What Are Tip Sounds?

Every time tokens are sent to a broadcaster, a tip sound is played for the tipper, the broadcaster, and all other viewers in chat.

Tip sounds change based on the size of the tip. There are four tiers of tip sounds.

Tier	Token Amount
Tier One	1 – 4
Tier Two	5 – 49
Tier Three	50 – 249
Tier Four	250+

The bigger the tip amount, the bigger and longer the sound will be.

What Is External Encoding?

Video encoders are software that allows your digital video to be broadcast live!

CAM4 uses its own encoder, so you just need to click Broadcast to go live on the site. Some sites, like Twitch or YouTube Livestreaming, require you to download external encoders before you can broadcast.

External Encoders can be technical to configure, but they give you many more options for setting up and running your broadcast. With an external encoder, you can fine-tune your video quality, add images or videos to your broadcast, stream video games live, and so much more. Savvy users may even be able to add scrolling lists of top tippers or favorite gifts!

CAM4 has added support for an external encoder to the broadcast window – Open Broadcaster Software (OBS).

You can download OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)here for free.

Fraud Awareness

There is no way to tell if someone tipping is fraudulent, but there are things you can look for to protect yourself that will help keep it to a minimum and also benefit your fellow broadcasters.

New Members

You can see when someone became a member of CAM4 by checking their profile. Brand new users tipping large amounts may be an indicator of fraud.

Please keep in mind that not all new members are fraudulent. Someone with a longer history at CAM4 does tend to be safer but there is always a possibility of a member contacting their bank and stating they did not make the purchases (chargeback).

Tipping Behavior

There are things you can look for during your show that should be a red flag as possible fraud. Here are a few:

If you are chatting while clothed (not performing) and someone tips you – especially large amounts and they are not a regular.
Someone tipping you more than requested.
Someone tips without chatting or making a request – especially if “requests” is one of your goals.
Someone tips and then immediately leaves the room.

Most tippers, especially new ones, will tip in small numbers to see if a broadcaster will follow through with goals or requests.

Rule of thumb: someone spending money wildly may not be spending their own.

Track Your Fraud

If you have repeat fraud from a particular country it may be time to add that country to your block list.

What Do I Do If I Suspect Fraud?

If at any time you feel someone is fraudulent and wish to refuse their tip, please notify us at fraud@cam4.com and we will take care of that for you.

Please keep in mind that all tokens tipped are purchased through one of our processors. Voids are tokens that were purchased with a stolen credit card or the tipper contacted their bank stating they did not make the purchase.

There is no such thing as ‘fake tokens’. Token adders are exe files that are designed to steal your log-in and compromise your account and should never be clicked on. If you find a link to a token adder please report it to us at: technical@cam4.com so we can have it removed.
