Elgato Stream Deck Complete Setup Tutorial

[@falmenara]

the best tutorial I've seen for the Stream Deck. Awesome job, very complete and interesting

[@ChristosGeorgiades9]

My goodness, what a wonderful video! Unusually well presented and enjoyable, especially for a tutorial, AND I finally appreciate my Stream Deck XL that has just been gathering dust for a few months, AND I’m really glad I found your channel! Well done!

[@Roz-Inspire-Video]

1:27 … Fabulous stuff - Thanks! Ps great streaming endurance - you have - great work!!!

[@TakeOneTech]

Thank you kindly!

[@Chancholoraq]

You are the freaking man!! Really Elgato should be sponsoring you

[@TakeOneTech]

Thanks! Well, I wouldn't turn it down if the offered! 😉

[@Roz-Inspire-Video]

2:29 pedal is very cool thanks

[@TakeOneTech]

I could not live without my pedals! So useful. :-)

[@philshotsauce]

I am just starting to plan for live streaming and had already decided I wanted to begin with a Stream Deck. Your presentation skill is over the moon! I am so glad I found your channel. I am going to learn a lot from you! Thank you so much. Cheers.

[@TakeOneTech]

You made my day! So pleased that you are finding my videos helpful!

[@AnuruddhaKarunanayake]

You are the best teacher for stream deck. Now I know everything about it. Thank you for your hard work.

[@GlendasCreativePlace]

Unbelievably thorough as always Alec. I needed sooooo many things in this video. Will be totally redoing my SD after this!!! Alec, thank you so very, very much, yet again!!!

[@TakeOneTech]

Thanks Glenda! Glad it was helpful 🙏😊

[@limtc3453]

I’ve decided to pull the trigger for a 15 keys mk2 after watched your tutorial for 2.5hours. Totally worth my time. Give me a clear understanding of SD potentials to boost my productivities that i’ve been looking for. Many more to be discover after i get my unit on hand. Thank you.

[@TransplantHelper]

The stream deck has been one of the best purchases of my life. I’d be thrilled to get the newest one with knobs.

[@TakeOneTech]

I'm the same! I bought the stream deck for scene switching in my videos and live streams.... I never realised at the time just what a game changer it would be for personal productivity! I'll be posting a video review of the Stream Deck + later today or tomorrow! If you haven't done already, be sure to enter my StreamDeck+ giveaway too! www.takeonetech.io/giveaway

[@thevorpodcast2]

​@@TakeOneTechsir..good video..i was just given one of the XL's the other day.. learning how to use it.. Do u have a vid for using with OBS? I am doing podcasting and the deck will simplify my life..

[@darrylwharris2899]

Can't believe how much I've learned from you. Tops!!!

[@Roz-Inspire-Video]

1:53 … using a hotkey triggers my screen saver shortcut instead of adding the key on my SD. Wondering if the shortcuts video may help (I think you mentioned this in this video Alec(?) … thank you again for your work on these videos.

[@TakeOneTech]

Hey Roz, still thinking about this one as not sure what the issue is following our conversation in Discord! :-)

[@RockG.o.d]

I'm thinking about getting one of these for logic pro. Now I wouldn't get this usually, but I am also planning on streaming eventually while making music, so might be useful, so when making music on stream, can plug it into pc, and when making music by self, then can use it on mac.

[@TakeOneTech]

You will not regret getting a Stream Deck! I bought it originally for streaming and live video production... that is it's original intended purpose when Elgato designed it. However, it was only once I had it that I realised what an amazing productivity tool in general it is. I use it in every aspect of my daily work on my computer - everything from opening and closing files folders and apps and setting up my various workspaces, to shortcuts in office apps like Excel, Keynote, Word and the like, to triggering other automation workflows in applications like Keyboard maestro. Honestly, it is a productivity game changer and once you get one for your music production use case, you'll quickly realise you can use it very effectively for a whole lot more. :-)

[@RockG.o.d]

@@TakeOneTech does it store the settings on the streamdeck, or is it the computer its plugged into which stores the settings?

[@Seeyalost]

Amazingly helpful. Thank you 🎉

[@geoffhawkins6063]

Caught up using #replay - a full day's worth of materiel to study. Great stuff Alec.

[@TakeOneTech]

Glad it was helpful Geoff!

[@superchargecoach]

This is just the tutorial I needed! Just got my Streamdeck and needed to understand it better. Thanks Alec!!

[@LBCBranding]

Awesome stream as usual Alec! I'm updating my stream deck as we speak!🙌🏾

[@TakeOneTech]

Thanks Michelle!

[@JrProTV]

Thank you for all the information!!!

[@pipotafel2494]

Great input. Thanks so much. Could not have found my way into getting started that well with it without this video @Alec were you able to create a Hotkey to do "ctrl-Tabulator" to switch back to the last program used? The Stream Deck app does not recognize that combination

[@FragaGeddon]

@19:16 Yes, don't use folders! If you need to let's say create a folder for various things, create a new profile instead. Then just link that button to the profile instead of a folder. If you accidently delete a folder, everything inside that folder is gone forever.

[@tabithasavage4625]

This is a wonderful video for newbies!! I'm wanting to to use stream deck to open a new google doc in a specific folder- I can't for the life of me figure out the flow to make this happen. Any thoughts?

[@lesgaston-johnston3058]

Do you have a video that shows how to set up controls for a webcam on the Stream Deck.

[@TakeOneTech]

I don't have a video about that, but I should!! i'll put it on the video ideas list. 🙏😊

[@_lifewithlloyd_]

How to you move icons from one page to another? I’m trying to reorganize my board. Thanks

[@hrcarlsson]

I need somthing like this for the Streamdeck Plus please

[@davidsosna3370]

Interesting. Profiles are one or more page collections of events to raise to cause actions to happen. Every profile can have zero too many references to other profiles. Very flexible. Suggests lots of exit routes to next set of reasonably connected operations. Good, thorough review. Thanks.

[@johnryan9458]

Hi! Just getting to know Stream Deck before buying one. Is it possible to copy/load instances from one device to another one? Thanks.

[@mamaschronicles]

Great work... it would be awesome if you could focus on overview and answer Q at the end... is there a button for that 🤔 Kidding 😆

[@TakeOneTech]

I try to keep myself on track during livestreams, but do tend to get distracted! I do wish there was a button for that too!! 😂

[@SKHYJINX]

Timestamps would have been a nice touch, but overall thanks I found the part I needed anyway.. great tutorial thanks for putting it together.

[@micro-pixels]

hy, great tutorial, i wonder if there is a way to cycle icon on the SD. In photoshop if i push L it give me the lasso, if i press again L, i want it to display polygonal lasso then again the magnet lasso etc.. thank you

[@mellowbug]

My hot keys aren't working? The buttons all show yellow explanation mark when pressed.

[@Gawdsmackk]

I am having issues deciding between Stream deck XL and stream deck +

[@smadyans]

XL can be replaced by ur unused phone

[@asiastormy8728]

Can you set up 2-3 stream deck devices to one PC system and not have conflict issues to running all of them. Was thinking to buy more than one to use.

[@Bryster51]

According to Elgato website. One can run multiple stream decks on same computer. Even use one to control one other.

[@SyphiriaDK]

MY HEADSET cant be detected by XL streamdeck ... and i got the latest update even 20596 :( I have artic steelseries 9 and i dont dont know why you have so many categories on your right side of the screen. I only have "Multi action" "Navigation" "soundboard" "stream deck" "streamlabs" "System" & Discord" :/ I dont see "Devices anywgere or any of the others you have :/ HELP ME PLEASE

[@michael_KD8GIJ]

Very nice, in-depth overview. Wish you had some windows equivalent videos. I realize there just some keystroke differences sometime (Command vs Ctrl) , but it can vary greatly with which software and utilities are available across the two, such as ecamm and Keyboard Maestro being Mac only (I hope I'm now exposing my ignorance here). Would be great to see a Windows focused approach.

[@coachdan007]

Hi Alec - long time listner, first time caller (commenter) Is there a way to use the stream deck to activate chrome extensions? For example, webclippers to various apps (Notion, Asana, Things3, Readwise, etc) Thanks for your work.

[@gregjonesdfw]

My Stream Deck drop down page only has 3 items in menu, Timer, Brightness and Sleep. Is there an additional download?

[@TakeOneTech]

Since I made this video the stream deck software was updated (and you likely have that latest version). They have now split the Stream Deck actions into 3 sections: Stream Deck, Navigation and Multi-Action... you should now find what you are looking for in one of those 3 sections. 😊

[@Irshaad88]

Can I control GVM lights with the streamdeck. GVM lights are usually controlled via Bluetooth on its dedicated app. The app does not appear to have keyboard shortcuts, and only works with mouse control.

[@InterCity134]

Thought I'd discovered a new tool in Pro Mouse, but alas there is no Windows version out there at this point (Jan 2023).. if there was in the past, those links no longer contain a Windows build. I really like the magnifier effect around the mouse (the halo ring) as that is exactly the right thing for presenting tutorials. Ah well.

[@qinghuazhang9865]

Enjoy your video very much. I am quite new and got StreamDeck mobile 2 weeks ago with lifetime version. I have 2 questions to consult you: 1. I set 4x8 buttons. Can I set another 2x3 or 2x4 etc buttons page for any new profiles and how to do that? 2. If I can do a 2x3 or 2x4 etc buttons format, can I enlarge the button/icon image frame to have a more clear/larger picture of the icons appeared on my Ipad? Appreciate your help.

[@Rudyworld]

I can't get mine to accept hot key up arrow and q and down error and q. Is there a way of doing thst.

I need a tiktok sound folder..

[@Humblentough]

Dont test the app first. Buy the thing right away. It is good.

[@TakeOneTech]

I totally agree... Stream Deck is a Game Changer for productivity! I always recommend trying the app first though so people aren't just taking my word for it. I think I tried the app for all of an hour before deciding I should just buy the Stream Deck! 😂. Best Tech purchase I've ever made!

[@stevemount]

Great video but I had a hell of a time listening to you talk. Every other word is uhh or umm.

[@_Iamdmoney]

Stfu who cares. The info was great.

Nah after I read this it all I could hear 😂
