Camila is a modern web app. We work on every major browser updated in the last two years.
Supported browsers
| Browser | Minimum version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome (desktop, Android) | Last 2 major | Best support, least quirks |
| Edge (Windows, Mac) | Last 2 major | Same engine as Chrome — works identically |
| Firefox | Last 2 major | Excellent support; may need media.autoplay setting tweaks for new accounts |
| Safari (Mac) | 16+ | Fully supported |
| Safari (iOS) | 16+ | Fully supported, including Apple Pay |
| Brave | Last 2 major | Works; some "shields" can interfere with chat — see below |
| Samsung Internet (Android) | 21+ | Works |
| Opera | Last 2 major | Works; built-in VPN may slow streams |
Browsers we don't support (these may partially work but expect issues):
- Internet Explorer of any version (deprecated since 2022)
- Old Android System WebView shipped with Android < 11
- Pre-2022 Safari on macOS Big Sur or earlier
- Tor browser — geo-blocking and our anti-fraud system flag Tor traffic; you can browse but most actions (tipping, payments, DMs) won't work
System requirements
Watching HD:
- Any computer from 2018 or newer with 4 GB+ RAM
- Stable connection at 5+ Mbps download for 720p, 8+ Mbps for 1080p
- A graphics card or integrated GPU with H.264 hardware decoding (standard since 2015)
Watching mobile:
- Phone from 2020 or newer
- iOS 16+ or Android 11+
- 3 GB+ RAM (Android lower-RAM phones hit memory limits in long sessions)
Broadcasting (models):
- Computer from 2020 or newer with 8 GB+ RAM
- Webcam at 1080p with hardware encoding (Logitech C920 / Brio recommended)
- Stable upload at 6+ Mbps for 720p, 10+ Mbps for 1080p
- Wired ethernet preferred over WiFi
Browser shields and extensions that interfere
A few extensions are known to break Camila:
- uBlock Origin / AdBlock Plus with default lists — blocks our chat WebSocket and tip pixel. Add
camila.liveto the allowlist. - Brave Shields at default level — same problem; switch shields to Standard or off for camila.live.
- NoScript / ScriptSafe — Camila is a JavaScript app; nothing works without scripts.
- Privacy Badger — sometimes blocks our analytics; doesn't break the platform but can hide moderator badges in chat.
- HTTPS Everywhere — fine, redundant since 2023 (we're HTTPS-only) but won't break anything.
- Translation extensions — modify the page, sometimes break the chat input. Disable on camila.live.
- VPN browser extensions — can route you through a region where Camila is restricted. If a model says "I can't see you in chat", check your VPN.
What if I can't update my browser
If you're on a work computer that locks browser updates, or an old phone, you can still:
- Use the audio-only player mode (works on much older browsers)
- Browse profiles, send tips, and read DMs via our HTML-only fallback page (no JavaScript required) at
camila.live/lite - Top up CX through the same fallback page
The lite version doesn't have live video, but it's a usable Camila experience even on a Kindle e-reader or a 2010-era netbook.
Testing your setup
Run through camila.live/test before going live or if streams keep failing. The test page checks:
- Browser engine and version
- Network speed and latency to our nearest data centre
- Codec support (H.264, VP9, AV1)
- WebSocket connectivity (chat / tipping / toy commands)
- Camera and microphone access (if you grant permission)
The test takes 30 seconds and gives you a green-light or specific error to fix.
