Collaborative OBS control for stream teams

Your stream has a backstage now.

Give trusted mods and producers a shared browser canvas connected to one OBS Browser Source. Stage GIFs, clips, images, text, and audio—then move them on-screen in real time. OBS receives only a view of the output; control stays inside the authenticated studio.

One OBS source.
Your whole team.

↗
01

Connect the canvas

Drag one view-only OBS Link into OBS. It displays the output but cannot upload assets, move layers, or enter the studio.

◎
02

Invite your team

Whitelist trusted Twitch identities and assign clear Moderator or Contributor roles.

●
03

Move moments live

Prepare everything backstage, then drag it into the ON SCREEN frame when the timing is right.

No remote desktop access. No OBS plugin. Your team only sees the canvas you invite them to.

Build the moment

Assets, live stage, and layer stack stay visible together.

01 / 03

Your stream stays under your control

Your team gets freedom.
You keep control.

Backstage Canvas limits each person to the workspace and permissions you choose. OBS links can be revoked, sessions can be removed, and emergency controls remain close.

◎

Streamer-controlled access

Only the Streamer decides who can enter the canvas and whether each teammate is a Moderator or Contributor.

◈

Private media

Assets stay in private object storage and flow through authenticated application routes.

⌁

View-only OBS access

The Browser Source URL can only display the output. It cannot add assets or control the canvas, and its token can be rotated at any time.

↺

Emergency controls

Freeze, blank, mute, restore, and save scenes when every second matters.

Clear boundaries

Trust people.
Not guesswork.

Only invite people you trust. Backstage Canvas makes the difference between roles explicit before anyone touches the stream.

Be deliberate: a Moderator can intentionally place media and audio on your stream. Contributor access is the safer choice when someone only needs the existing library.

The honest questions

Before you connect
anything to OBS.

Does this replace StreamElements, 7TV, or my alerts?＋

No. Keep your existing alerts, emotes, scenes, and bots. Backstage Canvas adds a team-operated live media layer alongside them.

Can my team control my entire OBS installation?＋

No. OBS receives a view-only Browser Source. Invited teammates control only the authenticated Backstage Canvas workspace and only the actions allowed by their role.

What does Twitch login access?＋

Backstage Canvas requests basic Twitch identity so it can match the permanent account ID you whitelisted. It does not request chat, moderation, or channel-management scopes.

Where are uploaded files stored?＋

Uploaded assets are stored privately and served through authenticated application routes. They are not placed in a public media gallery.

What if an OBS link is exposed?＋

The OBS link is only a view-only output viewport. It cannot upload assets, move layers, or enter your canvas. The Streamer can still rotate the Browser Source token to immediately revoke the previous URL.

Does it work on Linux, macOS, and Windows?＋

Yes. The Browser Source URL can be copied on any platform, and the native drag handoff is designed to work across current desktop browsers and OBS installations.

Invite-only pilot program

feel alive.

Backstage Canvas is currently being tested with a small group of Twitch streamers. Pilot access is free in exchange for honest feedback.
