BongaModels has added Light Mode to its mobile console for models and studios that stream from a phone. The new option provides a bright, clear interface that makes controls and other on-screen elements easier to see in daylight and other brightly lit environments.

The update gives mobile users a choice between Light Mode and the existing Dark Mode. This lets streamers choose an interface based on their surroundings and personal viewing preference.

How to change modes

Users can switch between Light and Dark modes at any time. The Light/Dark toggle is located in the mobile console’s Settings.

Selecting Light Mode changes the console to the brighter interface. Users who prefer a darker screen, including when working in lower-light conditions, can return to Dark Mode through the same Settings toggle.

Streamate will hold its Best Face Forward contest from September 13 through September 19, based on GMT. The event rewards the top 500 performers and also offers separate bonuses to people who meet the streaming-time requirement.

How the ranking works

A performer's position will be based on eligible earnings from their best three streaming days during the contest. The remaining four days will not count toward the final rank. This gives performers room for a slow day or time away while still allowing them to improve their result by streaming on more days.

The contest leaderboard includes a countdown that shows when the event begins in each local time zone.

Bonus awards

Eligibility and payment schedule

The ranking uses the amount members spend on a performer during the contest. Media sales, subscription charges, and Cammodel earnings are excluded. Streamate will verify the rankings when the event ends. Fraudulent earnings can lead to disqualification and may result in an account suspension or closure.

Rewards are expected to be added to performer earnings within one week after the contest and then paid on the regular payment schedule. Streamate also suggests telling regular viewers when a performer will be online and using #smcontest when promoting shows on social media.

ImLive has announced a Pleasure Lounge Party running from Friday, September 11 at 12:01 a.m. through Sunday, September 13 at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time. The weekend event centers on a playful adult lounge theme and gives hosts another way to attract viewers to their rooms.

The party concept

ImLive encourages hosts to create a fun late-night setting with playful outfits, themed room details, and light roleplay. The source announcement suggests using frills, teasing, and a bold attitude to turn casual visitors into active viewers. Hosts can choose their own character for the event, from a sweet personality with a secret side to a confident party leader.

Awards of up to $150

Hosts can compete for awards worth up to $150. A strong entry should present a complete theme rather than relying on only one part of the show. Room design, clothing, photography, participation, and member support all matter.

How to participate

• 1. Decorate the room to fit the Pleasure Lounge theme.
• 2. Select an outfit that matches the party.
• 3. Create a party photo designed to stand out.
• 4. Participate in as many of the available parties as possible.
• 5. Encourage members to vote for the host.

The event combines visual presentation with audience participation, giving hosts the full weekend to build their theme and collect votes.
