A cam-time glossary

Short definitions for words this timetable uses without ceremony. If you want the long version of a topic, the help desk is the next stop. Every entry assumes an adult reader.

Public room: A live broadcast anyone can watch without paying. You can usually type in the public chat. The performer may still set rules, mute people, or move into a paid show at any time.
Private show: A paid, per-minute session with one performer. Rates are set by the performer and posted in the room. You spend tokens from your account for as long as the private lasts.
Spy show: A way to watch someone else’s private show without being seen in that private chat. It is usually cheaper per minute than starting the private yourself, and it is only offered if the performer allows it.
Exclusive show: A private that does not allow spies. You are the only paid viewer. Exclusive rates are often higher than a standard private.
Tokens: The prepaid currency used to tip and to pay for privates, extras, and some cam-to-cam features. Packages are sold at checkout on the live site. The price per token can change with the package size; the live checkout is the source of current prices.
Tip: A voluntary token amount you send to a performer in a public or private room. Many rooms post a tip menu for specific requests. Tipping is optional in a public room.
Cam-to-cam (C2C): A feature where you turn on your own camera so the performer can see you. It is optional, often costs tokens, and should only be used if you are comfortable being seen. Read the room rules first.
Fan club: A paid membership a performer offers to regular viewers, usually billed in tokens for a period of time. Perks vary and are listed by the performer. A fan club is not the same as a private show.
Contest: A time-limited ranking on the live site, often based on tokens received during a window. Contests can change who appears at the top of a directory. They are optional to join as a viewer.
Lovense / Lush: Interactive toys some performers connect to the room. Tips or specified amounts can trigger the toy. Not every room uses one, and the performer decides whether it is on.
Room subject: The short line a performer writes at the top of a room, often including rules, a goal, or a tip menu. It changes during a broadcast and is the fastest way to learn what is happening before you chat.
Seconds online: How long the current broadcast has been running. A room that just came online may still be setting up. A room that has been live for hours may be mid-show or between segments.
HD: A room flagged as broadcasting in high definition. HD depends on the performer’s camera and connection, and on yours. It is not a guarantee of a particular resolution at every moment.
New room: A broadcaster the live site currently marks as new. The label is about the account’s age on the platform, not about the performer’s age. Every performer on this timetable is an adult.
White-label: A branded version of Chaturbate’s live site. Cam-Time’s rooms, accounts, and checkout run on camtime.chaturbate.com. This marketing site does not host the video itself.
Age gate: A confirmation that you are 18 or older. You will see one on this site and may see another on the live white-label, depending on your location and local rules.
Daypart: A block of the day, such as lunch, after work, or late night. Cam-Time uses dayparts as a way to browse, not as a fixed studio schedule. The rooms you see are the ones live when you load the page.
Quiet room: A live room with relatively few people watching at that moment. Quiet is not the same as empty or offline, and it is not a promise the performer will reply to every message.
