I've watched a lot of tutorials on Stream Deck and frankly most presenters want to joke around rather than go slowly to help us understand. Your video was superb. I have learnt all I need to know to do what I intend to use it for. Thanks
@@MathewTheBest One thing I would like to do is close a website. Can this be done. I don't recall you covering this. In fact switching off any System inputs.
The text feature can be used if you are in a webinar as a host and want to welcome guests without having to type each message. Also good for timed messages withing meetings and webinars. When I am teaching, this is a great way to keep the flow of information going while taking care of administrative details.
You are the first person to talk at a decent pace and explain, instead of doing all the dramas and jumping from one clip to the next. Thank you - no really, thank you. it's hard to find a decent tutorial these days.
Just an FYI the hockey switch let's you set the same hockey command but with different icons so you can have you mice mute button not have a slash through it then have a slash through it when you are muted
6:46 you don't have to delete the title. You can turn off the text in the text options. That way you can still see the title in the software but not on the Stream Deck itself.
The music is such a perfect level where you can even hear his mouse clicking so I'm sure it's fine. It's very absent in the background and soft. Hopefully you just learn how to tune that out mate.
I can see this thing being useful for my day-to-day computer use even though I only stream casually and very occasionally so I'm gonna get it! I can already think of endless ways I could use this! E.g. for the hotkey switch where you said you can't think of what anyone could do with it, that can be useful if you are copy/pasting a lot of stuff and just have one button which alternates between CTRL+C > CTRL+V (a dumb example but shows how useful even a feature like that can be). Honestly after watching this video I'm convinced this is an essential gadget that everyone should have on their desks for productivity and efficiency!
Thank you *so* much! My stream deck should be here on Tuesday, and I'm so looking forward to it. I'm a mod on a very popular weather YT channel and just being able to use the "text" macro button will save me having to type the same things over and over in live stream chat. It will also help me access other sites while the streams are live, so I can get important information to those that need it. You explained everything so well!
@@MathewTheBest True story: I got the Stream Deck tuesday about 20 minutes before the Live Stream started. I had everything I needed loaded into 4 "folders" on the stream deck in >10 minutes. That was thanks to your video because you had explained it so well. This stream deck is a godsend to me and is helping me soooo much!
i like the video alot, just ordered my stream deck, the 32 key edition. ill be watching this again when it comes in! thanks again big dog. what i would actually like to see is how to have my twitch chat etc on one screen while im streaming COD on my main monitor.
Photoshopped a little bit lol 😂 thanks for the video. I’m no gamer not by any measure but I got the deck because it proved itself to useful even for non gamers.
This video has made me feel more confident buying a steam deck. Thanks for showing off the folder feature. Now I know I dont have to get the XL for more options.
Thank you Mathew. Best video for learning System Functions basics. Like how to use open, hotkey, website, and text functions. BTW found a great use for text. Repeated placement of verbiage in an email subject or document like 'Confidential Document Attached' .
Excellent presentation and it's really nice for you to point out that you aren't sponsored. I understand why people take sponsorships but a lot of it can be a little deceptive when they are talking about how great a product is. I started streaming 😂 I do a TH-cam show its politics and I obviously wanted to move to streaming but needed a better desktop because I was essentially editing videos on my school laptop 😂 So I've been streaming and I'm definitely realizing I'm having a problem with chewing things up and having the ability to make a joke or say something and then queue up a video or a sound referring to that, you know what the hell I'm talking about. This seems like this would really help with that
I was so hesitant to get a stream deck because I had absolutely no experience or understanding of them. I’d heard people talk about them, and vaguely understood that people used them for switching scenes, but that was it. I was so confused as to why people would get them when you can only press 15 buttons, and was trying to figure out if there were multiple pages so you could have more controls 😂 Honestly the fact that there’s folders feels like it should’ve been obvious, I just never had any experience with it. I think I’m going to have to get a stream deck now. I know this video isn’t sponsored, but honestly it should be 😂
You produce great videos. When I first started watching I thought you were a hundred thousand subscriber TH-camr. You produce better quality videos too.
That text hotkey would be awesome when your streaming and people ask what system I’m running or they ask what your online name is for your streaming accounts. Just press the buttons and then you’re done
Tnx for this video, this will help me a lot. 1 Q. Will the streamdeck see all the programs i have on my pc or do i need too activate them in stream deck, like OBS,?
for streamdeck mobile, if you are using it on android, activate your phones developer mode which will allow you to turn on a setting that never turns the display off if its plugged into power, this is great if you cant afford a streamdeck, and even better if you have an old android phone thats not being used
Great video...why more informative than what Stream Deck has on their own site. Do you or anyone reading comments know how to record a Lightroom Classic preset to a hotkey?
Hey there, great video. Quick suggestion, you may want to make your socials above "clickable". Took me a few to figure out what I was doing wrong. All the best and thanks again!
Hey Matt, thanks for the video, for the longest time I had no idea how does stream deck even do or why it was so popular among streamers. Now I see it is very handy and I just may pick up a mini to try it myself before even going into the regular one.
Thanks for the basic tutorial! I’m still thinking about buying one, for the purposes of D&D audio. But I have a question, which might need its own tutorial video. I would like to be able to have Music and SFX. If I click a file I’ve deemed Music, I would like to fade out of current music, start the new music, and have it play on loop. If I click a file I’ve labeled SFX (with or without looping), the music will still play uninterrupted, and the SFX will play (once or until manually paused). Multiple SFX can be running at once, such as a looping ‘fire popping’ and a short one time ‘screaming child’ (Pyromaniac Sorcerer, don’t ask).
Awesome video Matthew 👊😁 Question: When I add a multi action command (music and text together on screen) i click on it again and the text wont disappear or reset. Should i remove all of my hot keys associated to my keyboard? Thats what i used before getting the stream deck. Thanks brotha ⭐️ Flex Smashed the Like 😁👍
Quick question about the hotkeys man. I know you said you can type in a certain command like Ctrl + J. But what about if it was something that didnt have a typing command? Like it HAS TO be clicked in that application. Could the deck also capture a hotkey in that way? Or does it have to be a typing command? Thank you in advance.
I’m interested is getting a stream deck but where dose it hook up to my monitor my pc where dose it go I’m assuming the monitor since you edit the software it uses
One question I have that I can’t see an answer to, is that once a button/action is created on one screen, is how/is it possible to copy/cut and paste it onto another button, on another screen? Thanks in advance.
I have just bought a used stream deck, looking at the Elgato Website it looks like the MK1 version. However when I fire up the software it says on the top left Stream Deck 2, whereas yours just says Stream Deck. Any reason why?
Looking to buy one soon. Can you make it so the websites/software open up but onto certain monitors? For example - a button that will load a spreadsheet onto my left monitor and IMDB onto the right monitor?
Excellent explanation. My unit arrived today (15 buttons) Can I get it to open a program and also go to a folder showing actions within that program? So. I'd like an icon on the first screen which will open Cubase and then the StreamDeck will automatically jump to a new folder which has PLAY STOP etc buttons within Cubase for me to press. Thanks in advance
You could use the text tool for pasting copyright at the bottom of multiple product or website pages or to quicken the process of text watermarks? I’m going to use hot key switch to go between brush and eraser in photoshop on my new stream deck!
I've watched a lot of tutorials on Stream Deck and frankly most presenters want to joke around rather than go slowly to help us understand. Your video was superb. I have learnt all I need to know to do what I intend to use it for. Thanks

I too use this feature, but I use it to spam profanity at stupid ppl in game chat=D
You are the first person to talk at a decent pace and explain, instead of doing all the dramas and jumping from one clip to the next. Thank you - no really, thank you. it's hard to find a decent tutorial these days.
Wow. You are the first person who explained HOW the deck Actually worked! Thanks so much
No problem!!
@@MathewTheBest yes this is better than "look at this yes now get it"
Just an FYI the hockey switch let's you set the same hockey command but with different icons so you can have you mice mute button not have a slash through it then have a slash through it when you are muted

Great description. But… PLEASE Lose the music. Sounds like a broken record and is very distracting form your talk.
The music is such a perfect level where you can even hear his mouse clicking so I'm sure it's fine. It's very absent in the background and soft. Hopefully you just learn how to tune that out mate.
Thanks for the video! Didn't know multi actions were a thing. Even more excited to get one of these now...
I just bought a streamdeck... finally 🤣
Really great video tutorial keep them coming ! 😎

100%. This product goes beyond just streaming alone. Lots of uses for work and Macros

This was a great video! It really gets me excited as the possibilities are endless! Can’t wait to set mine up thanks 😎
Glad it was helpful!
For hotkey switch, one use I will be using it for is when in adobe when switching between the razer and pointer.
Thank you Mathew. Best video for learning System Functions basics. Like how to use open, hotkey, website, and text functions. BTW found a great use for text. Repeated placement of verbiage in an email subject or document like 'Confidential Document Attached' .
I loved this. Now I need to get a video on set up for the 1st time. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the tutorial for this! just got my deck so gna follow this video. Great job explaining everything.
you can use the hotkey switch for like copy paste, you only use one button. Its Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V, so on and so forth
the ninja tweet made me laugh, thanks for delivering info in the way that you do.
Glad you enjoyed!
I wasn’t sure if I should get one but now I’m sure it’s gonna be a time saver for me . Thanks for the video
Great video , where did you get that wallpaper
Great video. I'm switching from UpDeck and picking one of these up tomorrow.
I just got my stream desk. This was very helpful.
for streamdeck mobile, if you are using it on android, activate your phones developer mode which will allow you to turn on a setting that never turns the display off if its plugged into power, this is great if you cant afford a streamdeck, and even better if you have an old android phone thats not being used
Good tip!!
For the hotkey switch option. I have that set up for gaming. I use it as a on/off switch
Hell this was super informative! Way better than the others I’ve found, thanks so much for the great video and taking it slow for us noobs. 🤘🏻
Great video...why more informative than what Stream Deck has on their own site. Do you or anyone reading comments know how to record a Lightroom Classic preset to a hotkey?
Thanks for the intro to Streamdeck tutorial brah
Thanks for this video, it helped me get started setting up my stream deck.
You can use the hot key switch in some games. For example one of the games I got this for is ats and you can use it to turn on off a Jake brake.
I have learnt a couple of things from your video, thanks!
Subbed just because how well done this was.
Thank you very much for this awesome explanation video of HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS, Please make more
As a beginner Stream Deck video you should have explained the meaning of OBS first place to get to know what it really does!
I don't understand it because I don't have the same options as you in the app. I don't have the options: youtube, twitter etc.
tutorial starts at 2:48
Thanks Matt, this was really helpful!
This was very helpful, thank you so much!
I am for sure getting this down the road thank you so much bro
No problem!
I'm sorry make I gotta give u a thumbs up. Bday gift from wife and u helped me get started
Video starts at 3:00

you are a great teacher, thanks
Great video thank you , order my stream deck today so it was very helpful. Also subbed to your channel :)
so basically it's a button for your favorite software on your pc?
thanks for all the info it helped!
Glad it helped!
Getting one soon
Thank You. It's been very helpful. :)
Amazing videos I was looking to get one and because of your video I am
Great video, helped allot.
Bullet points sir.
This was extremely wordy, as if you were conversation with IT guys.
If you dont have the software open your stream deck wont work...When you hit X it will still run in the background..
One thing I still can't fathom is how to make mouse click keys. No video so far has explained that.
Amazing vid, thanks for explaining!
No problem!
13:00 muting and unmuting yourself for example (if you have a hotkey set for that)
The text can be used for bot commands in stream
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the basic tutorial!
I’m still thinking about buying one, for the purposes of D&D audio. But I have a question, which might need its own tutorial video.
I would like to be able to have Music and SFX.

Multiple SFX can be running at once, such as a looping ‘fire popping’ and a short one time ‘screaming child’ (Pyromaniac Sorcerer, don’t ask).
Very clear and useful.
Thanks for the video liked and subbed ✅
Awesome video Matthew 👊😁 Question: When I add a multi action command (music and text together on screen) i click on it again and the text wont disappear or reset. Should i remove all of my hot keys associated to my keyboard? Thats what i used before getting the stream deck. Thanks brotha ⭐️ Flex Smashed the Like 😁👍
Thanks for showing how it worked I wanna be a streamer but I probably won't because I don't have the money for a whole set up..
Noo don't say that! You can definitely be a streamer for cheap! I'll make a video soon on that!
@@MathewTheBest thanks bro🙏
Yeah, this guy knows his stuff glad I hit this video first thanks stay safe everyone
Thank you!
Your camera quality is amazing
Thank you!!
Mathew, how can I ad streamyard to Elgato?
Thank you for the info!
What programs are you using to make video or stream obs is to hard an stream labs sucks please help great video helped me so much
I am so overwhelmed I don’t know the difference between OBS and stream labs OBS 😩
Quick question about the hotkeys man. I know you said you can type in a certain command like Ctrl + J. But what about if it was something that didnt have a typing command? Like it HAS TO be clicked in that application. Could the deck also capture a hotkey in that way? Or does it have to be a typing command? Thank you in advance.
Thanks! I wanted to learn about the Hotkeys.
Yeah i think im going to do a follow up video on the hotkeys potential with this
Thank you for a to-the-point tutorial on this!
how to change LANGUAGE of the app..?????
were is the download button for the software he says download but ui dont see were
Mine doesn't say "More Actions" in the bottom right or the "Twitch" option. It has "Twitch Studio", but nothing else involving Twitch.
Thanks so much for the help
I’m interested is getting a stream deck but where dose it hook up to my monitor my pc where dose it go I’m assuming the monitor since you edit the software it uses
Crushed this m8
Thank you!
One question I have that I can’t see an answer to, is that once a button/action is created on one screen, is how/is it possible to copy/cut and paste it onto another button, on another screen? Thanks in advance.
Right click button, copy. Right click empty button, paste.
Using ELGATO. can I stream a TV show real-time into my youtube channel?
Hello I was wondering what is the rgb live background wallpaper in this video?
I have just bought a used stream deck, looking at the Elgato Website it looks like the MK1 version. However when I fire up the software it says on the top left Stream Deck 2, whereas yours just says Stream Deck. Any reason why?
I'm definitely getting this!
But they are expensive bro
Any chance you can do a review on loupedeck and flight sims
22:17, 1000ms is 1s.
Thanks dood
why would you start this video with a page changing arrow and not have us to start with that same arrow..it does make a difference
Looking to buy one soon. Can you make it so the websites/software open up but onto certain monitors?
For example - a button that will load a spreadsheet onto my left monitor and IMDB onto the right monitor?
Yo where did you get that desktop background/wallpaper at?
Excellent explanation. My unit arrived today (15 buttons) Can I get it to open a program and also go to a folder showing actions within that program?
So. I'd like an icon on the first screen which will open Cubase and then the StreamDeck will automatically jump to a new folder which has PLAY STOP etc buttons within Cubase for me to press. Thanks in advance
You could use the text tool for pasting copyright at the bottom of multiple product or website pages or to quicken the process of text watermarks?
I’m going to use hot key switch to go between brush and eraser in photoshop on my new stream deck!
Great video!
Just subbed💪
@matthewthebest Where did you get that desktop wallpaper? That is awesome! I appreciate the work on and the info in this video.
Wallpaper Engine on Steam!
