How do private shows work on Chaturbate and Stripchat?

How do I start a private show on Chaturbate?
On desktop, click "Start private show" below the broadcaster's camera window. A box appears with the cost in tokens per minute, the minimum number of minutes, and whether you will receive a recording. On mobile there is no pop-up, and the same information is shown next to the request button.
Chaturbate's advice is to talk to the broadcaster first and get their agreement before you start, so that you both know what the show will be. Source: How do I start a private show?
