What are Control Panels?

Control panels are interactive interfaces that appear in the overlay editor, letting you adjust layer properties in real-time. Instead of editing layer settings, you can use buttons, sliders, and controls to modify values during your stream.

​
Accessing Control Panels

1

Open your overlay

Go to the overlay editor
2

Select a layer

Click on a layer that supports controls (e.g., Counter, Timer, Challenge)
3

View the control panel

Controls appear in the layer card or a dedicated control panel view

Tips

Use control panels during streams instead of editing layer properties directly - it’s faster and less error-prone.
Let mods help - Grant your moderators permission to use control panels so they can manage counters and timers during your stream.
Combine with Stream Deck for the fastest control - physical buttons are quicker than clicking in the editor.
