Discord Video Calls and Messaging for Camgirls and Adult Content Creators

Discord is a popular video chatting and private messaging application that allows users to connect privately and chat via messaging or through audio/video calls. With the closure of Skype, Discord is the best way for camgirls and adult creators to offer independent video chat webcam shows by utilizing directories like SkyPrivate or CamModelDirectory or direct tipping to receive payment!

Creating Your Discord Account

In order to offer video chats or private messaging through Discord, all you’ll need to do is create a free Discord account. To get started you’ll need an email address or phone number and to pick out your username. Once you’ve created your account you’ll get to add a profile picture and banner image which will be viewable publicly – as well as an optional “bio” section which is publicly viewable as well!

Using the Right Settings as a Camgirl / Adult Creator

To ensure you’re connecting with the right people on Discord, you’ll want to make sure you’ve optimized your settings to your preferences. Due to the explicit nature of adult work – Discord may automatically filter DMs if you don’t change your settings. In order to make sure that your fans can message you and reach out to you, you’ll want to make sure that under “Content & Social” in your settings you’ve got “Direct Message Spam” set to “Do Not Filter” as well as making sure you have all of the toggles set to “Show” for messages from friends, others, and server channels.

Setting up a Video or Audio Call

Once you’ve added a user as a friend (by going to Friends > Add Friend and entering their username) when your friend request is approved you’ll be able to chat and video or audio call. In order to initiate a video or audio call – you’ll open their direct message and on the top right of the screen there are various icons including audio call, video call, pinned messages (great for if you need to save something important in your chat), add friends to DM (yep, you can offer group shows with other models or with multiple fans!), and hide user profile. Starting a video call will immediately open up your webcam and ring them so don’t press the call button until you’re ready for the show!

Adjusting your Webcam/Mic Settings in Discord

Under “Voice & Video” in your settings you can select your preferred input device (your microphone) and output device (speaker or headphones) as well as your preferred webcam. Once you’ve set your settings for your microphone and webcam you can also scroll down and adjust your noise suppression – the Krisp noise suppression is really good and helps your microphone sound so much better if you have background noise in your streaming room! During video calls you’ll also be able to change your settings from within the call if needed but it will make your calls much easier if you set them in your Voice & Video settings beforehand.

Expand the Usability of Discord and Create a Server for your Community

Discord offers a lot more than just messaging and video/audio calls. You can create your own Discord server that you can utilize to offer updates to your fans, chat with them, etc. Many creators that are Discord savvy utilize servers as a way to post updates to their fans about upcoming cam shows, new video releases, new fanclub releases, special sales, and more. Your server can have many different “channels” in it where you can separate the conversation topics. Some creators even host gaming sessions or movie nights with their fans!
