For streamers

A track queue for music streams

Stream-Q is a service for streamers who listen to and rate their viewers' music live on Twitch, VK Video Live and YouTube. Tracks arrive through the stream page or a Telegram bot, get an audio analysis and line up in a queue, and you rate them by your own criteria — with judges, chat voting and OBS overlays.

    Rating criteria, free track limits, queue mode, intake rules. The dashboard has a first-stream checklist.

    Copy the link of an overlay or a whole scene and add it to OBS as a Browser source of the right size.

    Reports to artists

    After “End stream” the bot sends every artist a report: scores, a comment, the audio analysis and a timestamp in the recording.
Features

Everything you need for a track review stream

The service handles the routine: analysis, sorting, confirming donations and sending reports. All that's left is to listen and talk about music.

Analysis of every track

LUFS loudness, true peak, clipping, BPM, key with the Camelot code, real file quality and upscales, duplicates by sound, profanity in lyrics.

Loudness matching

The player brings tracks to −14 LUFS: a quiet demo isn't lost after a loud master, and viewers don't have to touch the volume.

Intake rules

Upscales, duplicates, overload, profanity, length — flag or hold back. Nothing is rejected automatically: the decision is yours.

Copyright check

Other people's releases are found by audio fingerprint and flagged before the stream — less risk of a strike.

Criteria and judges

Your own rating criteria, invited judges and audience judging via Telegram. The result is a weighted score.

Chat voting

Viewers rate a track with !1–!10 commands; the average shows on the overlay and goes into the artist's report.

Reports to artists

After the stream every artist gets a report with scores, a comment, the audio analysis and a link to the moment in the recording.

Channel statistics

How many tracks were sent and rated, the score distribution, genres, top artists, the share of donation tracks.

Streamers' lounge

A streamer directory, private messages, joint streams and battles, passing a track to a colleague with the artist's consent.

Ban list

A banned user can't send tracks via the website or the bot, vote in the chat or comment on the channel.

Auto-pause

Forgot to end the stream? After an hour of inactivity intake pauses, after two the stream ends by itself.

Artist history

Under the track — what this artist sent before and how their scores changed. Progress is visible at a glance.
Monetization

Donations, priority and services

Earn from what you already do on stream — without checking donations by hand and without compromising honest ratings.

Donations with automatic confirmation

Connect DonationAlerts: a viewer gets a code like SQ-XXXX, writes it in the donation, and the track is confirmed by itself in about 10 seconds. The amount is saved to the track.

Queue modes

“Donations first”, “big donations first” or “ladder” — one donation track, then several free ones. There's a “donations only” mode for short streams.

Channel services

Offline reviews with a video reply, private sessions by time slot, mixing, mastering, arrangement, release help — with prices, statuses and messaging.

Telegram notifications

The channel bot tells you right away about new service requests, messages and status changes.

Offline review requests — in the dashboard

Turn on intake, set prices per track and per album and the turnaround time. All requests are listed with statuses, payment and the video reply, and you can rewrite the notifications artists receive.

OBS

Overlays for a music stream

One scene — one source in OBS

Queue, a track card with BPM and key, rating, chat voting, the stream's top, karaoke, a loudness meter, chat and studio scenes.

Arrange widgets with the mouse on a 1920×1080 canvas — OBS needs a single Browser source, and changes appear on stream without a reload.

Taking tracks via a Telegram bot

Every channel has its own bot

Viewers send a file or a link to the bot, and it asks step by step for the title, genre and what kind of rating they want. The bot tells them their place in the queue, notifies subscribers when the stream starts and sends artists technical feedback and reports.

Create a bot with @BotFather, paste the token into Stream-Q — and you can rewrite every bot message in your channel's style.

Questions

Streamers' frequently asked questions

How much does Stream-Q cost for a streamer?

Sign-up is free. Viewers send donations through DonationAlerts directly to you — Stream-Q only checks the code in the donation message to confirm the track.

Which platforms does it work with?

Twitch, VK Video Live, YouTube and any others: the queue and overlays are web pages you add to OBS as a Browser source. Voting with !1–!10 works in Twitch chat, and in YouTube and VK chats — via the Stream-Q chat extension.

Do I have to connect a Telegram bot?

No. You can start a stream and take tracks only through the stream page on the website. The bot adds intake via Telegram, stream start notifications, audience judging, technical feedback for artists and the “Guess the score” game.

How do viewers send tracks?

Through the stream page on the website or the channel's Telegram bot: as a file (MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A and others) or a link. YouTube and SoundCloud links are downloaded automatically, links to streaming services are kept as links.

What if a viewer sends someone else's released track?

After analysis every file is checked by audio fingerprint against a database of released recordings. If someone else's release is found, the queue shows a “© Release found” badge. Intake rules can hold such tracks back automatically. The check lowers the risk but doesn't guarantee every release will be found.

Why does a streamer account need an application?

When signing up, turn on “I'm a streamer” and add a link to your channel — an administrator reviews the application, and after approval the streamer dashboard opens. That way the directory only lists real channels.

Does the site work from Russia without a VPN?

Yes. If the main address is unavailable, use the mirror ru.stream-q.com.
