Cam4
Live streaming website From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cam4.com (stylized CAM4), 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[2] 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.[citation needed] Customers can purchase virtual tokens, which can be used to tip performers or pay for private shows.[citation needed] Customers can use live text chat in each performer's "room" or to communicate directly to each other.[citation needed] Cam4 has paid out more than $100m in performer commissions since its inception in 2007.[3]
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.[4] VRTube.xxx co-founder, Ela Darling spearheaded the initiative.[5] The site is working with Ela Darling to distribute virtual reality cameras to models.[6][7][8]
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.[9]

In 2016, Cam4 commissioned a global research study from French Research firm iFop, designed to better understand female orgasm habits and the differences between nationalities.[17][18][19][20][21]
To mark New York Fashion week, CAM4 formed a collaboration with jewelry designer Chris Habana to open a pop-up store on the Lower East Side of New York City. At the night's opening, models and sex workers, including François Sagat and Amanda Lepore, modeled a new jewelry collection.[citation needed]
