Stream, moderate, and cross-post — from one app.

Features

A streaming companion that earns its place.

Stream control, chat moderation, OBS integration, real-time event tracking, and AI-assisted writing — built for Twitch creators who want to spend less time alt-tabbing.

Live chat & events

Live chat on top of your game.

Keep chat in view while you play. CapyLive pops a notification the moment a follow, sub, raid, cheer, hype train, poll, prediction, goal, or channel-point redemption comes in — so you never miss a moment, even mid-game.

Stream control

Run your show without alt-tabbing.

Update title and category, drop stream markers, send announcements, and start raids — straight from CapyLive. The Twitch dashboard stays where it belongs: out of your way.

OBS Studio

Switch scenes without surfacing OBS.

CapyLive talks to OBS over WebSocket. Trigger scene changes from a hotkey, start or stop the stream, and see connection status before it ruins the night.

Hidden from capture

Floating chat overlay your viewers can't see.

The draggable chat widget sits on top of your game — but it's flagged as excluded from capture, so OBS, screen recorders, and Discord shares only see the game underneath. You see the room. Viewers see the show.

Moderation

Mod toolkit, keyboard-friendly.

Ban, timeout, clear chat, add or remove mods and VIPs. Run targeted moderation actions inline, without context-switching.

Go live

Announce once. Post everywhere.

Cross-post your go-live to Discord (with per-channel targeting — gaming friends and dev followers don't have to share an announcement) and to X. OAuth in once, post forever.

AI titles & shoutouts

Bring your own model — or use Capybot.

Generate stream titles and shoutout messages with OpenAI, OpenRouter, or the built-in Capybot default — no key required. Add prefixes, suffixes, and custom prompts to shape every result.

Hotkeys

Global shortcuts everywhere.

Toggle overlays, scenes, control panels, and chat history with hotkeys you set — even when CapyLive is in the background.

Chat overlay

Make chat look like yours.

Fonts, sizes, colors, opacity, profile pictures, badges, animated emote GIFs, bubble styling. Tune everything to match your brand.

Raid & shoutout

Auto-shoutout on raid.

When a raider lands, CapyLive picks one of their clips and rolls it on screen — built-in player, no extra service.

Screens

A look around the app.

Real screens from the desktop app, not marketing renders. (Light and dark themes — and yes, the app theme follows the same palette as this site.)

Three modes, three seats

Streamer, moderator, or just here to watch.

CapyLive ships with three modes. Switch between them depending on the seat you're in — no separate apps, no separate logins.

FAQ

Common questions.

How does pricing work?

Pricing details are coming. The latest plan information will live on the pricing page.

Do I need OBS to use it?

Yes — CapyLive's stream and scene controls drive OBS via the OBS WebSocket, so OBS needs to be running. The point isn't that you skip OBS; it's that you don't have to alt-tab to it mid-game.

Can I use it just to moderate chat without streaming?

Absolutely. Switch to Moderate Chat mode and connect to any channel where you have moderator permissions. Full ban / timeout / mod / VIP / clear toolkit, no broadcaster overhead.

What about Mac or Linux?

Currently Windows 10 and 11 only.

Will it slow my game down?

CapyLive runs as a lightweight desktop companion. Most of the work happens on Twitch's side via EventSub subscriptions — the app itself is mostly idle until something happens.

Which AI providers does it work with?

OpenAI, OpenRouter, or the built-in Capybot default (no key required). Bring your own API key when you want a specific model.

What can I cross-post to?

Discord (with per-channel targeting — pick exactly which channels see each announcement) and X. OAuth in once, post forever.

Free download. Setup takes about 30 seconds.
