PNGtuber collab overlay
PNGStage gives PNGtuber groups a shared collab overlay for Discord calls. Guests manage their own avatars, streamers add one OBS browser source, and the scene updates as people speak.
A PNGtuber collab overlay is a stream scene where multiple PNG avatars appear together and react to voice activity. PNGStage focuses on group streams where guest lists change often and manual OBS setup becomes repetitive.
PNGStage is built for PNGtubers, VTuber groups, stream teams, podcasts, and Discord community streams that want participants to appear on stream without each guest sending fresh files before every show.
The streamer invites the PNGStage Discord bot, chooses a voice channel, and adds the generated URL to OBS as a browser source. Participants manage their own PNG or .veado avatar files, and they can close PNGStage after saving them.
Automatic layout remains the default, while optional Fixed Slots reserve each assigned seat through disconnects and reconnects. Streamers can drag detected participants into slots, sort them A–Z by displayed name, and feature a guest GM or host on either side.
Comparison
Manual setup works for a fixed cast, but it slows down when guests rotate or multiple Discord calls need their own scenes.
| Need | Usual setup | PNGStage |
|---|---|---|
| Guest changes | Collect avatar files again and rebuild the scene. | Guests manage their own avatars from their PNGStage profile. |
| OBS setup | Arrange multiple sources and voice-reactive states. | Paste one shared browser source URL. |
| Voice activity | Configure each source or local tool separately. | Discord voice activity drives the shared overlay. |
