10 reasons why the Stream Deck is a gem at the office

[@rob_wish]

Helpful explanation of how you use profiles. I just got my Stream Deck a few days ago and have been wondering how to approach organizing groups of buttons. I’m going to try your method. Thank you!

[@boldottoman]

Great video. Would love to see an update on this. To understand how much you've grown into it!

[@fku9999]

was thinking the same 😄

I'm loving my MK2. Especially handy for switchng between virtual desktops and Remote/Virtual machines.

[@TheRealTommyR]

I didn’t think of this use case

[@nick_merchant]

Wonderful video. Precise, to the point, well-rehearsed and absolutely no waste of time. Thank you for making this video.

[@NikP_archive_channel]

can't agree more! A great video indeed.

[@pieter-6385]

Thank you, i've looked at somewhat 100 video's and this is what I needed. I would use it for office use, just have to decide whether I go for 15 or 32 now :)

We run VBA using stream deck. We use it for ourselves and for our clients. e.g. we press one button which opens up a Excel file and then executes macro, after it finish task it closes the file. Stream deck helps a lot and looks nice on the desk however, it's important to recognize that VBA remains the core tool that truly revolutionizes efficiency and time-saving measures

WOW - your video production is very slick - thank you for showing us the possibilities Geir - you're a STAR

[@eddiehenrard5251]

Thanks for your precise & informative video Geir. I have been trying to sort out which approach to use to organise my StreamDeck, and your explanation of folders and profiles has helped clarify that. Now to decide and programme…

[@oscaragudelo5796]

Just got mine I already love it. I will program it and play with it for the next year and next year present this to my boss for a raise

If you are a Mac user you can really do amazing automations with Keyboard Maestro. Windows has similar programs I hear. I have the 32 button Stream Deck XL. One cool thing with Keyboard Maestro is you can change icons on buttons on the fly, and the button titles as well. You can even change icons and titles on other buttons based on what you choose to automate on any specific button.

Thank you for making this video. I'd love to see a deep dive into resources and how you've set it up

[@gregbremner]

Concise video focussed on the info I needed. Thanks for making it.

[@GeneralChangFromDanang]

Who would've thought anything useful would come from the streamer world? I'll definitely be getting one for CAD/CAM work at my business.

[@vesaruusunen5685]

Streamdeck is great. I use Stream deck pedal with Excel. For example I can duplicate a row with foot Other great shortcuts are Multiply with the number on clipboard (CTRL + Alt + V V M) Add with the number on clipboard (CTRL + Alt + V V D) Stream Deck+ is great with powerpoint. I use rotary knobs to resize, position ja turn object and change the order of the layers. There's also a native Teams pluging published this spring. I can now raise hand and applause with my foot😂

[@rmanning4]

Thank you for your assistance with your time, this has helped me.

[@zy9662]

Gracias

[@daniel-bayarea-running]

Awesome info which I was just looking for for "Office" work. On kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5LWnGd6lLaUl7c where u opened multiple screens, what's the process of opening multiple windows in 2 screens WITH the right pages opened in each window? For example, in my screen one, I like page A, page B, page C open in browser A; browser B will have page D, E, F opened. In Screen 2, I would like to open browser C, with page G, H, I open. Can this be done in stream deck ALONE or I need another software in conjunction to do this? Thank you so much!!

[@sergpryimachuk]

Thank you for the video. It was pretty interesting. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@martindubreuil7751]

very good ..

[@wolfesmediaden]

I don't know if you play video games...but you need to play Satisfactory it's all about Automating stuff to be as efficient as possible. Also, great review!

[@GeirWaalerNO]

Thanks for the tips! That game does sound interesting!

[@SierraX369]

I'm using it in the office. I have a few permanent customers where I have to use different Tools with some similar features but different Shortcuts (e.g. Switch Tabs in different Browser). ssh to machines I have to use more often then others. Commands I have to use often. I used a similar Device 6 years ago was called Infinitton… but the software was not updated since 2016 I have a few things to criticize about the software (out of the box): You cant simulate mouse buttons (on Mac you need a workaround e.g. with Better Touch Tool) You cant work with Variables (e.g. Current Time and Date as Text) To set a Hotkey like ^ + Tab (what is not recognized on a Mac) is not very Intuitive F20 is not accepted in Mac OS. Why is it an option in the Software? About the 6 Key version. For work where you just need a few buttons outside of your Computer it is handy to have a smaller version And you are able to control a stream deck with a stream deck (I saw on Etsy a setup with 2 SD XL Side by side and a smaller one on the top)

[@GeirWaalerNO]

Thanks for your insights, and many good points! I'm afraid I'm not a Mac user, not sure if any of the plugins would be of any help with the mouse actions? On controlling a Stream Deck with another Stream Deck; you are indeed able to control profile switching on one Stream Deck by setting up a button on another Stream Deck.

[@SierraX369]

@@GeirWaalerNO It was more a Statement or a User story than a question for help... There are different ways on Mac to realise the Mouse Action thing. But nothing out of the box (you need always a Plugin or "External" service) With Plugin: There is a Apple Script Plugin available. Maybe Keyboard Maestro can do the same. With "external" Service: The Better Touch Tool can create an HTTP Server where you are able to start Actions from Stream Deck by "Open Website" with "GET Request in Background" The BetterTouchTool Developer work for a few months on a Stream Deck Plugin for his Tool
