Top 6 Stream Deck Plugins You SHOULD Be Using

[@Senpai]

Alright, it's time. What Stream Decks do you have and what do you use your buttons for?

[@anatanoshiii]

well i have been using EVERY stream deck video you got to set up mine i have it to change scenes.......and clip my twitch stream create markers for later use manage my discord turn on and off certain voice channels and voice mods start and stop my Spotify playing you guessed it streambeats by this awesome youtuber... hmm cant seem to remember his name anyway all that and a few fine tuning buttons for when i edit my clips and upload them to tiktok anything i missed Mr. Heller.........KNOBS

[@dclasair]

Stream Deck, Stream Deck XL, and Stream Deck+. Other than scene switching in OBS, I use them for: Discord Channel surfing, Twitch channel surfing, audio control (Stream Deck+ and Wave Link), keeping track of different time zones, and buttons that enter text into chat with links that support my friends. I use those features almost every day. I produce shows in multiple time zones, so having something where I can see time zones next to each other is amazing. Thanks for the video.

[@tealgt350.discgolf]

Stream Deck and im ashamed to say that i barely stream and i use it maybe 2 or 3 times a stream to hit like 2 buttons😂

[@bucky8988]

Streamdeck mini, I love that little thing so much! I don't have to grab my mouse anymore while DJ'ing :o The most used button for me is the one that shows the artwork of my originals in VR with a single press. I feel bad for not picking up a streamdeck sooner!

[@Lattenkiste]

I have 2 StreamDecks, one for each streaming setup. Changing scenes is something that I do the least often, almost never. I use the buttons for enabling and disabling audio sources, hiding and showing and switching cameras, on screen graphics, incrementing counters, starting and stopping and switching timers, and some mod actions like Followers Only mode and starting a raid if I have a predetermined target. Most common use is to mute/unmute my mic.

[@milkyk3n]

I'm renting but I totally hate this wall in here. It's coming down

[@mews8812]

😂😂😂

[@JerridFoiles]

You heard Harris. If that little voice in your head says knock it down, you LISTEN!

[@jimmyvance1]

Don't let your dreams be dreams

[@AssassinShun]

Just Do It

[@AlexAlcyone]

I'll bring pizza

[@OlafsLeftArm]

A good thing to note, is that many Stream Deck plugins run as an application on the background (you can find them from task manager etc.). So having many installed might affect the computers performance.

[@DJkautionNY]

1. Viewer count button 2. Plugin showing who's live so I can just use that to raid into them 3. CPU usage 4. One page showing different time zones and weather 5. Magic 8ball to show on stream as a channel point redemption Never realized the speediest plugin before this. Thanks so much! Having that running every few minutes is awesome.

[@shaky_wombat]

I use the stream decks and pedals as accessibility tools. I have a button to toggle mousse smooth, and disable regular mouse buttons, swapping them to the pedals. Perfect way to get around the tremor in my right hand when it's really severe.

[@Anna_Rae]

My best friend loves streaming since I set up all her hotkeys on the stream deck. They manage her Vtuber model, her scenes, hue lights, discord user volume, etc. I even made a very lengthy macro that sets up her OBS, Vtube studio, and all the other stuff she needs for streaming. Resizes the windows too to make the best use of space on her screen.

[@Damphyre]

#7 you can have dedicated set ups for certain games as well. As an example star citizen or elite dangerous I run a bunch of keys that trigger things in game like lift up landing gear, or contact station air control towers etc.

[@yrmqueenacanthus]

I have the 32 button streamdeck. In my effort to up my streaming game, I've got a full 8 page set up for pages, scenes, sounds, animations, poses, cameras, and facial expressions for my Vtubing models. I come from a tech theatre background, so I've been spending my time recently converting that workflow for myself via streaming, and the utility of the streamdeck.

[@drakonisasmrtist9471]

I’ve actually been using it more for flight simulator than streaming lately. I set it up to do pretty much whatever I want in the sim, but I use it mostly for quickly switching between different camera views. I also use it to control my lights, and I’m gonna see how I can make it work for me in my DAW as well.

[@NankaGaming]

What I use the most: jump between the scenes, make a clip with Atrium vertical, mute, hide/unhide camera, show/hide certain sources. I never thought of the idea with the light like you shoed in this video, this is genius! Gonna try it tonight:)

[@ViktorTstreams]

I'm not the type of person who often leaves comments (almost never), but here I'm willing to make an exception. Harris, you have always been a source of useful information and here you are again saving my day. I spent all day looking for how to use Stream Deck to move the windows position and you were the only one who could help. As always - the best

[@thunderstar254]

Seriously golden information

[@adesiree]

I use mine for helping me with coding, with repeating actions, swapping between IDEs and projects. When streaming, I use my stream deck for sound effects, scenes, widgets, minigames, autoban bots, speed test, for moderating other channels, recording a specific source, screenshoting everything or a specific source, having a preview on what friendly channels are live, and a lot more (including my own Stream Deck plugins). And, most importantly, because I'm legally deaf, I use it for adjusting my audio for my end alone.

[@JerridFoiles]

Scott, your editing is becoming Harris' side kick. Harris is up here talking about Stream decks and you edit in little zingers and what not. I really enjoy your editing style. Keep up the good work.

[@dracogordon788]

I'm on the other side, I absolutely hate it.

[@Ki11ersix]

Great video. Thanks for constantly going above and beyond to help us all be better streamers

[@theonelad3028]

i dont know how i feel about youtubers i watch interact 🤣

[@FischtankProductions]

Hey Harris how many pages of buttons can you have on this thing? Thanks for another dope video.

[@MxGlory]

Don't you need a Philips Hue Bridge in order to use the smart plug? Or am I missing something? The bridge isn't required if the stream deck can somehow connect to it via bluetooth, but that isn't possible.

[@oldnerdreviews]

I have mine set up for scenes, starting and stopping my streams, spinning my wheel, changing cams, Tweeting things out, turning my lights on and off, and mostly for sound bytes of all sorts.

[@ZombieBrainz]

Please make sure you do not take down a load-bearing wall. It could be catastrophic. As for the Streamdeck, I love the Teams plugin - so useful during meetings because I’m always multitasking and don’t want to find the bloody teams window to mute/unmute and do other useful stuff.

[@usauas9703]

Loved the explanation! Not a Stream Deck owner yet…. But when I am it will be the Plus for sure. You’ve shown how versatile it is and how well it can help organize a workflow. Thanks!

[@kwillee93]

You look like a Ryan Reynolds doppelganger. great video! thanks for the input on the streamdeck plus. definitly picking one of these up for christmas

[@sonofulti1337]

I use mine mostly as a hotkey button when I'm video or podcast editing. It's a lot easier to put my 15 button stream deck in place of my keyboard so I can do things like copy, cut, paste, zoom in and out etc. Although, when I did stream I used it for a soundboard and scene changes sometimes

[@knightlightshow]

So I kept my Streamdeck XL in my closet after buying it for over a year. I just got it out a few days ago and am impressed with everything it can do beyond turning my Phillip Hue lights on/off. I setup an FTTT account and am now using it to control my garage doors, my overhead camera, and the Edelkrone JibOne + Sony A7Siii in front of me. Looking forward to doing more with it!

[@dodge_walks]

Knobs

[@WyattOShea]

I like knobs ( ͡° ل͜ ͡°)

[@TimProVision]

I primarily use it to start recording or take screen shots of my second OBS instance. Also muting my browser source as I get into a game. Haven't streamed in 9 months so... yeah.

[@LEBROKETUBER]

Bru ? HOW THE FLIP I BEEN LIVING ALL MY LIFE WITHOUT A STREAM DECK DAWGGG! THIS VIDEO BLOW MY MIND. Thank you partner

[@christianboss13_37]

I am a sim racer and alot of the sim racing community uses it to help tweak the car during a race like to add fuel, change tires and to change how the car drives throughout the race. I do not have on due to financial struggles but it is super helpful.

[@ShinyTechThings]

Do you know of any plugins that will work with the Logitech litra glow LED lights?

[@raptorprolapsor]

Im using the stream deck+ and its been a complete game changer for me. Im a super small streamer and its made everything so much better. Even if im not streaming the quick access to volume for music discord etc. Muting my mic and all. It truly is an amazing piece of equipment!

[@deltafors24-73]

Where are these plug-ins? I don't see many in the Elgato place. I would very much appreciate it

[@TMacGamer]

I have 2 Stream Decks now. The 15 button version I have had for a while now, I use for controlling my lighting, for OBS, scenes & I have a page with websites I go to a lot. The stream Deck+ I primarily use for video editing. The knobs are perfect for getting the right position to cut a video. Also, for moving back & forth in the video

[@RemusGT]

Holy moly, I just wanna give props to this smooth and perfect video editing. Very well done!

[@ckwi2245]

I think the main use for my StreamDeck is a desktop replacement. Instead of filling it up with a ton of shortcuts I have them organized on my StreamDeck and can open them without going back to the desktop. Honestly still need to do more with it. Did have it set up to Moderate the Play with Viewers Twitch Plug-In whether for me streaming, or modding for friends.

[@macapsu]

I'm using a classic stream deck for esports production and definitely do more than change scenes. These vids are awesome thanks mate! The discord volume would be amazing I want the knobs even more now ;) but more so looking at the XL.

[@34wotb]

I'm a tournament caster for a small mobile game - my stream deck allows me to manage scoreboards, update the overlay with team names and logos, and more. I also use it to automate my stream's starting & ending routines (source volumes, music, discord pings)

[@LevienBrugmanMain]

I use it for soundcard control, selecting and switching to different audio interfaces, enabling/disabling bluetooth, connecting to bluetooth devices. Media player control, favorite PC folders, browser control and favorite websites, screensaver control, time, stopwatch, counterdowns for keeping my stream/recordings under 1 hour, weather, youtube channel overviews, opening apps, audio visualiser. webcam control (exposure, gamma, saturation etc). volume control, mouse pointer highlight cursor, magnifier, digital mixer, toggle icons on or off and the list goes on. And of course last but not least OBS control.

[@AnanGaming_Live]

I love your content its really like the most youtuber that I can enjoy his content for hours and not being boring for a second. and its not because of the things you show us here, its because of your awesome personality that I might never come to be such as. I just wanna tell you that most of us are too broke to buy the things you bring to the channel or too lazy to do your advices on a constant pattern. but hell we enjoy seeing you talk happy streaming 💚

[@fullsleevetats]

I have a Streamdeck XL and a Mini. I use mine primarily for work productivity (under Linux, not Windows, not macOS). My first page controls all of my applications (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Mattermost, Slack, Discord, Salesforce, etc). A button press will find the app running on any virtual desktop, target it, and then switch to public channels or DMs. For meeting apps, I can mute/unmute, turn on/off my camera, and go from presenter to non-presenter mode. I also control my Govee lights and plugs around the office with the first page. I control the Govee lights via API, and my Sonoff S31 smart plugs via Tasmota open source firmware. The second page of my XL is a dial-by-face PBX for my teammates. The first press launches a DM to that user in our chat system. A second button press (within a second) will dial them via our PBX phone system. The third page controls all of the timers I need for timecards via Timular and Toggl timers. Start/Stop timers via API, launch Toggl desktop, sync via Timular, etc. I also programmed a handful of buttons to stuff in boilerplate (frequently used) text prompts and replies for emails and customer cases. This includes my default email signature as well as some editable standard replies. I have several other pages of useful productivity, business functions for apps and app productivity. I have 10 pages of 32 buttons on my XL (320 actions) and the same 10 pages for my Mini (60). I also use these to control my cameras and OBS scenes for both meetings and livestreaming. This is where most people will be using their Streamdeck. It's a FANTASTIC productivity tool, and I really wish Elgato/Corsair would support Linux with their configuration app, but until then I am using the various open source/community alternatives out there.

[@ottokrieg]

Just happened by your channel and the editing is spot on, very funny. I don't stream, really but this seems like a great helpful video to those who do.

[@TacoSmurfz]

Thank you HH for another awesome, informative video!

[@j.d.-alawyerexplains5064]

Brand new. Haven’t even connected it yet. Seems outstanding. You have a great channel.

[@TheKing0fSpades]

So many things, I use it while programming as quick hot keys, to bring up my custom brushes while drawing, to quickly open apps, to manage music while streaming, etc.

[@Miggitymike22]

I love using it for my Spotify and also for shortcuts for apps. It's nice for switching scenes in OBS as well, but I also use it for a Soundboard during streams. Love this thing!

[@GhostOfCaldera]

I run an e-comm photo studio and we use one on each photo station to control the Capture One software

[@billyenglish8523]

I love the Windows mover plugin. So handy when you start up the computer for the first time and you just hit the button and bam, everything you want in its place.

[@Menta_]

im using mine primarily for: -muting/deafening in teamspeak and discord -launching specific spotify playlists at a set volume (for consistency) -launching & moving programs into a consistent position -creating clips with shadowplay

[@inatej]

I went full BEACN and I'm not regretting that decision. HOWEVER, I loved this video and I smile everytime you get excited about your tech. Thanks, Senpai. KNOBS!

[@TheHeff76]

I make Ham Radio KZbin content and besides using the StreamDeck for changing scenes is controlling Spotify (For Streambeats naturally), A going live Twitter button, Discord mute/unmute, controlling my many many lights, buttons for VoiceMod sound alerts, Swear beep, and buttons to control all my ham radio gear. For example, switching radio bands, I use the Elgato pedal to "key up" the radio mic, switch digital modes on the radio, control my antenna direction. I have the XL and the Plus. Thanks for the great videos!

[@Sammzor]

I do online tutoring using OBS virtual cam so yes half of my buttons are switching scenes to show different material that I have open in photoshop, acrobat, browser, etc. The other half are: one just always shows the current time in Japan (where my students are), open photoshop or other programs, hang up a call, automatically type the greeting I always use before I call them. I'm excited to explore my stream deck more and get more use out of it (especially the dials which do nothing rn)!

[@sagerocker557]

With the Philips smart plug, a Philips hue bridge is also required for it to pair to a stream deck. Just bought the plug by itself and found out the hard way. FYI for anybody that didn't know

[@AskStevenBlack]

stream deck XL, stream deck 2.0, Elgato Pedal that I use for recording and switching scenes while live so I can keep my hands free. Just grabbed the Elgato prompter as well and the things you can do with that, OBS, and a streamdeck are wild. Main uses - content production + Multi-action workflows for multiple recurring projects like you mentioned near the end of the video.

[@krnordli]

We use streamdeck primarily with Companion to control vMix inputs and layers, PTZ presets and BlackMagic Constellation configs.

[@JustinPlaysTV]

Ideally I use my StreamDeck + as a volume slider for my music, games, etc. along with macros for scenes, recording/streaming and occasionally blowing up the camera (When it's not buggy)

[@iamdanielemerson]

I just plugged mine in yesterday and I use mine for sounds, and multitasks (which I am looking more into) Thank you for this great breakdown.

[@OhItsMulligan]

9:07 I like how Scott saved us the torture of Harris trying to replicate that sound xD

[@jimmypowers2095]

I use it for Elgato light controls, application launches, changing my audio source from headphones to speakers on specific application.. SO much! I love this thing.

[@JustWrightGamingVODs]

I have a few multi action buttons setup for different things - Launching all my stream related programs at once, with a single button (huge time saver - Go live, switch scene and run an ad I have a button for a spin the wheel channel point redemption I have Several scene change buttons Timers for various time based channel point redemptions Laugh track and a celebration visual with sound effect A button that activates a slow zoom plugin in OBS whilst playing very motivational and dramatic music That's about it - I'd say the use cases for scene changing is more common and thus used more, but I get good use out of all the other stuff as well

[@StarrTouch]

I use it for lights and links to websites I use for work. Also great for making start and stop recording. I now will have to buy a couple Phillips power...for cameras. Totally going to setup speedtest too. Helpful video Harrison!

[@J2TheM]

Added the twitch clip feature and stream marker last week. Game changer. Also used the teamspeak integration back in the day.

[@ElectricPanther]

As soon as you said dial hot keys, I was like ‘yep! I got a couple of those set up already!’

[@ben-vanderberg]

Scene switching totally. But I do also use it for: - Slide switching - I created shortcuts for Adobe apps instead of using my keyboard. - MS Teams control

[@FragaGeddon]

I got the SD 15 and SD XL, which I just bought last week. The 15 is connected to my StreamPC, and basically will be used for starting/stopping streams, switching scenes, and also tweaking audio if needed. The XL is hooked up to my GamerPC. The top row is basically locked to certain pages. Like page 8 is for Programs. I have a set of basic programs that I want to make sure I run while gaming. I use the Advanced Launcher plugin for this, where I show a dot if the program is running. I can quickly go to that page to make sure everything is running that I need at a quick glance of the icons. Other pages I use for launching games, going to specific (favorited) websites. And since I have multiple monitors, I use the plugin Windows Mover to either move active window to another monitor. But let's say I want to switch a game from my monitor to my TV. A click of a button and it's done. No need to go into like the game settings and say I want it showing on this device.

[@marc3793]

I love the Stream Deck. I use it for video editing, Home Automation with Home Assistant, switching scenes (of course :-) ), turning nvidia noise reduction, Elgato Facecam blur, changing output between headphones and speakers. There's an MS Teams plugin now too, although it's had some issues and doesn't work for me at the moment.

[@dekefective]

I've actually just starting to use it for streaming. I mainly use it for coding and spinning up servers/docker containers. Also to improve workflows in Adobe/Affinity programs.

[@Phatsnake]

I primarily use the knobs to control audio from the wave link app. I don't even stream like that anymore but that level of audio control is something I can never give up

[@Macstremity]

Legit just bought this to replace my GoXLR cause of your last video/setup. You couldnt have timed this video any more PERFECTLY!

[@Macstremity]

I also like to use mine for simple stuff such as opening up my games at the click of a button, opening up websites i constantly use, and even one that instantly connects/disconnects me to the Discord voice channel I am normally using

[@UnexplanedBacon]

I use my stream deck to open websites and programs I use a lot for certain games. Like With Destiny 2 I have a multi action that will open DIM and Destiny Recipes. I also now use it to move items in Destiny as well. I can turn on and off farming mode I can see how full my vault and postmaster are. I have a multiaction that opens OBS and all the programs I use and move them to the correct location, change the power settings to high performance, and turns on my lights. When I end stream I have it automatically run a 90 sec ad, turn off my lights, then end stream after the ad is done running. My favorite is a multi action that changes my main display to my 4k tv mounted above my monitors and changes the primary sound to go play though the TV for when I want to sit back and do some couch co-op games with my son. Then I have another multi action to switch everything back to my main display and sound to go through my goxlr.

[@Sledge315]

I use it as a start and stop button for when I go to the bathoom, which then auto uploads to a spreadsheet online to track my average time in the bathroom as well as personal best, worst and so on. Very handy beyond just scene swaps. and yes I have two seperate stop watches for both 1 and 2 in the bathroom.

[@LaserBearCatGaming]

Still rockin' the classic 3x5 Stream Deck model over here. Aside from scene switching, I also set it up with a Launch button that opens up most of the little tools I need when it's go-live time (OBS, Spotify, Mix It Up, Twitch Fishing...), but most of my space on there is dedicated to Voicemod soundboard & voice changer buttons. Never know when you're gonna need a well-timed rimshot or vine boom live on stream 💀

[@itsrubenjr]

This was so freaking insightful man i love how simple make things for us to digest. People do not put this work in now days and im hyper appreciative of what you do for us. Hope your year is going well and family and friends get to smile

[@jphdznr]

Use my stream deck constantly. During streams, I use it for everything from scene changes to showing/hiding overlays, to setting light brightness. Apart from streaming, I use it in Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Logic, even my email client. Love it!

[@supercharge0509]

I mainly use my stream deck to control my gaming. as I have a dedicated room that holds both of my setups. the streaming setup, which consist of two PCs , and my editing set up, which also can be used for light gaming when my nephew is around. I use it as a control panel to switch on and off almost everything in the room, such as my TV, lights, AC, curtains …etc. this is possible mostly because of the “IFTTT” plugin

[@Shrk_1990]

The audio software with the Stream Deck + is a game changer and has been my primary use. Mixing that with control over Discord, sound effects, and shortcuts in editing software, I’m officially in the group that has discovered the Stream Deck isn’t just for streaming!

[@xiamcellx]

great video as usual. I legit use the + for audio and camera zoom, an XL for moderating my stream and the foot pedals that rn manage my discord. Videos like this give me life and make the money that I invested on these products worth it. Thank you

[@killerkw17]

A few of the things I have set up and use are a soundboard with several folders of sounds, I set up an audio folder to mute/deafen discord as well as muting each of my audio sources in obs if needed, this was added after in game people spew hate when they know you're streaming, I use cam buttons for zoom or to turn my cam on/off, spotify, and twich folder for markers, clips and shoutouts. That is a short list of what I use mine to do

[@zweighosts]

Very useful video. Fun personality! Before the video ended I got new icon library options before the video even ended LUL

[@DerokLee]

Random use I found: I use it to make lead sheets when I have to make one from scratch with metadata. I can just set a text buttons on the stream deck with whatever chords I need in a song, and then push the button to add text like [C#] or [Esus]. I even have a folder for various keys setup so when I need to make a new song, I just load it up and get to editing. Saves me a little time by clicking where I need the chord and just hitting the button instead of copying and pasting whichever one I need at the time.

[@mattbeaulne2516]

I use my stream deck a lot for work! quick keys to open up calendars, github in specific views, timers, etc, etc. When I record, its for switching views, voice mods, or quick keys for editing videos

[@Draco.Invictus]

I run a simple scene setup for my live streams, but I've been using my stream deck as a video board during my streams (like Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire saying Hello when someone enters chat and says hi, audio and video)

[@EncodeGG]

I have 2 stream decks, an OG stream deck and then the stream deck +. I use the stream deck as a desktop, where I start programs from it instead of clicking on my screen, which usually involves tabbing out of something else or minimizing. I also use it for shortcuts I use frequently, such as file explorer, task manager, etc. Gonna go get #6 now so I can have them pop up exactly where I drag them every. single. day. My stream deck + I use mainly as my audio and lighting solution, but really need to get it set up for productivity, just haven't got it set up for that yet.

[@Milkydinho]

I use my streamdeck for clips as I do player reviews and I also use it to change songs as well as many other things

[@chrono32123]

I use it for Wave Link, Kicking off Actions in Mix It Up, taking clips (twitch, aitum, AND obs clipping), launching all my stream apps, controlling my lights, updating the twitch category, oh and also switching scenes in obs (multi-actions to change the size of my webcam and stuff). Yeah I really like my stream deck. Kinda wanting a second one.

[@ChapterMasterValrak]

I need to get me one of these!

[@necroneko8088]

Just ordered my stream deck + the other day. I'm a VR streamer and also a DJ so I plan on using my sd+ for extry functionality in my DJ program along side all the obs stuff. I also use blender and unity so using it for that also sounds nice.

[@legen_dary42]

The primary use for my stream deck is actually debugging and navigating code. I also use it to monitor the status of my SSH connections so I can start stop or restart them as needed as well as perform scheduled tasks like popping up a Windows notification to remind me to take a break and go walk the dog. I also play Fallout 4 religiously with hundreds of mods and I have around 80 hot keys (several for Place Everywhere) for various items, actions and scripts tied to a gaming profile. This will let me toggle the free camera, pause the game, adjust the camera speed, and then move the camera around and toggle my ENB effects for the perfect screenshot then quickly resume gameplay. Plus: Voice mod and Discord controls so while I'm streaming my gameplay I can make my character dance and play an audio clip on an event, etc. I'm currently setting it up to use Bitsoft Companion to control my Linux machine which I will be using to do the streaming on a dual PC streaming setup with a single controller while I game on Windows. Bonus: I use the G6 key on my Corsair K100 to swap my Corsair RGB Pro into sniper mode for quick headshots.

[@J0elPeters]

I use my 15 key Stream Deck for audio editing in Audition and video editing in Premiere Pro. It's also a great soundboard and I'm looking into using it for midi

[@stuartduncan2772]

I'm blind and I use several accessibility applications on Mac and PC. The hotkey combinations to increase magnification or turn speech on and off can almost tie your fingers in knots. I've set up single-key presses for the common ones. Also very handy to trigger Power Automate flows to do things like open up applications and navigate to specific pages or functions.

[@MiraiSubject]

Used to use it from streaming, but now its job 90% of the time is Window management on my system for organising my workspace and moving windows across screens easily. I plan to expand it further with certain workflows I do while programming and scripting specific tools and container management features eventually.

[@krosswynd2740]

I've just got the one stream deck+ Use it primarily for my OBS setup and wavelink. Did you know: You can set dial stacks and wave link input actions to change the individual volume of both your monitor mix and stream mix? 3 Actions on one dial *knob Monitor Mix - Input Stream Mix - Input All - Input and you can switch between the three by pressing in the knob or tapping the screen to mute them on the fly!

[@DeathRoyale]

I won a stream deck plus through a gleam contest. I came here to learn and i'm not disappointed. thank you Senpai Gaming for the information.

[@johnklopp7287]

Using the color dropper plugin is a life saver for anyone in the creative/design space

[@MightyAims]

I use it a lot, it is like a second keyboard. I use it for launching apps and games, spotify, photoshop, premier, clips, websites, shortcuts for everything.

[@longago-igo]

I have 3 (underutilized) decks, my original 15 button deck in black, the newer 15 button in white and the Plus. I have a 5 camera setup for streaming Go using a floor goban to mirror the games played on OGS (online Go server). I use my decks primarily for scene switching, but also Key Lights, opening websites, and FaceCam controls. I use the multi action for building intro and outro graphics to my videos. I recently build a new computer for video editing with Davinci Resolve, but haven’t gotten around to setting up buttons and knobs on the Plus for that yet (soon). Enjoy your content and presentation.

[@EliezerRoqueCisneros]

my uses for stream deck: #1 scene switching, obvi #2 macro's especially switching PPT/slides without having ppt in focus (seriously a god send) #3 controlling ptz cams #4 volume mixing

[@arijon98]

I have a 15 button stream deck. I've never streamed a single second in my life. I use it for productivity work some work things, and I use it to monitor my system cpu/ram/gpu when i'm gaming. It's also fantastic to switch between headset/speakers, mute, volume up/down, monitoring the battery level of my headset, displaying the time and date. Perfect for productivity!

[@AlecGalicia]

BTW, using the Advance Scene Switcher plug-in for OBS and setting up a bunch of macros you can expand the capability of the streamdeck way past what the default buttons can do. I set up a layer or blank text that the stream deck button can toggle on and off. The advanced scene switcher can then do a multitude of advanced things my stream deck couldn’t before. Mainly since the streamdeck can’t get feedback from OBS but the macros can. Pretty cool stuff

[@Stavvy0]

Please expound on this - OP or Harris.

[@PLarios]

I use it to launch my apps and as a sound board. Keeps my class entertained when teaching.

[@BenAbode]

About to get my own today. Not for streaming but for macro buttons when video editing, open applications, and have funny emojies going brrrrrrr on the tiny screens.

[@ryandeleon5156]

I use mine as a series of multi-action buttons. Opening a few apps at a time for MMO gaming with things like FFXIV, or Star Citizen. I have a Music folder for music controls for spotify and another folder for chrome shortcuts that take me straight to some of my favorite URLs like Crunchyroll, KZbin, or D&D Beyond for example. I have a screenshot button and also Window Mover button that moves any active window to a separate monitor with specific dimensions. This is great for my Portrait monitor where I can't "Win + Left" or "Win + Right" to quickly resize/lock programs into half of my monitor. All that with just a 6 button mini!

Stream Deck Plus. Fantastic job as always! Spectacular plug-ins and ideas. Thank you!!

I use it for work and streaming. Mainly mic control for meetings and switching between the headset and speakers. Launching mouse controls to look at battery level. Verifying my plug-ins are working with the Wave mic. And launching most used apps like outlook, chrome,etc.

Finally got the stream deck + storm trooper addition. Currently creating folders to house certain functions i want available during stream. Then created separate profiles to handle editing. Then the "knobs" are stackable so I can press the "knob" to scroll through sources and adjust volumes and tap the touch screen to mute if need be. One deck to rule them all.
