ControlPlay

ControlPlay turns your Elgato Stream Deck into a Twitch soundboard, voice changer and control panel for interactive Twitch streaming. Play your own sounds, change your voice in Discord or in-game voice chat, and manage Twitch Bits interactions, visual effects and text-to-speech (TTS).

Turn viewers into players with the official ControlPlay Twitch Extension, or trigger actions yourself without Bits.

🔊 Twitch Soundboard for Stream Deck

Import your own MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC or WebM files, or record clips in ControlPlay. Play sounds on stream or send them into Discord, TeamSpeak and in-game voice chat so your teammates hear them too. Enable "Audible for me" to hear voice-chat sounds in your headphones.

Add up to 50 sounds, with files up to 20 MB each. Your volume, playback length, repeats and fade-out settings carry over. Switch off viewer access to the sound system and keep using your own soundboard. No game needs to be running, making it ideal for Just Chatting.

🎙️ Stream Deck Voice Changer

Put eight voice effects on your keys: Robot, Demon, Helium, Radio, Megaphone, Auto-Sing, Censor Beep and Mute.

Press once to change your voice and again to turn the effect off. Your own voice effects use no Bits and have no cooldown. Select Ghost Voice, the ControlPlay Virtual Mic, in OBS, Discord or your game. Keys also show active viewer effects and their remaining time. You can disable viewer access to all voice effects and keep using your own keys.

⚡ Game Actions and Stream Effects

Trigger game actions, overlay effects and sounds yourself without Bits or a "viewer triggered" alert.

Send real keyboard, mouse and controller input with the ControlPlay USB device.

Use ready-made actions for 112 games or add custom games and apps.

Launch 25 visual effects, including Jumpscare, Blue Screen and Smoke Grenade. Add the ControlPlay overlay window to OBS to show them on stream.

Trigger game actions and overlay effects even when hidden from viewers.

Stop the current overlay effect and clear your screen with the Overlay System key.

👀 Control Twitch Interactions and TTS

Choose from 17 Stream Deck actions to manage games, individual game actions, overlays, sounds, voice effects and TTS.

Show or hide interactions for your viewers, switch between up to five profiles per game, and enable or disable Twitch TTS or individual TTS voices. TTS keys manage viewer access; they do not send messages.

Need to focus? Toggle Do Not Disturb. Only interactions marked "DND safe" remain available to viewers and your trigger keys.

💡 Live Feedback on Your Keys

Game icons, colors, status badges and countdowns show what is active, hidden or unavailable. Game-action, overlay and sound trigger keys respect your configured cooldowns, including those started by viewers. Status Display gives you a live overview of ControlPlay.

🧩 Single-PC and Dual-PC Setup

Install the plugin, start ControlPlay and drag actions onto your keys. Pairing is automatic on the same PC, with a pairing-code fallback. For a separate streaming PC, enable Dual-PC mode and follow ControlPlay's network and pairing instructions.

Your deck connects directly to ControlPlay on your PC or local network. Key titles and settings support 14 languages.
