Yeah i'm not paying monthly for a software or app, so Touch Portal is what i'll use. Really not liking this whole "things as a service" mindset and more software is trying to push. It's a product, give me a fair price for the product and let me buy the product.
I remember the days when we only ever had to pay for things once. For real. I hate it too bro 👌
Mod apk with old version software (without sliders) will work perfectly.
I dont even use touch portal because you have to pay to use plugins. So I use deckboard
Love how you did positive and negatives for each. For the time being I'll be using the Streamlabs Deck just to get me use to using a stream deck. Really appreciate the video!
It’s literally just the elgato stream deck mobile but shit
Touch Portal is the one for me. It took me a bit to figure out button programming since I have not coded in 20+ years, but once I got the hang of it, I love it. I use it for business presentations and training, not gaming though. Being able to turn boring meanings into live stream like events is a game changer. Touch Portal is amazing!
Glad to see I'm not the only one doing this
If you simply need to switch OBS scenes with an iPhone or iPad, the best i know is probably OBS Virtual Deck
I am super new to Streaming and didn't even realize that there may be apps to do what a deck could do. I appreciate this video!!!
Amazing video dude! As someone with a Stream Deck myself I still found this super useful! Might have to try and combine a few of them for more options! 😯
OMG ZEPH HOW'S IT GOING (it's bias lol)
Another great feature of Touch Portal is that in not only works for streamers but also may be use as a Controller for other apps such as Photoshop.
If you could hold a key like a normal key it could work as a osu!mania controller and other games
Thank you for pointing this out!
Wow this was so awesome. I spent today just making small improvements to my Twitch account and now I have Streamlabs Deck on my unused tablet. Thank you so much. I subscribed in hopes you will answer my other questions in future videos and have me up and running like a pro.
Thanks Pete - excellent video and solid info as always - it's why I always recommend your channel to new streamers.
Touch Portal looks really good! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to play with it more tonight. Quick and easy to get setup and going....
Most helpful overview with balanced recommendations. Thank you!
Will definitely be trying the stream deck mobile software. Thanks mate! 💪🏾
Top tier content. A1 stuff here man. Thanks for all the information! Incredibly informative and broken down.
Thanks for this dude! Appreciate the outline of options!
This video is much better than you’re older videos you’ve clearly improved good job
You are very underrated. I've been watching your channel, Alpha Gaming, and Streamscheme in order to stream well.
Thanks for this video! Nice piece of condensed info, I will try out elgato stream deck and touch portal myself for the next couple weeks and see which fits the best. You got my sub !
Definitely a good in depth video of these stream deck alternatives. Was just messing around with the Elgato Mobile and having a lot of issues right out of the gate. Will be looking into Touch Portal tomorrow and see how that works out. Thank you!
Been using touch portal for 6 months now and I'll never look back. Ya it's not as intricate as stream deck but I'll take the less full sized options over the heavy price point of elgato.
@@romasu1374 Thats what I'm saying! I had a little speed bump at first with getting my tablet to hook up, but once I figured it out I've been loving it. Just adding actions here and there when I think of something and have the time to trial and error with it.
This has been super helpful. I was debating backing the Loupedeck Live S for $140 CAD as a cheap option but this app plus my tablet I hardly use plus my Korg Nano with free software to do audio... You saved me some money!
I have no idea that we can use our smartphone as streamdeck! There are so much to learn about livestream, thanks for this.
Great overview. Thank you bro!
Super video, thanks. I am going for Touch Portal
Totally to consider for this list: Deckboard (and Deckboard Pro). Great little piece of software. I've been using it for some time already.
That was helpful and awesome video!
Thank you.
I subscribe to your channel and have watched many of your vids for streaming advice, as an Old Dog musician getting used to performing for a world wide audience digitally and look lame doing so.
One of my biggest challenges is easily handling tasks or remembering to handle things (like muting the reverb channel) or starting a text scroll or whatever… while I’m also finding the next song chord chart or handling chat etc…
I have avoided the purchase of any stream deck as Ive invested more in audio hardware and software first.
I just saw the possibility of using an app based deck.
Saw that Apple had these different products.
And here you are!! Perfect timing to give an awesome (as usual) detailed and fair comparison of the different products.
Thanks for what you do. 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
I bought Touch Portal quite some time ago and loving it!
Tried the Elgato Stream Deck app after this video, absolute game changer for me, made everything so easy!!
I was lured away from OBS to Streamlabs by the Streamlabs iOS app. But too many unavailable plugins drove me back the OBS. This video is the perfect solution and I will check out Touch Portal!
13:51
You are almost certainly correct. In one of their product presentations, where they show off what the stream deck can do, they mention at the end that you can "try the steam deck using the app". So yeah, it definitely seems like it is intended as a gateway drug
Really well done comparison. I was thinking about purchasing the Stream Deck - now I can try before I buy to see if I like it. Thanks
Many thanks for this, incredible breakdown with pros/cons. I was looking for software version and found Touch Portal
Thanks for the video Really helpful!
Thanks a bunch, great video
Thanks alot for the video. You made it much easier for me.
Thank you for this. I needed just a simple ser up for a small stream and the elgato is the app for me. This saved me lots of money!
So nice work! Thanks!!
Very helpful for those new to streaming!
Wonderful video.
Still not tempted to try them because I'm not used to stream regularly and barely have views, but I still do it because I like it.
Another helpful video, thank you very much!
Great video honestly bro, very informative
Amazing tips! Thank you!!!! They are helping me a lot with my channel 😀👍🏽
Hey heard bout this vid in your podcast! I currently use slobs so will be trying out the stream labs deck. I've thought bout eventually getting an elgato stream deck. Though I wouldn't pay for the app instead of just dumping that monthly/yearly charge into saving for the physical hardware. However I might try out the elgato app prior to actually buying the physical deck as a trial.
Thank you for this and the podcast. I've found it very interesting and look forward to more!!
Nice video now I can use my phone as a stream deck alternative!
This came at just the right time. I was just about to start looking for an app to use my phone as a deck. Thanks for the video!
Another great video, thanks!
Very nice video/info. Very new on streaming so going for Touch portal. Or maybe not. Can not change anything right??
Good video!
I'am happy with stream deck for simracing
Great video. I highly appreciate it! Was wondering if there were other apps out there to use on an Ipad to assist with streaming
Thank you for the information
first time i have ever heard someone complain about the way a button vibrated
Thank you so much .. this video was vet helpful
Great content, been considering getting a physical stream deck or using a mobile alternative so this gave me some things to consider. Out of curiosity, what is that telephone stand you use in the video?
Thank you. Great content.
I have the Streamdeck XL, its an outrageous piece of kit, however it's big cumbersome and really only lends itself to studio work. I've recently started to use Touch Portal, it works on any Android running version 4.1 that means devices that are several years old or higher it's highly customisable can be used on a number of form factor devices and mobile enough to be worn on my arm. However i found it difficult to tether using USB in fact couldn't get it to work, and it does need a reliable wifi connection as it can become unresponsive upon times. My primary use for it is to control a Sports Stream and Scoreboard +, whilst filming in some very difficult conditions, normally off a club house roof open to the elements, or Pitch side in heavy rain, wind sleet snow etc. I run OBS Studio on my laptop hidden away in a rucksack. I tried using a small keyboard with inbuilt trackpad, but that was no good in wet weather, and because the scoreboard software I am using requires mouse button presses, no hot keys I was looking to devise a one button automation system. Touch Portal is great for this as it allows me to simulate a mouse button press using one Key, add a loop and you've got an accurate method of notching up scores without the headache of trying to remember how many times did I press the button. I monitor the stream using an 7 inch field monitor, and my phone whilst controlling the stream also allows me to monitor my output.
Great tips! A or to try out.
thanks man you help me alot
Awesome & Thanks :)
I have always used Roccat power grid on my android device. very good alternative but I will look into touch portal. Thanks for the video
Nice video. Was considering a stream deck. Not for streaming, but for productivity and automation. These apps might be useful to try first before deciding if I want to splash out on a streamdeck.
Autohotkey is the ultimate tool. It's free and does anything you can think of. Endless possibilities.
Buetiful video. keep up the work
Thank you for this video.
Great Job !
I've purchased Touch Portal Pro and wonder if there are some more detailed information on configuration with OBS, thanks for your video, it was the deciding factor
i like to use OBS Blade on my old ipad as a streamdeck of sorts. connects to obs wirelessly using the websocket plugin. i can switch between scenes seamlessly and i can monitor audio or twitch chat if i wanted to. also has a stats widget that shows the stats of obs like fps, cpu, memory usage, etc.
Touch Portal FTW!!
Thanks for the review. Is it possible to connect the streamdeck to a smartphone in order to turn on the necessary video fragments remotely?
Going to give Touch Portal a try. After release of Streamdeck 5.3.3. and OBS 28, my Streamdeck no longer works and Elgato has left me down for 2 weeks. Will not even consider the Streamdeck mobile app. Time to try an alternative. Thanks for putting this video together!
My new favorite button on my steam deck is a button that can set the volume of a specific app to a desired level. So I have two buttons, one completely mutes Warzone while in the pregame lobby so I can relax and still talk to discord buddies, and then when game starts, I can press another button that turns Warzone audio back to 100%. Best button I've programmed ever.
i can find a use for my old rca tablet finally!
I use a StreamDeck for video-editing that my company bought me. But ironically, the device at my fingertips all day, every-day, is a $19 prepaid LG Journey Android phone, running the stream deck app. It works flawlessly, and quite honestly I prefer it to the actual streamdeck hardware, because it sits flat on my desk where I need it, unlike the SD which is kinda bulky. I'm kinda amazed StreamDeck makes the software available, and the $3 a month or so is way worth it to me.
Would love a comparison of Touch Portal, Frags, Macro Deck, Matric and Deck Board
Bro i was litteraly about to search for this
Great content
I have elgato XL, but it is for my streaming set on-the-go (I run a Business), so I'm looking to find something to be on the table. I think I'll have to go for the elgato, because the software seems to be just so good for other stuff too, this video was really focused on pc-streaming. But I ran the elgato xl (when it was briefly on my desk) for quick icon's etc for the most part. Like running softwares and AHK macros.
What stand are you using to hold your iPhone at 00:59? I have a wireless charging stand that covers the mic on mine, but yours looks like it has openings for people to hear
Great video
Love your videos! Iv learned so much thanks!
You've quite improved on your prod quality, the visual are insane, I'm fairly impressed, and I was already loving your content before that.
(Hmm, though just lil quick note, I was swtiching to Lioran and Touch Portal vids while writing, I'm starting to wonder if you're not 5-10 db under the target, you should target 0 db/red, and I'm assuming you know that, but that vid is low for some reason compared to other sources I have on hand, including a vod of Sushi Dragon on Twitch.)
Thanks for the kind message. In regards to audio, I make all my videos match -24 LUFS using the ITU BS.1770-3 Loudness Standard.
i like the quality of your footage.
Thanks. I will level up my online teaching game.
Have you ever tried Up Deck? I am currently learning/using it, but would love to get your opinion on it.
very good video, mate , ty..for all the streaming starters its the way to go.
i think youre right with that elgato button limit, they try to force it in an hardware-buy after you got in touch with their way of usage.. you nailed it..
darn, the world is filled up with unused processors and screens, a proper full-delivering app 4 a fair fee would be better rather than a freakn console full of buttons... a programmable screen is always better than a buttoned board with same size...
Wow 6:13 the stream deck XL looks a stream deck S.M.A.L.L next to that thing. Thanks for the video imma check out TouchPortal
How is it?
Great video, super clean, but you didn't mention the most important one imp which is using Number Pad as a stream deck, buying one for 4 dollars, and making it a great stream deck for a really cheap price!
IMP?
@@themaniac5864 the most important one ( without imp, was a mistake LUL )
What tablet is that? I might have a stream deck XL but I wouldn't mind having a ton more options on a single screen with the customizability that you showed.
What theme are these Touchportal buttons from, what's their name? I definately love the vibrant look they give!
Hi, love your video! got a question for you did ya made an icon pack for your touch portal ? i like the icon showed in the video and would like to use them myself.
never mind XD just rewatched the video and you said where you got them.
so the streamdeck has 15 buttons, but can you use both stream deck and mobile app doubling your buttons to 30 or am i been a but too forward. your input would be appreciated. cheers for the video keep up the good work.
Would be interested to hear an update on this as it looks like the stream deck mobile has updated to allow more buttons
This is a GREAT vid!
Say, are there similar apps for designers in the Adobe suit, using Android?
EDIT: Really, what I mean is apps like that which send keynindings & keystrokes to the PC
Crazy that just 50 years ago none of this was possible. Crazy how far mankind and technology has come.
There's Deckboard too, less refined but defintely useful
A far more complicated one than any of those mentioned, and one I have been meaning to learn myself but Lioranboard is incredibly powerful.
I use Lioranboard, it's awesome, I've not got into the 100% programming of it all, but I use some tricks in it
True. But that UI/UX is just abysmal. They really need to put more resources into making it more pleasing to the eye and user friendly.
@@PHYLOgg That's why Touch Portal exist.
With the external apps, is there a delay in how fast the changes occur? I would assume the physical stream deck would be instaneously considering it's connected straight to the computer, vs an app connecting through the internet?
Macro Deck is also a good option, offers unlimited pages and also lots of control
Deckboard is the best alternative ever. No doubts about it. The pro version of the mobile app costs only $3.
It’s a shame that Deckboard works only for Android and I change to iOS two days ago. 😔
Greetings from Ecuador! You’re the best! 🇪🇨
Hi Marcos! I hadn't heard of Deckboard before, looks pretty neat, thanks for sharing. Hopefully they can add an iOS version too in the future.
Yeah, Touch Portal is where it's at!
I only need a streamdeck to change between 4 cameras. I bought a $12 wireless keypad and it seems to do the job!
touch portal is a god send. pro tip: you can use it on a 2in1 laptop with an emulator like nox, i have like a 120 button grid and it has more functionality than an actual professional mixer, full control of voicemeeter, discord, SLOBS, twitch, etc. The discord and entire community is great too.
I have an ipad I use as a third monitor, going to try touch portal before I get anything physical.
I used to use a spare keyboard. Your computer can't detect separate keyboards, but some flight simulator enthusiasts solved that (HIDmacros). I've since swapped to a separate numpad to have a smaller footprint on my desk. and use it as a makeshift streamdeck
