      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.

      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
      @Lattenkiste Рік тому +1

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @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!

  • @xiamcellx

    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.

    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.

    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

  • @sonofulti1337
    @sonofulti1337 Рік тому +3

    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

    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!

  • @Mothie434
    @Mothie434 Рік тому +2

    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

    • @Mothie434
      @Mothie434 8 місяців тому

      @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!

    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.

  • @Sammzor
    @Sammzor Рік тому

    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)!

    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

  • @wynndows7496

    right now I'm using 4 streamdecks for my streams but also my workflow, I use the streamdeck for my in car adjustments while simracing, the streamdeckXL for controlling my stream, I use the streamdeck pedals for controlling some replay action while in game, and the streamdeck+ for audio adjustments on the fly. is has improved my workflow.
    I also use them in video editing or my photography it works amazing. thank you for this video! always looking for more ways to use my streamdecks at the full potential

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    I run my entire stream from 1 scene. I use the move plugin to move the sources around as I need for each "scenario", so I use my stream deck to activate filters amongst other things.

    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.

    i have the xxl. and i mainly use it for changing output speakers/headphone & main volume but also individual volumes. it show my battery capacity for wireless peripherals. control music & video.
    i got timers (for ingame missions cooldowns) got direct go to url on it. and also the standard obs functions. and i got pc stats showing also. i think 75% use desktop and 25% use obs.

  • @eriktait434
    @eriktait434 7 місяців тому

    Honestly. I use the volume stuff all the time, but also I have a ton of editing hot keys for Davinci resolve setup. Also, the hue smart plug on/off tip was game changing for me.
    Another thing is that every time Evernote updates the pinned to the taskbar breaks. So using the launch app buttons are huge for me.

    I have a stream deck for my gaming PC and for my Mac. PC: i have scenes, I have a soundboard. I also have volume control and switch between headset and speakers. I also use it to open a couple other things that i commonly use. For my Mac I have streaming services for when i want to watch something, I mainly use it for productivity, opening different apps or sites that i use regularly, lastly i use it to control apple music.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @ryandeleon5156
    @ryandeleon5156 Рік тому

    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, UA-cam, 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!

    I make Ham Radio UA-cam 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!

    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.

    Could the 6 buttons on the Rodecaster Duo be used to trigger the 1,2,3,4,5&6 keys? I use Switcher Studio and to change cameras on the iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard connected using the number keys. So I have a whole keyboard on my desk to only use 1,2,3 or 4 to change scenes/iPhone cameras

  • @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

  • @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.

    I use my Stream Deck XL mainly for Final Fantasy XIV. The top two rows are dedicated to switching my class/job to whatever button I press.
    The third and fourth row have other useful in game shortcuts, various mute buttons (mic into OBS, mic into Discord and Discord into OBS), Hue light controls and my OBS scenes. So yeah, I'm using mine extensively. XD

    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 😂

    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.

    I don't stream anymore, but thinking of getting into it again. I use my stream deck to open up all my work tabs and control my zoom meetings (starting up my zoom meetings with power points, etc., and lighting). I also use it to control my goxlr when I'm having a zoom meeting or gaming. Finally, I have it to open up everything I use to play Tarkov (flee market info, maps, and the game). With my Mac set up, it's very similar but doesn't control the volume and audio outputs that well. The stream deck + could fix the issues I have had controlling the audio on my Mac Mini.
