Stream Deck Plugins All Gamers Should Have 

My favorite button on my stream deck is the END button. At the end of my work day, I press this button and all work windows are closed and apps quit, clearing up space and resources for gaming time.

I pretty much use my stream deck for everything you mentioned but one thing I love using it for is mods! When I am playing on a custom server like FiveM, there are several slash commands that will do several things like call an NPC Tow Truck when my car breaks down, open the mod menu, etc. It starts to become difficult to keep track and remember each of the commands which has been a constant pain. The Stream Deck simplifies all of this by you creating custom buttons for each command and giving them a custom icon of your choosing. This makes entering commands not only super easy and fast, it also gives you a visual representation of all your commands; making it very easy to keep track of them all. So if your playing games with mods or just play games that have commands you frequently use (i.e. Lethal Company) then the Stream Deck is a fun and very useful device to have.

I use my stream deck XL for work. I send a lot of repetitive messages throughout the day, so I have common phrases saved. Press the button and it types the message, sends the message, and moves me on to the next waiting message needing a reply all with the push of 1 button!

I have a XL stream deck that I use for work and play. For work I've used super macro (bar raider) to disconnect and connect to our various VPNs and OKTA websites. (There are about 10). While gaming, I use a super macro toggle button for the RUN command in games..helpful when I have to run across a large map while gaming.

Bought the 15 button one for my 17 year old son! He used it a couple of times! Hasn’t been used in 2 years now

I set it up to run these things: Programming: Run macros, build tasks, SSH login, VSCode commands such as snippets, bookmarks, debug, view logs Gaming: Run macros, issue communication/chat command, send pre-defined chat messages Smart Home: Control smart light bulb, run ITTT commands Music: control Spotify, quick play my favorite playlist Input/output: Control audio input/output, quick mute & preset volume settings Info Panel: Date/time for cities around the world, currency exchange rates, stock price, bitcoin price Screensaver/Gallery: have StreamDeck display my favorite picture

i think there is away to use it in microsoft flight sim 2020

bro said 9gag goddamnit im out

I use mine with HWInfo and monitor system temps, usage, etc. and Spotify control, Playlist, etc. I use my Sound Blaster X4 to switch between speakers and headphones and for audio input from consoles

I already know what I can do with it, but where are the videos that tell you how to program the buttons and do all the functions?

hehe first time I notice a youtuber using their hand to press something while recording/filming .. I guess it's a way to quickly split the video to make editing faster after .. or maybe to scroll the text of what he needs to say .. you know elgato sells pedals as well ? ;p

I wonder how useful it could be for DAWs (music creation) like Ableton. Hmm 🤔

I use mine in Final Fantasy 14 to switch between jobs with keybinds.

For anyone going wow that's cool but I can't afford one. You can do most of this with a 20$ usb 10 key pad off of Amazon and some Google fu

I'd love to see a similar video to this, but with the Go XLR. I've been tempted to get one even though I don't stream for some of those neat audio features.

hardware info is a must to monitor ANY sensor/temps

I use one for shortcuts in all kinds of apps. I just wish I had got the bigger one.

The discord webcam mic is the most real thing. Loved the humour here, thanks for the vid

Stream Deck is great for games with text-based commands. I have mine set up with 2 pages for Roleplay on GTA. One page with general actions, one page with emotes.

HW info CPU GPU FPS monitoring screen shots windows power profiles

I’ve had my stream deck for years but never set it up yet Lol. Gonna change that soon.

Aren't sponsored videos supposed to have a proper disclosure?

The Home Assistant plugin is a better option than the IFTTT, and cheaper if you can get your hands on a razpi or put it in a Docker container if you've got a NAS. I use the LED controls and the smart plugs for a 3D printer that can display power consumption, turn the printer off/on and send scripts to the OctoPrint controller. I also use the Pihole enable/disable plugin for getting to some of those legit things that Pihole blocks for whatever reason. Great video, would love to see a follow up!

Don't you hate it when you get results for Stream Deck instead of Steam Deck, the one you were looking for

I use my Stream Deck as a button box with American Truck Simulator.

Using it to play PC games could be a very nice thing for lefties like me. My WSAD is the 'Arrow Keys' and then anything after that is whatever combination of 'Enter, Shift, Right Crtl', 'Insert, Home etc' cluster and the number pad that I can TRY to make as ergonomic as possible. Hint: It's rarely possible.

I have my cpu & gpu temps on my stream deck thru the Icue plugin, very nice if youre overclocking and dont wanna melt ur parts. Media keys are huge for me, i have a 60% board so its nice to be able to skip and pause my music. If you use spottily def use that plugin so you can pause youtube videos and your music at different times.

been using one for almost a year now for discord rooms, mute and deafen, and audio switcher

can you use it to turn off your phone, man that was distracting AF

It's amazing for blender and unity

I'll get a stream deck the day I can tell it to make coffee and bring it to me...

Use mine the most to quickly switch between headphones and loud speakers.

i just got my hands on a stream deck plus and i have to say the most usable thing for me would be having the mini displays to show my GPU/CPU usage% and temperatures, all those macro and programmable buttons i just have as a button mapped to my G buttons on Logitech keyboard. and sadly those dials arent really supported by elgato plugins, atleast not yet

Interesting,i didn't know you can use this for that much being honest.

Is there a cheaper alternative?

The Windows Mover plug-in doesn't do anything. I'm guessing it doesn't know how to handle multi-monitor setups. I want to take an active window and move it to the edge of a screen. Simple. Looks like this isn't an option. Can't find any documentation for the plug-in on the developer's page. A idea for a worthwhile plug-in would be one that would allow me to push a button and have my work windows open and move/resize to their correct locations. THAT would be huge value. I was hoping this plug-in could do that.

What the hell is with your right hand - showing up and hiding under desk, constantly?

I use it for my smart home I connected my smart light and smart ac to it and in a click of a button my room is as cold as antartica

What is the background he has there that looks kinda cool?

I think I would use all of them except the last one. Since I have Home Assistant running locally, I use the Home Assistant Stream Deck plugin instead of IFTTT. And I plan to get a few more of them (Stream Decks) to expand on what I can do; several will be dedicated to specific applications, such as the Stream Deck + for audio, and one Stream Deck XL for the game Starfield.

Teaching I set up three Mini,Mk2 XL to bring me to my grade 4 google classroom assignments and enter all of this with one push ("Is your name and date on the paper?Is the name or page number of the assignment above the first line on the left? Read the directions carefully Write all of the sentenes. Check for a proper capitalization and punctuation. When finished please turn in the assignment to google classroom.") as well sright to google classroom grades

My main use cases: - Startup/shutdown my work, game and stream environments - Switch between virtual desktops - Switch between scenes in OBS - Lots of actions in Cubase - Cycle through my RGB scenes

RU-vid algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... music loop station, would be really useful for it!!

I didn't decide between Elgato Stream Deck + (w KNOBS) , just 15 Key Stream Deck or Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad. I'm thinking to buy the nob Controller too to make a Combo. Which one you will choose base in your experience?

Have the 15 button streamdeck like the one in this video, I have sounds on my soundboard set up and can hear them through my headphones when I press the button, but nobody else can hear the sounds on discord? What’s the easiest way too fix this? Thank you

Can anyone help share a video of making a custom diy macro keyboard but very similar to this

He hasn't looked away once...

Stream Deck(s) + Flight Sims ✈👍

you could use your stream deck as a num pad.

Elgato, is a very respectable company

I dont know if anyone here can help me but mine powers off if I plug it in on my pc but not on my laptop

I'm afraid to use macros even for texting in-game. Imagine getting banned for THIS? oof

well im not a gamer.. i like sounds effects during a stream when it comes to a topic that lame or funni or exciting like the Vikings " viking horn " im excited to try something new to bring to my streams when i am live

Very cool hat the Stream Deck can do all of this!

Has anyone asked whats he clicking under the desk?

i use it on my sim rig as a butten box / multimedia / audio switcher because i hate keybords on a sim rig

I got one to try to try to change the active monitor to be able to fast switch between my monitor and a tv but am still trying to make it work

There are no screws that attach the back piece, to the ACTUAL stream deck piece. It's unsecure, and the only way to keep it upright on your desk is by a fucking USB made in Taiwan. Waste of Money; will return.

can i put corn on one of them😂

I play left handed and me using my stream deck in place of the left side of my key board would work perfectly for me but I don't know how to set that up

Wish it used usbc to usbc...

Steam Deck + Shuttle Pro v2 for Figma +1000!!

I wonder if you can create new key binds that doesn't exist for, for example, minecraft with a ton of mods added requiring key binds for each of them. I'm using a modpack with so much mods that i don't have enough keys on my keyboard for every controls of each mods. 😅😅

I wonder if I could use this for Warcraft?

Is there any way that there are echo plugins? For our voice?

Use it for helldivers now

There is also awesome coding options especially DCS interface

I wonder what kind of gamer who does not stream would actually even have stream deck! This gotta be sponsored right ? At least mention that its sponsored if it is!

2:06 nah w game, even though it's rated M (not esrb)

finally not another hot news

The controller is dope didnt think of that

It's awesome for video editing

The thing is，it's too expensive😢

Is there any teamspeak plug ins

Can you allocate different buttons to for differnt RU-vid channels?

Thanks for all the great information!!

epoice

Thanks for the macro plugin tip

Yeah, I have my stream deck setup to turn my lights on and off, my fan, and to charge my phone. I also have it setup as a timer. I have it go from 30 seconds, to 17 minutes in 30 second intervals. So when I'm cooking something, and I'm using my headphones, I'll hear the alarm go off in my headset, letting me know to flip something, or that my food is ready. I have it set for my VR, just push one button, and it turns on all my lights, changes the audio to the headset, starts the software, and I'm ready to go. Then when I'm done, it returns everything back the way it was. Voice Monkey is a free skill you can use to control you home devices, and that's how you can trigger them from your stream deck. It's pretty easy to setup, but I would recommend looking up a video on how to do it, makes it very simple to do.

Would you send me one for free ,I would love to get my hands on a steam deck ,it's ab unbelievable price of kit ,😢shame I can't afford it ,you could send me one out of good will ❤

This is 99% epic! But stop with the Fortnite comments, we are not playing that unless there are some 13 year olds in here😅

I'm an engineer I work in a lot of different programs, Solidworks, CREO, OrCad, Altium, fusion. Plus all Google meetings emails etc, audio config. My desk setup changed a few times during covid but my custom corner desk with the tower behind my center screen on my tripple 32in 1440p screens (442cd peek calibrated with a delta of 1.1) all on tripple 3090 TI's on my 5995wx setup with 512GB of ECC memory. Supermicro main board. My setup is not the best

Can it control VLC media player without changing the active window? Because that's the only use case I can think of for me personally.

I have the foot pedals so whenever my boss walks in on me I can make it open up a 3d designing program in under a second. Most useful thing i have

I’m just trying to get this thing for the soundboard

you can make a diy streamdeck that would likely be better

so its whortles for gammers
