Awesome vids as always. Can you do a tutorial that's more in depth on using the multi-action for flashback/livestreaming/Replay Buffer?
Hi Gaming Careers! Thanks for all your videos helping the community (:
I have a unique problem that seems to be common in the community. Basically, in OBS Studio, if Noise Supression is on, it mutes my controller clicks (which is great) but cancels out my higher pitched noises like laughs and screams. I can't seem to make it work the way I'd like with just a Noise Gate. I have a white snowball mic.
Active filters include: Noise suppression, compressor, gain, limiter and noise gate and I have narrowed it down to just Noise Suppression being the issue.
I was looking for this exact setup for switching between audio devices, and the extended Function key setup is pure genius! Thank you so much! Looking forward to a Part 2!
Started streaming only recently after years of not being able to. Your channel is certainly one of the most qualitative in stream education on UA-cam. Keep up the good work, congrats.
This is exactly what I needed to see today!! I will definitely be implementing a lot of these tips into my own stream, thanks man and keep
up the great work! 🙏
Thank you for this. I've had a stream deck for months, but pretty much use it in a basic way. This will make my life so much easier. Just subscribed to this channel, because I've watched the past couple of months and it's really been helpful in moving forward as a content creator in so many ways. Thank you for all the hard work and sharing your knowledge with us.
This was fantastic. Thank you for showing us this.

@@capp00 didnt know you watched GC too, was looking to improve my stream and found your comment XD
The window moving plugin and the panic button are both such great things to use. Thank you so much.
Really useful plug-ins to get the most out of my stream deck, thank you!
Going to save this!
Arranging apps, count downs and death counters would be awesome
Just curious, why is this in the lofi playlist?
Your doing Lofi stream
Perfectly explained! Thank you!
Very interesting and entertaining - good combo! Props
Very nice addition adding the buffering to prove your point. You are an exceptional content creator, thank you for you.
This was SUPER helpful! You should definitely make a part 2
Changed my life with the multi-action and windows mover plug-in. Thank you! 🙌
This was such a helpful tutorial! Thank you so much
Amazing Info! Gonna use a lot of these!!!
Awesome to see your channel's progress over the last few years. Thank you for the very useful content! Going to shop around for some Streamdecks. :D
This was amazing. I was already using some of these tools, but didn't even know the others existed. Thank you!
Very nice video!! I incorporated a few that id idn't already know. Thank you!
I'm an educator that streams over various platforms and use multiple tools and was wondering about this device. Operating system, worth the cost, ease of use and so on. You made a compelling case for me to purchase. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I am definitely going to be taking advantage of a couple of these. I already added some of them to my new stream deck
Thanks for making this video! Super helpful!
i cant tell you how many times ive used this video! thank you so much!!!!!
Excellent tips, thank you! 🙏
thanks, a real insight into the uses - I just bought one bought had no real idea it was this powerful.
Very useful video! Part 2 maybe? Thanks!
This was super cool to watch, very informative.
I probably use the profile switcher a lot. Since being a streamer and content creator, you might need certain things for recording that you would for streaming. By a click of a button, it will have the secondary profile pop up. Have the stuff you need to record and you could even have the third option for the editor you use without having to worry about pressing the wrong button.
This is VERY helpful for some of us OG Stream Deck users who have not yet dug deeply into the new SD plugins in the 5.x SD software and store.
this was incredibly helpful, thank you
thanks thishelped alot, I've been thinking of buying one for my streams
Love the vids man, keep them coming!
Excellent video! So many pro-tips!
This is a great video. I liked the counter and the replay saving buttons. I am sure the other stuff will become useful in the future too.
Epic as usual. Thank you.
This is very good content. I appreciate the tips and the great examples you use in your channel.
This is wonderful information, I did have to slow it down to get it all lmao....thank you so much for this!
Great ideas! I just ordered mine. Appreciate the insights.
Good video, informative. Learned some functions I didn't know my StreamDeck had
So many options here. Thank you for the video 📹
This was video was very useful. Thank you
Incredible video-as always!
Awesome video, would love to see a part 2 in the future
Thank you so much for this!
Another great video and guide. Thank you
These tips are still really handy 2 years on. Thank you
I'm not a streamer, but use a Stream Deck as a productivity tool at work. The Windows Mover tip is going to save me so much time - wish I'd known about this a long time ago!
Thanks for all the great tips!
Got my stream deck a few weeks ago and aside from streaming, been loving using it for editing hot keys
Holy cow that's great! Thanks for the vid
This is really cool. I don't stream, but I use my stream deck as a macropad and found some of your tips to be really useful. Keep up the good work
Great tips. Thank you!
Nice I’ll be using the hot keys feature. Also thanks you’ve been dropping knowledge that’s helped me for a couple years now.
Love it
Well explained thanks
Man, i was just looking for a plugin to show my SSD storage level, that Win Tools has the perfect solution! Excellent video!
Thanks man, the windows mover is a big deal , amazing how easy it solved a big issue for me
thx that's really helpful
Got my deck a week ago, what a well timed video
Amazingly helpful!!! Thanks…
I have been looking into the stream deck this just makes me want it more! Great video! More if this please 🤙
I was using the paid iOS app for a few months to see if I'd REALLY use the Stream Deck.
The app was a bit frustrating with it's Wifi connectivity so I just took the plunge on the Stream Deck - easily one of the best tech decisions I've made in a long time.
I bought the XL and am VERY happy with it.
@@seancasgamer I can't see any downside to buying one, it looks to be a nice bit of kit to. Loupedeck looks nice to but I like the streamdeck for the buttons. What size did you buy?
Awesome video, thank you for the tips! Regarding audio switcher, I've noticed when I switch it not all programs seem to follow suit, with some audio coming out of my speakers. Would I need to toggle between the two in each program or is there something I'm missing?
This is a game changer thanks for the content! 🎒
Very useful video. I never would have guessed it myself.)
good looking out my guy!
great info thanks
Nice touch with the buffer.
Fantastic idea on the Hate Raid. I never thought about a multi action button. The simplest thing. Thanks
11/10! Thank you :)
Great tips thanks
great video! thanks
Very helpful
Brilliant. Thanks!
This is super helpful , means I'll actually have to stop procrastinating and actually start streaming again , because this sorts out one of my biggest problems , the arrangements of windows on my second monitor with the push of a button!
You are ...... amazing......
Thank you! I LOVE THE WINDOW RESIZE OPTION! Such a great video ty ty ty!!!
Hi! Great video, these are some super useful tips! Could you please explain how you configure the Multi Action Panic item for muting your OBS alerts? Thank you!!
briliant, thank you very much!
Awesome tips. Especially the 4k elgato part.
Thank you!
Great video. Thanks so much. Any idea when audioswitcher will be compatible with windows 11?
Fantastic! Thnx
Looks great and advanced enough to me.
Have you done a similar video for Loupedeck Live and preferably on the MACINTOSH platform? I bet that would be a bit more complex.
this video is so good!
this is so helpfull just bought mine :) im also trying to make a stream start multi actions but im having some truble finding some apps etc also like twitch dashboard is there a app for that or can you also open links with system open?
I know this is an older video, but as an owner of a c920, you are correct. This just saved me 2 minutes of irritation to the point where I sometimes didn't even fix it. Thanks!
Very informative. Id like to see more on OBS audio running thru Voicemeeter if possible using elgato streamdeck
332 likes and ZERO dislikes! You know you're doing things right from such a ratio. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this! 😁 Would you consider making a short video on how to set the Weather on the Elgato Stream Deck? I can't seem to get the API settings right and very confusing... 😪
Great Tips. I use a bunch of these already & also use my stream deck for Effects during certain events like Sub Goals & such. I’m always trying to improve my stream. ❤️👍
Welcome to this stream deck video. Today, we are talking about how awesome Bar Raider is!
Seriously though, he's a great guy! Very chill. Excellent video!
Nice video thx. What do you use for open a twitch dashboard and chatbot ? I have only my internet popup but i cant use with Windows mover. Thx
That screen buffer moment got me real good.
😂
Awesome video. I'd love to use the "Windows Mover" Plugin but it doesn't seem to exist on MacOS...know of any alternative?
Thanks for these tips!
I'm really hoping these and/or similar plugins are available for Deckboard (and/or Touch Portal, but I'm still testing both), as I decided to repurpose an old tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A first gen 8") that I had gathering dust in my cupboard for 3 years (I outgrew its limited 16 GB of storage), and so I don't really want to use Elgato Stream Deck Mobile if I can since I can't set up a custom 5×4 button grid for the 4:3 aspect ratio display of the tablet, and it's also a subscription (while I think Deckboard and/or Touch Portal are one-time purchases and/or cheaper subscriptions). I plan to do a video on that as I've set up a custom configuration to have it launch into Deckboard on setup, hide almost all of One UI, and a custom Nova Launcher config that shows me only the apps I need, as well as KWGT widgets set up to resemble Google Nest Hub's "ambient" mode but using different fonts and icons.
(1:43) I do actually move windows into specific positions! For example, I may only stream my main display, then have Spotify (or another music app) off to the left, then Discord, a Matrix client, an IRC client, and/or the stream website chat (like UA-cam or Picarto chat) off to the right.
In addition to this, I'm already planning to create specific profiles for different websites and accounts I may stream to, with buttons specific to the OBS configuration and scene collection, as well as whatever else I may want for that session.
(5:21) For me, I think it might be possible to ping UA-cam Live and Picarto's ingest servers. I don't plan to stream on Twitch as I'm not into videogames.
Thanks for this tip, and I now have the idea to just do a page/folder dedicated to stream preparation actions, including starting apps, moving windows into place, pinging servers (if I wanted), setting specific smart home automation routines (either Home Assistant or directly to Yeelight and BroadLink), setting scenes, bringing up chats, and more, before finally hitting the button to start streaming, and starting my 90 second countdown*
*I've had the idea to do a BBC News inspired countdown where the only common thing would be a countdown in the bottom left corner. I'd have footage from my videos and live streams (starting out with a blank screen on the first stream and building up), and would probably pick some music from the UA-cam Audio Library.
(8:23) While I don't stream on Twitch, I've had flashbacks to when I witnessed some Discord guilds/servers get raided, so I'm imagining there's some kind of plugin that would allow me to temporarily ban and/or kick users who misbehave in chats, by pressing the button that has their profile picture and display name on it.
(12:43) I've been planning to do that! While some other users have intentionally or accidentally publicised their live stream playlists, I plan to just use those for starting points and/or inspiration, then create different playlists (mainly in Spotify) for different stream content types that just contain music I like across different genres.
(13:05) I'm planning to set up custom icons that would fit my own art style, once I begin doing actual art instead of just sketching.
Just a heads up for any MMO players that stream, F13-F24 is actually accessible via Shift+F1 through Shift+F12 (for example, Shift+F5 is F17). So if you have those setup for anything in the game, lookout for that.
awesome video. one thing I do with my 'going live' button is make it a multi-action switch so that i have actions for stream ending like setting twitter name back, turning off studio lights and playing ending music.
I see what you did there at 4:31 haha Nice one. ;-)
Along with normal stream control stuff, I use the Advanced Launcher plugin to run Packet Sender with the appropriate options to change Input/Output mappings on my HDMI Matrix Switch. Along with my monitors, one of the outputs is an Atomos Connect 4k that is connected to my Gaming/Streaming PC as the capture source for my streaming. This allows me to quickly and easily capture any source on the HDMI Matrix Switch (including of course the Gaming PC output used for games).
Great video. Thanks for the tips. I’m new to the Stream Deck, but I’m loving it for productivity.
When I look for Windows Mover, it’s not showing up in my native store app. When I search for it in my internet browser I can find it, but it won’t download on my Deck. Any tips for what might be the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Honestly, I'd love a video of all the things that should be considered when you have one of these and how to set them up properly and how to manipulate them. When I start streaming I really want one but they seem really complicated so an in depth walkthrough and explanation of how things work not just how to use them would be amazing.
Thank you for this video. How do you select Chrome pop-outs for Twitch Chat, Quick Actions and Activity feed ? I can't manage to get them in the Windows Mover.
