a background

At a trade show for the sector, a model demonstrates web broadcasting using a computer and video camera.

Jenny Ringley, a conceptual artist, is regarded as the first camgirl. Ringley started a website called "JenniCam" in 1996 while attending Dickinson College. Her webcam was set up in her dorm room, recording every minute of her movement. In her opinion, her website was merely a record of her life. Because she did not want to filter the events that were captured on camera, she occasionally appeared naked or engaged in sexual behavior, including masturbation and sexual activity. Then, these images were live streamed online. She split the access to her website's content between free and paid access two years later, in 1998.

A commercial website called AmandaCam was launched in 1998 as well. Similar to Ringley's, Amanda's website had several cameras around her home, which made it possible for visitors to observe her. However, Amanda made a significant early discovery that would have an impact on the camming industry for decades to come: that allowing viewers to chat with performers while they are online could significantly increase a website's popularity. Amanda made it a point to chat with her viewers for more than three hours each day in her members section. Since the early days of live webcasts by Ringley and Amanda, the phenomenon of camming has grown to become a multibillion-dollar industry, which has an average of at least 12, 500 cam models online at any given time, and more than 240, 000 viewers at any given time.
