Cam4

Cam4.com, is a French live streaming website featuring live performances by primarily amateur performers. Streams on Cam4 often feature nudity and sexual activity. In 2020, Wired reported that Cam4's production server did not have a password set in their ElasticSearch instance, a common security mistake, which may have exposed user information.

Concept

Cam4 is used mostly by amateur performers who stream video and audio. Customers can purchase virtual tokens, which can be used to tip performers or pay for private shows. Customers can use live text chat in each performer's "room" or to communicate directly to each other. Cam4 has paid out more than $100m in performer commissions since its inception in 2007.

Strategic partnerships

In May 2016, Cam4 partnered with VRtube.xxx to launch Cam4VR, a 360° 3D virtual reality live cam experience available on the Cam4 platform. VRTube.xxx co-founder, Ela Darling spearheaded the initiative. The site is working with Ela Darling to distribute virtual reality cameras to models.
In February 2017, Cam4 announced a partnership with teledildonics manufacturer Kiiroo, launching a "live touch" feature that syncs the vibration of the Kiiroo sex toy to tokens tipped during a live webcam show.
