This site treats gender a little bit differently from other websites.
This is because you must choose your birth gender OR select trans (or couple, if you are a couple). You cannot be trans and select male, for instance.
Other than this, the sign up become Chaturbate model is rather quick.
You will need to complete the performer agreement if you want to finish, although you will not have to enter any payout information for your account at this stage.
Step 2: Configure Your Webcam
Once you have finished the Chaturbate model sign-up, you can start to stream your webcam.
You have to test it a little bit first, though.
When you hit the broadcast button, it will allow you to start configuring things. Make sure that you select any notification that appears to allow your cam to show.
Remember, the resolution of the cam will be dependent on your internet speed.
The faster your broadcast speed, the better the quality of the camera.
If you do not see anything and your cam is not recognised, then you may need to find webcam drivers for your broadcasting device.
Thankfully, the webcam manufacturer should have plenty of information on their website to allow you to do this. In most cases, you won't ever have to do this and when you broadcast yourself, it should work right away.
The configuration page should be easy to navigate.
Don't forget to close any pointless apps or browser tabs to ensure the best quality and resolution on your videos.
The less pressure on your internet connection, the better your chat experience will be!
Step 3: Age Verification
You must be 18 or older to register as a Chaturbate broadcaster, and you have to pass age verification before you can broadcast.
Chaturbate asks you to visit Broadcaster Registration, fill out the performer agreement and submit a scan or photo of your ID. The ID must be government-issued, current (not expired) and show your date of birth, a clear recent photo, your ID number and your legal name.

In order to earn real money with your webcam, you need to input your payment method. To do this, you can go to the settings page and select your payout information.
