Configuration
Most games work automatically.
A few need a quick config step.
CS2 requires a Game State Integration config file so WatchDog can detect kills, rounds, and aces. Copy the template to your CS2 config directory:
Copy-Item cfg\gamestate_integration_watchdog.cfg "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\"
Restart CS2 after placing the file.
Valorant, Overwatch 2, and Rainbow Six Siege work automatically — no setup required. WatchDog reads game logs and the Riot Client lockfile to detect events.
Share clips to any Discord channel via webhook:
1. In Discord: Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy URL
2. In WatchDog: Settings → Discord → Paste webhook URL → Save
3. Right-click any clip → "Share to Discord"
