Hey there! Streamable enables the most popular streamers to IRL stream without issues. Features include Premium Cloud Streaming Servers, 100% Stream Drop Protection, Clips Players, Remote-Control OBS, Multiple Ingests, Collaborative Streaming, DDoS protection, and much more! If you're a streamer, let us help you out!
A new way for your community to be part of the stream
Upload Corner gives viewers a controlled way to submit images that can appear on stream after approval.
You add one browser source to your stream. Viewers get a link, choose an image, pay the price you set, and the approved upload appears in the live scene.
Viewers do not need accounts, and the streamer setup stays lightweight: one upload link, one browser source, and moderation before anything appears.
How it works for you
- You set the price — anywhere from $1 to $100 per upload. That's exactly what viewers pay, securely by card.
- Every upload goes through Streamable's auto moderation. All of it is reviewed — anything flagged is auto-blocked before it ever reaches your stream.
- Require Manual Approval is on by default. Uploads that pass auto moderation wait in your Pending Approvals queue, and you or your moderators accept or deny each one with a single click. And because every upload gets human review, viewers can submit GIFs too — animated uploads are only enabled while manual approval is on.
- Approved images appear on stream one at a time, in the order they were paid, for as long as you choose — or until the next upload takes their place.
- Your earnings are always visible under Settings → Earnings.
How it works for your viewers
- They open your upload link — from your bio, your chat, or the stream button in your About section.
- They pick a PNG or JPG (up to 10MB) — or a GIF, if you have manual approval on — and pay the price you set. No account needed.
- Their image goes through auto moderation, then waits for your approval if you have manual approval on.
- Once approved, it appears live on your stream — and if they're signed in, they can track their upload's status the whole way.
You're always in control
Upload Corner was designed with one principle in mind: nothing appears on your stream without passing review.
Auto moderation reviews every single upload, and it's highly effective at catching explicit content, nudity, and other harmful material — anything it flags is auto-blocked before you ever see it. With manual approval on, you and your moderators get the final say on everything that made it through.
We recommend keeping manual approval on to start. Every upload still passes through auto moderation first, so you'll see exactly what gets auto-blocked and what gets through — and you can decide with confidence whether to turn it off later for a faster, smoother experience for your viewers.
Step 1:Turn on Upload Corner
Head to Upload Corner in your Streamable dashboard and turn it on.
Set your price per upload and how long each image should stay on screen.
Step 2:Add the browser source to your stream
Copy your Browser Source URL and add it to OBS — or Streamable Remote OBS — as a browser source.
Size and position it wherever you want uploads to appear. The top-right corner is a classic for a reason.
Use the built-in Test Browser Source button to make sure everything is placed exactly how you like it.
Step 3:Share your upload link
Copy your Viewer Upload Link and drop it in your bio, your chat, or wherever your community hangs out.
That's it. Viewers pick an image, pay, and you'll see it waiting in your approval queue.
Step 4:Approve, and watch it appear
New uploads show up under Pending Approvals — click any one to take a closer look, then approve it or deny it with a single click.
Your moderators can review uploads too, from the Moderate page. Anything you approve appears on stream automatically, in the order it was paid.

Open only if you still need extra troubleshooting context.
How much do viewers pay?
Whatever you decide. You set the price per upload — anywhere from $1 to $100 — and that's exactly what viewers pay at checkout.
Where can I see my earnings?
Your earnings are always visible under Settings → Earnings, updated with every paid upload.
What stops someone from uploading something inappropriate?
Every upload goes through Streamable's auto moderation, which reviews all of it and is highly effective at detecting explicit content, nudity, and other harmful material. On top of that, manual approval is on by default — so nothing appears on stream until you or one of your moderators approves it.
Do my viewers need a Streamable account?
No. Viewers can upload and pay without an account. If they sign in, they can also track their uploads and appeal a rejection.
Can my moderators handle approvals for me?
Yes. Anyone you've added on the Moderators page can approve or deny uploads from the Moderate page — perfect for when you're mid-stream and heads-down.
What images are supported?
PNG and JPG images up to 10MB — plus GIFs while Require Manual Approval is on, since animated uploads always get a human look before they can display. Each one displays scaled to fit your browser source, for the duration you choose.
Can I turn manual approval off?
Yes. If you'd rather uploads appear the moment they clear auto moderation, you can turn Require Manual Approval off in your Upload Corner settings — auto moderation still reviews every upload either way. Note that GIF submissions are only available while manual approval is on, since animated images can't be reliably auto-moderated. If you're unsure, keep it on for a few streams first — you'll see exactly what auto moderation catches before deciding. And keep in mind no system catches everything, so this is generally fine on Kick, but not recommended on Twitch.
