The Basics
What is Control Center?
Control Center is a live dashboard that puts everything you need while streaming in one place — reactions, alerts, ad overlays, scene overlays, and Twitch/Kick chat — and sends it all straight to OBS in real time, without switching windows or juggling separate tools.
How It Works
Install the Cliggs Agent
A lightweight desktop app that bridges your browser dashboard to your local OBS Studio.
Open Control Center and connect a scene
Pick the OBS scene you want to control from the dashboard.
Fire reactions, alerts, and overlays live
They appear in OBS as a browser source instantly — no plugins, no window-switching.
Watch chat without leaving the dashboard
Twitch and Kick chat show up side by side right in Control Center.
