WOW!! What a wealth of information! I feel as if I’ve been taken on an adventure and have been rewarded with the dragon’s horde! I need to start making more use of my stream deck!
this video is amazing !!! its all i ever wanted to know about lights and the elgato system... im blown away and im diving into this right now wow !!!! thank you so so so much !!
First off, absolutely fantastic video! Came to watch because I wanted to know about the stream deck and became mesmerized by the D&D setup and I have never played it in my life nor am I gamer or any kind. The lighting and the sets are amazing, whisked me right away!

Absolutely stunning work. I do not understand why your channel's not bigger. You absolutely deserve to be mainstream with the amount of creativity and focus you have. Well done. I always learn a lot when I watch your videos.
Thanks mate, always appreciate the support! I think I would put it down to being inconsistent with uploads. I have kids and work full time, so it might be a month or more between videos. That said, it is a goal of mine to work out production a bit better so I can get more ideas out there.
Since I’m in the Mack ecosystem, I can get most of this done with an old iPad and HomeKit. But I love how you’ve integrated the non-HomeKit devices into the touch panel and I just looked and oh Lord they have a foot pedal! :-) Thanks for the breakdown and for the steps on how to get these things into AFF. Greatly appreciated.
I see that you're at nearly 11k subscribers but both the quality of content and production level of your video speaks 500k+ if not more. Keep up the great work and best of luck!
wasn't even looking up anything related to your gameplay, just wanted to learn how to do a few different stream deck options. Really glad I ran into this, and now want to look into all the other stuff I could do with this stream deck lmaoo.
Damn, this video was wonderfully informative! I came looking around to see if there was a way to control smart lights via DMX, but ended up learning about a way I haven't explored before. Great video!
Hey thanks for this video. Most useful. I have taken a step in lighting my gaming room for my next adventure where I need an ocean wave effect. I bought a cheap wave light projector IR controlled. I thought it will do for now see how we get on and in the future replace it with something that can be SteamDeck controlled (when I get one) but thanks to this I can see its not a wasted investment as I can use an IR blaster and control it via SteamDeck. Sounds I wrote my own soundboard application ( I am a software engineer by trade) that I control with a home made "steamdeck" (I have a video about it) but even my home made software from watching this I think I can even use a real steamdeck with that! Really useful video. Thank you.
Thanks Sebastian for this video. I’ve been looking forward to this one on your channel and it’s going to be a huge help. Curious if you will ever be doing a video on how you create your DMX lighting storm effect in qlc+? Thanks friend and keep up the amazing videos!
Thanks mate! This is a great idea to break down some of these lighting animations. Definitely taking this on board 👍 Everyone's fixture setup will be unique, but I'm happy to share how I've gone about making mine.
Really appreciate this video! I have some IR lights I'm trying to tie into my stream deck for the game room and this should help getting things moving! Looking forward to trying it out!
Thats awesome, however I would love to see a video or instruction to control the Godox ES45 with the stream deck. I was doing a search and got your video recommended.
Thanks for watching! My first thought was if Godox was a service on IFTTT, then that could be triggered on the streamdeck, but unfortunately it's not there. Next I had a quick test with my godox SL-60w remote trying to get one of the RF blasters to work with it, but I think the ones I have can't do the right frequency. So my last thought is using a smart plug and triggering that off/on which seems to work well, but you don't get to control some of the settings on the light
So years later I'm now trying to do lighting for my game room, I can't find any of the same lights that you use and was wondering if you could maybe renew the links or just make an entirely new video with what you've learned over the last couple years of your lighting set up
Very interesting! I've done something similar, but rather than using focus and hotkeys, I used a MIDI controller. My Elgato will send MIDI commands and it will be fed in QLC+ to change the scene, no need to focus on the app!
@@Atmoseeker 1- You will need an app that will allow midi to be sent through your computer. Think of it like a port, for midi controllers. I used "loopMIDI" and created a port named "streamdeck" 2- Within the streamdeck plugins, install Music - Midi by Trevliga Spel. 3- In Streamdeck, you can use the same calls you did before but, insteal of focus and keypress, use the midi controll. Choose Channel 1, then just select any key. I used 60+. On the midi out port, select the loopMIDI port you created previously. 4- In QLC+ under inputs/outputs, you should see the port you created previously. Make sure it is checked as an input 5- Have your scenes set up with functions and a virtual console, just like in your video. The only thing we will change will be, rather than having a key combination, we use an external input. You can use autodetect and press your key on your streamdeck to have it loaded up by QLC+ Hopefully this was clear and helpful!
Thanks, yeah it's on the cards for a future video. That background is with a 36 inch old tv I found in the trash. I use it as a second monitor to open video files with the streamdeck when I change scenes.
Thanks for watching! There is a video on the way that'll look at that setup, but in short I use the streamdeck to open a local video file in full screen (with the projector/tv set as a second monitor). I use VLC player set as the default media player for video files. If a video is playing in full screen, a newly opened video will open in that existing full screen window. I create some video backgrounds for Patreon members, but a large chunk of what I use can be found in this playlist I've been curating ru-vid.com/group/PLn9FTf3gHbvgc_ys3lhZVPlVpqTTTWQCe
The information and way of explaining is perfect! congratulations! I'm trying to connect some DMX lights to my streamDeck, but I can't install the Focus Windows PLUGIN on my Stream Deck. When I hit the install button, nothing just happens. Do you know why this can happen? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I think that plugin's out of date. But I do have an update on how to get the streamdeck talking to QLC here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WwZ7UMoyug0.html
Thanks! Yeah this is one nut I'm still trying to crack. It's a bit trickier because it uses a dedicated app over Bluetooth, but I'd love to have it on the streamdeck too
@@Atmoseeker Yeah. There is a WiFi option when connecting device. But not sure if that works for the RGB176 or whether that enables it to be controlled over WiFi outside of the app
All of your vids are super inspirational, makes me look forward to having a dedicated room so I can try all these out. On another note, where are those giant trees from? They look amazing, definitely gives more of a giant redwood/lothlorien feel.
Thanks so much! Those trees are an old terrain project you can find on the channel here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--0VrN52icu8.htmlsi=VaitE3MZH2lhi0x-
Hey thanks for watching! Yeah I've heard other folks run into this issue to. I've got a solution in the works, but long story short it uses midi to switch dmx scenes.
Hi there, great Vid! Do you need a bridge for Hue Lights to be controlled via Stream Deck? Or can you connect directly with the bluetooth like with the app?
Hey mate, yeah it looks absent from the plugin store. I'll have to look into a work around. These days however, I've been using midi to control DMX lighting, which has been a lot better. Been meaning to make a quick tutorial
I use a pair of super clamp mounts and a 11" adjustable arm per light so I can clamp it to things. Affiliate links here: geni.us/qhs7VT geni.us/zVOacR2
Do you recommend Philips Hue Play? They are quite small and expensive. I would use them as a ambient light as I don't want to fill my room with any big stands (living room, not a dedicated space).
Yeah they're quite pricey, but easy to set up. If you're in a living space I would more recommend some smart bulbs than hue plays. That way you can pop them in existing sockets or lamps. I use a couple of yeelight brand bulbs that are a bit more affordable, although they'll need IFTTT to change lighting scenes. I'm mostly using the hue plays here because they're more directional
Hey. Thanks for the VIdeo. Could you point me in the direction of using Soundswitch with the StreamDeck + ? They removed the MIDI app that used to speak with Sounsdwitch. Trying to figure out the new method for midi mapping Soundswitch to the stream deck Rather than Keyboard shortcuts, it will accept midi communication
Thanks for watching! I've been primarily using QLC+ and haven't heard about the Soundswitch, looks pretty cool though! Been meaning to make the change to using midi for DMX with the streamdeck so will have to investigate it more. I thought there were still midi plugins on the streamdeck store.
There is a video on the way that'll look at that setup, but in short I use the streamdeck to open a local video file in full screen (with the tv set as a second monitor). I use VLC player set as the default media player for video files. If a video is playing in full screen, a newly opened video will open in that existing full screen window.
Have you run into the problem of losing your mouse cursor on the display screen? I'm trying to find a simple VJ app to output to a tv or projector, but not have my OS see that screen as real estate my mouse can wander into.
From time to time, but not enough to be bothered by it really. The simplest fix I've seen is in the multiple monitors settings, move the second screen from side by side to sit diagonally with the first monitor
Hey sorry to hear that. Yeah that plugin seems to be bugged for me too. I'm guessing because of some streamdeck updates. You can try an alternative plugin like the "Windows Mover & Resizer" by BarRaider to get the window to focus.
Hey thanks for watching! If you wanna control more functions it has to be one of the brands/services that IFTTT supports. You can search the services to see if it's supported.
I often make video background files for my Patrons, but if I use any from that playlist I'll download some 5 min loops and keep them locally. I just can't share those files publicly without permission from the creators.
I have a little question. How do you get the image too pop up on the projector. I have my labtop a monitor now the projector. But my streamdeck 1 does not open full screen... and only opens on my main screen i have to drag it too projector. Helps
For video backgrounds I use VLC player for my default program for opening videos. I'll then already have a video playing in VLC in full screen so when a new video file is opened by the streamdeck it'll open that in the already maximised window. If VLC tries to open a new window, there are settings in VLC to make sure it only has one instance of VLC playing.
Sorry to hear it's not working for you, I'll have to give it a good test to check for myself. I have been working on an alternative to the focus window approach which uses midi signals instead which is proving to be a better approach
