How do I file a DMCA takedown through Chaturbate?
Chaturbate recommends that you first send a DMCA report directly to the site hosting the content. Most of these sites have a DMCA takedown form linked at the bottom of their homepage. If you need more help, use Chaturbate's DMCA Takedown Request Form:
- Check that your contact email and Chaturbate username are correct.
- Give the exact URL of each stolen photo or video, not a search results page.
- Make sure the links show your Chaturbate broadcasts and not unrelated content.
- Complete the form, tick the accuracy box, e-sign and submit.
Chaturbate's DMCA team then reviews the request and replies. Source: DMCA on Chaturbate
How do I copy the right URL for a takedown?
- Video: right-click the video, choose "Copy video URL" and paste it into your list.
- Photo: right-click the photo, choose "Copy image address" (not "Copy image link") and paste it into your list.
The URL has to display the actual video or image you want removed. Source: My content is being used on another site

Why does my Chaturbate room appear on other websites?
Chaturbate works with third-party affiliate sites that show live broadcasts in real time, not recordings, to promote the rooms. All Chaturbate accounts are opted in to this automatically. To opt out, open the Settings & Privacy tab and set "Appear on network sites" to NO. Your live stream is then no longer syndicated, which may mean less traffic to your room.
If an affiliate site keeps images of your broadcast more than 24 hours after your last stream, or carries personal references to your profile that you want removed, submit the direct URLs through the DMCA Takedown Request Form. Source: DMCA on Chaturbate
What if a site ignores the takedown notice?
Chaturbate says it is often successful, but some sites ignore its requests and keep publishing. Chaturbate does not claim ownership of your shows. They are your property, so you as the copyright owner are the only party with the legal right to take further action. If you do, Chaturbate offers to provide information to support it.
