MFC Alerts shows animated effects on your MyFreeCams stream whenever a viewer tips. It runs as a Browser layer inside free SplitCam — set it up once and tips trigger on-screen reactions live.
Install free SplitCam for Windows or macOS, then add your webcam as a source. MFC Alerts will sit as a layer on top of this camera.
In SplitCam, open the Browser tab and navigate to www.mfcalerts.com. Log in, or register if you don't have an mfcalerts.com account yet.
On mfcalerts.com, use Copy to clipboard to copy your personal alerts URL — this is the page that renders the tip animations.
Paste the URL into SplitCam's Browser window and click Add. Then reorder the source list so MFC Alerts sits above your webcam (3-dot menu → Move Up). If it's below the webcam, the effects won't show.
Open Settings → Send test tip and confirm the alert effect appears over your camera. Then stream to MyFreeCams as usual — real tips now trigger the animations.
The single most common mistake: if the MFC Alerts layer is below the webcam in the source list, the effects are hidden. Move it up.
The alerts URL is personal to your account — register on mfcalerts.com first if you don't have one.
Use Settings → Send test tip to confirm the overlay works — don't discover it's broken mid-show.
If the alert effects stop appearing, right-click the MFC Alerts Browser layer and choose "Refresh cache of current page" — that clears a stale overlay.
MFC Alerts is a live browser overlay reacting to tips — a wired link keeps both the camera and the alert animations from stuttering.
Almost always the bitrate is higher than your upload can sustain. Run SplitCam's built-in speed test, then set the bitrate to about 75% of your measured upload — 3,500–6,000 Kbps for 1080p, lower for 720p. The lag clears once the encoder stops outrunning your connection.
Dropped frames mean packets aren't reaching MFC Alerts in time — usually unstable Wi-Fi. Switch to a wired Ethernet connection, close bandwidth-heavy apps, and lower the bitrate a notch. One spike is fine; a steady climb means the connection can't keep up.
Your camera isn't selected as the active source in SplitCam, or another app is holding it. Close Zoom, Skype or OBS, pick your webcam again in SplitCam's source list, and confirm the preview shows your feed before you press Go Live.
Re-copy the stream key — a trailing space or an old, rotated key is the usual cause. Confirm the server URL matches the one MFC Alerts shows and that external-encoder broadcasting is enabled on your account. A green slider in SplitCam's Stream Settings confirms a valid key.
Pick SplitCam as both the camera and the microphone, and select your real mic inside SplitCam's audio source. If audio drifts behind the video, lower the resolution one step — the encoder is overloaded and the audio is waiting on late frames.
A notification system for MyFreeCams that shows video effects on your stream when viewers tip — added as a Browser overlay in SplitCam.
Almost always layer order — the MFC Alerts Browser layer must sit above the webcam in SplitCam's source list.

Yes — SplitCam is free with no watermark or time limit, and the MFC Alerts browser overlay runs inside it at no extra cost.
Earnings on MFC Alerts depend on audience size, hours streamed and tipping behaviour. Active broadcasters typically take home $200–$3,000 per month; top performers reach $10,000+. Your revenue share follows MFC Alerts's commission structure — check the model agreement before going live.
MFC Alerts requires age and ID verification before payout, which protects models from fraud. Use a stage name, never share personal data on camera, enable geo-blocks to hide your stream from your home region, and treat every viewer request as transactional. SplitCam's overlays and AI background can also hide or replace your real surroundings.
MFC Alerts typically requires a government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license or ID card), a selfie holding the ID, and a tax/payout form (W-9 for US, W-8BEN for non-US). Approval usually takes 24–72 hours; once approved you can go live the same day.
MFC Alerts usually offers a mobile broadcaster app or a mobile-web broadcaster, but the experience is limited — no overlays, no second camera, no AI background. For full production quality, broadcast from a computer with SplitCam and use your phone as a second camera (SplitCam accepts IP-camera input from phones).
