Poltergeist is a production tool that allows streamers to offload overlay management to their moderators. It creates a collaborative environment where your trusted team can interact with your stream visualization in real time, without needing access to your streaming PC.

Experience true real-time collaboration where changes made in the dashboard sync instantly to your stream. You can grant moderators secure access via Twitch, Kick, or YouTube to manage your overlays, games, and sounds remotely. This keeps your OBS and PC completely secure while letting you track every change as it happens using the built-in Action Log.
Broadcast Control (Live & Staging):
Work safely off-air in a dedicated Staging Area, then push to air when it is ready. A single Push To Live button sends a finished graphic or alert straight to the stream, and Swap Live ⇄ Stage lets you flip what viewers see versus what you are building in real time.
Per-Layer Overlay URLs:
Each overlay URL can include only the canvas layers you choose. Add multiple Browser Sources in OBS with different layer combinations and control them independently per scene, all driven from a single Poltergeist canvas.
Total Layout Control:
Drag, drop, group, resize, and precisely align elements instantly, and rapidly clone elements with the Duplicate tool. Save your favourite complex layouts as Scenes and store styled elements as Presets for quick access. You can even control the entire show directly from your mobile device using touch controls.
Live Keyframe Animation & Auto-Scheduling:
Bring your overlays to life with a multi-track Animation Timeline, animating Position, Scale, Rotation, and Opacity to build professional lower-thirds, alerts, and motion graphics. Link animations to Event Alerts or mini-games to auto-play when triggered, or use the Auto-Scheduler to automatically fade assets like sponsor logos or watermarks in and out on a continuous looping timer.
Advanced Telestrator & Drawing Tools:
Draw directly on your screen to highlight gameplay or annotate live events, with an optional snap-to-grid for precision. Apply visual filters like Blur, Brightness, Saturation, Hue Shift, and chroma key green screen removal while organising assets on an infinite workspace.
Chatbot Builder:
Deploy a custom chatbot on Twitch and Kick with no external plug-ins. Create custom commands, timed auto-posts, and Channel Point redemption responses; set global and per-user cooldowns; gate commands behind Subscriber, VIP, or Moderator permissions; trigger soundboard audio; auto-generate Twitch clips; and use dynamic variables like {game}, {title}, and {uptime} to answer common viewer questions automatically.
Trigger Studio:
Turn viewer activity into automatic on-screen moments. Map Channel Point redemptions, Bits, Subs, Gifts, Raids, or Follows to actions that fire by themselves: spin a Prize Wheel, play a soundboard clip, fire an element animation, shake the OBS screen, or pop an image or GIF.
Event Alert Box:
Native alerts for Twitch and Kick Subs, Gift Subs, Raids, Bits, and Follows, with follow alerts powered directly by the Poltergeist Native Bot. Fully customisable with variables (e.g. {user}, {amount}), randomised GIFs, sounds, and auto-triggered animations.
Giveaways, Polls & Games:
Engage your audience with live chat-driven Polls (via !vote), random selections with a Prize Wheel, and chat-driven Carnival Booth mini-games (via !throw). Trigger TTS announcements and auto-log winners to on-screen To-Do lists.
Integrated Soundboard & TTS:
Trigger audio assets remotely right through your OBS browser source. Upload sound effects, create randomized audio pools, or use text-to-speech for giveaway winners, so your moderators can fire off the perfect sound at the exact right moment.
Media Share:
Let viewers request YouTube videos on stream using Twitch Bits and Cheers, with a fully synchronized video queue, strict moderator approval, skip controls, and auto-play to keep your broadcast safe.
Media Player & Browsers:
Display images with live chroma key, build image slideshows, play video files, or embed full website iFrames directly on stream.
Custom HTML/CSS/JS Widgets:
Build entirely unique visual elements on the fly. Paste your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into the dashboard to create custom animations, live data tickers, and personalised widgets without hosting them on an external website.
Productivity Utilities:
Equip your stream with interactive To-Do lists, chat-controlled Tally Counters (via !counter +), Timers (Stopwatch/Countdown), scrolling marquees, dynamic live text variables (e.g. {latest_sub}), auto-generating QR codes, Progress Goal bars that track Subs, Follows, and Bits in real time, and a live Event List feed that logs recent stream events as they happen.
Live Stream Chat:
Embed Twitch chat, Kick chat, or an automatically unified Combined Chat feed anywhere on your overlay, with source platform icons.
Enterprise Background Stream:
Embed a low-latency reference livestream behind the dashboard workspace to overlay graphics over a live video feed without mirroring it to OBS.

The Goal
The purpose of this tool is to enable live production capabilities, such as real time annotation and dynamic asset management, without the streamer needing to lose focus on their game or content.Link: https://poltergeist.cc/

How It Looks
Dashboard:OBS:
How it Works
- Generate your unique Overlay URL in the dashboard.
- Add a Browser Source in OBS Studio (1920x1080).
- Paste the URL.
- Your mods can now control that specific layer from their own browsers.
