ImLive Couples Review - Live Webcam Shows with Palyful Partners
If you want to raise the ante when it comes to NSFW video chat, we believe that couples webcam rooms sure is one way to go. Having live shows with duos means that you not only get to become the casting agent, but also direct the pair as you see fit. At the same time, you can make a cameo appearance - or choose to claim the spotlight and become the main attraction. You get to decide. Either way, we agreed that watching girl and guy shows proved to be double the fun!
In this ImLive couples review, our team uncovers all you need to know about this site including: membership costs; features and benefits; how the loyalty program can work for you; and the freebies you get for joining. We also pay respect to the fine selection of rooms for watching amateur or pro partners in live shows.

Editor's Impression of Couples Webcam Shows on ImLive.com
When you enter ImLive's Member Area, you get a true sense of just how vast this entertainment site really is. ImLive is more than just a website for Live Cams, offering members a top selection of Host Videos - content spawned by ImLive's hosts; all neatly indexed for easy browsing. Users are also given Free Teasers - up to 1 minute free clips of amateur & pro models across a mix of genres. Under the 'Host Video' label, is where you'll also find the My Content folder; a place to store your own recorded live shows; which can be rewatched, as much as you want. But aside from these kinds of extras, and the site's overall community appeal, it's really the mix of video chat rooms that gets our standing ovation.
And not just ours. Through its many years of broadcasting, ImLive has consistently captivated the imaginations of many (fans & industry moguls alike) and over time has been the recipient of numerous industry awards. It's most notable accomplishment to date, was winning the AVN Award (back in 2015) for Best Live Chat Website. What made this win so special, was that it was this site's 3rd win of this award in the past 5 years! ImLive has a winning formula (no doubt about it), and so long as it continues providing a great service with affordable pricing, this video chat site looks set to keep growing its fan base, and earning recognition at the highest levels.
Signup on ImLive
Registration on ImLive is simple and free. All you need to provide is: Email, Username & Password.
Members who have credits in their accounts in essence have unrestricted site access. With Credits, you gain entrance to private couples rooms; take control over remote-accessed toys (if the pair of models have any enabled); and send virtual gifts or tips to show them appreciation. With your account maxed up with Credits - you essentially have a license to thrill and be thrilled.
Moving Ahead
When it comes to browsing for hosts or rooms, ImLive has outstanding navigation regardless if you're accessing the site over PC or mobile phone. You get a variety of categories, plus sorting options. For quick access to the live partner shows, click on Other Categories > Couples. Note that this will bring up both straight and lesbian couples.
Of its many features, the ability to adjust the main browsing gallery to suite your style is undoubtedly practical. There are 3 different modes for viewing ImLive's models: List View (Classic), Tile View (Form) & Gallery View (Modern); each with its own advantages. In List View, you get a more than adequate sized image of the host, accompanied by a mini-bio about the babe, with a direct link to her full profile page. By the way, in all 3 browsing modes you get room previews, which is yet another premium feature provided gratis by ImLive.
As for doubling up with webcam duos for 2-way video action; rooms with available couples for live shows are labelled as Free Video Chat, whereas rooms with partners engaged in private roleplay sessions are indicated as Live Sex Video Chat.
Free Couples Video Chat - Play With Guys and Girls in Public Shows
While ImLive's rooms all have a stock standard setup as far as messaging is concerned, what really impressed our team was the playback window - that's large in size (by default). You can further adjust the image to full-screen by clicking on the screen icon (bottom left of the video); which is where the volume-set button is also situated.
ImLive's public chat rooms are outstanding locales for meeting up and flirting with promiscuous pairs. Regardless of your intentions, and in spite of the willingness details provided for on some of the profiles, we were unanimous that the open shows were still the best options for finding out if the partners (being viewed) would be done to partake in your unique & twisted fantasy.
When you decide to move ahead with confidential video chat, a popup window will appear with confirmation of the rates plus promotional offers (if any). Webcam couples can set their own live show fees, as well as their availability status.
Live Couples Webcam Shows - Private Video Chat
Irrespective if you choose a girl and guy for a private viewing, or if you prefer lesbian couples; all paid live shows include c2c and dual-audio free of charge. On top of that, the first 20 seconds of any paid performance are gifted by ImLive, and aren't charged for. Most couples stream with either SD or high quality (HQ) camera gear. However, ImLive has also begun to feature a number of HD rooms. They're not labelled, so you can't search for them - but if you have an eye for detail you'll know exactly which rooms are in HD when you happen to visit them.
During private encounters with partners, it's really up to the 3 of you to work out the particulars of a show. You could opt to play a passive role and watch on as the 2 consenting models perform, or be more active in the setup, and give each of the performers rehearsed direction. When you're paying for the experience, you generally get to make most of the decisions! In our experience, we found ImLive's couples to be amicable and ready to entertain most of our requests (especially the ones to do with humiliation).
As for overall costs, well - ImLive's reputation is built on the back of low cost video chat. And when you consider that both c2c and 2-way audio are included in the price for privates, this webcam site becomes a real no-brainer for budget entertainment. ImLive continuous to rank high among our top sites for cheap live shows.

ImLive provides users with a number of features (a few unique) in order to maximize your fortunes. There are also added benefits unlocked for active members who buy and spend ImLive Credits.
Discount Clubs - at ImLive, you will discover that a number of couples promote their own types of paid fan clubs.

These videos are a great way to keep tabs on the webcam duos that you're most interested in, or for discovering unseen amateur couples.
Multi-viewer - a signature ImLive feature; this mode allows you to view 6 different couples' rooms at the same time, and is a great way to browse duos for live shows. When you want to move on, click (or touch) the 'blue arrow' button, and 6 fresh couples webcams will automatically display.
