#83From what I've gathered from reading over the years, this is actually potent and a dangerous game for the participants. Specifically, it can lead to personal bonds that aren't actually warranted by any good reason. Some may assume that this is some unconditionally good thing. It isn't.

I am curious, what is this phenomenon called?
EDIT: I believe this is called "Eye Gazing". https://www.scienceofpeople.com/making-eye-contact
Look for the section "How Eye Gaze Deepens Emotional Connection"

If you don't want to potentially cause people to get into serious trouble I would caution you to do anything that reveals the IP address or any other information about the participants. I've run a cam site (ww.com/camarades.com) for close to two decades and the privacy of your participants should be your very first and top concern.
I pushed a change to route everything through my server for the time being. Thanks for flagging.
YW and thank you/props for being this responsive.
