The Team behind ControlPlay
We are a team of passionate gamers and developers with a mission: Making Twitch streams more interactive, entertaining, and profitable.
How it all began
ControlPlay was created in 2025 from a problem that our founder Bubbinger experienced as a Twitch streamer: Despite an active community, there was a lack of ways to directly and visibly involve viewers in the stream — beyond chat messages and donations.
What started as a small tool for personal use quickly caught the attention of other streamers. After a successful soft-launch and months of beta testing with hundreds of users, ControlPlay is now available for all Twitch streamers.
Today, ControlPlay is developed by a dedicated team of game developers and streamers who all share the same goal: Taking the interaction between streamers and viewers to a new level.
Our Mission
We believe streaming can be more than passive entertainment. Our mission is to transform the viewer experience from mere consumption to active participation — for the benefit of both streamers and community.
Every aspect of ControlPlay was developed with three core principles:
- Interactivity for all: Making interactive streaming accessible to every streamer, regardless of technical know-how or channel size.
- Control with the streamer: Giving streamers full control over how and when viewers can interact.
- Creating real value: Developing features that are not only fun but also generate real value for streamers — whether through increased viewer engagement or higher revenue.
