Skype has always been an attractive choice for camming. Everybody knows how to use it, the technology is robust and basically free for users. Skype-girl-camming has been a thing since the first girl did a nip-slip in a chat with her BF.
Today there is a range of sites that focus on organizing the Skype for the camming scene, being the directory and the middle-man between performers and viewers. LiveCamModels and CamLust are two I’ve reviewed, but there are others still to be looked at. These sites tend to handle billing and advertising but don’t do the heavy tech work of video streaming, which means they can charge less than regular cam girl sites.
Today SoulCams, which is about as regular a camgirl website as you can get, announced that they are working on integrating Skype into their offering. In what could be the first major overlap between independent Skype cam girl shows and website based privates they will offer a way to perform private shows using Skype.
Here is their full announcement:
New ways to broadcast
We understand, that our life is transforming and we spend more time in the virtual space. We also realise, that broadcasting on multiple channels is the key for success. Therefor [sic] we are proud to announce, that we are working on a very special project: we will be soon offering to host private shows on the Skype™ platform. We are in the final stages of testing and we will send more information once the feature is live. If you have questions about this new feature, do not hesitate to contact us.
Is this a valuable new trend, or is it putting too much reliance on a 3rd party video software which is owned by Microsoft?

Announced today that this new feature is ready!
“The sky(pe) is the limit!
We are glad to announce a super new feature we have been working on in the last few weeks: Skype™ private shows! Enjoy the convenience of Skype™ while having a private show with your favorite model. The best thing about it, that you can enjoy live shows on the go with your mobile phone or tablet in a very convenient way. Look for the Skype badge on the profile picture of the Models.
All you need to do is to add your Skype ID in the Members Area – Settings section (scroll down). When done, go to the profile page of the Model and add her to your Skype contacts. You can now call her on Skype whever the Model is available! Note: your account needs to have a positive token balance in order to view the Model’s Skype ID.
Let us know if you have questions, need help or have suggestions!
Happy camming! ”
Blurring the distinction between Skype camgirl sites and regular cam sites. Is this a positive trend? Let me know what you think and how it goes if you try it out!
And then not long after they announced the feature is no longer available.
“Please note that, as of 16 Nov, 2020, the Skype feature is no longer available on SoulCams. Of course, you still can go online and broadcast with your cam using our own streaming solution.”
That means if you want to do Skype cam girl calls you’ll have to go to an actual Skype site such as Skyprivate or Camlust.
