The final button on this row is a mute / unmute button for my sound mixer feed in OBS. The button lights up when the OBS scene is active, and is dim (as seen in this image) when inactive. The next button is my ‘Title Card’ that you almost NEVER see on stream, and its a scene in OBS that just has the name of my show. The next button, “Stop Streaming” does just the opposite of this button, resetting my Twitter name and stopping the stream process from OBS. I added a 500ms delay between each step just to ensure that the automation completes properly and because I’m a little paranoid. Previously, I had these actions on other buttons… but now I no longer need that because I can send the Twitter message to announce my stream, change my profile name, and start the OBS stream all on one button. This is one button, but can trigger the actions of any other button. I’m just recently started using Multi-Actions, and the automation here is amazing. Let’s take a look at some of the buttons that I have configured. The answer too all of these questions is simple: I use the Stream Deck. The top questions that I have been getting recently have been: How’d you do that so quickly? You changed your Twitter name and started your stream all at the same time, how does that work? Your stream looks so good, what is your secret. Let’s automate ALL of those repetitive tasks and wire them up to a Stream Deck button so that everything is a button-press away and I can stay focused on the stream. When I need to change scenes, play music, activate or deactivate microphones, or drop in the goofy sound effect, I just don’t want to use my mouse to locate the right application and interact with it. I want to be able to focus on my chat room and writing code.

The device communicates with an application that runs on Mac or Windows and automates interaction with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), XSplit, plays sounds, launches applications, sends key strokes, and interacts with services like Twitter, Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube.įor running my stream, its invaluable. The Stream Deck is a small programmable external keyboard with LCD buttons that comes with an initial configuration to help live-video streamers run their shows without having to change applications, type, or move their mouse. In this post, I’ll give you the quick run-down about what the Stream Deck is, why it’s so important, and some of the tricks that I’ve configured. Its my MUST have device when I stream, and I bring it everywhere on the road with me to simplify my process. Now, I can’t speak more highly of the effectiveness and placement of this device in my arsenal of tools as a streamer. I’ve been excited to use the Elgato Stream Deck for about a year now, after much encouragement from other streamers to check it out.
