A Cams.com tool that also covers Waxed

Waxed, at waxed.net, is built on the same platform as Cams.com. Its live rooms, stored recordings and video pages are delivered by the same system, so the extension you install, the Cams.com Downloader, recognises Waxed streams on its own. Downloader for Waxed is that extension used on waxed.net; nothing needs to be configured for the second site.

It replaces screen-capture programs and separate recording apps. Captures are handled on your own computer and filed into their own folder automatically.

Live rooms versus stored videos

For either one, choose the quality first. The list is built from the variants in the HLS master manifest (resolution, bandwidth and frame rate) and normally reaches 1080p when the source offers it. HLS is converted to MP4 in the browser, while a direct MP4 source is kept as served.

You can begin from the button placed on the Waxed player, from the toolbar popup or from the right-click menu on the page or the video. A download manager shows how long the job has run and how many segments are done, and lets you cancel. When it finishes, the file lands in a dedicated subfolder of your Downloads directory.

Setting it up

Install the Cams.com Downloader in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave or Opera, then confirm your email with the one-time code it sends. After that, visiting waxed.net is enough for the controls to appear.

It also runs in Whale and Yandex. Supported systems are Windows, macOS and Linux, and it can be used worldwide. Neither Safari nor any mobile browser can run it.

Access rules it respects

• A model has to be broadcasting, and the room open to you, before a live stream can be captured.
• Stored videos behind a Waxed account or purchase requirement may be unavailable.
• Private and hidden shows cannot be recorded, and neither can any stream you could not already open.
• Bulk capture is outside what it is designed for.
• Quality never exceeds what the stream itself provides.
• An internet connection is needed throughout a live capture and while a download is processed.
• You need existing permission to view anything you save; site restrictions are left intact.

Browser permissions explained

• downloads: stores each finished MP4 on your device and keeps the in-page manager's progress accurate for live and stored jobs.
• storage: remembers activation status and your preferences locally between browser sessions.
• activeTab: lets it notice a supported Waxed page and attach player controls only in the tab in front of you.
• tabs: keeps track of an ongoing capture after you switch to another tab.
• scripting: collects player details, stream metadata and HLS variants from the Waxed page and hands your pick to the recorder.
• notifications: in builds that include it, reports capture progress or completion outside the popup, with processing still kept on your machine.

FAQ

Why does a Cams.com extension work on waxed.net?

Waxed runs on Cams.com's infrastructure, so its pages behave like cams.com pages to the extension. Install it, open a live or stored Waxed page, and start from the player button or the popup.

Besides live rooms, can I keep stored Waxed videos?

Yes. On a supported Waxed video page the available sources and qualities are listed, and the video is saved as MP4 in the same way as a live recording.

What is the best quality I can get from Waxed?

It depends on the stream's HLS master manifest. Usually several resolutions are listed, going up to 1080p when the source has it.

In what format do Waxed captures arrive?

Plain MP4, for live and stored content alike. HLS streams get converted to MP4 inside your browser; files that are already MP4 are kept exactly as they are.

Which subfolder collects my Waxed files?

In its own subfolder within your browser's default Downloads folder, where all captures are grouped.

Will it open a private or hidden Waxed show?

No. It only handles streams and videos already open to you. Private and hidden shows, fan-club content and other platform restrictions are not bypassed.

Is Downloader for Waxed limited to desktop browsers?

No. It is built for desktop Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Whale and Yandex on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Does Waxed footage leave my computer during capture?

No. Stream handling, recording and MP4 assembly run inside your browser and the files stay on your machine. Sign-in is done with a one-time code sent to your email.
