[@senit7440]

I love you thanks!!

[@gfueloniichangfuelloniicha3221]

there is a special place in heaven for people who make KZbin tutorials

[@wildmantel]

I had searched several videos that bypassed what you have shown here and I could not grasp what they were saying. You walk through was just what I needed. Thank you.

[@researcher7109]

Still on point 3 years later. Thanks!

[@alljcory]

I don't know why this worked and too tired to figure out but it was a hack of sorts using skills you taught to everything fresh out of box newb (OBS and Stream Deck and all that goes with is foreign territory). I wanted to switch cameras on same piece of OBS real estate without switching scenes (which is easy enough just by controlling inputs). However, putting multiple cameras on one piece of canvas causes layer primacy issues and just using scene to switch on and off wasn't cutting it. I used your Multi Action and set camera one to off in OBS. In Multi I called the switched off camera ist and then the already switched on camera second. I could then use the scene button I created for the switched on camera to toggle it on and off with layer primacy so both worked... I'm sure if I was fresh i could figure out what/how I did but just enough energy to throw it your way and be done for the evening. Thanks for the great tutorial !!!

[@voc999]

Fabulous Demonstration of the OBS / Stream Deck combination. Thank you very much!

[@offgridsweden]

Great video. I got the StreamDeck XL, but I use it mainly to control Premiere but I got profiles for word and excel to. It's a very useful tool. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪

[@awalldigital]

Hell yeah! It’s such a useful tool.

[@josuecaceres9194]

You explain so well that I definitely sub. to this channel

[@Housestationlive]

I just used sources instead of scene, your tutorial helped me to figured out. 1 stream on my channel today. i m using mobile version to start the stream remotely without having to edit video. incredible piece of hardware i guess. time will tell.

[@infinityfabrik]

Thank you! Because of you I can now switch between scenes easily and quickly. I appreciate you

[@danquay9504]

Thanks for explaining this in detail, I found it super helpful and as been streaming in OBS for a year now, switching scenes while DJ ing and educating and singing in my live streaming will certainly make it easier and yes you’re right it about engaging with your audience so they don’t feel left out & definitely going to buy 1

[@pietdebeer7972]

[@ZeroWolf_Panthersgaming8412]

I just bought this can you stream though obs without a capture card ?

[@connie8828]

Hi the plug-in for the stream deck is not appearing on obs, how do I connect it if it doesnt?

[@CoreyCrone]

You are a beast 👍

[@strandboy23]

As I've been digging into OBS (which works flawlessly over zoom btw from your other video on NDI) and unlocking it's massive potential I thought to myself, "this is amazing, but possibly a huge pain in the ass to use live." ... then I found this...

[@papolini109]

Hi . Why nothing shows up when i do the scenes? just made everything like your explained. it change the scene, like camera slide to the side but my new scene do not appear.

[@keilmillerjr9701]

Thank you

Only reason i ask is when i set up a live stream for a few days away it shows up in my youtube page setup have on hot key when the time comes to start i hit start stream get error pop up saying I need to manage broadcast? but just did it a few days ago? ant help please.

[@leannequeen8744]

How do you save everything you have done on stream deck

[@jaybrian5]

I would have liked to see how a default transition can be applied to the scene buttons that were created.

[@Stiefanek]

Is There A Play Video Option?

[@amedyassine]

Ho to link OBS Studio to Stream Deck (software version)

[@snowflakee12]

Hello, I can’t use OBS with my elgato stream deck because the remote control plugin is missing can you help me please?

[@Tyllrrrr]

[@AndrewMcSpadden]

What do you use to draw on screen? Also are you using stream deck to change drawing tools?

[@samet9987]

ALLAH razi olsun thx bro

[@joshuaholloway]

Can I use my strength deck?

[@jameygarner5866]

Love your videos. Question... can I use the Rodecaster Pro with the Streamdeck into OBS??

[@TrishTalksofficial]

Thank you so much, we are new streamers and have been trying to figure out the best way to stream to our different platforms while at the same time offering great quality for everyone. We recently got the stream deck and your explanation was on point and easy to follow! Do you have any recommendations for new streamers, such as programs for them to look for and try out? Keep up the awesome job!

[@Lainlegend]

would this still work with streamlabs OBS?

[@innomind]

What would be the easiest OBS setup to bring four 4K Sony camcorders using Elgato Camlink 4k in tandem with Elgato Stream Deck. What 4K HDMI splitter do you recommend?

[@getthewordouttoday]

QUESTION: Yes or No works if you see this comment on your old video. Right now, I use OBS hotkeys on the keyboard to switch between scenes but I constantly run into issues of it not working when an application on my non-OBS monitor is selected. When I hit the hotkey, I mess something up in Keynote, other software, or lose my spot on a KZbin video I'm reacting to. Then, I have to select OBS to get the hotkeys to work again (and sometimes they just stop working altogether). Will the streamdeck and its OBS plugin fix this problem? (so I can switch scenes flawlessly without accidentally hitting a shortcut key in another application at the same time)

[@Swissco9665]

@awalldigital what is your procedure to program my stream deck I cant seem to get anything going on it, I have the 15 key deck.

[@deanofdeans254]

Nice video! im sad my "sound board play audios" are not sounding Full and Clear on OBS (recording or streaming). The audio keeps cutting in and out when i activate a multiaction that has sound added w/ Play Audio. Im using the wave 3 and the wave link software. I have the Stream deck Output set to SFX tab in Wave Link. I can hear it crystal clear, OBS just cant record or stream this sound clearly it picks up the sound just very dim and fading in and out. Any suggestions?

[@Hospitalitydefender1]

Great video! Can the break splash screens etc. be incorporated into Streamyard or Restream as well? Is OBS a necessary go-between or can it be done with Stream Deck alone?

[@jasonmatthewson]

Question is do I buy this stream deck or a BL Atem mini / mini pro ?

[@pierrebessette2018]

Hello. Thanks a lot. It's cristal clear ! pelase could you say me the reference/reference of you microphone support ? ones again thanks.

[@vanixx9389]

In my stream deck i cant pick a Quell, pls help me

[@stock7628]

This thing is Dope

[@RewindZPRO]

Great video. Just a quick question. How can I setup Stream Deck for 2 Twitch accounts? I have one for my gaming community account and my own account. When I switch accounts Stream Deck resets all the scenes and I have to manually change them. Is there any way I can switch accounts without affecting the scenes?

[@RewindZPRO]

@El Club Gaming and Tech I tried that. Streamlabs OBS keeps resetting it on both profiles.

[@ladypanicpants8928]

unless u have the elgato plug in not recognized problem - none of this works sadface ...if anyone knows a fix plz help me, ive been struggling for a week trying to find a fix

[@ricardomola3679]

Thanks ... someone told me that we can use screen deck to change cameras during my live videos , do you know how can I do that ?

[@awalldigital]

Making tutorials on that right now.

[@Robynloveshred]

I am having trouble getting OBS to work. Will the Stream Deck help in setting up OBS. Mainly it's getting the background images for video calls. I want to use it for video calls with Kaiser who uses Microsoft Teams. Later I want to use it to make music videos guitar and songs from my KZbin channel. It's frustrating to get the background with OBS. Thank You.

[@Ylopo]

Are you using an ipad with a stylus to write on the screen when you're showing us what to do?

[@kelly806]

How many "actions" can be placed under one key? For example...I want to switch to a break scene-mute mi-and play music. Can this be done?

[@jhfred]

No idea if there’s a limit, but you can have a lot of actions in a multi action.

[@kelly806]

@@jhfred Thanks. About to try one and see how we like it.

[@PortaDraun]

This video really does help me a lot. Just one thing I want to know, what is that animation (pink,blue triangle animation) called in your video to switch from your facecam to your screen recording, I know it is on the editing because it is a KZbin video but can I also put that kind of animation during stream for like before I switch back to my facecam I could play it first? I am really finding an answer to that and I hope you can help me with it.

[@OperationBoyzTV]

I need your help

[@ThinkShift]

Fantastic video, thank-you! Everything you demonstrated works perfectly on my Stream Deck EXCEPT for the "Source" button programming. When I program an image or video clip into a button it shows up but it does not trigger the action automatically. All the other buttons execute the required tasks (including camera changes, recording, website launches etc), but anything programmed through the "source" does not launch. Those scenes only launch if I click them in OBS. If I click them in OBS they launch fine and I can then stop and start them with the Stream Deck. It seems that once the scene of the "source" file is highlighted in OBS, the assigned stream deck button will work, but if I'm on a different scene, then the stream deck does not launch the source (hope all that makes sense). I can't find a solution online and I'm hoping you might have an idea? Thanks again.

[@pacmanlp8876]

How do you draw on your screen? Thanks

[@williamstewart8272]

Hello, do you help offline?

[@anbu145.]

What if it doesn't let me drag from the right?

[@JamesKever]

Hi. Fairly new YT creator here. Is there any way to set up a preview and take a transition to program using the Streamdeck? If so, I can't figure it out. Seems like it's just take source. Also, is there another resource... a Discord or Telegram channel on this subject of OBS & Streamdeck that you know of?

[@CeeBuck14]

Man I could really use your help. I am new to this and think I have everything I need. I have a Panasonic Lumix G-7, Elgato capture card, stream deck and media connector for the camera. Steam elements and stream labs and a 6 foot green screen but I don't now how to set this all up. I desire to learn how. Are you able to help?

[@awalldigital]

Absolutely! Just book me at www.awalldigital.com/

[@AngelaMcCallDigitalCreative]

Hello Awall, firstly thank you for making this video. Question... I like to live stream tutorials on youtube that teach marketing and business concepts. If I was to program an intro button, I'm about to purcahse the regular sized streamdeck. I want to know, if I wanted to use the multifunction button could I program it, to play a 16 second video mp4 intro, and then once finished automatically enable my mic and display my live stream overlays? Then when I want to run a "subscribe n stay notified" call to action button, this can mute my mic, flash up my socials (programmed in a OBS scene) etc... all at the touch of a button. Leaving my mind clear to stay on topic about what it is I am saying and not getting myself distracted with the tech.

[@awalldigital]

[@deadbear1099]

Hi I use different browsers for different uses. E.g. Chrome for all my browsing, Opera for all my social media, Edge for my work. I am setting up the stream deck, setting up website shortcuts. However all shortcuts open in the default browser i.e. Chrome. How do I make certain websites to open in specific browser? E.g. Outlook to open in Edge, but KZbin to open in Chrome. Thanks

[@awalldigital]

Your question is a bit too in-depth for me to answer in the comment section DeadBear. If you would like to speak with me one-on-one you can book me for coaching directly here: www.awalldigital.com/

[@regenytarmovies]

Can I use StreamDeck in Studio mode then use a transition to activate live view?

[@JamesKever]

This is an excellent question. I'd love to know the answer.

[@Kamuy92]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VID MY GUY,YOU EARN A SUB ;)

[@francishung]

Can you explain how to use stream deck to share a website while doing streaming on Facebook and KZbin via Resteam? and how to play a separate video while streaming. Thanks very much for your help.

[@AvsHockeyMan]

Do you stream directly via ReStream, or do you use OBS to stream to ReStream? The answer to that question will determined the answer to your question

[@terriblepker_]
