To request a Cameo, you need to make an account and visit the Cameo Marketplace through the Cameo website or app, where you can sort the thousands of available celebrities based on category. Once you've chosen your celebrity, you'll fill out a request form where you describe what you want your Cameo talent to do, in a maximum of 250 characters. Cameo accepts direct payment via credit card — US residents using iOS can also purchase "Cameo credits" to store in their account and exchange for videos later. Once the request is completed, the Cameo talent has seven days to accept or deny the project. If accepted, the celebrity will record the video and Cameo will send a link to the video to the phone numbers and email addresses listed with the request. Users can download the video to keep forever and share however they like.  If the hired talent doesn't fulfill the request within a week, all charges will be restored to the buyer's wallet. Some Cameo celebrities also offer live video calls, though you can expect them to be more expensive than a standard Cameo. The Cameo app gives you the ability to chat with talent via direct messages as well. Chatting is a cheaper option if you just want to ask a celebrity a question or send a quick shout-out.
