How to use SplitCam on Premium.Chat

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 Premium.Chat 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 Premium.Chat 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.

As a virtual camera. Premium.Chat calls run in the browser; pick SplitCam in the call's camera selector — no stream key, no RTMP.

Premium.Chat is browser-based, so OBS plugs in the same way SplitCam does — via virtual camera. SplitCam is the lighter, free option with no watermark.

Yes — compose the scene in SplitCam (second camera, overlays, filters) and Premium.Chat sees one webcam. Use sparingly on 1-on-1 calls.

Yes — free, no watermark and no time limit.

Earnings on Premium.Chat 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 Premium.Chat's commission structure — check the model agreement before going live.

Premium.Chat 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.

Premium.Chat 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.

Premium.Chat 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).

Yes — Premium.Chat's live runs in the browser, so SplitCam registers as a webcam called "SplitCam Video Driver". Open the Premium.Chat broadcaster, click the camera selector in the browser, and pick SplitCam. Your composed scene (overlays, second camera, filters, AI background) reaches viewers as a single webcam feed.
