5 Stream Deck Alternatives For Brand New Streamers!

[@nuttylmao]

Let me know which Stream Deck app was your favorite or if there are any that I didn't even look at :D - nutty

[@ElysiaGriffin]

StreamPuppy is another alternative that was made by fellow streamer Instafluff that Ive enjoyed using :)

[@legendtech9803]

Touch Portal FTW!

[@DmCCrimson]

I use touch portal and it works great for what i need it for.

[@CybaGirl]

I looked at the ones you suggested and ended up finding another app called "StreamControl - Remote for OBS & Streamlabs OBS" which I am now using as it basically set itself up with everything you need. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.t4ils.obs_remote&hl=en_US Sadly there doesn't seem to be an iPhone version of it though which would have been handy as I have my iPhone on my computer desk these days. I had a look at StreamLabs OBS and the remote app for it. But in my opinion StreamLabs is all about making money from Scene Themes , Widget Themes, and Site Themes as to get anything decent you have to sign up to Prime which isn't affordable for everyone. The Site Themes option is a great idea but again Prime is not an affordable option for everyone. So I went back to StreamElements which I think is much easier to use and has a lot more free content and when bundled with the StreamControl app life is so much easier now. Hopefully in the future StreamElements will incorporate a Site Theme option. Unless someone knows of a program to incorporate your streams and past streams etc into a webpage? I also downloaded DeckBoard but haven't tried it out yet. But I will. But from what I have seen and used of StreamControl I am more than happy with that.

I think this deserves a few follow ups. like every 6 months to see what new features and changes they have received. Thanks for the video.

[@playinggamespoorly6531]

Yup, started using deckboard a couple of weeks ago as I get used to upping my presentation production quality with OBS Studio and they seem to now have shading to indicate active buttons. Works great on an old touchscreen chromebook running the Android app to serve as a permanent tablet sized screen for the app for me.

[@ClaudioBOsorio]

Foillowup: I can confirm Touchportal now includes everything previously criticized here.

[@mrphysics2625]

Elgato really needs to stop charging such a ridiculous premium for their products.

[@ts6603]

yep the prices are scamm. i mean you can literally buy an old dogshit led computermonitor that can be broken for normal use for below 100$ and put it on max brightness and you have a "keylight" and these guys charge 200$ for a freaking led panel xD

[@mrphysics2625]

@@ts6603 yea, glad to see they are charging appropriately with the wave microphone.

[@tomkent4656]

The price will drop when they've covered their R & D costs.

[@woswasdenni1914]

@@tomkent4656 they had no R&D they bought an existing product from an OEM, then added some software. only the second gen streamdecks are more invovlement by them. and no price wont drop ever, new economy doesnt make preices based on material value, prices are set on whats the maximum people are willing to pay. for this they spend millions on market surveys and marketing

[@theredbird2384]

T S lmao ur right actually but that thing is BIG and a keylight is small so it has its advantages

[@Ricecooka]

I was literally looking at the Stream Deck app, hesitant about paying the sub price, and then finding this video in my recommended. Thanks for helping align the stars or whatever to make this happen.

[@SethGlenn]

Would love to see an updated video for 2020. With the whole world going online and streaming continuing to grow, would love to see if you think these are still viable, or what features they now have. Thanks for the video!

[@TheWeedcontroller]

DeckBoard can create clips and stream markers, if it's connected to your twitch account you just need it to issue the chat command and be listed as a Mod in your stream :)

[@RobH8210]

Great overview. Might want to redo this as Touch Portal just updated and fixed a few of the items you mentioned. PErsonally used it and can't justify a stream deck anymore.

[@dontmindmejustwatching]

Man, loving this content. Also you were the first in search results for obs and stream related stuff. Just so you know. :)

[@Ballissle]

If you did an update on this, touch portal can do literally everything the streamdeck can now and more. And it has a back page button to go to previous page, or a button for home page, and gif support, full custom icons, backgrounds, text. You can even set up a clock or hardware monitoring. And you can have external plugins to do even more that they haven't integrated. And if it doesn't have something, you can use it to run any application or powershell script etc.

[@ALIENiAM]

Bro, i was so dissapointed to see how many subscribers you have on YT...i was expecting 100k + because your Quality is just flawless. The Jokes are funny, your voice is smooth, the moves with the hands and moreover ofc your explanations and the structure of the presentation is Top Tier. . I subbed to all the things, and wish you constanty and fast growth buddy...totally deserve it. Thanks for all the infos, exactly the in-depth-Video i needed. Think i will go with the Elgato App to set things up for the beginning because having one or two Streamdecks in the Future is also a "Flexxing Thing" to have, but moreover, it looks just awesome on your desktop. . Though having the 100+ MEME Gifs/Vids/Sound Alerts ready on a Tablet with Touchportal, together with the StreamDeck APP which only will have Funtional Macros for Scenes/Lights/Sources,...is maybe even better :) o7 (salute you) Awesome Video, keep it up my friend. Best regards directly from my UFO ALIEN_I_AM

[@travisd2890]

Great Video bud. Thanks for adding a little comedy also. I would have liked to see more in use examples but overall, good stuff. I used your link to download streamlabs deck

Just to let ya know Deckboard does now darken a button that is a active scene, can do so much with it now I have gifs for my buttons

[@markkayser426]

Touch Portal has gone wild since this was done. New plugins, pages, and icon packs are being done fast and furious. Zoom and Voicemeeter now work with pages already created. Spotify works if you have a paid Spotify account. The best thing is they ported it back to older versions of Android so it works great on my old tablet.

[@ScottFichter]

Dude! I can't believe you're at 800 Subscribers. You have skills man. Keep you the great work. No joke. You're gonna make it just keep fighting. This was a terrific tutorial and your lighting reminds me of mine.

Thanks for the review dude!

[@TouchPortalapp]

After your review we updated our icon pack and created an Icon Pack system so you can import other Icon Packs straight into Touch Portal. Besides that we created some premium Streaming Icon Packs and a Twitch Icon Pack, check out our discord for the Twitch Icon Pack, and for the Free Streaming Pack, check out our website. Keep up the good work.

I know that this is a year old vid, but I tried Touch Portal recently and it can do so much more now than what it did when this video was made. Touch Portal is my current recommendation. And it isn't only for streaming, I use it with my IDE, Premiere Pro, OBS, Twitch, it has a Spotify plugin now, and different functions on my computer. I even have it set up for Eve Online. I'd give it another look.

Give StreamControl on Android a try. No PC interface...all the setup is done on your phone/tablet. I've got mine working on a Nexus 7 (2013). Does the basic controls very well and is surprisingly customizable for a free (ad-supported, with a one-time suggested donation option to remove ads for as little as $2).

[@borisgutbrod8685]

[@freshmanproject2146]

Thanks man for the tip with Streamlabs Remote. Its a good alternative as streamdeck ^^

[@nuttylmao]

It's really really easy to setup and use and is pretty fluid but it doesn't offer nearly enough customizability to be a true Stream Deck alternative. Deckboard and Touch Portal are closer to the true Stream Deck experience.

[@pilot24810]

For the same price as Stream Deck, I purchased the Enterpad P120 from CEDEQ which has 120 keys (and 240 keys when switching between the 2nd virtual layout) instead of 32 keys withe the Steam Deck . Then, I use their free and easy-to-use program called ShortKeeper with the Enterpad which lets you create and trigger your own shortcuts in Windows so you can instantly access files/folders/webpages/programs, basically what ever you want. I can tell you that the Enterpad P120 has not only been fantastic for gaming but has saved me soo much time at work!

[@Ballissle]

Can do all that with touch portal. But unlimited pages and 110 buttons per page.

[@pilot24810]

​@@Ballissle Touch portal is no way near the Enterpad. To make touch portal work, you need to buy a tablet big enough to fit all 110 keys, which comes with it's own problems. Then with the touchscreen, it's not as practical because you end up triggering accidentally a few commands at the same time, and you don't have any feeback when touching the pad which should assure you that your command was sent properly. The Enterpad is a commercial-grade, proven and reliable programmable keyboard. Not to mention that Touch Portal doesn't support AutoHotKey which enables complexe automated macros, etc..

[@Ballissle]

@@pilot24810 actually, first of all, there is no reason to need all 110 on the one screen. Just make as many pages as you want and switch between them with a button on each page for specific tasks. I've run it on a small phone as well as an ipad just fine. And I've never had issues with hitting multiple buttons at once so unless you have fat fingers and bad hand coordination that isn't a problem. Plus you can resize the buttons and pages how ever you like. You can get vibration feedback or set animations such as shaking or shrinking buttons when pressed so again, not an issue. And finally you can do any macro possible. If you really want to go crazy you could set up powershell or batch scripts or create your own plugins to further extend functionality to do anything.
