How to install and set up Lovense dynamic menu

LOVENSE SMARTCAM software will make your live stream more visual by adding an interactive menu to your broadcast screen!
The advantages in using the Lovense SmartCam are

  • Your viewers will see how long the toy vibrates, the intensity level and the tip amount required to make it vibrate.
  • Shows your top 3 tippers.
  • 2 interactive games, Keno and Dice

Settings

Download the package containing all the up-to-date tools and software at this link: https://www.lovense.com/cam-model/download

This package contains

  • LOVENSE CONNECT,
  • THE OBS TOOLSET, 
  • LOVENSE BROWSER,
  • LOVENSE SMARTCAM (the only tool you need to run your dynamic menu). You can uncheck any tools/software you won’t need.

Important: If you are using Chrome or Firefox as your browser you must be using LOVENSE EXTENSION UPDATE version 23.0.5

Installing the Complete Package

Start LOVENSE SMARTCAM, and choose your default webcam as a video source:

 

Connect your Lovense browser and turn on the connected toy. Click on the pink button (your extension), then on “Settings” as below

 

 

Next activate and configure your LOVENSE SMARTCAM source in the extension settings, as well as the games.

You should now be on this page:

 

 

As you can see, the configuration of your extension is divided into 3 parts:

RULES (your vibrations levels), VIDEO FEEDBACK (video feedback), CHATROOM NOTIFICATION (your notification bots)

Let’s start by activating the link with LOVENSE SMARTCAM:

Click the Video Feedback button, then check the “Connect  to Lovense SmartCam” button

 

 

This action is confirmed  by the message “connected”

If your vibration levels are well configured, then your dynamic menu already appears on your LOVENSE SMARTCAM software like this:

 

 

Finally, you can customize this dynamic menu by activating options like size, opacity, display/hide vibration levels, display special commands and show the top 3 tippers. You can also display personalized text such as your “goal menu”.

 

 

When you change a setting you must confirm by clicking the SAVE button to update the LOVENSE SMARTCAM software and also your live broadcast.

All you have to do now is activate the LOVENSE GAME (Dice or Keno games):

Click on Lovense App gallery as below:

 

 

Click the Activate button and go back to the Cam4 items listed below

 

 

Click on the gears in the “Dice Game” Apps category,  enter the vibration levels dedicated to the dice, then record the levels as shown below:

 

 

In the Video Feedback category, check “Dice  Game” as shown below:

 

 

Set the notification bot that matches this “Dice Game” in the Chatroom Notification category  by checking the associated boxes as below:

 

 

Start your “Dice Game” game  by clicking the “Start” button

 

 

You may review your settings by looking at the Lovense Smartcam software as it appears in your dynamic menu like this

 

 

When you’re ready to launch your broadcast remember you must choose the “Lovense Smartcam” video source as below:

 

 

Let users know you are playing these games by using the hashtags #lovensegames #lovensedice #lovenseKeno in the show description and in your goal as below:

 

 

Using the Lovense Smartcam software will let your customers experience a new way to enjoy your streams, making your show more interactive and entertaining.

Choosing a Good User Name

Your user name will be visible to everyone visiting CAM4 so you will not want to use any personal information in the name.

Remember, you will be building a profile/brand around your name so make sure it’s something creative and fits who you are.

Also keep in mind the following:

  • CAM4 does not permit user names using the numbers 10-17. Names created are removed and you will need to create a new one.
  • Do not use a password for your account that is associated with your personal accounts.
  • User names are limited to 12 characters.
  • Do not create a user name that suggests or promotes activities prohibited by our terms of service.

US Direct Deposit

Direct deposit payments are similar to wires, but because of the way they are processed they are faster and there is no cost to the broadcaster.

PLEASE NOTE: While there is “no fee” from us to send the payment, your bank may charge a fee. This is not something we have any control over so please check with your bank.

Direct deposit payments are processed WEEKLY on FRIDAYS with a minimum payment request of $100.

Payments must be requested by TUESDAY 11:59pm EST to be included for payment on FRIDAY.

Payment will show on your bank statement as: TLE OPPORTUNITIE DIR DEP

REQUIRED INFORMATION:

The following is a list of fields required for Direct deposit payments.

  • If you only have one account no changes need to be made and payments can continue as normal.
  • If you have more than one account, only one can be used to cash out with Direct deposit as the payment method. For your additional accounts please use Cash to tokens as the payment method, you can then transfer the tokens to the account you have set up for Direct deposit through the tip jar or as gifts. Payment can then be requested from the Direct deposit account

  • Children or minors cannot appear on cam. Even in non-nude, non-suggestive instances – a minor cannot pass the age verification and is not approved for broadcasting.
  • Child pornography (CP) in any form is an immediate ban and additional legal action.
