We are aware of some connectivity issues with the webcam room, affecting a small number of users, especially at busy times. We are working on this, and are in the process of migrating the room to a dedicated, more powerful server. Please accept our appologies.
We have one of the best, most up to date webcam rooms on any web site, and we're constantly making improvements. It works with any, (up to date), browser on any platform. No plug ins or app downloads necessary. Find it here.
In order to make the cam room work for everyone, 'straight out of the box', we needed to use the most up to date, cutting edge technology.
If you're experiencing any problems, please start by making sure your web browser is fully up to date.
The basics:
- Who is in the room (how do I see the member list)? - the member list is on the right side of the screen. If you're on a mobile device, click the little tab that is sticking out in the middle of the right side, and the member list will slide out. Click the tab again to close the member list.
- How do I view someone else's cam? - look in the member list, anyone who is broadcasting will have a small camera icon next to their name - click that.
- How do I sort everyone who has their cam on to the top of the member list? - by default participants are shown in alphabetical order. Just click the cam icon at the top of the list, and the transmitters all float to the top.
- How do I turn my cam on/off? - click the 'camera' toggle switch at the top right of the screen. Blue when you're transmitting, grey when you're not. You will be asked to 'allow' dudesnude to use your camera and microphone when your camera is turned on, but you can click the 'remember' option, so you don't need to do that every time, the blue camera icon will appear next to your name in the list, so others your camera is on. When your cam is on, you'll see your own feed at the top of the member list.
- Who is watching me? / What is the blue eye icon? - other people watching you will have a blue eye next to their name if they are watching your cam. They can also be sorted to the top of the participants list.
- Block someone? Blocking from the main site is fully incorporated into the cam room. If he's blocked, he can't see your video.
Extras:
- Add emojis - just click in the 'enter your text here' box, and click tab on your keyboard, and the emoji menu will appear.
- Whisper - to send a message to someone that appears in the main chat screen, that only he will be able to see, click his icon in either the 'online' list or nest to a message he posted and select whisper. His icon will appear in the text entry box. Click it again to go back to posting for everyone to see.
- Mention - selected like a whisper above, you can post a message that everyone can see, that includes the name of the guy you select (be respectful!).
- Profile - also selected from the same menu, a quick link to his profile on the main site.
- Private chat - ask him to engage in a private (text only at the moment) chat. all happens in a separate floating window.
- Clear chat (button) - it just clears the chat screen, (for you only). Nothing changes for anyone else. Nothing is deleted.
