Been circling here prefer the streamate cam setup over token-based sites for a while now. The only metric I trust with cam setup is whether you can hide distance and last-active.
What nobody agrees on with streamate cam setup is that the last honest write-up is two years old, which is why I want firsthand accounts. I judge cam setup almost entirely on whether it is genuinely free or free until you try to reply day to day.
The checks that saved me time on cam setup, in order:
- Test what happens to your visibility after a week of silence in your own city rather than the default radius
- Pin down what happens to your visibility after a week of silence with notifications switched off
- Work out whether the distance setting is honoured and write the answer down
- Track how the search behaves outside the default radius before you commit any time to it
If you tried streamate cam setup and moved on, what actually happened? Wins and write-offs all worth hearing. Firsthand accounts would genuinely change my mind.
