[@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!

[@thebalance134]

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.

[@NankaCoC]

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:)

[@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 🤣

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@683147]

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

[@TacoSmurfz]

Thank you HH for another awesome, informative video!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@sonuvabitch]

I'm buying a Stream Deck primarily for WFH office use with a bit of streaming. Teams meetings, recording and transripts, and switching between apps/quick focus swaps. May also try to use it quickly reorganise windows too. Honestly, it sounds like a great productivity tool for other uses but ALSO for streaming!

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@dodge_walks]

Knobs

[@WyattOShea]

I like knobs ( ͡° ل͜ ͡°)

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@transgirl420]

I mostly use my stream deck plus to: Open programs/websites, or do a multi action to open a bunch of things (like obs, twitch, twitter for streaming). Also I set up hotkeys to open command prompt and run specific commands with one click, that part is super useful!

[@ianthebrightman]

Hell yes man… great video and I’m now considering grabbing one of those decks because of these capabilities 🤘🤘

[@FischtankProductions]

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

[@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)!

[@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 💚

[@NewAgeSigma]

Fantastic video, thank you for sharing these!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@krnordli]

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

[@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

[@KingdomEntrepreneursTV]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@Aguynamedkim]

Thanks for this vid!

[@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)

[@michaelmoody35]

I’ve got the standard 15 button in my home office, and the 32 button at work. I use them 98% of the time for repetitive task as work such as moving emails to certain folders in outlook, preforming merge and center and then centering again in excel, and so on. I also write longer macros for jumping between programs and imputing data. The last 2% is for video calls and instructing online.

[@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.

[@JustWrightGaming]

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

[@crzydirtyjoedirt1911]

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.

[@vinnyvdawg]

spotify, multi window open tab, etc love the vids homie!

[@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.

[@j.d.-alawyerexplains5064]

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

[@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.

[@J2TheM]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@Mothie434]

I bought mine specifically as an emote board/auto text/and soundboard for fivem, and a mic toggle for discord, my in-game input, and my stream input. It's been great to use. Like bringing out a camera in game and using my camera snapshot sound as an extra bit of roleplay! I'm almost always adding things to it for any other reason BUT streaming... Because it doesn't want to work with my obs. Edit: I got it to work with obs and use it frequently.

[@Lowkeyisme]

I’m looking to get a stream deck for this. How do u bind ur emotes as the buttons?

[@Mothie434]

@nchap1234 It should be fairly simple. If I were to bind an emote, say, passout3: I would create a multi-action button and register the first action as a keypress, and choose whatever bind brings up the chat (typically t), then add a text bind for /e passout3 (some servers don't require the / but mine does). Then you can choose whether you want it to press enter for you after that. And boom, you have a stream deck emote keybind!

[@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.

[@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!

[@MontaeMontana]

Thank you for your all of your hard work Harris! I had a question about the smart plug/camera situation. Does it specifically NEED to be a Philips Smart Plug for this to work? 😅

[@WarriorBahamut]

Love the video’s Senpai! Been trying to figure out audio issues (dual pc, elgato 4k, steelseries nova pro’s), any help or video’s coming soon?

[@willemweber4843]

Just started using my so still adding and learning about how to use it/which plugins to get for more functions and stuff. But i use it so far for gaming and recording plus for using it as a sound effects board for during a gaming session of COD DMZ. Still going to ad and chance it overtime because like I said before still learn what you all can do with it plus which plugins to get. Loving it so far even with the beginners issues i had with the software issues/errors but got the best software/gear support from Elgato I never had from other companys i dealt with before so they made a life-time Elgato fan/supporter for the service support that they gave, They want all customers to enjoy their products and help you out if something goes wrong and will help you step by step to getting it fixed! Elgato Stream Deck XL Using Elgato software 6.4.1 because for me version 6.5.0 does'nt work on my PC (Windows 10) even when i went to Windows 11 had the same problem but because of the help from Elgato I now know what to do if i ever have this issue again when i upgrate to the next version after version 6.5.0

[@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.

[@JangleBoy]

I use my stream deck + to launch different sets of apps for my job. It also lets me control app audio for meetings and such. It’s been a major efficiency & quality of life improvement for me. Oh and I monitor my Mac’s performance so I know if I’ve got too much stuff open. V dope.

[@SeanLake3D]

I use it for adjusting volumes for the various Wavelink audio channels, I also use it for Zoom controls, as well as my Elgato lighting :).

[@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!

[@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.

[@CentaurWorks]

I have 3 Stream Decks: A Stream Deck Mk.1 for things I left on there that have not transferred over (After Effects controls) but it's mostly a menu for- A Stream Deck XL, which is use mainly for quick Wave Link audio controls and for my Remote work and a Stream Deck + which is my hot swap controls (Opera GX, Clip Studio Paint, Apex, Deep Rock Galactic, VLC)

[@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

[@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.

[@DisasterEXE]

I recently started a master's program in education so my streaming schedule is very small; however, I got the SD plus and I use it to read articles, highlight, zoom and copy text with it. I can lay back and since I have it under my desk it works perfectly.

[@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

[@Str8EdgeJesse]

I have 2 stream decks. The OG and the foot pedal. The OG is for scenes, launching programs and sites, some audio and trying productivity. The pedal is for monitoring mic controls, separate audio and discord push to talk.

[@1337Atreyu]

I have a SD XL. Use mine for scenes of course, but I use it for routing changes in my GoXLR app, muting in discord, playing and doing stuff with music, and I have pre-written messages for all chat in games like Valorant. Oh, and I also have a "TikTok" button for my Vertical plugin in OBS 🙂

[@FUNRobster]

I use it for a whole lot of things... Games like Star Citizen, control my hue lights throughout the house, switching sound sources, game launcher(s) and yes.... also for switching scenes, raiding and other things on stream :D I had two btw... but with Aitum I only use the XL and gave the original one to a friend.

[@iamalikat]

I have 3 stream decks: the standard 15 button, the plus which I have configured primarily as a mixer, and the foot pedal. I use mostly as a sound board, but I do have the discord mixer, and plenty of multi action buttons and use bar raider to move/resize my windows. Ironically, I don’t use it to change scenes…i do that directly in OBS 😂

[@CimmarianGaming]

Yes, I use my 15-key Stream Deck to change scenes, but also to send certain messages in chat, open programs or games I regularly play, play sound effects, and more. Used to use to in set camera filters and turn them off and on, but now that SnapCam is gone, no more of that LOL (it ate up CPU anyway). But there are a ton of good ideas here I want to implement as soon as I get my PC back up and running again.

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.

I use the stream deck+ dials to control my stream audio. I also use the buttons for sound board drops and the Move Transition plugin if my camera is ever in the way of gameplay.

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

I do want to get this new Stream Deck. The 15 button one has been great for my streams but I love the look of the new one and the features it brings. I have mostly used it for scene transitions but with what I'm about to do to my game room/stream room I may be doing a little something different. I may keep my current one for my laptop stuff and get the new one for my main rig. I guess we will see in the next week or two.

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.

[@teknofire]

I use it with my HomeAssistant automation triggering lights, temperature and humidity monitoring, opens pages with views for my security cameras. I also have it hooked up for putting in pre-generated chat messages and emote reactions. I also use it for switching between goxlr profiles that I use for work, gaming and dnd stuff. For dnd stuff it also is used to play mood music

[@Maaniic]

Yeah with the HA plugin you can truly control ANYTHING :)

[@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.

[@Lindastyle]

I love this knob, i mean guy. Subbed and liked!

[@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.

[@ragingmando5956]

Good stuff!

[@ConfUsedAnubis]

I use my stream deck for quiet a few things. I used it the control my hue lights, open applications, control music/ Volume, Photoshop tools and adobe premiere tools. I really should use it for more but hey it helps a ton with editing and such. I also tried making it a music pad but the delay between sounds was a bit of an issue.

[@Stompbox99]

I have the stream deck xl, and until I saw this video I felt the one with the knobs didn’t seem to offer much I’d want, but now I feel it’s something I’ll want if I keep growing as a streamer

[@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

[@wynndows7496]

i do use it to switch scenes, but i mostly use it to change the volume of my spotify, change song, pause/play. it also helps me with 1ms instalocks on valorant, discord functions (mute/unmute, Def) i can full mute my mic, clip something, i also have aimlabs as a quick key since i use it a lot, and i have my AMD and audio interface software as my other keys.

[@itsDueyD]

Great video! Can you make a tutorial on how you use your stream deck for video editing? Would love to know how you setup your hotkeys and shortcuts.

[@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!
