    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!

    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 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

  • @JouninK
    @JouninK 6 років тому

    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!

    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?

  • @Ravioko
    @Ravioko 6 років тому +8

    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.
