# Control panels for OBS and your phone

Make a Twitch stream control panel with big buttons for your flows and boxes for your variables, then use it on your dashboard, your phone or as an OBS dock.

## A screen of your own

A control panel is a screen of buttons and controls for your stream. Each button starts a flow, and each control changes a channel variable, so a scoreboard or a counter stays in step with your chat commands. You can keep up to 20 panels, with up to 64 tiles on each.

## Buttons and variables

Add a button for any flow that starts from a Run button trigger, and a control for any variable you have declared. Change the button's label, image or inputs when a flow asks for them. The flows and variables are the ones you already use, so nothing is duplicated.

## Use it on your phone or in OBS

Open a panel from the list to use it full screen. To use it on a phone or as an OBS dock without signing in there, create a secret link from the panel's share dialog. Anyone with the link can use that panel and no other, so treat it like a password and keep it off stream.

## Let moderators help

Your moderators can use a panel you share with them, so they can run the next round while you stay on camera. What they can press is still limited by the flows behind each button.

## Keep panels and flows together

Share a panel with its flows as a pack, and whoever installs it gets the buttons and the flows they start. The guide covers each step: [Control panels](https://bloopbot.com/docs/control-panels).
