I work as a local newscast director, and we use a Stream Deck for use with Ross Overdrive to run custom controls for our lights, and monitors.
Finally! Someone showing how I like to use my Streamdeck. This saves me so much time and with fewer mistakes. Love it!
This dude seems like a cool dude
He has his own channel called steggy or something
Yea so true
Wearing a jumper, so he probably was cool.
Perfect companion for any office worker! One week in and loving it!
Great that this use is getting attention. I use it as a developer for build management, launching IDEs, etc. Works great but more direct integration would be amazing.
@J W I do still use it but I need to speed some time to use the new features. Back when I set it up I hit some limitations but if you’re creative you can usually get it done.
I’m on MacOS so you won’t be any worse off than me.
Using it 1 year now, and I use it all the time. Can't live without it anymore, helps a lot on work.
Glad to hear it. 😎
Thanks - really useful pointers.
Great and helpful video as always
Interested to know which camera/lens and mount are you using.
Thanks in advance.
Curious about the ‘timed sequences’ he talked about at the end
oh, and another question; how do i update the Custom: Counter action so it connects to a text on screen for different counters like deaths and wins?
Just purchased my stream deck. It would be great if you or someone would create a tutorial. Showing how to use the stream deck with macros for the 820 Mini Pro ISO video switcher & OBS
3 questions....can you set it up for transport control for your DAW. and can you use it to UP/Down thru presets on say, a synth? can you do incremental and decremental messages. lets say for volume, each press would increase by one.
thanks
I love it
bless you steggy
This dude leak the new name for valve console
That's actually why I bought a StreamDeck, because I can do plenty of things with one click.
20 years ago, a company annoucned a complete keaybord with LCD on each key, I was HYPED so much, but it was overpriced and I guess never released in the end. I can't believe it took so long to a company to create such a thing. :')
You talking about the Optimus keyboard? I soooooo wanted that back in the day.
Hello, I would like to know if your green screen can be used to take professional photos and VFX, Does the material of your green screen receive light like a studio green background?
at 2:30 of video, which capture card you used to show tab screen on PC?
I gotta get one! But which one is right for me?
Hi
I use different browsers for different uses. E.g. Chrome for all my browsing, Opera for all my social media, Edge for my work.
I am setting up the stream deck, setting up website shortcuts. However all shortcuts open in the default browser i.e. Chrome.
How do I make certain websites to open in specific browser? E.g. Outlook to open in Edge, but RUclips to open in Chrome.
Thanks
Can I use stream deck with Google chrome to open different tabs and perform actions on that tab with a single button press? Iow, can I program a button to go to a browser tab, fill text in a data box and press submit?
What drawin pad did u use in this vid for teaching broadcast? Thanks,
Is there anyway to get a stopwatch?? Thats something I use all the time at work and it would be AMAZING to be able to get it on my stream deck
does this device work through a vdi? like citrix? or vmware?
I really like the Deathadder
I really miss an overview over all pre-made layouts templates you get from Elgato in the elgato software without having to do anything else than loading it. Havent seen that anywhere
The text entry doesn't work where I needed it. Could have to do with the web-app but it seems the text gets cut off most of the time because the entry is so fast. If there was a way to control the speed of text input that would be useful for these types of situations where input can be throttled.
How do you set a button to open a FOLDER ON my drive - say the downloads folder for instance?
loving this video, but i have a question about Discord plugins while streaming.. is there a way to toggle deafen/mute towards the output of the stream, but not the person i'm talking to? this would be very handy for when i need to quickly say something to my stream, but my stream won't hear the person i'm talking to but i still can.
It is possible to do that with voicemeeter, or VB audio cable if you dont want to use voicemeeter.
The new Wave Link software associated with the Wave:1 and Wave:3 microphones allows to do exactly those kinds of things.
Does the Stream Deck work as an input device... Say I work in an RDP environment, can it paste text into the RDP session i'm in.. or only on my local computer?
would be great if you had your link to your
website under in the comments
I have all my Linux commands on one screen.. soooo useful
Please can you also tell me your set up for projecting your iPad to your PC... that's cool. I like the cable set up and would like to do something similar
Late, but its capture card :))
@2:55 Riae. Nice
Wish they made an easy window resizer for Macs
What is the plugin mentioned that opens apps, resizing and places windows? My use case basically is to launch a few apps and browser windows - with very specific locations. This is for a customer service situation where I want the right things to be opened (and closed) on my primary 4k display and secondary display. I could be doing anything, and then fire up everything the way I want when a call comes in. He mentioned a plugin, but I am not seeing anything by the name stated.
Bottom right of Stream Deck app -> More Actions -> Windows Mover & Resizer
@@geogan2 I don't see this plugin inside of my "More Actions". I also don't see the "Advanced Launcher" that I've heard mentioned in a lot of places. Is it because I'm on a Mac or because I am using the Stream Deck app instead of the hardware? I'm testing the app first to see if I want the hardware but without these plugins I'm not as sold on it's value as a productivity tool.
@@ingressionable Probably only works on PC. If its not there when you search for "mover" then you are out of luck. Didn't even know Stream Deck was on Mac.
@@geogan2 Thank you for your reply, geogan2. Now I will stop driving myself crazy trying to find these plugins!! You would think they could expand their addressable market by +25% if they catered to the Mac crowd. Hopefully they have some good product managers with roadmaps that include those of us want to use Stream Deck for productivity on Macs!
Can you programm the steamdeck on one computer, then use it on another computer that does not have the software?
Kind of off topic. I saw you had a connection from your iPad to your screen. I'm a teacher and I'm trying to figure out how do something, I think its similar, but then again, maybe not. I want to be able to use my ipad to teach mindmapping. I know there is share screen on my PC/windows but how does one do the mindmapping on the iPad (2022 version) and have it share screen on Zoom? I hand draw the mind maps (don't want to use the MM software I have and share screen). I'm trying to find a RUclips video on doing this but don't know what keywords to use.
Does it work over Citrix?
Ehh maybe, they would basically function as additional F keys, personally use a gaming mouse so you don’t have to take your hands off the mouse or keyboard which is important when considering overall speed of use.
Sicc hair dude...make a Elgato hair tutorial haha
Can I connect a cd drive to it and copy my cd collect on to it ?
please, we want a Discord plugin.
What would be the important features of a discord plugin? :)
@@GamerGandalf_ mute / deafen. There’s a 3rd party one but it’s really inconsistent. This is important for streamers especially ones who use multiple pc’s and probably have their hands on their gaming keyboard and have their streaming pc keyboard tucked away.
I wonder if I can program this on one computer and use it on another? The reason I ask is I do not have the admin rights to install software.
Anyone know how to use the Stream Deck to Join/Leave Audio in Zoom? I am hosting a 4-person roundtable discussion via Zoom. We have a pro account that acts like the host. Myself and three others join the meeting and while pre-show music plays we chitty chat in Zoom. Then, I hit the button on Stream Deck for my intro. At the end of the intro, it autoswitches to our 4-dudes Talking scene, but I have to mouse click JOIN AUDIO on Zoom. I have tried Virtual Audio Cable and VoiceMeeter Banana and they are waaay to cumbersome. I just want Desktop audio and have the Host Zoom account NOT join audio until it's go time is the bet way I've found (for my feeble mind). There is no Keyboard Shortcut to Join Audio in Zoom. Anyone have any ideas?
what is this windows resizer example and can we get a demo?
i quote
which wacom is that
Does it have an onboard memory?
Anyone know whats the difference between adding a folder using "Create Folder" or a profile using "Switch Profile"? I only have 6 keys on the mini so I want the best way to add more functions by switching between various groups of six buttons. I think one button is going to be wasted having a folder or profile button there though so only 5 actual functions per page.
I'd recommend using Switch Profile and having lots of saved profiles. As you improve your setup, you will make updates to your most used buttons. and if you have folders embedded, even if they are copied, they will not auto update. Whereas if you use switch profiles and have different profiles for different actions, that will update for wherever the switch to profile is enabled. For example, I have an OBS profile, and within there I want one click to get to my Philips Hue profile. If I was in my Zoom profile, I also want quick access to my lights profile. Folders would have to be updated each time if you copy and paste, whereas the switch profile will always go to the latest update of that profile. Go for profiles! Hope that helps.
I am a new owner of a Stream Deck MK2, I have spent hours to set up the way I want it initially, mainly for productivity and online meetings. Definitely profiles, you can create limitless profiles, one profile for each application, giving you a lot of options and possibilities
Can you get around 500 character limit
I'm really enjoying my Stream Deck XL but I'm not managing the "paste pre-copied text". It doesn't come formated as in your example here. My text goes in as one scrumbled paragraph, word after word. What am I doing wrong?
Have you tried entering breaks by hitting 'shit'+'enter"?
@@RichardDowdy82 Didn't know there was a "Shit" key on the keyboard haha..... I get what you mean, thank you, will test.
@@HomesickMac HAHA!! It's a new hotkey combination.... Either way, I hope it works for you.
Elgato should do some sort of deal with teachers to help with online
great idea
Stegy is an asset.
So it simply is like the G
keys on a Logitech keyboard?
yeah pretty much, since the G keys are macro buttons without screens
I thought the same but the visual and ability to add subfolders is what sets this apart. I use both.
@@timetravelvictim I see. Thanks for the information. :D
What was that drawing tablet he used at 2:24?
It’s an iPad Air or Pro.
Bought the stream deck+ today... have yet to find this useful in the slightest bit. If I was a streamer using OBS all the time, then yeah, it would be great. However, I'm not. So unless you're streaming, it's not worth the money. At least not that I have found. Zoom controls? $10 a year to mute your calls. For example, yeah, I can press a button to launch an app, but if my hands are already on the keyboard, why not use alt+tab, or if on a mac use Alfred to launch an app. I don't see the productivity gain for everyday business use. I'd like to hear an example of how this can be used for everyday business use than alt+tab and launching of an app. (and if you're on a mac using alfred, you know exactly what I'm talking about)
Still can't attach an image to a body of text syet. So still pretty annoying when I want to send an automated email with a couple of images in.
1:40
Any other composers using sirbillius?
How would I use Stream Deck to mute audio and video in a Webex Call?
Number 2 needed to have waaaaaaay more explanation as it matters a ton.
What drawing tablet are you using around 2:27
I don't know what he uses, but I use my iPad Pro like that if it's at all helpful. It's great in OBS being able to switch to the iPad scene, vs app share screen etc.
Simon Goode he is also using the iPad Pro plugged into a capture card
👏 Release 👏 Merch 👏 Now 👏 Please
So this is shortcuts across computers and peripherals on steroids? 🙂
Can we use excel shortcuts using this ?
Yes! 🙌
@@elgato thanks 🙏
hello the game does not work in the game it works outside the game how can i do this i need help
I would like to use my Stream Deck at work, but was told it would violate your EULA for commercial use. Can you please clarify if Stream Deck is allowed to be used in the workplace?
"Elgato hereby grants you permission to use the Website and its Content, provided that (i) your use is solely for your personal, noncommercial use; (ii) you do not modify or sell the Content; and (iii) you do not reproduce, display, publicly perform, distribute, or otherwise use the Content for any public or commercial purpose, including use of the Content on any other website."
Just one problem. Tutorials and documentation for Stream Deck are deplorable. So, plan on learning by trial-and-error where you will squander several hours just trying to master the most basic functions before getting any actual use from the device.
It is wonderful knowing that you know how Stream Deck works but as a novice to it, I cannot tell you how frustrated your infomercial made me feel. I really thought that this was going to be a training video. Normally I watch videos at a 1.5 speed, but to follow you, I had to slow it down .75 to be able to grasp your words, that was a first and I grew up in New York City. I bought my Stream Deck yesterday and so far all I can get it to is look pretty on my desk.
Yes, I still don't know HOW to do the functions he unpacked in this video. Unfortunately. I just picked up the XL and came online to search for help. This video was not much help...
This video wasn't a "how-to" video, but more a pre-purchase video for people trying to imagine what's possible before buying. I found it immensely helpful before purchasing though, so I think you just expected this apple to make orange juice. :P I'd suggest searching for the word "tutorial", but here's one that might be a good start: ruclips.net/video/NbdDF4bo8-s/видео.html good luck!
Hey buddy, your light mount is crooked. Top quality gear used here!
Why is it so expensive?
Productivity in the workplace…. Baby voices
thanks for the tips...left handed weirdo!!! j/k my dad was left handed.
testing my emoji stream deck😱🙄
HEY, he is the corsair guy
JesseVDH_2 elgato Is corsair
@JesseVDH_2 yes corsair owns elgato
Well, this answered my question. The stream deck is useless for office work. It has potential for creative work with macros, but not enough keys for that.
In the name, it's good for "stream"ing.
So get a couple of them(they chain), or get the big 30-odd key version? Or maybe be more creative, more selective with how you use it. I've setting mine up to: launch my 'New Ticket/SR' window auto-populated with some required basic details, couple of quick text entries, screenshot button, auto-launch and start recording OBS, mute/volume/webcam buttons for Teams/Zoom/etc... I also have two crypto tickers, a CPU, and a 'take a break' timer/alarm. And that's just my first page of shortcuts. I also use it for gaming after I'm done with my work day!
@@nicholasscholten I don't stream at all.
On my 15-button Stream Deck2, I have a profile for my DAW, which speeds up editing my audio-only podcasts, another for Excel for selecting/comparing ranges and for concatenating cells etc., and another for my desktop.
My desktop profile is an App launcher, a clock, a controller for my office and desk lights (normally motion controlled after sunset, but sometimes I want them on before sunset). I have three timer buttons (45/30/10 minutes). some text paste buttons that work in any text app, so I don't have to program the same quick-text or auto-replace into every App whilst remembering the keystrokes. I have another folder from my desktop profile that opens and displays different price lists and technical spec PDFs for me... one click and no searching.
It really does have many uses outside of streaming. The problem is all the 'reviews' and 'tutorials' seem to focus on using Zoom or MS Teams video, so it took me some time to discover other uses for general office work, but now it is really useful to me.
Seems way overpriced
First pin me
Yeah, I'd really like to see the work-environment where a conference-call actuall benefits from "fun things like a baby-voice"... In none of the jobs I've held would that ever be even remotely acceptable.
