What are the key improvements introduced in the new inbox messaging system?
The new inbox messaging system brings a completely overhauled user experience and design, offering a fresh and intuitive interface. Users can explore new features designed to transform the way they interact with each other, on both desktop and mobile.
How can I start a new conversation with other users?
Click on the icon to initiate a new conversation. You can search for users using filters like recently watched or recently tipped, or simply enter their username in the search bar for real-time results.
How can I organize my conversations in the inbox?
You can filter chat threads by the most recent or oldest messages for convenient organization. Additionally, the gear icon allows you to edit existing conversations, select multiple threads for deletion, or star a thread for easy access.
What is the purpose of starring a thread?
Starring a thread places it in the starred group section for quick and easy access.
What is a Wink, and how does it work?
Non-gold users have three Winks per day, allowing them to express interest and initiate a conversation. Gold users can skip the need for Winks and directly message any user on the platform.
What media features are available in the new inbox?
Users can send various media types, including My Shop videos and galleries, directly into the thread conversation. Media can be sorted and shared with other users.
How can broadcasters benefit from the media features?
Broadcasters can share fan-only galleries, promoting themselves to users who have purchased a fan club membership
How can I reward performers with tips and gifts?
Tips and gifts can be sent directly into private threads to show appreciation for the shared content.
How does the Request Private Show button work?
Clicking the button allows users to engage in a private Cam2Cam show in exchange for tokens. This provides a more intimate space for users without the possibility of others spying on the show.
How can users rate each other after a private show?
At the end of a private show, users can rate each other. Additionally, earnings and spending for that specific session are visible in the chat.
How can I save a message or media for later reference?
Highlight a message or media and press the bookmark icon labeled “Save” to store it chronologically in the Save tab for that thread.
Are there any additional details to explore in the new Inbox Overhaul?
Yes, we encourage users to explore the system further to discover all the little details and features. Feel free to reach out to support@cam4.com if you have any specific questions or need assistance.
Achievements shine the spotlight on the milestones you reach as a CAM4 member. When you complete different interactions on CAM4 such as uploading photos to your profile, joining a Fan Club, or making a new friend, you can unlock an Achievement badge.
Visit the Achievements section in My Account to track your progress and explore new achievements to unlock. You can display your collection of unlocked achievements on your profile and check out what your friends have unlocked on theirs, helping you find new ways to connect with each other.
Once you’ve unlocked an Achievement, you can use that badge and title in CAM4 chat rooms to add flair to your username and stand out from the crowd! (Coming soon).
WHERE CAN I FIND MY ACHIEVEMENTS?
You can learn more about available Achievements and track your progress by visiting the Achievement page within the Edit Profile section of My Account.
Any Achievements you earn will also get featured on your CAM4 profile page.
NAVIGATING ACHIEVEMENTS
When viewing Achievements in My Account, you can browse between ALL, UNLOCKED, and LOCKED achievements.
ALL will show you a mix of locked, unlocked, and in-progress Achievements. Use UNLOCKED and LOCKED to quickly view only the Achievements you have earned or are in the process of earning, respectively.
CHANGING THE DISPLAY SETTINGS
You can choose to view your achievements in either a detailed list or a simplified grid by selecting the corresponding toggles at the top of each section
LOCKED, UNLOCKED & IN PROGRESS
Locked and in-progress Achievement badges are displayed in black and white. Once you have completed the criteria to unlock any Achievement, the badge is displayed in color. By default, all your unlocked and in-progress Achievements are moved to the top of the list, sorted by most recent.
When an Achievement requires multiple actions, for example, uploading more photos to your profile gallery, you’ll see a progress bar appear underneath the badge, which will fill as you complete these actions.
VIEWING ACHIEVEMENT DETAILS
You can tap or click any Achievement to view more details at any time. Doing so will open a panel that will display the following:
Achievement badge
Achievement title – this is the name of the achievement
Achievement description – the specific actions required to unlock the Achievement
Progress completion percentage – how much progress has been made so far toward unlocking the achievement
Rarity percentage – this indicates how common or rare this Achievement is within the CAM4 community. If less than 10% of other users have completed this goal, congratulations! You can feel proud! If lots of other people have also unlocked the same achievement, that’s great, too. It just means you have even more in common with plenty of potential new friends on CAM4.
HOW WILL I KNOW I’VE UNLOCKED AN ACHIEVEMENT?
When you unlock an Achievement, you’ll be notified in real-time. A small panel will appear in the top right corner of your screen showing you the title and badge of the Achievement you just unlocked. You can choose to interact with this panel for more information, dismiss it by clicking the “x” or simply wait and it will disappear on its own.
If you want more information but didn’t click the Achievement notification in time, not to worry – you can always visit the Achievements section inside My Account to see your unlocked Achievements; the newest ones will always be right at the top waiting for you!
CAN PEOPLE SEE MY ACHIEVEMENTS ON MY PROFILE PAGE?
Yes! Unlocked Achievements appear on your CAM4 profile page. You can also see what your friends and other CAM4 members have unlocked on their profile pages.
HELP! I COMPLETED ALL MY ACHIEVEMENTS – WILL THERE EVER BE NEW ONES?
Yes! We plan to release more Achievements regularly; make sure to subscribe and keep an eye out for news in CAM4 email announcements and follow us on Twitter for all the latest news and updates.
HELP! I COMPLETED AN ACTION, BUT MY ACHIEVEMENT DIDN’T UNLOCK!

To play the game the viewer must click on the square he wants to unlock. Once he clicks on the square an animation is displayed with an unlocked prize.
A chat notification is sent to inform all users that the viewer unlocked a prize. After a pick, the game is paused for 1 minute, but the broadcaster has the possibility to resume it faster by pressing the Allow Unlock button that replaced the Game Center button.

The broadcaster can end the game whenever they want. To do so they have to go to the game settings window and click on the Disable button.
Spin the Wheel
In this game, the broadcaster can set up a number of prizes and a price per spin. The minimum number of prizes is 6 and the maximum is 12. The broadcaster must set the price per spin and also input the minimum number of prizes so that the game can be started.
