Tip2Peep

Tip2Peep is a tool that allows your web cameras to react to tips. Currently, it works on Stripchat, Chaturbate, MyFreeCams, and Cam4. 

It requires at least two web cameras connected to your PC. One is the primary camera – its feed is visible to viewers. Another one is hidden. Its feed becomes visible only once the specific tip is received. It is visible for viewers for a certain period of time, and the primary camera becomes active again once this period is expired.

When configuring the Tip2Peep tool, you need to set up 3 parameters:

  • Amount of tip that activates the hidden camera.
  • The time the camera is active once the tip is received.
  • The camera’s name lets viewers know what to expect after the tip.

Watch how it works on this demonstration video:

FAQs

Can it be used on multiple platforms simultaniously?

Yes, if all of these platforms support integration with Streamster app.

What happens if several members tipped the required for Tip2Peep amount?

If the required tip is received while the hidden cam is active, we extend its activity time. For example, if you set a 30-second Tip2Peep duration and receive a tip when it is active and 20 seconds are left, the activity duration is increased to 50 seconds. These changes are displayed on the Tip2Peep overlay countdown. 

Can the hidden camera and the primary camera feeds be displayed at the same time?

Yes. When you set up your Tip2Peep layer, you can maximize the hidden camera tip to 100% of your stream: in this case, the hidden camera feed is shown instead of the primary camera feed. Alternatively, the hidden camera layer can take up less of the screen, so the part of the primary camera feed will be also visible.

Is setting up and displaying Tip2Peep overlay required?

No, it is optional. If you can tell your viewers about the possibility of switching the webcam with the tip in a different way, you can skip the overlay setup.

Can it work on platforms which are not integrated with the Streamster app?

Unfortunately, not. While the overlay may be displayed on any platform that supports RTMP streaming, switching the camera option doesn’t work on platforms except Stripchat, Chaturbate, MFC, and Cam4. Thus, we strongly advise against displaying the Tip2Peep overlay on supported platforms, as it may confuse viewers.

If you want Tip2Peep to be supported on any other cam sites, please let us know. We also recommend writing about your request to the platform’s support to boost the integration process.

Classic vs. Random Tip Menu

Classic tip menu displays the table of rewards and prices for these rewards.

It can be static, just displaying the tip menu on the stream as an overlay, or interactive, reacting to the tips. The interactive tip menu highlights one of the rewards once the specific tip is received.
Learn about interactive tip menu setup

Classic tip menu preferences include a list of rewards and prices, feedback duration (for the interactive tip menu, the time specific reward is highlighted after the tip is received), title color, opacity and outline.

In Random tip menu, all rewards have the same price, and one of them is selected randomly once the specific tip is received. Thus, random tip menu works in the interactive mode, and can be used on specific streaming platforms only.

Random tip menu preferences include a list of rewards, price, feedback duration (the time specific reward is highlighted after the tip is received), title color, opacity and outline. Please note, that each reward can have an active or inactive status (checkbox). Inactive rewards are displayed on the tip menu, but can’t be chosen by the randomizer.
