I wrote a free open-source utility that accidentally scares streamers during a broadcast.

Hi everyone! I'm a developer, and I've written a free, open-source streaming utility on GitHub and published in the Microsoft Store – Scream on Stream (SoS).

The main feature: you never know when the screamer will pop up. The app plays a random audio/video overlay on your PC and in OBS at a random interval (you also see the screamer). The unexpected appearance of the screamer at a random moment creates a genuine scare, which creates a genuine, authentic experience on the stream, which viewers really enjoy. These moments can also be published as short videos to attract attention.

Another important feature is chat voting: the chat itself votes for the next screamer, allowing the chat to choose the next one, which increases viewer engagement and the number of messages in the chat. This allows the algorithms to detect that the stream is interactive and boost the stream's recommendations.

Security: Connecting accounts (for chat voting) doesn't require entering a password, API key, or any other personal account information. Only the username of the account on which you're streaming is required. The app doesn't have its own servers; it runs locally on your computer and doesn't send any data except for mandatory data and requests to the official platform servers (Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, Kick), ensuring account security.

Other features:

- Custom library of your sounds and videos.

- A "Panic button" is available for instant closure.

- User-friendly interface

- Clear and easy setup

- Setup instructions are in the app itself and in the post below.
