Glossary

Terms below are shared. A term used by a single service is defined in that service's own section.

"Platform" means three different things

This is the single most confusing word in TEASE, and it is worth ten seconds:

1. Account Platform — the service that owns people, workspaces, teams and connected accounts. Capitalised, always two words.
2. A fan platform — where a fan pays you: OnlyFans, Fansly. In the API you will see platform: "of" | "fansly" on fans, transactions and messages.
3. A streaming platform — where you go live: Chaturbate, Twitch, Kick and others. In Stream, platform means this and nothing else.

When a page says just "platform", it means the second or third — whichever its service owns. The first is always written out as "Account Platform".

Shared terms

Workspace — one agency or one creator's working space. Everything you see in the panel belongs to exactly one workspace. Owned by Account Platform.

Owner — the person who owns the workspace. Not the same as a team member, even one with every permission.

Team member — a person the owner invited: chatter, traffer, manager. Has their own login and their own device binding; sees only what the owner granted.

Creator — a person whose fan accounts are being worked with. A workspace can hold several.

Connected account — a creator's account on a fan platform (OnlyFans, Fansly) that TEASE is signed into and works through.

Domain — a hostname you own inside TEASE, serving your pages. Owned by Link.

Smart link — a link that decides where to send a visitor at click time (country, device, A/B arm), instead of pointing at one fixed URL.

Source — the label a click carries, saying where the visitor came from. The whole point of attribution is turning a source into money.

Attribution — connecting a paying fan back to the click that brought them. Link supplies the click; Club supplies the money; the answer lives in Club.

Fan — a person on a fan platform who follows, subscribes or pays. Owned by Club.

Scene — the layout of what viewers see on a live stream: video frame plus overlay layers. Owned by Stream.

Overlay — in Stream, one layer of a scene. A scene is a stack of layers, and the video frame is one of them, so "overlay" is not only what sits on top of the video — it is any layer the scene composes.

Motor — two different things, depending on who says it. In Stream's own pages it is the hub connection (stream_motors, one row per creator, the box that receives and pushes video). In infrastructure talk it is the GPU pod that renders. They are not the same machine and not the same table.
