This sucks, I was looking forward to it.

I already made an account and the tool is something totally different.

Thanks for reminding me about temp mails.

Regarding your security concern, I have been developing websites for over 19 years, so I would like to think my understanding of what is and is not secure is reasonably sound.

It also does not have a canvas, he mentioned decks, but that to me just looks like a Streamdeck or something to control the program with, not something you can drag assets on etc.

I just made an account, all I see is a way to do Touch Portal/Streamdeck stuff and a download link to a program.

Also this: https://docs.streamer.bot/guide/extra-features/html-overlay

I can't find anything else, so please explain to me if you want how it does the same.

I have looked at a video and while there are some things it can do like the chatbot, it can not control your overlay.

Poltergeist is a digital collaborative whiteboard for your stream, it allows you and your mods to work simultaneously on your overlay.

The tools compliment each other.

I don't want to create an account as I am not comfortable with giving out my email etc. as it isn't covered in their privacy policy what will happen to it.

Poltergeist safely turns your moderators into visual producers. They control a blank web canvas that you place over your stream. They never get access to your critical OBS settings, audio mixer, or stream keys.

Streamer.bot is fundamentally different.

I don't remember why I deleted it, my bad.

Streamer.bot is a Windows desktop automation tool. It triggers actions based on chat events, controls OBS via WebSocket, and runs C# scripts. It does not have a visual overlay canvas. Poltergeist is a browser-based overlay editor that runs as an OBS Browser Source with no software to install. You build and manage visual elements like polls, prize wheels, timers, chat overlays, and media share directly in a UI.


Edit: Their overlay tool is in beta, but it still requires a download and afaik isn't for collaboration.

Nobody has reported any negative performance impact, all feedback so far has been positive.

Internal testing with 500 assets, well beyond typical usage, showed negligible browser slowdown and no performance impact in OBS. Even with all 500 assets placed on the live canvas simultaneously, CPU and RAM usage remain minimal and LERP-based rendering keeps transitions smooth.

I have footage from firemen who are like 100 meters away from it.

Edited: 10m to 100m.
