How to stream on SoulCams with SplitCam

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 SoulCams 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 SoulCams 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.

Log in, click Go Online, then Settings → OBS — the RTMP server and stream key are shown together.

Yes — its OBS settings provide an RTMP server and key, so SplitCam works.

Yes — free, no watermark, no time limit, so a full SoulCams show with multi-camera scenes and overlays costs nothing to encode.

SoulCams gives no official figure — target 3,500–6,000 Kbps at 1080p and test your upload first, as its OBS window shows no bitrate guidance.

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

SoulCams 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.

SoulCams 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.

SoulCams 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 — SoulCams provides an RTMP server URL and a stream key in the broadcaster panel. Paste both into SplitCam's Stream Settings → Custom RTMP, set 1920×1080 at 30 fps with a 4,000–5,000 Kbps bitrate, and click Go Live. The Custom RTMP route gives you full SplitCam scene composition (multi-camera, overlays, filters).
