#Stream Deck #Plugins #Streaming - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Alright, it's time. What Stream Decks do you have and what do you use your buttons for?
well i have been using EVERY stream deck video you got to set up mine i have it to change scenes.......and clip my twitch stream create markers for later use manage my discord turn on and off certain voice channels and voice mods start and stop my Spotify playing you guessed it streambeats by this awesome youtuber... hmm cant seem to remember his name anyway all that and a few fine tuning buttons for when i edit my clips and upload them to tiktok anything i missed Mr. Heller.........KNOBS
Stream Deck, Stream Deck XL, and Stream Deck+. Other than scene switching in OBS, I use them for: Discord Channel surfing, Twitch channel surfing, audio control (Stream Deck+ and Wave Link), keeping track of different time zones, and buttons that enter text into chat with links that support my friends. I use those features almost every day. I produce shows in multiple time zones, so having something where I can see time zones next to each other is amazing. Thanks for the video.
Stream Deck and im ashamed to say that i barely stream and i use it maybe 2 or 3 times a stream to hit like 2 buttons😂
Streamdeck mini, I love that little thing so much! I don't have to grab my mouse anymore while DJ'ing :o The most used button for me is the one that shows the artwork of my originals in VR with a single press. I feel bad for not picking up a streamdeck sooner!
I have 2 StreamDecks, one for each streaming setup.
Changing scenes is something that I do the least often, almost never. I use the buttons for enabling and disabling audio sources, hiding and showing and switching cameras, on screen graphics, incrementing counters, starting and stopping and switching timers, and some mod actions like Followers Only mode and starting a raid if I have a predetermined target.
Most common use is to mute/unmute my mic.
I'm renting but I totally hate this wall in here. It's coming down
😂😂😂
You heard Harris. If that little voice in your head says knock it down, you LISTEN!
Don't let your dreams be dreams
Just Do It
I'll bring pizza
A good thing to note, is that many Stream Deck plugins run as an application on the background (you can find them from task manager etc.). So having many installed might affect the computers performance.
I use the stream decks and pedals as accessibility tools. I have a button to toggle mousse smooth, and disable regular mouse buttons, swapping them to the pedals. Perfect way to get around the tremor in my right hand when it's really severe.
1. Viewer count button
2. Plugin showing who's live so I can just use that to raid into them
3. CPU usage
4. One page showing different time zones and weather
5. Magic 8ball to show on stream as a channel point redemption
Never realized the speediest plugin before this. Thanks so much! Having that running every few minutes is awesome.
#7 you can have dedicated set ups for certain games as well. As an example star citizen or elite dangerous I run a bunch of keys that trigger things in game like lift up landing gear, or contact station air control towers etc.
I’ve actually been using it more for flight simulator than streaming lately. I set it up to do pretty much whatever I want in the sim, but I use it mostly for quickly switching between different camera views. I also use it to control my lights, and I’m gonna see how I can make it work for me in my DAW as well.
What I use the most: jump between the scenes, make a clip with Atrium vertical, mute, hide/unhide camera, show/hide certain sources. I never thought of the idea with the light like you shoed in this video, this is genius! Gonna try it tonight:)
My best friend loves streaming since I set up all her hotkeys on the stream deck. They manage her Vtuber model, her scenes, hue lights, discord user volume, etc.
I even made a very lengthy macro that sets up her OBS, Vtube studio, and all the other stuff she needs for streaming. Resizes the windows too to make the best use of space on her screen.
I use mine for helping me with coding, with repeating actions, swapping between IDEs and projects. When streaming, I use my stream deck for sound effects, scenes, widgets, minigames, autoban bots, speed test, for moderating other channels, recording a specific source, screenshoting everything or a specific source, having a preview on what friendly channels are live, and a lot more (including my own Stream Deck plugins). And, most importantly, because I'm legally deaf, I use it for adjusting my audio for my end alone.
Loved the explanation! Not a Stream Deck owner yet…. But when I am it will be the Plus for sure. You’ve shown how versatile it is and how well it can help organize a workflow. Thanks!
I'm using a classic stream deck for esports production and definitely do more than change scenes. These vids are awesome thanks mate! The discord volume would be amazing I want the knobs even more now ;) but more so looking at the XL.
Great video. Thanks for constantly going above and beyond to help us all be better streamers
i dont know how i feel about youtubers i watch interact 🤣
I'm not the type of person who often leaves comments (almost never), but here I'm willing to make an exception. Harris, you have always been a source of useful information and here you are again saving my day. I spent all day looking for how to use Stream Deck to move the windows position and you were the only one who could help. As always - the best
Seriously golden information
I love using it for my Spotify and also for shortcuts for apps. It's nice for switching scenes in OBS as well, but I also use it for a Soundboard during streams. Love this thing!
Stream Deck Plus. Fantastic job as always! Spectacular plug-ins and ideas. Thank you!!
Scott, your editing is becoming Harris' side kick. Harris is up here talking about Stream decks and you edit in little zingers and what not. I really enjoy your editing style. Keep up the good work.
I'm on the other side, I absolutely hate it.
I have the 32 button streamdeck. In my effort to up my streaming game, I've got a full 8 page set up for pages, scenes, sounds, animations, poses, cameras, and facial expressions for my Vtubing models. I come from a tech theatre background, so I've been spending my time recently converting that workflow for myself via streaming, and the utility of the streamdeck.
I'm buying a Stream Deck primarily for WFH office use with a bit of streaming. Teams meetings, recording and transripts, and switching between apps/quick focus swaps. May also try to use it quickly reorganise windows too. Honestly, it sounds like a great productivity tool for other uses but ALSO for streaming!
Thank you HH for another awesome, informative video!
great video as usual. I legit use the + for audio and camera zoom, an XL for moderating my stream and the foot pedals that rn manage my discord. Videos like this give me life and make the money that I invested on these products worth it. Thank you
Don't you need a Philips Hue Bridge in order to use the smart plug? Or am I missing something? The bridge isn't required if the stream deck can somehow connect to it via bluetooth, but that isn't possible.
Please make sure you do not take down a load-bearing wall. It could be catastrophic. As for the Streamdeck, I love the Teams plugin - so useful during meetings because I’m always multitasking and don’t want to find the bloody teams window to mute/unmute and do other useful stuff.
I use it for lights and links to websites I use for work. Also great for making start and stop recording. I now will have to buy a couple Phillips power...for cameras. Totally going to setup speedtest too. Helpful video Harrison!
This was so freaking insightful man i love how simple make things for us to digest. People do not put this work in now days and im hyper appreciative of what you do for us. Hope your year is going well and family and friends get to smile
I use mine mostly as a hotkey button when I'm video or podcast editing. It's a lot easier to put my 15 button stream deck in place of my keyboard so I can do things like copy, cut, paste, zoom in and out etc. Although, when I did stream I used it for a soundboard and scene changes sometimes
spotify, multi window open tab, etc love the vids homie!
Hell yes man… great video and I’m now considering grabbing one of those decks because of these capabilities 🤘🤘
Knobs
I like knobs ( ͡° ل͜ ͡°)
Fantastic video, thank you for sharing these!
I just plugged mine in yesterday and I use mine for sounds, and multitasks (which I am looking more into) Thank you for this great breakdown.
Brand new. Haven’t even connected it yet. Seems outstanding. You have a great channel.
So I kept my Streamdeck XL in my closet after buying it for over a year. I just got it out a few days ago and am impressed with everything it can do beyond turning my Phillip Hue lights on/off. I setup an FTTT account and am now using it to control my garage doors, my overhead camera, and the Edelkrone JibOne + Sony A7Siii in front of me. Looking forward to doing more with it!
I have 2 Stream Decks now. The 15 button version I have had for a while now, I use for controlling my lighting, for OBS, scenes & I have a page with websites I go to a lot.
The stream Deck+ I primarily use for video editing. The knobs are perfect for getting the right position to cut a video. Also, for moving back & forth in the video
I use it for Elgato light controls, application launches, changing my audio source from headphones to speakers on specific application.. SO much! I love this thing.
I use it for work and streaming. Mainly mic control for meetings and switching between the headset and speakers. Launching mouse controls to look at battery level. Verifying my plug-ins are working with the Wave mic. And launching most used apps like outlook, chrome,etc.
Just started using my so still adding and learning about how to use it/which plugins to get for more functions and stuff.
But i use it so far for gaming and recording plus for using it as a sound effects board for during a gaming session of COD DMZ.
Still going to ad and chance it overtime because like I said before still learn what you all can do with it plus which plugins to get.
Loving it so far even with the beginners issues i had with the software issues/errors but got the best software/gear support from Elgato I never had from other companys i dealt with before so they made a life-time Elgato fan/supporter for the service support that they gave, They want all customers to enjoy their products and help you out if something goes wrong and will help you step by step to getting it fixed!
Elgato Stream Deck XL
Using Elgato software 6.4.1 because for me version 6.5.0 does'nt work on my PC (Windows 10) even when i went to Windows 11 had the same problem but because of the help from Elgato I now know what to do if i ever have this issue again when i upgrate to the next version after version 6.5.0
Just happened by your channel and the editing is spot on, very funny. I don't stream, really but this seems like a great helpful video to those who do.
I am a sim racer and alot of the sim racing community uses it to help tweak the car during a race like to add fuel, change tires and to change how the car drives throughout the race. I do not have on due to financial struggles but it is super helpful.
I primarily use the knobs to control audio from the wave link app. I don't even stream like that anymore but that level of audio control is something I can never give up
stream deck XL, stream deck 2.0, Elgato Pedal that I use for recording and switching scenes while live so I can keep my hands free. Just grabbed the Elgato prompter as well and the things you can do with that, OBS, and a streamdeck are wild.
Main uses - content production + Multi-action workflows for multiple recurring projects like you mentioned near the end of the video.
Followed 75% because of the way you edit your vids. Thanks for all of the info!!!
Im using the stream deck+ and its been a complete game changer for me. Im a super small streamer and its made everything so much better. Even if im not streaming the quick access to volume for music discord etc. Muting my mic and all. It truly is an amazing piece of equipment!
Where are these plug-ins? I don't see many in the Elgato place. I would very much appreciate it
right now I'm using 4 streamdecks for my streams but also my workflow, I use the streamdeck for my in car adjustments while simracing, the streamdeckXL for controlling my stream, I use the streamdeck pedals for controlling some replay action while in game, and the streamdeck+ for audio adjustments on the fly. is has improved my workflow.
I also use them in video editing or my photography it works amazing. thank you for this video! always looking for more ways to use my streamdecks at the full potential
We use streamdeck primarily with Companion to control vMix inputs and layers, PTZ presets and BlackMagic Constellation configs.
Use my stream deck constantly. During streams, I use it for everything from scene changes to showing/hiding overlays, to setting light brightness. Apart from streaming, I use it in Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Logic, even my email client. Love it!
I love your content its really like the most youtuber that I can enjoy his content for hours and not being boring for a second. and its not because of the things you show us here, its because of your awesome personality that I might never come to be such as.
I just wanna tell you that most of us are too broke to buy the things you bring to the channel or too lazy to do your advices on a constant pattern. but hell we enjoy seeing you talk
happy streaming 💚
Used to use it from streaming, but now its job 90% of the time is Window management on my system for organising my workspace and moving windows across screens easily. I plan to expand it further with certain workflows I do while programming and scripting specific tools and container management features eventually.
The primary use for my stream deck is actually debugging and navigating code. I also use it to monitor the status of my SSH connections so I can start stop or restart them as needed as well as perform scheduled tasks like popping up a Windows notification to remind me to take a break and go walk the dog. I also play Fallout 4 religiously with hundreds of mods and I have around 80 hot keys (several for Place Everywhere) for various items, actions and scripts tied to a gaming profile. This will let me toggle the free camera, pause the game, adjust the camera speed, and then move the camera around and toggle my ENB effects for the perfect screenshot then quickly resume gameplay. Plus: Voice mod and Discord controls so while I'm streaming my gameplay I can make my character dance and play an audio clip on an event, etc. I'm currently setting it up to use Bitsoft Companion to control my Linux machine which I will be using to do the streaming on a dual PC streaming setup with a single controller while I game on Windows. Bonus: I use the G6 key on my Corsair K100 to swap my Corsair RGB Pro into sniper mode for quick headshots.
I mostly use my stream deck plus to: Open programs/websites, or do a multi action to open a bunch of things (like obs, twitch, twitter for streaming). Also I set up hotkeys to open command prompt and run specific commands with one click, that part is super useful!
I have a Streamdeck XL and a Mini. I use mine primarily for work productivity (under Linux, not Windows, not macOS). My first page controls all of my applications (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Mattermost, Slack, Discord, Salesforce, etc). A button press will find the app running on any virtual desktop, target it, and then switch to public channels or DMs.
For meeting apps, I can mute/unmute, turn on/off my camera, and go from presenter to non-presenter mode. I also control my Govee lights and plugs around the office with the first page. I control the Govee lights via API, and my Sonoff S31 smart plugs via Tasmota open source firmware.
The second page of my XL is a dial-by-face PBX for my teammates. The first press launches a DM to that user in our chat system. A second button press (within a second) will dial them via our PBX phone system. The third page controls all of the timers I need for timecards via Timular and Toggl timers. Start/Stop timers via API, launch Toggl desktop, sync via Timular, etc.
I also programmed a handful of buttons to stuff in boilerplate (frequently used) text prompts and replies for emails and customer cases. This includes my default email signature as well as some editable standard replies. I have several other pages of useful productivity, business functions for apps and app productivity.
I have 10 pages of 32 buttons on my XL (320 actions) and the same 10 pages for my Mini (60). I also use these to control my cameras and OBS scenes for both meetings and livestreaming. This is where most people will be using their Streamdeck.
It's a FANTASTIC productivity tool, and I really wish Elgato/Corsair would support Linux with their configuration app, but until then I am using the various open source/community alternatives out there.
I have mine set up for scenes, starting and stopping my streams, spinning my wheel, changing cams, Tweeting things out, turning my lights on and off, and mostly for sound bytes of all sorts.
I make Ham Radio TH-cam content and besides using the StreamDeck for changing scenes is controlling Spotify (For Streambeats naturally), A going live Twitter button, Discord mute/unmute, controlling my many many lights, buttons for VoiceMod sound alerts, Swear beep, and buttons to control all my ham radio gear. For example, switching radio bands, I use the Elgato pedal to "key up" the radio mic, switch digital modes on the radio, control my antenna direction. I have the XL and the Plus. Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks for this vid!
So many things, I use it while programming as quick hot keys, to bring up my custom brushes while drawing, to quickly open apps, to manage music while streaming, etc.
im using mine primarily for:
-muting/deafening in teamspeak and discord
-launching specific spotify playlists at a set volume (for consistency)
-launching & moving programs into a consistent position
-creating clips with shadowplay
The audio software with the Stream Deck + is a game changer and has been my primary use. Mixing that with control over Discord, sound effects, and shortcuts in editing software, I’m officially in the group that has discovered the Stream Deck isn’t just for streaming!
Just ordered my stream deck + the other day. I'm a VR streamer and also a DJ so I plan on using my sd+ for extry functionality in my DJ program along side all the obs stuff. I also use blender and unity so using it for that also sounds nice.
I have a few multi action buttons setup for different things
- Launching all my stream related programs at once, with a single button (huge time saver
- Go live, switch scene and run an ad
I have a button for a spin the wheel channel point redemption I have
Several scene change buttons
Timers for various time based channel point redemptions
Laugh track and a celebration visual with sound effect
A button that activates a slow zoom plugin in OBS whilst playing very motivational and dramatic music
That's about it - I'd say the use cases for scene changing is more common and thus used more, but I get good use out of all the other stuff as well
I love the Windows mover plugin. So handy when you start up the computer for the first time and you just hit the button and bam, everything you want in its place.
I do online tutoring using OBS virtual cam so yes half of my buttons are switching scenes to show different material that I have open in photoshop, acrobat, browser, etc. The other half are: one just always shows the current time in Japan (where my students are), open photoshop or other programs, hang up a call, automatically type the greeting I always use before I call them.
I'm excited to explore my stream deck more and get more use out of it (especially the dials which do nothing rn)!
I think the main use for my StreamDeck is a desktop replacement. Instead of filling it up with a ton of shortcuts I have them organized on my StreamDeck and can open them without going back to the desktop. Honestly still need to do more with it. Did have it set up to Moderate the Play with Viewers Twitch Plug-In whether for me streaming, or modding for friends.
Got a stream deck today, thanks to your influence. Unfortunately I am not in the US so I couldn't use your link, but it's still thanks to you! 🤘🏻
I got the SD 15 and SD XL, which I just bought last week.
The 15 is connected to my StreamPC, and basically will be used for starting/stopping streams, switching scenes, and also tweaking audio if needed.
The XL is hooked up to my GamerPC. The top row is basically locked to certain pages. Like page 8 is for Programs. I have a set of basic programs that I want to make sure I run while gaming. I use the Advanced Launcher plugin for this, where I show a dot if the program is running. I can quickly go to that page to make sure everything is running that I need at a quick glance of the icons.
Other pages I use for launching games, going to specific (favorited) websites. And since I have multiple monitors, I use the plugin Windows Mover to either move active window to another monitor.
But let's say I want to switch a game from my monitor to my TV. A click of a button and it's done. No need to go into like the game settings and say I want it showing on this device.
Added the twitch clip feature and stream marker last week. Game changer. Also used the teamspeak integration back in the day.
You look like a Ryan Reynolds doppelganger. great video! thanks for the input on the streamdeck plus. definitly picking one of these up for christmas
I've actually just starting to use it for streaming. I mainly use it for coding and spinning up servers/docker containers. Also to improve workflows in Adobe/Affinity programs.
With the Philips smart plug, a Philips hue bridge is also required for it to pair to a stream deck. Just bought the plug by itself and found out the hard way. FYI for anybody that didn't know
I love the Stream Deck.
I use it for video editing, Home Automation with Home Assistant, switching scenes (of course :-) ), turning nvidia noise reduction, Elgato Facecam blur, changing output between headphones and speakers.
There's an MS Teams plugin now too, although it's had some issues and doesn't work for me at the moment.
I primarliy use my Streamdeck automation at my desk. Raise/lower desk, lighting control, switching between speakers and headphones, things like that.
Random use I found: I use it to make lead sheets when I have to make one from scratch with metadata. I can just set a text buttons on the stream deck with whatever chords I need in a song, and then push the button to add text like [C#] or [Esus]. I even have a folder for various keys setup so when I need to make a new song, I just load it up and get to editing. Saves me a little time by clicking where I need the chord and just hitting the button instead of copying and pasting whichever one I need at the time.
I use my stream deck + to launch different sets of apps for my job. It also lets me control app audio for meetings and such. It’s been a major efficiency & quality of life improvement for me. Oh and I monitor my Mac’s performance so I know if I’ve got too much stuff open. V dope.
A few of the things I have set up and use are a soundboard with several folders of sounds, I set up an audio folder to mute/deafen discord as well as muting each of my audio sources in obs if needed, this was added after in game people spew hate when they know you're streaming, I use cam buttons for zoom or to turn my cam on/off, spotify, and twich folder for markers, clips and shoutouts. That is a short list of what I use mine to do
I have 3 (underutilized) decks, my original 15 button deck in black, the newer 15 button in white and the Plus. I have a 5 camera setup for streaming Go using a floor goban to mirror the games played on OGS (online Go server). I use my decks primarily for scene switching, but also Key Lights, opening websites, and FaceCam controls. I use the multi action for building intro and outro graphics to my videos. I recently build a new computer for video editing with Davinci Resolve, but haven’t gotten around to setting up buttons and knobs on the Plus for that yet (soon). Enjoy your content and presentation.
I'm a tournament caster for a small mobile game - my stream deck allows me to manage scoreboards, update the overlay with team names and logos, and more. I also use it to automate my stream's starting & ending routines (source volumes, music, discord pings)
Oxford definitions:
knobs - a round handle on a door or a drawer. a round lump on the surface or end of something
dials - the face of a clock or watch, or a similar control on a machine, piece of equipment or vehicle that shows a measurement of time, amount, speed, temperature, etc.
Scene switching totally. But I do also use it for:
- Slide switching
- I created shortcuts for Adobe apps instead of using my keyboard.
- MS Teams control
I use my stream deck a lot for work! quick keys to open up calendars, github in specific views, timers, etc, etc. When I record, its for switching views, voice mods, or quick keys for editing videos
I'm blind and I use several accessibility applications on Mac and PC. The hotkey combinations to increase magnification or turn speech on and off can almost tie your fingers in knots. I've set up single-key presses for the common ones. Also very handy to trigger Power Automate flows to do things like open up applications and navigate to specific pages or functions.
I have the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2. I don't even use mine to change scenes haha, but for a lot of other stuff! I use it to mute/unmute mic, change outfits for my vtuber, play sound alerts/animations on stream for fun live editing, adjust audio volume on different apps, and more. It's great!
I love this knob, i mean guy. Subbed and liked!
I use my streamdeck primarily to adjust audio on the fly (since I hadn't invested in a GO XLR or dedicated audio mixer), lighting, toggle OBS source visibility, & chat command shortcuts.
I use mine as a series of multi-action buttons. Opening a few apps at a time for MMO gaming with things like FFXIV, or Star Citizen. I have a Music folder for music controls for spotify and another folder for chrome shortcuts that take me straight to some of my favorite URLs like Crunchyroll, TH-cam, or D&D Beyond for example. I have a screenshot button and also Window Mover button that moves any active window to a separate monitor with specific dimensions. This is great for my Portrait monitor where I can't "Win + Left" or "Win + Right" to quickly resize/lock programs into half of my monitor. All that with just a 6 button mini!
I use the stream deck+ dials to control my stream audio. I also use the buttons for sound board drops and the Move Transition plugin if my camera is ever in the way of gameplay.
I’ve got the standard 15 button in my home office, and the 32 button at work. I use them 98% of the time for repetitive task as work such as moving emails to certain folders in outlook, preforming merge and center and then centering again in excel, and so on. I also write longer macros for jumping between programs and imputing data. The last 2% is for video calls and instructing online.
I made a custom recording studio that allows the computer to be in one room and anyone can go in, press one button to turn on the camera, lights, confidence monitor, then record, go live, screenshare etc. But not only that, it’s all connected to a Dropbox folder that I get instantly so I can edit and upload in a few min from them stopping their recording. A lot of other custom stuff like overlays, a bookmark button that has audio time stamps (so I don’t need to scrub through to look for mistakes), a screenshot button for thumbnails, etc. My company has been able to put out TH-cam videos pretty much daily because it’s all done in the studio and requires very little editing. Building another one of these studios for another company soon too. OBS and a Streamdeck has not only made my workflow so much better, but it’s become another form of income as well (for building setups for businesses)
I use it for adjusting volumes for the various Wavelink audio channels, I also use it for Zoom controls, as well as my Elgato lighting :).
Finally got the stream deck + storm trooper addition. Currently creating folders to house certain functions i want available during stream. Then created separate profiles to handle editing. Then the "knobs" are stackable so I can press the "knob" to scroll through sources and adjust volumes and tap the touch screen to mute if need be. One deck to rule them all.
I use it to launch my apps and as a sound board. Keeps my class entertained when teaching.
i do use it to switch scenes, but i mostly use it to change the volume of my spotify, change song, pause/play. it also helps me with 1ms instalocks on valorant, discord functions (mute/unmute, Def) i can full mute my mic, clip something, i also have aimlabs as a quick key since i use it a lot, and i have my AMD and audio interface software as my other keys.
Yes, I use my 15-key Stream Deck to change scenes, but also to send certain messages in chat, open programs or games I regularly play, play sound effects, and more. Used to use to in set camera filters and turn them off and on, but now that SnapCam is gone, no more of that LOL (it ate up CPU anyway). But there are a ton of good ideas here I want to implement as soon as I get my PC back up and running again.
my uses for stream deck:
#1 scene switching, obvi
#2 macro's especially switching PPT/slides without having ppt in focus (seriously a god send)
#3 controlling ptz cams
#4 volume mixing
adjusting audio sources on the fly plus using the vertical OBS plug-in made by Aitum mainly.
Awesome feature!!! ;)
I never thought about using the knobs (dials) for editing!
I have a 15 button stream deck. I've never streamed a single second in my life. I use it for productivity work some work things, and I use it to monitor my system cpu/ram/gpu when i'm gaming. It's also fantastic to switch between headset/speakers, mute, volume up/down, monitoring the battery level of my headset, displaying the time and date. Perfect for productivity!
1 Setting up my room for streaming
This includes light on/off, sound output, opening sites in browser, mute Discord/TS and moves windows to front or background
2 Stream control
Scenes ofc
Cam on/off, mute audio sources, play ads, turn on ventilation for my room, play sound effects, save replays with OBS relay buffer, switch from desktop capture to game capture, turn alerts off and on, chat messages presets and moving windows to front or background
3 Light control
All lighting in my room. Ceiling is Hue, Nano Leafs and the cat grass station lamp goes with a Hue smart socket. So does the room ventilation.
I am using Touch Portal tho but same deal. ;)
Yes I use it to control scenes/OBS overall, but I also use it to control and jump in/out of Discord Channels (my most accessed ones, as well as the volume mixer if I have it minimized during a recording or stream), Sensor Bleep, Soundboard/Voices for VoiceMod, YT Music Controller, and I even have the little Magic 8 Ball just for some fun.
I recently started a master's program in education so my streaming schedule is very small; however, I got the SD plus and I use it to read articles, highlight, zoom and copy text with it. I can lay back and since I have it under my desk it works perfectly.
BTW, using the Advance Scene Switcher plug-in for OBS and setting up a bunch of macros you can expand the capability of the streamdeck way past what the default buttons can do. I set up a layer or blank text that the stream deck button can toggle on and off. The advanced scene switcher can then do a multitude of advanced things my stream deck couldn’t before. Mainly since the streamdeck can’t get feedback from OBS but the macros can. Pretty cool stuff
Please expound on this - OP or Harris.
For work we have twelve 32 button stream decks. I stream roughly 200+ college sports a year. I use two 32 stream decks per stream (plus an Xbox controller) with vMix. The left deck is my control deck. Switching 8 buttons for cameras (4 program and 4 preview), 8 buttons for replay and the rest are other helpful buttons. The right are for my graphics. I can use live game stats in conjunction with Excel and it takes two buttons on stream deck to cut 4-5 seconds out of the process (rather than spend thousands on automated software).
