things like closet doors (which I did here).

To create this affect I used a basic curtain rod and attached it to the wall the same way you would hang any curtains. I then sewed fabric loops onto my favorite fabric and hung them.

 A large mirror is fantastic for selfies and to reflect the back of you to your viewers so they catch you from every angle. To make this extra flattering, prop your mirror on your wall at a bit of an angle. This will make your body look longer while laying down and taller when standing. Having it by your bed is also a plus because you will have so many bed selfies!

Use colored lights, pillows, posters, games, toys, musical instruments, etc. to dress up your space. Remember, the whole point of adding these things is so you don’t get bored, if you love your surroundings and have lots to interact with, the more fun it is to watch you.
