I’m severely visually impaired and I have bought a stream deck so control my screen reader software which uses a vast number of unusual shortcut keys.
I have just enough vision to be able to tell if a button has a light or dark background which means I can set up a pattern on the profile to let me know where the buttons are, even if I can’t identify icons on the buttons knowing the position they are means I can still use the steam deck. Very impressed and really helpful.
I think this is essentially what Apple had intended for their quick menu bar on previous MacBooks, but lacked the form factor of having the Deck as an accessory to the side of your workflow.
Yes - similar principles. People have been making DIY pads like this for years - I think elgato just nailed a flexible version. :)
Exactly! My touch bar is better than the stream deck.
The absolute best that I've seen so far. Thanks mate!
I use my Stream Deck to help me broadcast sports. Adding points to a scoreboard, taking graphics in and out, rolling breaks, etc. The Stream Deck seriously has streamlined everything. It has been one of the best purchases I have ever made.
Good stuff! It's such a surprisingly useful tool :)
Stream deck is really nice! Remember that you can control the actions from a phone app as well (30 days free). A good idea if you first just want to try things out.
Only downside is that many 3rd party tools run as individual application on the background (at least this is the case on Windows). Having a ton of actions from various providers can start to show up as CPU and RAM usage. This is not a problem with the built in stuff or with any simple actions that only rely on the html/js based functionality as that runs inside Stream deck app.
Great video! I love seeing how people who don't stream put it to use. Such an incredible tool.
Yeah, it's basically a custom keyboard for macros and automatic shortcut execution. I have one to help with video and audio editing tasks, but also looking at other automations too.
You're reading my mind with your videos. I was looking into this, and this was a great overview of its uses outside of gaming. I think I'm gonna go for it now. Another great video from you. Merry Christmas!
Thanks! Yes, it’s great.
Thank you for this great explanation of how you use a stream deck for productivity. I am a time management coach who makes extensive use of text expanders and other productivity tools and this looks like a worthy addition to my productivity tools setup!
As an illustrator and graphic designer, I bought both the small and xl for my workflow. The small is perfect to place above my Wacom Cintiq. The only chore is designing and creating my own icons as I cannot find art/design specific ones. Great video.
Thanks for sharing. Nice idea. I recommend looking at Iconfinder.com - great free icons that you might find some useful elements from to rework into your own icons.
@@BetterCreating hey thank you for the link.
If I had issues looking for icons, I would want the skills of an illustrator and a graphic designer? Lol
I have used a gaming mouse for the same purpose. The hard part was remembering which button did certain actions. This looks better since you can establish an icon.
Yes totally - lots of people have mentioned using keyboard shortcuts or the Touch Bar: but this visual custom button set up is more significant than you can first think. 👍
that's the primary reason I got the stream deck, cause I had tried setting up a midi controller to do it, but found myself always forgetting which buttons were what. the stream deck gives you that visual reminder, in a form that will fit on even the smallest of PC desks.
Really awesome work here. I can tell you put in a lot of work bringing this idea to life. Thanks mate.
Thanks Ryan. It makes me happy anyway! :)
Been toying with getting this for a while now, so came to your video! Thanks for the breakdown of it all and you've persuaded me :-D Love streamlining workflows so excited at seeing my productivity soar!
Nice. Enjoy!
This is REALLY interesting. I've considered getting one for productivity before but this may have convinced me!
It is serious cool pal. I’m working on a Notion use-case specific video for the new year that I think you’ll enjoy too. 🙌🎉 thanks for watching. Keep up your great content too :)
Woah, this is epic!! Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this tool before, the productivity use cases you have are awesome. Subscribed!
Thanks! Yeah - I’ve known about them for ages and then suddenly thought… why aren’t I using it for non-steaming stuff?! :) welcome to the BC community!
Wow, this is insane. Like a new world. Thank you for the video :) I would be really interested in more productivity videos with stream deck.
Nice one. Yeah - it’s pretty great. Will plan another stream deck video !
I have been eyeing one of this for a while now. Thanks for taking the time to share.
No problem. I love it!
The possibilities are endless with the Stream Deck
Super interesting, might actually pick one of these up now. Solves a lot of issues I’ve been thinking through. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah I think I’m only just scratching the surface of what is possible with a bit of research. I’m hoping to have single button automations to set up for podcasting, specific zoom meetings and online courses perhaps. 👍
I'm forwarding this video to everyone! I use one for my video conferencing calls (Meet and Zoom). Its game changing to a) have dedicated buttons for muting yourself regardless of keyboard shortcut combo and b) to have that button be in the same place for both apps. I don't have to look away to control my settings or stumble around trying to unmute myself because the tab isn't in focus ;)
So glad I stumbled upon your video on this! So many uses!! Thank you! Liked and subbed!
Excellent! Welcome to the BC Community! Thanks for watching.
Nice and helpful Review. I am going to buy one!
Love this idea. I’ve always been aware of this product for streaming, and macros in general, but seeing it in this context is eye opening. Thank you!
Nice one Matthew - thanks for watching. Yeah: loving it for editing and one button work context setups particularly. Love your content by the way - I think we have a lot in common! 🕶👊
@@BetterCreating Appreciate that! Subbed
Great to be connected pal. Nice.
Watch you on my personal account… so now you have me subbed twice! 😂
@@BetterCreating 🙏🏽
Ahhh! Brilliant. I’ve been thinking about a product like this the past year but I didn’t quite know what to search for. This is perfect. Can’t wait to add this to my workflow 🏆👍🏼
Great! Thanks for watching. I recommend trying it on your mobile first and seeing if you really like it :)
@@BetterCreating too late. I already bought it and holy crap! How did I work with out this?!? I’m going to build a custom widget for it - I use Toggl as a time tracker but the existing Toggl widget doesn’t work well.
(1) the icon toggles but if you stop your timer in browser, the Stream Deck doesn’t recognize the change of state.
(2) doesn’t allow you to select Tasks of a Project
Awesome, I have one but never realised it could do so much, thanks for the inspiration 👍🏻
No problem 👍
Downloaded your Notion icon for stream deck - fab thanks. Made one improvement by add /turn to each button action (from /h1 to /turnh1) this mean it will format current block as well as crest new. Thanks for your great content.
Totally agree with the time saved using Stream Deck for everyday functions. I have set up multiple hotkey buttons for a number of procedures in Excel 365 - some with 30 or 40 instructions. I put my 15 button Stream Deck in my laptop bag if I’m working away from home. Automatic switching to a relevant profile when opening an application is brilliant.
What sort of Excel stuff have you found to be helpful? I haven't yet found a good use-case that a simple Excel shortcut already doesn't help with.
I am not using stream deck to replace single keyboard shortcuts. I'm running multiple shortcuts in sequences. Here is an example for a worksheet with over 50 columns and nearly 10K rows. Turn on filtering. Go to top of date column & filter by year. Go to top of category column & filter by a category. Go to end of debit column & create a subtotal formula for visible rows only. That's 4 stream deck buttons to automate 55 keystrokes!
Thanks @@judytessa that's really helpful! Was there a plugin you used for Excel specifically, or just the regular multi-action stuff?
Awesome, I'll try this! Thanks for the inspiration.
No problem. Yes - really enjoying the pad. I definitely think the physical version is best if you enjoy it - the mobile version is good but needed a good internet connection
Subb'd! Thanks for making this video. I bought the same one, betting on the software updates and community creating great shortcuts that will be shared and hopefully I can build and share. Great vid.
Glad I could help and thanks for the Sub. Welcome to the community! big plans for 2022: let's stream deck our way through it. :)
Wow! This is like an external touch bar! Thanks for the video! Considering getting one now 😁
It really is! Nice one.
I'm sold! Getting one now. Thanks for the review.
They are great! Enjoy! :)
Great concise job!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers :)
Perfect video I own a stream deck too and this gets me more inspiration to get more use out of it thx :D
Thanks Jan. Great to hear! His was just 4 days of messing around so I’m sure there is a lot more to discover! :)
Great video! I would never have thought of using a Stream Deck for productivity. I'm getting one!
Thanks Eric. Make sure to also checkout LoupeDeck too before deciding - also looks excellent. :)
I’ve had this in my Amazon list for two years. I love the idea and had similar thinking to you. The thing that gets me is I have to remove my hand from the keyboard to use it. That doesn’t take much time, but it does take some time. I’m on the fence.
I'd never thought of a Stream Deck for non-streaming purposes. Interesting! I do have OBS setup for my webcam and mic to do some light pre-processing, which surprised some colleagues and friends.
New to the unit. I like your presentation style, so I subscribed. This video was a bit of a teaser, so I will look at more. Ctl-Q? I never used shortcuts much. Will look into that one! Thanks.
I've been using two of the XL stream decks as part of my work computer for the past 9 months or so. I'm a Software Engineer and this is incredible useful for setting up easy access to the ginormous amount of hotkeys and commands available in Microsoft Visual Studio. There is even an official plugin available. A real time-saver.
Nice. Thanks for watching.
Hey - also a software engineer thinking about buying one.... What kind of things do you set yours up to do? I'm trying to get ideas for how to speed up development
Great Job on this Video!! ;-)
Thanks!
Good stuff. Worth the subscription.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the BC Community!
Always knew stream deck was handy and have been on fence for a while. Maybe this is enough for me to take the leap. Thanks!
Any time! Sorry if i made you spend money! 😄
You convinced me to buy it.
The Stream Deck Mini is the best purchase I've ever made since I started working remotely.
Very dope. I’m grabbing one forsure.
Nice one. :)
As a software dev I use this thing constantly. There's so many hotkeys for a variety of apps that are just so useful to bind to it.
Nice. Thanks
I used to have a pi-engineering macro keyboard, I used it to make one-key keyboard combos to run our work software, since it had such lovely combos like CTRL-SHIFT-S-F5 and such to do different things.
Nice.
@@BetterCreating I was previously unaware of these though, as the little LED screen is nice. On the Pi-engineering ones, you have to cut out little paper key cap labels, which does the job, but it's not as clean and elegant.
Great video. Thank you
Welcome!
I don't comment on UA-cam often, but this is game changing from a work mindset. Never thought to use a stream deck in this way #amazing
Ah cheers Kevin - great to know! Welcome to the channel.
I also use a Stream Deck. You can do a lot of this using the program Alfred with less pain. I use my Stream Deck for macros and that's about it. Opening websites with it is neat but Alfred is faster, especially if you have to navigate through a page or two to press the button.
Good to know, thanks, I’ll check it out. Sounds excellent.
@@BetterCreating This was my thought as well - as an avid user of Alfred, I could see it and the Stream Deck working in harmony with one another really well.
Mac only, for anyone wondering
I set up a search in Alfred that pings multiple open license photo sites at once… and another for free vectors. It’s awesome.
Great video thanks
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel :)
I am looking forward to implementing Notion and other ideas with the stream deck after preparing the Mac Mini properly. I am into so so many interests which involve many many different topics and finding it hard to stay organized with all the interests. It would be very helpful to be able to have all my tools related to one interest say photography or video editing all accessible easily and open together or open a particular project when the spirit moves me and not have to be like starting over to continue. I am very organized thinker but did not do good job with Apple devices as I got so distracted with all the possibilities. Now I want to focus and organize things. You have been inspiring with your ideas. Charlie
Ah wonderful - glad the vids help out! :)
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Simon! Now I have my Xmas 🎁!
It's sooooo good pal! Happy Holidays!
I bought a gaming mouse a while back to help with productivity and quickly realized there's not enough buttons. It has 7 extra buttons and a scroll wheel that acts as the middle button, in addition to left and right. Some had even more buttons but I did not like their ergonomics. Then I came across this thing and had the same idea. Basically to have the most common hotkeys on the mouse (it also detects what application you're using), then have pages of tasks and visual feedback on the stream deck. I hope it works as well as I imagine.
hello - which plugin did you install to change the audio input from headphones to speakers?
Nice video, thank you!
How can I switch the audio output with the Stream Deck?
You can try the Toggle Audio Device plugin from the stream deck store as a starter. It's good to switch between speaker and headphones.
lovely on the FCPX shortcuts. do you have a shortcut for resizing the frames of a clip, or editing the text of an object?
Easy answer - any shortcut commands Final cut Pro has you can programme in: Just grab a copy of the FCPX manual / search for shortcuts and find them. :)
Great video, thanks! Did you consider the Louvedeck Live at all? I love the idea of the Stream Deck but would like some dials to use with Adobe programs.
Yeah I love the look of loupedeck. I think it can be super good for video editing particularly.
WoW 🤩 awesome
Hello, Congratulations. 👍Cool. Thank You For Advice and Explaining Us. I got it. Someday, I would buy it anytime.
Thanks - it’s a great tool. see you on another one. :)
I find concept interesting. How is this better than shortcut keys or macros?
Thanks for the video. How did you set up the button to change the audio output toggle on your Mac?
You are welcome. It’s a plug-in from the Stream Deck store - I think it’s called Audio Toggle Device … or something with Toggle in - easy to find if searching in audio tools I think. Cheers.
@@BetterCreating I found it, works great! Thank you!
I just bought one! Using it for Notion as well with TextExpander (among other things). TextExpander + Stream Deck = Major Productivity
Cool right?!
Fine! I'll buy one...
This could be a handy tool for a home recording studio, as well. Could have the keys be tools to cut clips, open the mixer, record, and so on!
Nice - agree that’s the idea of fast set up for multi app tasks. :)
I dont stream or game but this tool has been infinitely useful for me. Just for every day tasks on my PC. If something takes at least 3 or more clicks to achieve, then I make a button out of it. My favorite add on is the window mover, which resizes windows and moves them to any one of my 4 monitors. It also allows me to switch between virtual desktops which effectively gives me 8 monitors to work with. I love it so much.
I feel you! Same - not a gamer but it’s got so many uses :)
We dumb out Touch Bar with the same potential when using with Better Touch Tool for functional keys and now we use a separated device called Stream Deck. Absolutely Brilliant !
This is soooo much better than the touch bar IMO - that said - LoupeDeck looks particularly good for editors with the dials.
Great Video, what's the plugin you're using to change the audio device?
Thanks! Search for Toggle Audio Device in the Stream Deck Plugins Store
Excellent content. You’ve got a world wide audience, I recommend you put the affiliate links in both US and UK formats. Cheers.
Thanks pal - it’s on the to do list this month! Thanks :)
Great ideas for someone who has one and hasn't used it yet. 😅🤦
Thanks for the video!
Loving the stream deck joy! Thanks for watching.
Hi there, Let’s say I just discovered your channel. Entered the Apple buying my 2011 Iphone and then an IPad and then 2018 Intel MacMini ….the updated one. Pre…M1 chip. Successfully upgraded memory to 32GB. Added two SSD External Drives. HD filled up and started booting from an SSD. Running very slow. Sorry for details but thought may be relevant for my question. I also have an IPad Pro. I just ordered Elgato Stream Deck Plus,….which I see many possibilities to use with my MacMini. My question and request for advice how I should proceed “starting over” with Mac mini before introducing the StrreamDeck. The HD as you know is not replaceable. Thank you for whatever ideas you may have. Charlie
I use it for coding and for ssh commands on Linux server. Great device.
So cool hearing all the non-streaming use cases!
I only needed a rotary volume control and the ability to program a couple of keyboard shortcuts to a button. Bought a Nobsound S6 that did the job. Less flash but way cheaper.
Using a background music with a loop that sounds exactly like a door bell or phone ringtone - is very clever!
But the video is great, thanks a lot! :D
Haha - thanks! Are you expecting anyone over today?! Thanks for watching Serge. :)
I didn't know I wanted this
Cool video! For some reason I can't program a "close app" button (when I try to record de hotkey, it closes Stream Deck). I'm curious on how did you do that...
Check the comments below - you type Command. Lift and then type Q when observing keystrokes. Otherwise yea it closes stream deck!
Can you please elaborate on how you got the light to work with the Stream Deck (around 5:39 timestamp in the video)? Thank you!
Sure: I recommend a good place to start is the IFTTT plugin and and account with the website (ifttt.com/) and some smart sockets you can buy to plug things into, and them into the wall. This will allow a basic light control with Stream Deck (plus you don't give away all your privacy to Alexa and Google if you don't want to! cheers and thanks for watching!
@@BetterCreating Amazing! Thank you!!!
I’ve had my Elgato for six months and haven’t fired it up yet. But this has fired me up and tomorrow it comes out.
Yeah, Takes a bit of getting past the set up stage and then it’s a great tool!
@@BetterCreating I know this has been the primary reason for the delay is set up. Also I have two offices. Can I move it from say my desktop to a laptop?
Yeah - you can export profiles meaning you could set up a second computer i think by loading them on that too.
@@BetterCreating outstanding, thank you
Ok, it was on my wishlist, but now I’m putting it higher in the list. It’s not yet in my basket… but it’s getting closer XD
Haha - you are welcome! I Think. I’m pleased I did it!
Great review thanks. What's the battery life like? Please can you test Half-Life 2 and Portal. Thanks!
It’s wired so - there is no battery. Cheers
Finally, I don't have to remember all the key shortcuts in CAD/CAM programs.
Edit: One question. Can you use your own custom drawn icons?
Exactly - perfect use cases - multi action buttons for quick context based setup and apps that have a ton of shortcuts you can’t remember!!
Yes indeed - they have a simple icon editor on on the website via the drop down when you add the icon, or just make or download your own in any design app and then add. That’s how I made my Notion Icon Pack for it. Cheers.
Can you make it change between different sets of shortcuts according to which software is running?
Yes - profiles South load for apps. :)
A button to switch audio output seems really useful
Yes indeed - it’s a good one.
Hello! I recently bought a stream deck and I rather like your command Q button. Could you go more into detail on how to configure that? The stream deck software just closes instead of assigning the hotkey to command Q.
Yeah it's good isn't it? Yes I can! When stream deck is observing keystrokes you need to type in the command button on it's own, release it and after a moment then type the 'Q''. This will allow you to add it without quiting the stream deck app. Since it's a generic quit button i've copied one to all my Stream Deck profiles in the same button location so i can easily quit whatever program i'm in. Thanks for watching!
Hey Simon, how easy is it to switch from Windows to Mac? I switch between both operating systems all the time. At work I use Windows but when I'm home I use my MacBook? Thanks for the video again.
Interesting - not sure on that - presumably if you have stream deck loaded separately on pc and mac it will just feed that profile to the deck and just work…
Next time I have extra money lying around I am certainly going to get this v2 one. It looks snappy and works with macOS .. perfect. There's so many apps I use daily where my fingers just smash the keyboard combos to do 3 things over and over again. And mispressing the shortcut can ruin stuff. I'd love to have an external setup like this where i know it will go well and I can keep focus on the screen. I've tried using the iPad itself, but no tactile feedback whatsoever is counterproductive actually. I kept going back to the real keyboard. Even bought a numeric keyboard recently just to have the shortcuts assigned there. Which helped.
Interesting perspective. Yeah I agree - it’s not for everyone - some people just say it’s pointless and slower than keyboard shortcuts - but I find the visual and tactile nature of it has been great for shortcut heavy apps - and I definitely use more of them now. Ps. Get the Cheatsheet app for quickly pulling up a list of every shortcut for your applications.
Thanks for watching
@@BetterCreating cheatsheet is great. :)
Does it need the software installed on the computer you're running it on or do you just need the software for programming it (my work laptop is locked down so I can't install software on it)?
You need the free stream deck app installed on Tyne computer to run the profiles and action commands.
I am using an xl for editing davinci resolve. Didn't even think of using for notion other than just opening it up.
Yeah, I think it has real potential. :) - just getting started with using this for FCP for editing now too.
Awesome stuff. But it could simply be an app on your phone or tablet, right? Is there anything like that out there?
Yeah - there is an app mobile version - has to be on same network as your computer. Or check out the Alfred app for Mac.
Is it work for mac ? mac with usb c port
do we need to buy other cable?
Just purchase a small usb to usb c adapter, use any usbc to usbc data cable or go via an external monitor/hub like I do :)
Does it work on Linux a desktop like Ubuntu?
Hi, I want to use this stream deck also on my company laptop where I cannot install third party apps. Is it possible to configure the whole deck on my private computer an then use it on my corporate machine without the software?
No you need to have the Stream deck software on the computer of the board won't have anything to interface with.
Could I set it up to direct downloaded files to specific hard drive folders or to specific google drive folders by pushing a button? Imagine I hit save us in a pdf about neural networks from a website and then press the neural networks button on the stream deck and automatically send the file to the specified folder.
Interesting idea! I bet there is a capture automation out there doing this kind of thing - would just be a question of how you linked it to Stream deck. Check out Bardeen - interesting chrome extension with web scrapping tool and other great stuff.
@@BetterCreating at the moment all I download goes to my downloads and it stays there forever making a mess... Imagine a pinterest like concept where you can select through the streamdeck where to send the file. Can I ask elgato?
Thanks for a really interesting video. I might have to get one of these.
It would be nice if the buttons could be programmed to change from red to green when you Mute/unmute yourself in Zoom or Teams calls. It looks like they can't actually do that which is a shame.
Yes you can do this: you just need a toggle switch and two coloured icons.
@@BetterCreating Great!! Thanks!
Cool. Also useful, Google home and Chrome bookmarks.
nice one.
Thank you for this. Very helpful. I have one silly question. I'm trying to set up the command Q button but every time I try it closes the streamdeck app. What on earth am I over looking. lols.
Haha - yea a few people have found this. When it is observing keystrokes: Do the command button, release it then press the Q button and you should have it recorded. :)
@@BetterCreating Oh, for heaven's sake... of course. THANK YOU.
This video came up on my recommended.
Great video, but i have a question.
Have you considered Touch-Portal?
You can use a spare phone or tablet, and so pretty much the exact same thing.
Free version has 2 pages, 8 buttons per page.
Paid version (about 12 bucks) can have 74 buttons per page, infinite sub folders.
The community is very active, and there are a ton of plug-ins.
And it's for windows and mac, and Android and iOS.
Great to have you here. Yes I have - it’s the obvious best alternative with infinite tinkering options - great for people who want to maybe keep things cheaper and/or really build their own automations. But honestly: Stream Deck Mobile is a pile of awful - mostly because it’s laggy - but really because it looses the tactile quality of real buttons - I don’t think you can beat that: having real buttons to press in one place is som much better and intuitive. I’m still in the stream deck camp.
Can you make a full tutorial on how to set up your stream deck like this
Will work on it! Nice idea. :)
Where can we get those icons for the stream deck
?
If you are talking about the Notion ones - Bettercreating.com/downloads - if it’s any of the others - I bought mine from MacStories - just search Mac stories icon pack. :)
I've been interested in a Stream Deck for quite some time. But my company does not allow us to install application onto our computers. Can someone tell me, would it be possible to set up the deck on my personal computer an then just plug it into the work laptop or do I need to have the software on the work laptop in order for it to work?
Yeah you need the software from elgato installed on the computer to run the app / commands.
