How does hourly pay work?

Hourly pay is extra, on top of call earnings: you're paid for every minute you're live during business hours (16:00–22:00 Los Angeles time), even when nobody is calling.

To apply: record your intro video first (Profile → Intro video), then press "Apply for hourly pay" in your profile. The team looks at your video and sets your hourly rate (it starts at $1 per hour).

Rules while on hourly pay:

• Stay on camera — your face in the frame, alone.
• Keep the Studio (or call) tab open and in front.
• Use Chrome or Edge so the camera check can run.

Pay is counted in 5-minute blocks. If a block fails (no person on camera, more than one person, tab not in front, camera check not running), that block isn't paid — Wallet → Activity shows "Hourly pay not counted" and why.
