What is Tip2Peep

Tip2Peep is a tool that allows your webcameras to react to the 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 you set up Tip2Peep, you set 3 parameters:

  1. Amount of tip that activates the hidden camera.
  2. The time the camera is active once the tip is received.
  3. The camera’s name to let your viewers know what to expect after they tip.

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.
