ManyCam Offers Multi-Network Streaming

It is no secret that the adult live cam arena is profitable for performers and promoters alike, with some savvy operators making themselves available on several networks at the same time, multiplying their chances of getting a tip or booking a private show. While this can lead to using more than one cam and computer, software tools can eliminate this additional overhead, splitting one signal to many users.

According to its publisher, ManyCam (www.manycam.com) allows live cam performers to deliver their content to multiple webcam networks, including Skype, MSN, and YouTube, simultaneously, via its virtual webcam driver software.

ManyCam allows live cam performers to deliver their content to multiple webcam networks, including Skype, MSN, and YouTube, simultaneously.

The system is also compatible with most adult webcam networks.

No mere switcher or signal multiplier, ManyCam offers a range of useful and innovative features.

“Add thousands of amazing webcam effects and custom graphics inside any webcam application. Change your face, eyes, [and] hair; add backgrounds, and much more,” states the publisher’s website. “Try our live audio effects and voice changer. Improve your microphone audio quality, make a funny high voice, low voice, or disguise your voice with any app.”

ManyCam offers many additional features, including approximately 8,000 special effects plug-ins, which provides a wide range of audio and video effects, such as an “underwater” background (perfect for marketing the “naughty mermaid” fantasy), various holiday themes, and artistic overlays that allow performers to appear as “pencil sketches” and more.

An underused resource for adult webcam performers, these creative addons could provide deep niche marketing opportunities, when properly marketed.

Additional features include the ability to draw over the video window, screencast the users’ desktop online, and include your own custom effects and graphics into the mix.

Upgrading to the sub-$50 Pro version adds the ability to switch between audio and video sources using the software’s live video studio switcher and unlocks the company’s Pro series effects.

The simple interface and expansive feature set make this an ideal solution for small studio owners and real amateur site operators seeking a competitive advantage.

“ManyCam Pro allows you to record videos to show later, broadcast live video with multiple sources, switch between audio sources, cross-fade and transition, and add text over your live video or screencast,” the publisher’s site explains. “ManyCam Pro users also get access to our library of awesome ManyCam Pro audio and video effects.”

While many ManyCam features and effects may seem “cheesy” for adult applications, this tool is more than useful in its free download version, and the foundation of a decent live cam studio in its more advanced Pro version — and for the price, a deal that can’t be beat.

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

Over the past year, we’ve seen growing pushback from acquirers on merchants using opt-out cross-sales — also known as negative option offers. This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.

How to Handle Payment Disputes Without Sacrificing Trust

You can run the best-managed and most compliant website out there, but that still doesn’t completely shield you from the risks tied to payment disputes. Buyer’s remorse, an unclear billing description or even a simple misunderstanding can lead a customer to dispute a transaction. Accumulate enough disputes, and both your reputation and revenue could be at risk.

How to Switch Payment Processors Without Disrupting Business

For many merchants, the idea of switching payment processors can feel pretty overwhelming. That’s understandable. After all, downtime can stall sales, recurring subscriptions can suddenly fail, or compliance gaps can put accounts at risk. Operating in a high-risk sector like the adult industry can further amplify the stress of transition.
