Viewer or host: choosing your role
Both roles use the same type of account. The difference is what you do with it: a viewer watches and interacts, a host broadcasts and earns. Many people start as viewers and switch on broadcasting later.
Getting more out of rooms as a viewer
Watch before you type
A minute of reading chat shows you the room's mood and rules.
Search by tags
Tags filter by language, interests and style much faster than scrolling.
Follow favourites
Alerts tell you when a host goes live, no front-page hunting needed.
Budget first
Choose a weekly token amount before buying anything.
Chat manners that keep you in the room
Hosts and moderators mute or ban users who disrupt the chat. Good manners are the simplest way to stay welcome and get noticed for the right reasons.
- Read the bio and room subject before asking anything
- Make a request once and accept the answer
- Avoid caps lock, spam and repeated messages
- Be friendly to other viewers, not only to the host
- Never post links or personal information in public chat
