Megathread Information
Please see this post if you want some general tips and tricks or wish to ask your fellow cammers for information!
If you have any questions or wish to send in verification links, message our team here.
We get "new to camming, [question]" and "what tech should I have" and "what's the best way" and so on threads pretty often in this sub, and it's great that so many people are interested in camming! Buuuut it also gets repetitive and a lot of those posts either don't get replies, or just get the same advice over and over anyway. So I'd like to make one big thread where everyone can share advice, tips, tricks, tech specs, etc.
You're welcome to ask questions in this thread but please try searching the sub/post beforehand.
Just to start, here's some quick info from me! (This of course is my experience/setup and it may not work for you, blah, blah, you get it)
- My camera: Logitech c920 (bought from Amazon years ago) - You can still get this on Amazon for roughly 60-80 USD depending on the seller and time of year. It has never failed me, and it's easy to use imo. Works fine with the OBS camera settings.
Note: I've tried the Logitech Brio and ime it wasn't really worth it. Not enough people (at the time) had the ability to receive my streams in 4k, and the "arm" it was attached to seemed a bit stiff and hard to adjust. The field of view was also a bit bigger and while I think you can change it, I never figured it out. And for camming, generally you want a smaller field of view so that your hotness takes up more of the screen ;) But ofc this was several years ago, so the Brio may be more user friendly these days.
- My mic: Blue Yeti (also a few years old now, probably from Amazon; basic model, not the pro version) - About 100 USD from Amazon, 130 from Blue itself. It's a decent mic, I haven't had many issues with it. I think it sometimes it picks up too much bg noise (like fans and junk), but no one has ever outright complained.
- Stream client: I use OBS to stream, not the in-browser client, and I like it best because I can make my own little graphics to slap on my video that have a small tip menu or my socials on it. Ime it's pretty easy to set up, and while the OBS community itself mostly talks about streaming on Twitch, most of the info you can find applies regardless of the platform.
- Favorite bots/apps: Most days my chosen "app" is either the basic "Tip Counter" or "CrazyGoal". I've used others like hangman or sequence tipping, but these days I only stream on CB about 3 times a week so this is what works for me now. My favorite bot is definitely "UltraBot - 4sci". You can set up different tip menus, rotating notices, a "wheel", and a bunch of general chat rules.
- General advice: The first thing I always tell newcomers is that consistency is key. If you can, make yourself a schedule and stick to it. Post it in your bio. If people know when to expect you, you'll get regulars faster. Big follower counts look nice and feel good, but viewer retention is what matters.
Make a tip menu. Even if it's small and only has a few things on it, it's the first thing people look for after deciding whether you're hot or not. You can always make it bigger later on. Ime, viewers don't want to ask how much something costs unless it's a fetish or they're real horny, they'll just look for that info first. Camming is great in a lot of ways, but don't forget that most of us are small fish in a big sea, and there's a million other models that have easy to read tip menus readily available.
Beware of scammers! New models get preyed on all the time. People will post emotes in the chat saying "tipped x tokens" even though they haven't tipped anything. Remember that if the person actually tipped, the site will make a noise and the WHOLE line including their username will be highlighted yellow, not just the amount. Also, don't do anything before you get the tip. If someone offers to tip you after you, "show your tits" or whatever, tell them to eat a dick.
Don't push yourself to fake it. It's fine to exaggerate aspects of your personality in order to be successful. But if you hate bondage and kink and try to make yourself into a BDSM streamer complete with ropes and all sorts of paddles, you will burn out! That's a bit of a wild example, but you get the idea. You'll tire yourself out, and people will start to notice. And not everyone is going to be nice enough to stick around after the real you comes out. It's best to just be you right off the bat.
Get social media, and tell people to follow you. Imo, a Twitter account should be the next thing you create after your CB account. Not everyone has email notifs turned on for CB, and Twitter is a good way to advertise yourself and your streams, network with other models, and just show your viewers that you are, in fact, a real person.
This is getting really long, so I'll just say this one last bit. Don't compare yourself to other models. It's tempting, and after 5+ years I still occasionally do it. Checking out what other models are doing to get views and taking inspiration from that is fine. Watching model follower counts compared to how long they've been streaming, or how many tokens they have compared to their current viewer count is only going to make you upset. If you're doing better sure, you might get a bit of an ego boost, but scrolling through the front page and wondering what's so great about those other models, like they're the popular kid in high school, is not healthy. Define "success" for yourself. Are you trying to get rich, or trying to pay the rent?
That's it from me, sorry this got wordy, good luck to everyone, and stay safe out there :)
Bonjour, je vous avoue que je ne m'en sors pas vraiment avec les applications Chaturbate surtout que mon anglais est pas terrible. J'aimerais une simple application ou je peux mettre ma diffusion en privé à tout moment et les spectateurs payent par exemple 100 tokens si ils veulent rentrer dans ma room. Avez-vous une idée simple de ce genre d'application sur Chaturbate ? J'ai essayé CrazyTicket mais il me limite à 25 tokens maximum.
I am absolutely blown away and humbled. I did my first stream today, not expecting anything much, and oh my gosh…… 900+ lovely people are now part of my club!!! Could not be more excited
hey everyone, i've noticed that she hasn't been online in over 2 months...did she quit?
cum hang out! w ur wang out
Finally got my ID approved after a few days of trying. Come hang out and chill.
This is a completely honest post first and foremost. I'm a male 38 in good shape and I like to show off and be adored. I'm literally just an average blue colar guy with nice eyebrows and a sexy face when I cum. I am not shy at all and I did like cumming on cam when I was on chaturbate a couple years ago because I suprisingly got some followers and fun messages. I mean this is basically porn that my face can be shared with anyone any time anywhere or would I be limited to only people on chaturbate?

We are still fairly new to this but I promise we will have soooooo much fun.
Cum say hi!
I only ask because some of them do look young, and it can be difficult to tell if they actually are over 18 or not. I know some girls well over 18 can look younger, and some that are younger can look over 18.
It can be a minefield and I don't want to potentially get into trouble.
Not sure whether to mention any model names as an example at this point, but how about little_anitta ? Has anyone seen her? OMG she is so pretty and has an amazing body. Her profile states that she's 19, and I guess she could be. I hope she is!
But if there is some age verification process all chaturbate models have to go through, then I can watch all of them with peace of mind that I'm not doing anything wrong!
