OBS and Twitch actions
Nearly a hundred actions, OBS and Twitch.
Switch a scene, save the replay, clip the moment, start a poll, shout out a raider, time out a troll. Every step is a ready-made action you pick from a list, and each one can hand what it learned to the next.
Free OBS and Twitch actions are free.
When mod_owl types !clip in chat, the clip macro runs: 1. Save replay buffer, 2. Create clip, 3. Send chat message, then CroStream replies "@mod_owl clipped it! clips.twitch.tv/BraveOwl". When mod_owl types !so nova_k in chat, the shoutout macro runs: 1. Shout out a channel, 2. Send announcement, then CroStream replies "Go give nova_k some love!". When A hype train just started!, the hype macro runs: 1. Switch scene: Hype, 2. Show source: Confetti, 3. Send announcement, then CroStream replies "All aboard! Choo choo!". When lunarfox redeems Mute me, the mute me macro runs: 1. Mute microphone, 2. Wait 10 seconds, 3. Unmute microphone, then CroStream replies "Ten seconds of silence! Thanks, @lunarfox".

Steps that talk
Each step hands the next one what it found.
A Clip step reports the link to the new clip, and the next step puts it in chat. Some actions run on OBS and Twitch together, so one step does both jobs.
