Semi-free Poltergeist: Remote Control Overlay & Mod Tools

Animate multiple elements at once​

The Animate action now supports selecting more than one element. Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) while clicking to pick multiple.

A new Playback option controls how they fire:

• Animate all selected together: every chosen element fires at the same time.
• Animate one at random: a single element from the selection plays each time the trigger fires.

Play multiple sounds (one at random)​

The Play Sound action now supports selecting multiple sounds. Each time the trigger fires, one plays at random, so the same alert never gets stale. Hold Ctrl/Cmd to select more than one.

Cleaner element names​

Element IDs are now shorter while staying unique, making it easier to find and pick the element you want.

Media Share Now Plays Twitch & Kick Clips​

Media Share is no longer YouTube-only. Viewers can now spend Bits or redeem Channel Points to put Twitch and Kick clips on your screen, right alongside YouTube videos. Same queue, same approval flow, same cost-per-second controls. Paste the clip link and it just plays.

• Twitch Clips: Drop any https://clips.twitch.tv or https://twitch.tv/.../clip/... link and it plays in the queue like any other request.
• Kick Clips: Kick clip links now work too, just link to https://kick.com/xxx/clips/...
• YouTube still works: Videos and Shorts are fully supported, with titles auto-fetched as before.
• Unified queue: Clips share the same pending, approve, and skip flow, so moderators manage everything from one panel.
• Your rules: Play length still follows your cost-per-second for Bits and your seconds-per-redeem for Channel Points.

Viewers just type !play [link] with their Cheer, or paste the link straight into the Channel Point prompt.

Follow & Channel Point Alerts Go Fully Native​

Follow alerts now run natively through the Poltergeist backend on both Twitch and Kick, with no external chat bot required. Detection happens automatically the moment someone follows, so tools like Botrix or StreamElements are no longer part of the setup. Channel point reward redemptions now drive alerts on Kick too, matching what has long been available on Twitch.

• No external bot: Follow alerts fire on their own. Set the follow message in the Event Alert Box and it just works.
• ️ No modding required: A bot no longer needs moderator status in the channel for follows to be detected.
• Kick Channel Points: Reward redemptions on Kick can now trigger Event Alerts and Trigger Studio actions, exactly like Twitch.

Anyone who set up follow or channel point alerts before this update should log out and back in once so the new permissions can be granted.

Native follow alerts are available on all plans. Channel point and Trigger Studio actions remain part of the Broadcast Suite.

Trigger Studio: Put Your Viewers in Control​

Trigger Studio is a brand new automation panel that turns viewer activity into automatic on-screen moments. Map an event to an action and it fires by itself, with no moderator needed. Open it from the Trigger Studio button in the right sidebar, name your trigger, pick what fires it, then pick what happens on screen.

• Fires from anything: Channel Point redemptions, Bits, Subs, Gifted Subs, Raids, or Follows. Bits and gifts can require a minimum amount, so 500 bits can do something bigger than 5.
• Spin the Wheel: A redemption can spin one of your Prize Wheels on its own.
• Play a Sound: Fire any clip from your Soundboard.
• Animate an Element: Play a keyframe animation on any element you choose.
• Shake the Screen: Subtle, Medium, or Heavy. This plays in your OBS overlay only and never disturbs your dashboard.
• Pop an Image or GIF: Flash an image or GIF on the overlay at a size and duration you set.

Every trigger has a Test button so you can preview it instantly, and a small popup on your dashboard confirms each time one fires while the effect plays on your overlay.

The Starter Kit includes 1 trigger so you can try it out. The Broadcast Suite unlocks unlimited triggers.

⏱️ Timeline & Animation​

• Multi-Select Keyframes: You can now hold Shift + Drag on the animation timeline to box-select multiple keyframes at once.
• Fixed a network sync issue that caused looped, auto-reversing animations to briefly stutter or "rubber-band" when resetting.

Moderator Limits Revamped​

Moderator limits have been completely updated for expired Broadcast Suite subscriptions and 7-Day Trials. Previously, reverting to the Free tier (which has a 1-moderator limit) meant the system automatically deleted any excess moderators. This proved to be a frustrating experience.

No More Deletions​

Moving forward, excess moderators are no longer deleted. Instead, they are simply placed in a locked state. A red LOCKED (PRO) badge will appear next to their names in the dashboard, temporarily pausing their access and editing abilities.

Instant Restoration​

Please note that only the broadcaster is required to pay for the Broadcast Suite; moderators do not need their own subscriptions. The moment a subscription is renewed or started, all locked moderators are instantly unlocked. Their exact permissions are automatically restored, completely eliminating the need to manually re-add anyone.

Kick Chatbot Integration​

Kick broadcasters can now fully utilise the Chatbot Builder!

• Custom Commands & Timers: Build custom chat commands, set up automated looping messages, and configure mod-only triggers that reply natively in your Kick channel.
• Chat-Driven Games: Your viewers can now interact with the Prize Wheel and Carnival Booth directly through Kick chat using commands like !spin or !throw.

The Chatbot Builder is available now for all Broadcast Suite users on Kick. Just click the "Chatbot Builder" button in the right sidebar to get started!

Twitch Auto-Clipping & Dashboard Polish​

A new clip command was added to the chatbot and the custom code widget no longer shows CPU lock when going to a different tab

• Auto-Clipping: You can now create automatic Twitch clipping commands (like !clip) directly in the Chatbot Builder! Just check the "Create Twitch Clip" box and add the {clip_url} variable to your bot's response to instantly drop the clip link in chat.
• Custom Widget Stability: Improved the background-tab handling for Custom HTML widgets. Widgets will no longer falsely trigger the frozen-crash warning if you switch away to a different browser tab.

More Customisable Alerts, Advanced Animations & Media Share with Channel Points​

The Alert Box and Animation Timeline have been significantly expanded to give your stream a massive visual upgrade. When editing your setup, you now have much finer control over exactly what triggers your alerts and how they physically move onto the screen.

For example, you can now set minimum and maximum thresholds. Want a different graphic and sound for 5 gifted subs versus 50? Just set the min/max limits on two different alert boxes, and the correct overlay will trigger automatically.

These core upgrades make it possible to build highly dynamic layouts, supported by new additions to Media Share and everyday workflow improvements.

• Channel Point Integration: The Alert Box and Media Share now fully support Twitch Channel Points. Type in the exact name of your reward to trigger custom graphics, or let viewers queue videos by pasting a YouTube URL directly into the reward prompt.
• Advanced Animation Physics: A new dropdown on your timeline keyframes lets you apply complex easing. Make your graphics glide smoothly, overshoot their targets, wobble elastically, or literally bounce into place.
• Secure Media Previews: Moderators now have a handy [Watch] link in the Media Share queue, allowing them to safely preview pending videos in a new tab before approving them for the stream.
• Faster Workflows: We’ve added an "Undo Stroke" button for the drawing tools and Mac users can now use the Backspace key to delete canvas items.

All new physics and threshold settings are completely optional, so your existing alerts and animations will continue to function exactly as they are without any extra setup.

Custom HTML, CSS & JS Widgets​

You can now build and display completely custom widgets directly inside Poltergeist! When you spawn a "Custom Code" asset from the left sidebar, you will get a dedicated text editor in the properties panel where you can paste your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

This makes it incredibly easy to add unique visuals to your stream without needing to find an external website to host them.

• Total Freedom: Write your own CSS animations, design custom goal bars, or paste in widget templates shared by other creators.
• Live Data: Use standard JavaScript to pull live data from the web to build your own weather displays, crypto price tickers, or custom countdowns.

The Custom Code asset is available now under the "Spawn Assets" menu. Just drop it in, paste your code, and click "Apply & Reload".
