Room — a single live channel, identified by a short code, that operators drive and participants join.

Operator / participant — the person driving the room vs. someone in the crowd whose screen is part of the show.

Broadcast vs studio — the broadcast feed reaches all phones; studio views are extra named outputs (e.g. for capture).

Sequence vs clip — a sequence is a reusable timeline; a clip is one block of colour, graphics or audio on a track within it.

Layer — a graphic element (text, image, timer, poll) rendered on the stage.

Keyframe — a recorded property value at a point in time; GLOstiq animates between keyframes.

Variable — a live, named value (number, text or table) you can show on the stage and update on the fly.

Presence / heartbeat — the signal a participant's device sends so GLOstiq knows it's active (and eligible to win).

Winner pool — the set of active, unique devices a draw picks from.
