Polls
What would it take to add a polling feature to the Chrome ext? I like the streamalive polling product and attendee functionality of voting in chat, but I don't like not having the control that OBS gives me on position, size, animation, etc.
There's a basic poll overlay currently, with a few different options.
It's not the prettiest overlay in the world, although functionally it works. Small incremental improvements I can offer, based on feedback
I saw that. I've been playing with it a bit. I set up a test in OBS and it gives me a rounded rectangle with my text but I don't see any functionality for voting.
If you're taking suggestions it would be amazing if it associated a number with each voting option, then the functionality for people to vote in the zoom chat, and then finally showing results for each option on the screen. With options for simple styling like your chat overlay. Rounded rectangles, colors, fonts. That would be a dream list.
For instance:
The Poll
What is your favorite type of vacation?
- The beach
- Historic cities/sites
- Museums and culture
- Outdoors, camping and hiking
In the comments people enter 1, 2, 3, or 4, and then the graphic updates in real time.
https://www.streamalive.com/features/live-polls is where I got that example but it doesn't work from a chrome extension which is a perfectly elegant solution for flexibility.
Thank you for the request. I made some improvements based on the feedback and added additional styles.
And thank you btw for your support <3.
Ah no, it looks like it's not in the current release. Look forward to when it drops.
Im not sure what Im doing wrong. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the chrome webstore and I dont get the Poll Type: option.
Apologies. I've not updated the store version of the extension yet. I don't do it often due to the hassle Google makes doing so, however I can do that this week. I can push only about once a week to the chrome store, and if I make a mistake, it is hard to revert.
Until then, you can download the extension via the manual way, using https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream/archive/refs/heads/main.zip , and loading it into the extension that way. You'll have all the new features that way.
Is it possible to customize these themes, like in the messages where we can modify the style with CSS or something like that?

You can download the poll.html page and modify it with Ai; like Claude Code or openAI Codex.
There is some CSS modifications you can do, via the CSS style box in OBS, but not otherwise. If you want more styles made/added, it's possible, but I would just be using AI to generate them.
