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

CAM4 BOOST — Grow your audience

BOOST: The Ultimate Way to Grow Your Audience

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

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

CAM4 puts YOU in the driver’s seat, giving you the ability to move higher in the directory so more people can discover your show!

How It Works

The BOOST button appears on your screen once you start a live stream and is visible to you and your fans.

Once purchased, this feature positions your room among the top cams currently on the site for the duration of the boost.

  1. Click the BOOST button to get started.
  2. It costs 25 tokens to boost your cam for 5 minutes, or until you have gained 10 new people in your room, up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
  3. Click Proceed to confirm. The cost will be deducted from your CAM4 account, and your cam will be repositioned in the directory.

What Happens When BOOST Starts?

  • A message appears in your chat letting you know who purchased the boost.
  • A bar on your broadcast window slowly fills as the time runs out.
  • The button changes to Boost Active and includes a countdown. It becomes inactive, so you cannot click it while your boost is running.

Pro Tip

When your boost is active, more people will see your thumbnail. This is your moment to attract more fans to your show! Switch things up with an alluring pose, a sexy striptease, a wet T-shirt show, or close-ups. Make the most of the opportunity to catch your new audience’s attention.

What Happens When BOOST Ends?

  • The button changes back to BOOST and becomes active again, allowing you to click it to start another boost.
  • A message in your chat confirms that the boost has ended and shows how many viewers you gained during it.
  • Your directory position changes, but you may not return to your original spot. Your new position will reflect increases in your viewers gained during the boost.

Viewers Can BOOST You Too!

Fans are always looking for ways to support their favorite models. Why not encourage them to use the BOOST feature on your room?

With their help, boosting can make a difference in your show and exposure on CAM4.

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 broadcasters 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

Broadcasters 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.
