For adults aged 18+ only.
Getting started: a practical checklist
Prepare your privacy, equipment and boundaries before you create an account or go live.
1. Decide your boundaries
Write down what you will and will not do, how long you want to work and which personal details must remain private.
2. Separate your identity
Choose a stage name and use a separate email address, browser profile and social accounts. Avoid recognizable backgrounds, documents and location clues.
3. Prepare the basics
A stable internet connection, clear lighting, a reliable camera and good sound matter more than expensive equipment.
4. Read the platform rules
Only adults aged 18 or over may register. Chaturbate performs identity and age verification and sets the platform rules and payout conditions.
5. Start slowly
Test your setup, use moderation tools and stop whenever something does not feel right. Never let viewers pressure you into sharing personal information.
