</Steps>

### Letting Your Mods Help

One of Vision's unique features is collaboration. You can grant your moderators permission to help manage counters.

1. Go to **Permissions → Roles**
2. Use a prebuilt role or create a custom one. Make sure the role has the permission to view overlays and edit them, or only allow modifying scores
3. Click on users and invite your moderator

### Styling

Vision allows styling all layers, including counters. You can change the font, color, background color, and in-/out-animations.

Counter layers also have a **Mono-Font**, which is used for the numbers.

Via **Advanced → Theme** you can select one of the other presets or style it the way you want with Custom CSS.

### Stream Deck Integration

Vision also supports [Stream Deck](https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck) devices. You can install the [Vision Stream Deck Plugin](https://marketplace.elgato.com/product/1up-vision-cc30663a-d7bb-4f52-b19b-db99ac15de33) to interact with your overlay layers and modify your counters in real-time.

### Chat-Bot

The Vision Chat-Bot feature allows you to create commands that read or modify your counters. For example, you can create a command that returns the current score of your counter.

You can also create timers that update the counter at a certain time interval.
