How to Record From CameraPrive: A Quick Guide

Record public CameraPrive shows with the CaptureGem desktop app on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You don't need a CameraPrive account.

1. Install CaptureGem

CaptureGem is free to download and use, and you don't need an account. Download CaptureGem for your computer, or update to the latest version, then:

• Windows: right-click the .zip file, choose Extract All, and run CaptureGem.exe from the extracted folder, not from inside the zip. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, click More info, then Run anyway. When Windows Firewall asks, allow CaptureGem.exe and recorderd.exe.
• macOS: open the .dmg file, drag CaptureGem into your Applications folder, and open it from there.
• Linux: extract the archive, make the AppImage executable with chmod +x, and start CaptureGem with the included launcher.sh.

2. Copy the room link

Open the model's room and copy the address from your browser's address bar, such as https://cameraprive.com/br/room/model_username. The username is the last part of the address, so links without /room/, such as https://cameraprive.com/br/model_username, work too. Use the username from the address, not the display name shown in the room.

3. Add the stream

1. On the Record tab, paste the link into Enter URL or Username in the Add Stream panel. CaptureGem selects CameraPrive for you. You can also choose CameraPrive under Select Website and type just the username.
2. Leave Monitor Only off so the stream is saved.
3. Click Add Stream.

4. Record the show

If the model is in a public show, the status changes to Recording within a few seconds. Otherwise the Status column tells you why:

• Private: the model is in a private show.
• Offline: the model is offline, or no room exists at that address. A misspelled username also shows Offline, so check the spelling if a model you know is live stays offline.
• Errored: the room could not be checked or recorded.

Hover over a status to see more detail, including the reason for an Errored status. Select a model to see its Actions, such as End Recording and Open Video Folder.

Try it free, then upgrade for full shows

The free version is enough to check that recording works on your computer before you pay for anything.

• Free: saves up to 5 minutes per recording and lets you add up to 10 models. It records a model only if they're live when you add or start them, so start the recording again if the model was offline.
• Premium: removes those limits and adds auto-record, which starts recording whenever the model comes online and restarts after a disconnect. See Premium plans.

Auto-record (Premium): select the model on the Record tab, click Modify Auto Record under Actions, choose Record Always, and click Confirm. To auto-record every model you add, turn on Auto Record All Newly Added Models in Settings.

5. Find your recording

When a recording ends, CaptureGem converts it into a video file; long recordings take a little while. Then:

• Open the Review tab to play, trim, tag or delete it.
• Or click Open Video Folder on the Record tab to open the folder it was saved in.

Recordings are saved as MP4 files by default. With Premium, each file is up to 60 minutes long by default, and auto-record starts the next file straight away. You can change the save location, the file length (Cap Video Segments at Duration (Minutes)) and the file container in Settings.

CameraPrive notes and troubleshooting

• Show ends or turns private while recording: CameraPrive closes the public room session, so the recording stops with Errored, often with "CameraPrive public room session ended" in the tooltip. That's expected. The part recorded before that is kept and converted as usual, and auto-record starts a new recording when the public show is back.
• "failed to initialize CameraPrive room …": CaptureGem couldn't read the room page. Check that the room opens in your browser and try again. If it keeps happening for every model, CameraPrive may have changed its site; update CaptureGem.
• "failed to authorize CameraPrive HLS …": CameraPrive's chat server didn't hand CaptureGem the public video stream. If the message ends with "room does not advertise HLS playback", the room isn't offering the kind of stream CaptureGem records. Try again later.
• "No probed video resolutions available": Update CaptureGem to the latest version. After an update, CaptureGem tries recordings that failed to convert once more, and you can retry them yourself in Queue Status > Unfinished recordings.
• Quality: CaptureGem records the best quality the stream offers. When a show comes in more than one quality, you can set a lower limit for CameraPrive under Max Resolution Per Site in Settings > Advanced Settings.

If a recording keeps failing, update CaptureGem to the latest version, check that the stream plays in your browser, and ask in our Discord community. Premium members can also send a failed recording to support.
