🎂 Happy birthday!

If you would like, you may enter the chat room with a special 🍰 birthday cake emoji next to your username instead of the usual country flag. This is totally optional and you may do this by clicking the button below to enter the chat room:

You have a Shy Account and you may not enter the chat room at this time, where our {{PrettyTitle}} members may be sharing their cameras. You are sharing no public photos with the community, so you get limited access to ours. Learn more about how to resolve this issue.

{{PrettyTitle}} has a new chat room! Come and check it out. It features some public rooms, direct messages, and optional webcam support too. You may broadcast your video and other users may click to watch yours, and you can open one or multiple videos broadcasted by the other chatters.

Chat Room Rules

Please observe the following rules for the chat room.

* Explicit videos will show with a red icon instead of blue in the Who List so people can know what they're getting into before they open your cam, in case someone prefers not to just see some guy jerking off.

Note: the chat room has been tested and seems to work best on Firefox and all Chromium browsers (including Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc.) and on most types of devices (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Android) with text chat and video sharing all working perfectly.

Support for Apple devices is a little more nuanced:

Mac OS: Safari seems to work now (as of 3/31) for the text chat features of the room. However, sound effects and video sharing aren't working yet for Safari. Use Firefox or Chrome (or other Chromium browser of your choice) for better odds of video support.

iPad & iPhone: give the chat room a try as of 3/31, it may be able to enter the chat room now but I'm not sure whether it will support video sharing or not.

Unfortunately, Chrome and Firefox do not work any better on iOS because Apple currently is afraid of competition in the web browser space and every iOS browser is really just a custom wrapper around Safari - so while Chrome/Firefox work great on Android this is not true of iOS.
