## Description

StreamCtrl is a powerful Chrome extension that lets you remotely control OBS Studio (v28 or above) and Streamlabs Desktop directly from your phone or tablet. This app provides extensive remote control features including starting and stopping streams and recordings, switching scenes and scene collections, adjusting audio source volumes, toggling mute, and managing replay buffers.

Designed for seamless operation on local networks, StreamCtrl supports real-time updates and studio mode for professional-quality streaming control without needing to access your computer directly. Please note, streaming or recording can only be done through your host computer; StreamCtrl functions purely as a remote control tool. The extension also supports editing text and browser sources, as well as viewing scene screenshots (OBS only). This tool is ideal for content creators seeking flexibility and mobile control over their live streams or recordings with OBS Studio and Streamlabs Desktop.

## Review summary

Reviewers mostly praise StreamCtrl for its intuitive UI and solid OBS remote control, with out-of-the-box usability and good value. However, recurring issues center on connectivity and pairing reliability, Twitch chat not working, and a perceived lack of recent updates. If these connectivity and maintenance concerns are addressed, it remains a strong remote-OBS tool for beginners and regular users alike.

### Pros

- Easy-to-use UI and a clean, well-organized layout.
- Strong OBS remote control capabilities, including turning on stream/recording and controlling most functions.
- Does what it says and works out of the box with minimal setup.
- Good value proposition; users feel the paid removal of ads is worth it and the developer is trusted.
- Reliable for beginners/start-out users who want a straightforward OBS remote experience.

### Cons

- Connectivity and pairing problems are commonly reported (cannot connect, session pairing fails, timeouts, firewall blocks).
- Twitch chat integration is frequently broken or unreliable across reviews.
- Notable concerns about maintenance/updates, with some noting no updates in over a year and potential back-end issues.
