Watch a stream

Every stream on CamuCam is free and open to everyone. You can watch without an account – sign in when you want to chat, follow, send hearts or tip.

Find a stream

• Home is a vertical feed of everyone who’s live: swipe up for the next stream. Channels you follow come first, then the ones with the most viewers. The chips at the top – For you, IRL, Party & Bars, Gaming and the rest – filter by category.
• Browse has a search, Following (once you’re signed in), Rising this week, the categories with how many are live in each, and Top live.
• Last night's moments on Browse shows the best minutes creators published from their recent streams. The home page shows them too when nobody is live.

Tap a name or title to open the channel page: the stream, the chat, the profile with links, past streams and moments.

The player

• Streams start muted – tap Tap for sound.
• The player starts with a near-real-time connection. If your network doesn’t allow it, it switches to a fallback by itself that runs a little behind.
• The number next to LIVE (“12 watching”) counts people whose player is actually playing on screen.
• On a phone, the channel page shows an upright stream full screen: the chat runs over the lower part, and a bar on the right holds Tip, Offers and Wheel (once the streamer is verified and has them), hearts, Hide the chat, sound and Share. A tap on the picture also hides the chat. A landscape stream sits at the top with the chat below.
• On a computer the chat runs next to the video. The eye button at the bottom left of the picture (Hide overlays) hides the creator’s cards and ticker – your browser remembers that.

Breaks, reconnects and countdowns

Instead of “Offline” you may see one of these screens:

• Be right back – the creator takes a break, with a countdown and a line of text.
• Back in a moment – the connection dropped. For up to 3 minutes the chat stays open and the picture comes back by itself.
• Starting soon – a countdown before the stream. A planned stream shows it from 15 minutes before.

While you wait, Watch the latest clip may be there. More in breaks, reconnects & starting soon.

While you watch

• After an hour without a tap, Still watching? appears over the stream. Until you tap I’m here, you don’t count as a viewer and watching earns no XP.
• When the streamer raids another stream, a bar counts down (“Raiding Mara in 5 …”) and then takes you along to that stream. Tap Stay here to stay.
