There is a lot of value in this video, thank you for putting it together Cat! Your configurations are quite welll thought out & comprehensive. It was meaningful that you took the time to show all of those nuances! As someone completely new to Stream Decks (but have often considered one), knowing that all of those capabilities are even possible is a game changer.
Hi Cat, you're amazing! All of the other reviews people just fly through things and don't give a clear step-by-step. Tons of people appreciate your approach, and I'm one of them. Your tutorial showed me things I never even imagined were options to simplify life in Teams calls and other random things I use daily. Now I have plans to use an old iOS device on an arm for my work PC, another old iOS device for a laptop companion, and will use the Stream Deck+ I bought today for my personal/VR/gaming PC. Thank you!
I discovered your YT channel - just a couple weeks ago when I got my Stream Deck + and was trying to figure out. And, I've watched a bunch - as I'm trying to take my on-line presentation up a notch. THANK YOU! I LOVE my Stream Deck. Hoping that they'll make the Android free ver too as I'm looking for something for when I'm on the road.
Welcome to the channel! I'm so glad you are looking to take your presentations to the next level 😊 Agreed about Android. It sounds like they are working on it.
Enjoy your video very much. I am quite new and got StreamDeck mobile 2 weeks ago with lifetime version. I have 2 questions to consult you: 1. I set 4x8 buttons. Can I set another 2x3 or 2x4 etc buttons page for any new profiles and how to do that? 2. If I can do a 2x3 or 2x4 etc buttons format, can I enlarge the button/icon image frame to have a more clear/larger picture of the icons appeared on my Ipad? Appreciate your help.
I was looking forward to the iPad version so much. Finally, we get more buttons there - and with the lifetime plan, it should really help when on the road. I did buy a monthly plan when I needed it. Thank you, Cat, for the hint. I didn't even know that the mobile app has now been improved.
Thanks for the video. I didn't know we could get the 6 Button Mobile Stream Deck for free. I was considering purchasing a physical model and was wondering how functional it would be. With the mobile version, I'll take a few days to explore it; This will allow me to get a good idea of its relevance.
Hi. **HOW** do you add obs to the stream deck mobile? I was hoping you would have covered that. (you didn't 😞) Unless you have *another* video somewhere that explains it?
Not sure if i misunderstood but if you buy lifetime once your able to use that across say an ipad and iphone or is it only usable on one device at a time? Thanks
Very good presentation. I love my physical stream deck so my first thought was not being able to feel buttons so having to look down. Of course, you pointed that out. 😊 I could still see using this for some things, maybe with an old iPad that’s collecting dust. The lifetime plan seems reasonable to me and hey, it supports the development of the software so I’m good with that.
The more I dive in, the more possibilities I see with the mobile app! For example, you can use your mobile app to switch profiles on your physical stream deck 😉
(3.27.2024) So, I'm not sure if the free plan is still working for existing clients, but Elgato, sometime in the intervening 8 months since this video's release, have made the lifetime free version and turned it into a limited time trial version, which is sad. I'm still not sure I'm going to make it as a streamer (Twitch keep changing the rules to their rules every time I come close to even affiliate status). While this very limited time trial sounds inviting, the reality is very different. It could take months or years to not succeed and *i* don't have the money to keep pouring in to it, to be honest.
That shouldn't be the case! The Elgato instructions mention access to all plugins even on the free plan. Now, in my video, I didn't use an Excel plugin. I used the Open to launch excel and open a folder, then every other action was a Hotkey using Excel shortcuts (support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/keyboard-shortcuts-in-excel-1798d9d5-842a-42b8-9c99-9b7213f0040f#PickTab=Windows)
I teach classes over Zoom with a .ppt. I've watched many, many of your videos. I feel like I set everything up right; (two monitors, OBS, streamdeck) but when I turn it all on and use it on Zoom, my .ppt scene on OBS just stays on one slide, even though my .ppt screen is advancing properly. Do you think my whole problem is my i5 processor?
I can't say for sure, but processing power does matter when you are running PPT, Zoom, and OBS all at the same time. But, I'm surprised it's not just lagging instead of not advancing at all (I would expect it to eventually switch slides in OBS, albeit slow). It might be worth setting aside OBS for a moment and testing how your computer handles PPT Cameo (inserting you camera feed into the PPT slides).

How comes this channel is so underrated this is a hidden gem
Love the smile and the cheekiness. The structure of what you present is excellent and very clear, many thanks for your videos.

You are absolutely mesmerizing. I have no idea what you were talking about... Subbed. ❤🙂😊

5:18 newbie… but what would be purpose/use of creating another virtual device?
Great presentation Cat, thanks for posting.
Thanks Cat, I was delaying using Streamdeck as it is so expensive in NZ to use, so I will be able to try it out. Brill!
I'm so glad to hear it!
I was looking forward to the iPad version so much. Finally, we get more buttons there - and with the lifetime plan, it should really help when on the road. I did buy a monthly plan when I needed it. Thank you, Cat, for the hint. I didn't even know that the mobile app has now been improved.
So many buttons with the pro plan!!
ohh yes! Great and sparkling explanation. Went for the lifetime acces. This will save time and is more than worth!
Lifetime access is a great deal!
Thanks for the video. I didn't know we could get the 6 Button Mobile Stream Deck for free. I was considering purchasing a physical model and was wondering how functional it would be. With the mobile version, I'll take a few days to explore it; This will allow me to get a good idea of its relevance.
Enjoyed the video--interesting and informative. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!

You are the best
Wow. Got it just. Very useful.
Great to hear!
Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍. I am impressed. It is interesting

Of course, you pointed that out. 😊 I could still see using this for some things, maybe with an old iPad that’s collecting dust. The lifetime plan seems reasonable to me and hey, it supports the development of the software so I’m good with that.

Oh pick me I’m struggling just to afford my RUclips premium! You look amazing by the way! 😊

how to add the mic?
I added excel plugins but they don’t show on the right side? Because it’s only free account?
That shouldn't be the case! The Elgato instructions mention access to all plugins even on the free plan.
Now, in my video, I didn't use an Excel plugin. I used the Open to launch excel and open a folder, then every other action was a Hotkey using Excel shortcuts (support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/keyboard-shortcuts-in-excel-1798d9d5-842a-42b8-9c99-9b7213f0040f#PickTab=Windows)
Something is wrong on the hyper link to the elgato Apple Store. I’m on an iPhone 13pro RUclips app and it pops up “Cannot Connect to App Store”😢
Oh no! Then I would go straight to the App Store from your phone and look up Stream Deck. It should be the first one.
I teach classes over Zoom with a .ppt. I've watched many, many of your videos.

Thank you for your response.
The looking away is a deal breaker for me. physical buttons = win.
The buttons do have the advantage there!
This totally defeats the purpose for me. I wanted a stream deck because I luv the analog aspect of the separate hardware plus the configurability
