Instant Delay
Protection against stream snipers in every FACEIT match, on your own or as a party with your teammates.
FACEITSync Connect for Windows
More than your dashboard. The app for CS2 streamers.
Connect is the free Windows app from FACEITSync. It does what a browser tab can't: delay your stream against snipers during matches, show you which of your teammates are live right now and bring your settings straight into chat.
Set a separate delay for regular matches, tournaments and leagues or single tournaments, and choose when Connect turns it on.
Your party in the bar on the right: who is ready, the delay for everyone and one click to a teammate’s stream or profile. Only the lead sets the delay.
Point at a streamer for ELO and score. One click on Invite, and once they say yes, they are in your party.
Connect reads your CS2 settings. You decide what your profile and chat show.
All settings on one page. Under CS2 connection you hook up CS2 in one click, no folders or files by hand.
Notifications open in the bar on the right, invites pop up as a bubble. With Connect minimized you get a Windows notification, and one click on it brings the app to the front.

Stream snipers watch your stream to call your position. Connect delays your stream exactly during your FACEIT matches and switches back to live afterwards. Your chat sees veto, warmup and queue without delay.

From the knife round to the end of the matchConnect turns the delay on by itself in your FACEIT match from the knife round and lets it run out after the match.
-
You pick the lengthOne page for everything: regular matches, tournaments and leagues, plus single tournaments with their own value. Up to 10 minutes.
-
Back live right after the matchAfter the match the bar counts down LIVE IN. As soon as your viewers have seen the end of the match, you are live again. Want it sooner? Hit “Back to live”.
-
Set up in three stepsConnect finds OBS or Streamlabs on your PC, gives you the server address to copy and checks with a test run nobody sees that everything arrives. Your stream key stays in your streaming program.
-
Your delay at a glance, right in OBSThe OBS dock shows you inside OBS whether your delay is running, even with the Connect window closed. When your delay needs you, you hear a warning sound.
-
Your chat is in the loopAt stream start the bot tells your chat that it sees FACEIT matches a little later, and again in every match as soon as the delay is running. Both are on by default. Add !delay and your chat can check any time how much delay is running, with the tournament name in tournaments.
-
Predictions without spoilersYour Twitch predictions can start while FACEIT is still setting up the match. The payout waits until the delay has run out and your stream is live again, so no result gives away what your chat has not seen yet.

Streamer list
-
Fills itselfStreamers you played with or against on FACEIT land in your list automatically.
-
Score right in the rowIn a match, live, online (app open), away or offline, plus map and score. One click shows ELO, level, how long they have been live and your matches together.
-
You decide who finds youUnder “Discoverable by” you choose who sees you. You hide single streamers with one click. With “Invisible” you appear offline to others unless you are live. Only your party sees your match.
Party Premium
-
Invite however suits youClick a free slot and type a name: the search shows avatar, level and ELO, so you invite the right person. Or straight from the streamer list, or with an invite link. If you share your chat on Twitch, Connect suggests the party to you by itself.
-
The lead sets the delayWhoever leads the party picks a value from 5 seconds to 10 minutes. It applies to everyone, in your own match too. Lowering mid-match works with “Lower now”, and you hand over the lead in one click.
-
Everyone ready, then queueA green ring means ready. If something is missing for someone, their slot says what, and for yourself there is a button that fixes it.
-
No stream gives the round awayViewers hopping between your streams never see what is happening live.
Hook up CS2 in one click.
Your overlay, your bot and Instant Delay get live data straight from your game. Connect sets it up in one click, no folder hunting, no copying files.
-

And the rest just runs.
Small things that save you clicks every stream.
Alerts while you play
Delay on, live again, invites: with Connect minimized you get a Windows notification or a short, quiet sound. One click on it brings Connect to the front. You choose what comes how.
Support chat in the app
The support chat answers your questions right inside Connect. It knows how your recent streams with Instant Delay went and uses that to help you. If a human needs to look, it offers you a ticket that is already filled in.
Sign in without a password
You sign in through your browser and Twitch. You never type a password into the app, and you can sign out any PC remotely.
Three steps to your first stream
Step 1
Install
Run the installer, no admin rights needed. Connect opens by itself afterwards.
Step 2
Sign in
Connect opens your browser and you confirm with Twitch. No account yet? It gets created on the way.
Step 3
Go
Your dashboard is there. CS2 GSI and Settings Sync are one click each, and a three-step assistant walks you through Instant Delay.
Frequently asked questions
What does Connect cost?
The app is free and shows your dashboard with everything your account has unlocked. Settings Sync, the streamer list, the party and sharing on your profile are free. Instant Delay, including the shared delay of the party, one-click CS2 GSI and the chat commands with your CS2 values need Premium.
Does Connect cost FPS in a match?
When you close the window, Connect just waits in the notification area: no window, nothing is drawn. With Instant Delay, simply keep Connect running, because your stream goes through Connect. Without Instant Delay you can also quit the app fully while playing, under Settings, “Startup & background”.
What does the app read on my PC?
Only what you turn on: the settings files CS2 saves itself, the live data from CS2 GSI and your stream while Instant Delay delays it. Your player name, hardware IDs and custom scripts such as autoexec are never sent.
Is Connect available for Mac or Linux?
No, Connect runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). On other systems you use the dashboard in the browser as usual.
Setup, settings and help with problems: All of it in the docs
