Most overlays show everything or nothing. Stream Director gives you a professional production workflow.
Every message appears whether it's a thoughtful question or spam. You lose the best moments in the noise.
Mid-stream disconnects with no warning. You're live, your audience is watching, and the overlay stops working.
You're locked to your streaming PC. A co-director or moderator on a tablet picking messages isn't possible.
Paid messages deserve special treatment. Most tools display them the same as any other chat message.
Cookie-cutter overlays that look like everyone else's stream. No way to match your brand without deep CSS knowledge.
Once the stream ends, everything disappears. No record of what was shown or what your audience asked.
Built for streamers who treat their show like a professional broadcast.
Tablet-optimised queue manager. See all incoming messages, pick the best ones, and put them on screen with a single tap. Works on any device with a browser.
Broadcast, Lower Third, Social Stream, Question Card, Quote Card, Split Bar, Side Panel, and Ticker Bug — each fully customisable to match your brand.
Copy your unique overlay URL into OBS as a browser source. Transparent background, WebSocket connection, zero latency between tap and screen.
Set a display duration and Stream Director automatically cycles through your queue. Start it and focus on presenting — the overlay manages itself.
Paid messages are highlighted in the queue and play an airport-style chime when shown on screen. Never miss a supporter's message again.
Pre-write recurring messages — subscribe reminders, sponsor callouts, social links — and push them to the overlay and YouTube chat instantly mid-stream.
Filter your inbox by platform, questions, paid messages, members, moderators, new viewers, links, emoji-only, repeated messages, and more — in real time.
Every incoming message is tagged at arrival — questions, greetings, links, repeats, new viewers, @mentions, and emoji-only messages — without any setup.
Claude Haiku classifies every message with semantic labels: location, request, praise, complaint, aviation content, NZ registrations, and more. Tags appear as badges in real time.
Block individual words, phrases, and specific authors. All filtering happens at ingestion — blocked content never reaches the queue.
Automatically show messages from paid supporters above a threshold, new members, moderators, VIP viewers, or messages containing a specific hashtag or keyword.
Add channel partners, sponsors, and regulars to your VIP list. Their messages auto-display instantly while everything else waits for your approval.
Blocked words always run first. Rate limiting prevents screen flooding. Per-author cooldowns stop repeated triggers. One-click emergency stop disables all rules instantly.
Pre-built detection rules for NZ aircraft registrations (ZK-XXX), airport hashtags (#NZQN, #NZCH), and Super Chat mentions — installed in one click.
Connect your YouTube Live or Twitch channel. Messages flow in automatically, filtered for blocked content before reaching your queue.
Hiding a message in the Director Console also deletes it from your YouTube live chat — keeping your stream clean on both ends simultaneously.
Invite moderators and producers to your workspace. A dedicated moderator curates the queue from their own tablet while you focus on presenting.
Every stream session is recorded — messages shown, duration, engagement. Review what worked and what didn't after every broadcast.
