How to Host Your Webcam on Whatsupcams.com
Whatsupcams.com lets you submit a live camera feed so it appears alongside its existing directory of world webcams — from the Pyramids and Venice to Bohinj, Bibione, and Zagreb Zoo. The site presents three paths on its homepage: WATCH (view existing cams), HOST A CAM (share your view), and ADVERTISE (promote on webcameras). If your goal is to get your own camera listed, start with the HOST A CAM route; if you also want branding or buyer visibility, the site points to a Premium option described as "Your View Your Brand."
What hosting on Whatsupcams actually means
Based on the site's own framing, hosting is a visibility arrangement rather than a private streaming tool. The homepage states: "What's Up Cams connects you to your potential buyers located at the most beautiful locations all over the world." That positions a hosted cam as a way to reach an audience already browsing location-based live feeds, not as a way to stream privately to people you invite.
The directory is organized by country, region, and location — for example Slovenia / Upper Carniola / Bohinj, Italy / Veneto / Bibione, or Croatia / Zagreb County / Zagreb-Center. A hosted cam is expected to fit that structure so viewers can find it by place.
The two hosting routes
| Route | Entry point | What it appears to offer |
|---|---|---|
| Standard host | HOST A CAM | Share your view with the world; listed in the live webcam directory |
| Premium host | Whatsupcams Premium – Your View Your Brand | Hosting plus branding/promotion framing |
The Premium page title — "Your View Your Brand" — signals that the paid route is aimed at people who want their name or brand attached to the view, not just the feed itself. The site's pricing signals mention "premium" but do not publish amounts, payment platforms, or terms in the available material, so treat cost and conditions as things to confirm on the Premium page itself rather than assume.
Steps to get your cam hosted
- Go to the HOST A CAM entry on whatsupcams.com. This is the site's own label for the submission path, so use that rather than the WATCH or ADVERTISE sections.
- Prepare your camera feed. You need a live view of a real location that fits the directory's geographic logic (country / region / place). The existing listings are all named by location, so a cam without a clear place identity has no obvious slot.
- Decide standard vs. Premium. If you only want the feed listed, the standard host path matches that. If you want your view tied to a brand or used for promotion, the Premium page is the relevant one — check it for what branding includes and what it costs.
- Submit and wait for placement. The site curates its Latest and Featured sections, so listing is not automatic; expect your cam to be reviewed and categorized before it appears.
- Verify it's live. Once listed, check that your cam shows under the correct country/region and that the feed loads for viewers, not just for you.
Common snags
- No published price for Premium. The only pricing signal is the word "premium" and the Premium page link. Don't assume it's free or that a price is listed — open the page and read the terms.
- Location naming matters. Every example in the directory follows Country / Region / Location. If your cam can't be pinned to a place, it may not fit the format.
- "Host" here means listed, not self-serve streaming. The site is a directory and promotion surface; it does not describe private streaming, embed codes, or viewer controls in the available material.
- Branding is a Premium feature. If exposure for a business is the point, the standard host path alone may not deliver what you want.
Who this suits
Hosting on Whatsupcams fits you if you already run a fixed camera at a scenic, public, or notable location and want it discovered by people browsing live views by place. It fits less well if you need a private stream, a paid viewer product, or guaranteed placement — none of those are described on the site. For brand exposure, go straight to the Premium page and confirm scope and cost before committing.
