Question: Are the girls on Chaturbate live right now?

Answer: Yes, mostly but with 3 or 4 exceptions

Watch the football Live?

Like to see a hockey game Live?

Watching the game on Live TV makes it better, knowing that what you are seeing is happening right now.

If you have ever looked for cute Asian cam girls on PornHub you’ll know there is no shortage of videos that are so hot it is hard to stop watching them. You can hit play on those videos and watch them again and again. Those are action replays then, they are not live.

Live porn is different though, and that is what cam girl sites such as Chaturbate are offering.

The live chat rooms on CB are, yes, live. Those girls are really broadcasting right now.

Well, maybe not exactly “now”.

Chaturbate broadcasts are delayed a few seconds ago because “live streaming” using current technology takes a few seconds to get the picture and sound from the girl to your PC or phone. That’s just how the internet works, and is the same for your football game “live” on cable where there is a few seconds delay.

It is the same for girls on Chaturbate, or any webcam site, unless you use Stripchat which has almost-instant video with their Ultra-low Latency option.

That is why when you tip a girl at CB her toy may not vibrate for several seconds after the yellow tip appears in the chat.

Conversely, the text chat message are pretty much instant, unlike video and audio which is delayed for as much as 20 seconds.

A delay that can be confusing if you don’t know about it.

But now you do.

If camgirls at Chaturbate are live most of the time when is it not live?

When are CB girls not live?

All the chat rooms on Chaturbate are supposed to be live, but there are 3 situations where it isn’t fully “live”, and another one situation where it may seem not live.

Three times when Chaturbate isn’t “Live”

  1. Rooms that are in BRB

Although they are not supposed to, some girls will leave their cams running while they go off and do something else. Perhaps they need to use the toilet, which is not allowed on cam at Chaturbate, though other sites do allow girls to take a leak live on cam.

Sometimes they will leave a piece of paper in view of the cam with “BRB” but other times a camgirl will put the text on her live video feed. BRB stands for Be Right Back and means she is not logging off, but just gone from in front of the camera for a second.

BRB stands for Be Right Back

Perhaps she is getting a pizza delivery from the door, and as we all know from porn that means she has to suck the delivery guy off as a tip so it may take a few minutes.

If you believe porn.

For whatever reason she isn’t live in front of the camera right now, so that is one type of “not live” you’ll see occasionally at Chaturbate.

Unlike at Bongacams where there is an official “Away” mode for this, at CB the girls just have to invent their own way of expressing that they are temporarily away from their camera.

2. Recordings

This one is not allowed in general, though there is no specific rule against it. The whole idea of CB is live streaming so when people are playing recordings of themselves they can get banned. If they are caught that is, they might not be unless people notice and complain.

3. Melody

Melody or projektmelody is a computer-generated girl who broadcasts on Chaturbate. Or at least the programmers and artists who have created her choose to broadcast. As that isn’t really a living human being I don’t consider her “Live”, but “she” still pleases a lot of people so if you are ok with what you are following then that’s cool too.

And finally, there is another type of room that while technically live and streams in real-time probably doesn’t feel like it when you go into the room.

4. Splitcam

What is splitcam?

That’s when a cam girl uses some software or hardware to make her webcam video into two or more parts, each of which goes to a different cam site. That in itself is ok, though against the rules in some places everybody does it sometimes.

The trouble is that it is still only one girl and she can’t split her attention that well between multiple chat rooms, and so inevitably will be more interactive on one than the other.

While she is technically live, it does feel like it from the point of view of being interactive and getting a chance to chat to her.

If you like that sort of thing, just watching and not interacting, then maybe Voyeur cams are a better bet for you anyway.

Now go visit the live, yes live and real-time right now, cams at Chaturbate.
