Great stuff sir. I'm a newer streamer and I've always wanted a stream deck to help with switching scenes and doing goofy things when people follow me. Your channel is always the first place I go to when I'm looking to improve my stream. Great work!
Agreed. It would be so helpful but I want to actually get some growth going before I start investing money in like a green screen and stream decks and stuff.
Great Video as always! Wish I had known these were coming out before because my desk is cramped! I bought the stream deck and took months to set it up because of travel and other personal things. I'm shocked at how convenient and well integrated it is. This is a smart way to bring more people into the market by lowering the price. The ability to nest additional commands into folders really makes the number of buttons much easier. Being able to combine actions and adding an additional key press is still an insane upgrade.
Love the channel man. I’m planning on starting to my stream sometime this year and with your videos I feel like I have a head start in knowing everything I need to know as far as setting things up and all the other essential things. Congrats on going full time bro!!!
Sick setup man. I think the full version is by far the better value, the mini may only be great if that's all you can afford maybe? But I still think saving the extra dollary-doos to buy the full size one is the best move. Great video!
Can't give this video enough likes! I've been looking for a good review/tutorial video on this, especially with the extra stuff like the links for making icons. Fantastic video dude. :)
I will use your link to buy mine since you were so simple and upfront about getting a small % from amazon.... and because you said LEVEL UP!!! lol New Subbie
Well Done mate, loving that youve gone full time! Was wondering if you could do a series or a few videos on StreamLabs OBS, i know youve done a OBS but there has been alot of cool changes and new things added to the StreamLabs version.
I definitely don't need 15 keys, so this seems perfect. Just going to wait for a sale though, because this doesn't seam to have enough of a price difference from the standard deck.
Great video. Thanks! I just ordered this and looking forward to it coming in this week. (BTW did you really just ask if "professionalism" is a word? 14:22 lol)
Just built 3 multi-action keys. One for going live on XBOX, one for PC, and one for ending stream. My end stream is set to play music and will auto stop streaming when the music ends. Thinking of more ways to do it but so far I LOVE the stream deck lol
It's meant to make things more simple, including for people with advanced streams. I would like one since I have that intermission screen in between game switches etc. Although right now it doesn't matter but for the future.
I know this is 10 months old, but you can have folders, so if each button is a folder, it is basically 30 buttons (5 buttons per folder, + a go back button)
for me i think it'll be worth it, i used to have the XL but regrettably sold it, the XL sells for 210 roughly around the place, and the mini is sold at 100, pretty cheap to get it again.
I bought this unit thinking it would help me with having multiple cameras for my model railway youtube channel. I don’t use OBS. Was this the wrong purchase? Thanks
I notice a lot of icons for on off functionality. Can you set a button so that as you press it, the icon changes to show you when it is on or off? (Press button, icon changes to ON. Press again, icon changes to OFF)
Very good review! I like the idea of having illuminated custom buttons instead of having to jot my macros down and alt Tab all the time. Sure there are other ways to the same things, but why not use a tool to help you streamline your tasks? Having a singular tool that would allow streamers to stream/ post/ adjust volume etc without taking away anytime from your gameplay is amazing! My only concern at the moment is I would have thought the price would be at least 1/2 of the original, but I suppose Elgato is banking on a wave of impulse buyers. Lets see how long it takes for the price to drop, but I have to be honest...i'm probably gonna buy it "at a high price" haha!
@gamingcareers Do you have an AFFILIATE LINK for the regular stream deck? I want to support you man and love what you are doing! I refer to your videos all the time to my Twitch community! Keep up the great work bro!
I don’t think anyone was confused because of using “improper grammar” you felt the need to only share your input on. Since anyone with a functioning brain would get what he’s trying to, I don’t really see the point of your comment at all.
Hey Gaming careers, Can you please do a video on how to use Streamlabs chatbot! There is a few around but your videos are the easiest to follow. Cheers bud!
Can you map key board actions in the Stream Deck? I.e. in game save/quit/resume? I do a lot of Borderlands farming and it's a pain to have to hit the escape key, then mouse down to the quit selection, then press enter to accept save & quit, then mouse up to select "resume". I'd like to be able to all of this with the push of one button. Do-able?
Can I ask you. Given th eorocr point and the fact I'm a very small time streamer, would you recommend I purchase the mini deck or the large one. Also I will be using your link when I buy. Give a little back
So wait, you can't set it up to awutomatically switch to the right app before you do something? I don't have time to context switch to an app before pressing a button... so this has got to be wrong. And there better be some way to set it to context switch back to the last app you had in the foreground after you pressed the button, switched apps, dit the business, then switch back...
Hey im looking to buy the elgato stream deck and not the mini. Anyway im still able to help you out or is that just for the mini? Also are you able to get the software online or do you need a disk drive?
Thanks for the video. If I would consider getting a stream deck I would probably go for the 15 key version but I like that the mini is less in your face versions and takes up less desk space. Great vid and good luck with full time youtube. Is there a link to the 15 key version I could use that would give you a small cut from amazon.de if I buy it there?
To be honest the you guys should spent a bit more for the bigger one, going into folder, then again and again to activate a affect and then back out off all the folders. This will give you a massive headache!
In Canadian funds on Amazon today, it's $200 for the 15 key and only $127 for the 6 key option. So it's $70 more here, and that can go a long way to other gear.
I see it the other way around. Why would I shell out 140 bucks, when you can just buy the Mini for cheaper and just use folders or multi-actions thusly increasing your macros by a lot
Guys, my brother streams on a PC and plays on his xbox 360, I got him a elgato HD60 and his pc specs are a ryzen 1500x 16gb amd rx 480 win 10 home, I think more than enough to stream which he says works fine, his prob is adding in the background videos or mp4 backgrounds, he says obs makes the cpu usage go up and once its reaches like 30% he says the streams shuts off, I was telling him it's gotta be the obs and setup but he thinks its his pc equipment, now before he was using a amd fx8370 cpu and even know the stream was not as good as now, but he could add in those background videos/mp4 stuff. What could really be the issue that his background flames and whatever else he uses etc. aren't working? Any tips would be great as he is stressing out and bugging me out.
Love you and your channel, been AMAZING help much appreciated! You helped me most with a tutorial on how to make Spotify and Snip interact on the stream, with scrolling text & song request through Nightbot's Auto DJ well, I was having issues the other night, and come to find out, when I log into Nightbot, there is this message in the AutoDJ "Unfortunately Spotify has discontinued the RPC api we were using to control Spotify, so support for it has been removed. Due to licensing issues it's unlikely Spotify integration will return." people were able to song request like so, "!sr eagles hotel california" and it worked perfectly, but not anymore... I was able to open Spotify on my laptop, and it was able to be opened on my Xbox One. I was able to request music from my pc, and it would play through my Xbox One, into my headset, and the chat in my stream could hear it as well, while Snip interacted with Spotify. Everyone and everything was functioning perfectly until this Spotify issue.. Now, I am trying to find a NEW way to let people & myself !sr music, that we BOTH can hear, while Snip or any of the Apps I have downloaded, will recognize it and display the track information on my overlay I need help! I WILL PAY FOR YOUR TIME . LOL . No kidding.... I have beeen beating my head against a wall... Also, when people request music through UA-cam, how do I make it to where they can here it in the stream, but I cant? Please respond if you have the chance... Thank you
Great stuff sir. I'm a newer streamer and I've always wanted a stream deck to help with switching scenes and doing goofy things when people follow me. Your channel is always the first place I go to when I'm looking to improve my stream. Great work!
my channel is so small it doesn't make sense for me to buy this.... but, I want it lmfao
I dont stream yet but i buy it for a Black Friday offer in Amazon haha
I was thinking the same thing...I want it, but I'm still debating if I need it lol...
Agreed. It would be so helpful but I want to actually get some growth going before I start investing money in like a green screen and stream decks and stuff.
You can still use it for art and other stuff that not gaming.
Just remember. Streamlabs OBS has a feature that turns your phone into a Streamdeck. Lol

Grats on the 100k my friend, well deserved. U deliver well crafted content since day one. Me and u are very relatable bro. Keep up the good work
The 15 key one was just on sale for $100... So I will just wait for that again instead of spending the same price for the mini. But great video.
Zenzuken Do you know exactly when what kind of sale cause I was planning on buying the big one as well
Wantedmichael it happened on the prime day sale
You can get it today/tomorrow for 99€ again!
Thanks for the overview and the little tutorial man good stuff
Love your vids man, has really helped out my quality on Twitch
Congrats on 100k man, been watching you for a while and you really deserve it.
Love the channel man. I’m planning on starting to my stream sometime this year and with your videos I feel like I have a head start in knowing everything I need to know as far as setting things up and all the other essential things. Congrats on going full time bro!!!

That desk though! I can't get over how clean your set up is
Congratz on 100K!
100,000 subscribers! =D
I remember finding your channel at 1 or 2k. You've come far.
I will use your link to buy mine since you were so simple and upfront about getting a small % from amazon.... and because you said LEVEL UP!!! lol New Subbie
Keep up the great content! Its great to see your channel grow so quickly
just so you guys know, on amazon, it's at most 80$ now, so don't get as bummed out about the price. It's 65$ usd for me now, but it could change.
Thanks for the intro - I 've ordered thru your link
I know i'm late here, but this video was SO helpful. Thank you so much!
Awesome video, answered all the questions I had and was EXACTLY what I needed and more. Great job!
Awesome video as always. Thanks for all the help!
A mid stream Action replay using the stream deck would be awesome.
instablaster
Great video man, talked me into buying one and i will be going through your link when i do.
Congratulations on 100k mate
Well Done mate, loving that youve gone full time! Was wondering if you could do a series or a few videos on StreamLabs OBS, i know youve done a OBS but there has been alot of cool changes and new things added to the StreamLabs version.
Love all the information man. thank you! i think i can speak for all of us. keep up the good work.
Thanks for talking about the mini, as well as the new multifunction feature.
Got the Stream Deck mini and I am looking forward to setting it up with my future Mac Mini/iMac monitor 4K, Elgato 1080p/4K camera, and 15 key Mk2!
I definitely don't need 15 keys, so this seems perfect. Just going to wait for a sale though, because this doesn't seam to have enough of a price difference from the standard deck.
Same
Ravioko eBay??
Thx man u explain everything clear...good job
I have one since only a few hours but I love it alredy
Thank you for your review, pretty informative. I just ordered one(98 Euro here in Germany)
Great video. Thanks! I just ordered this and looking forward to it coming in this week. (BTW did you really just ask if "professionalism" is a word? 14:22 lol)
For some reason I cant center the boxed text when its a streamlabs connected text. Is there any way to center that text?
Also just ordered it through link!
I know you basically can get the same experience with the mini one, but I still wanna buy the XL one
Great video man, thanks for the info as always.
Thank u for all ur help Pete
Just built 3 multi-action keys. One for going live on XBOX, one for PC, and one for ending stream. My end stream is set to play music and will auto stop streaming when the music ends. Thinking of more ways to do it but so far I LOVE the stream deck lol
Definitely looking forward to a more advanced part of the Stream Deck and things to do with the multi-actions!!!
It's meant to make things more simple, including for people with advanced streams.
I would like one since I have that intermission screen in between game switches etc. Although right now it doesn't matter but for the future.
Really Cool Video! Would love to see one more advanced stuff too :D
Great Video. Thanks so much man.
Thanks for good video! Very informative.
congrats on 100k subs mate!
Wish it had 8 keys. Would be perfect.
I know this is 10 months old, but you can have folders, so if each button is a folder, it is basically 30 buttons (5 buttons per folder, + a go back button)
id buy that! 8 would be perfect
I wish it had 15 keys
@@Protodead the regular one does
They did mention you can assign multiple functions on the one button.
I love your videos. You are awesome. I might get one of these things soon
for me i think it'll be worth it, i used to have the XL but regrettably sold it, the XL sells for 210 roughly around the place, and the mini is sold at 100, pretty cheap to get it again.
good vid. simple question....can you use this with a DAW to control transport controls....start, stop, record....etc etc.
thanks.
thank you! great video
I hope ElGato has some kind of deal with you man,... you complete sold me the streamdeck.
Im going for one NOW!
Love your content
This looks super cool!!!
That looks wicked. Would love a more in-depth video on how to use it. Also is it possible to link it to discord to post stream updates in there????
Great review! (Consider moving that poster in the background tho..)
How do you setup scenes?
I bought this unit thinking it would help me with having multiple cameras for my model railway youtube channel.
I don’t use OBS. Was this the wrong purchase?
Thanks
I just bought a big one today... but I am not even streaming. Great product! :)
The Stream Deck was Mini's price at Black Friday so I bought that instead :)
Can you make a video on how to make the be right back and starting soon scenes please
a great video..and I think this would be a very helpful tool for us smaller channels.
I notice a lot of icons for on off functionality. Can you set a button so that as you press it, the icon changes to show you when it is on or off? (Press button, icon changes to ON. Press again, icon changes to OFF)
I know the video is older but mini is on sale for $79 USD at Target right now.

Do you have to have the browser open in order for the stream deck mini to open UA-cam channel?
If I have 2 cameras can I switch the cameras with the deck? Thanks for the amazing Video!!
One thing you should mention is the stream deck only works on windows 10 64-bit.
New studio looks so lit though
@gamingcareers Do you have an AFFILIATE LINK for the regular stream deck? I want to support you man and love what you are doing! I refer to your videos all the time to my Twitch community! Keep up the great work bro!
7:40 Shouldn't that be "fewer" since you can count the number of scenes?
I don’t think anyone was confused because of using “improper grammar” you felt the need to only share your input on. Since anyone with a functioning brain would get what he’s trying to, I don’t really see the point of your comment at all.
@@Duderus It was actually intended as a question.
Will this device be able to switch between cameras and mics in/during a Zoom session?
it would be really cool if you could do a video about the streaming app Bebo and what you think about it
U used it on OBS but can you use it on elgato?!
Amazing Video!!! Thank you for making this! It is an awesome product. But I am not a fan of the price. But others may find value in this.
You look like a British version of Jim Halpert from the office.
Hey Gaming careers, Can you please do a video on how to use Streamlabs chatbot! There is a few around but your videos are the easiest to follow. Cheers bud!
but the question is this good also for the nintendo switch
can I use with stream elements
Can you map key board actions in the Stream Deck? I.e. in game save/quit/resume?

Also, can I record videos with this?
Hello! Is there a way to change the output? I have a theatre production and I'm hoping to use a projector instead of broadcasting a live stream.
this is so great! really but any chance to other things using like run itunes and start play run Snaz and snip?
Will this work with obs live?
got the same g203, love it lolXD
Can I ask you. Given th eorocr point and the fact I'm a very small time streamer, would you recommend I purchase the mini deck or the large one. Also I will be using your link when I buy. Give a little back

I feel like the mini is a perfume sample of the big deck
can I bind multiple keystrokes for keyboard shortcuts for Premiere pro? Thanks!
Hey im looking to buy the elgato stream deck and not the mini. Anyway im still able to help you out or is that just for the mini?

Wow Congrats on 100k. How can you make Transition from Scene to another on OBS?
UrdQ - Fortnite hi bro u can use the hotkeys
CahalHD OK thanks alot
UrdQ - Fortnite NP and good luck!!
CahalHD thx😃
Hey men, how did you change the wallpaper of the streamdeck? i mean the image that appears when not using the stream deck
This was awesome thank you for everything!!!
To be honest the you guys should spent a bit more for the bigger one, going into folder, then again and again to activate a affect and then back out off all the folders. This will give you a massive headache!
good setup
I think its cool but the mini seems pointless if the pro its only 40 more
I agree with that. $40 is not that much more.
It matters a lot when people are budgeting buying other things like monitors & such. & it might matter a lot on Black Friday lol idk
In Canadian funds on Amazon today, it's $200 for the 15 key and only $127 for the 6 key option. So it's $70 more here, and that can go a long way to other gear.
Agreed but the mini was just on sale for me for $70. I felt that was worth the compromise.
I see it the other way around. Why would I shell out 140 bucks, when you can just buy the Mini for cheaper and just use folders or multi-actions thusly increasing your macros by a lot
