Private shows
While you're live, a fan books your stream for themselves – paid per minute from their balance. Others can watch as spies for less, or wait until the stream is public again.

For creators: offering private shows
In your stream dashboard, tab Private shows (?stream=dashboard&tab=private):
- Offer private shows while I'm live – the offer shows at your player only while you stream.
- Price per minute – in SOL (0.01–10) or fixed in USD (0.50–500, paid in SOL at the rate of the moment the show is requested).
- First block – 5, 10 or 15 minutes, paid when you accept. After that the show is paid 5 minutes at a time.
- Spies – a lower price per minute for viewers who watch the private show without taking part (0 = no spies). Spies hear the sound – off by default: they see the picture only.
A fan's request pops up under your player with their name – Accept or Decline within 60 seconds. Once the first block is paid, your stream turns private:
- the fan who booked sees and hears you, and your stream chat is just the two of you;
- everybody else sees a blurred picture with Private show running, can Watch as spy (if you allow spies) or ask to be told when you're public again – and the chat says Chat is private right now;
- the bar under your player shows 1 private · 3 spies · 0.9 SOL so far and End show. You can end it any time; it also ends when the fan's paid time is over or one of you leaves. Then the stream is public again at once.
You earn per minute like for every sale – from the buyer and from every spy: the platform fee and – if you were invited – the agent share come out of it (see Pricing & fees). Sales lists Private show with …, N min and Spy: …, N min (see Sales & payouts).
If your stream drops, nothing is booked while it's offline; the show ends when it isn't back within a minute.
For fans: booking a private show
While a creator streams and offers it, the player shows Private show ·
If your balance runs low you get Top up to continue about a minute before your paid time ends; without a top up the show ends when the paid time is over. Either side can end the show at any time. Shows you paid for are listed in Orders.
Watching as a spy
While a private show runs, Watch as spy ·
Notify me when public again tells you in your notifications when the show is over – and as a push on your devices if you follow the creator with the bell on all or live (see Following creators).
Good to know
- Watermark: the buyer's handle – a spy's own handle – moves across the picture on their screen. Shows are not recorded by us; no website can stop a screen recording, but the handle makes a recording traceable.
- Report or block: the ⋮ menu in the bar has Report … (a note for our team) and Block … and end the show. Members you ignore or banned from your stream chat can't book a show or spy.
- One private show at a time per stream, one booking at a time per fan.
