![]() Whilst there are only fifteen buttons, setting up different profiles for each application, or however you want to use it, allows the Stream Deck to control as many functions as you want. I also added buttons to call up my website and WordPress dashboard complete with custom images. The likes of OBS Studio, Mixer, Twitch and Streamlabs OBS are easily controllable via Stream Deck, but I also added buttons for Nvidia’s Shadowplay and even buttons for activating Adobe apps and MS Office. If you don’t like the default icons, you can use the online icon editor, accessed from the app, or insert your own image from a file. Using the software users can set the icon and button label according to its use. But you can also find many more to download into the app with just a few button presses. ![]() The software app comes with a number of button configurations preinstalled for common software packages. The software enables users to customise the buttons to suit their applications. The device relies on the Stream Deck software app, downloadable from the Elgato website for customisation and functionality. Showing just how much I’d thought about the device prior to using it, I was, foolishly, I suppose, somewhat surprised that each of the buttons is a little LCD screen. The Stream Deck features fifteen customisable buttons. For me, the Stream Deck sits just nicely at the bottom of my monitor. It comes with a stand that can be adjusted to the angle that best suits your set-up. ![]() The device is connected to your PC via USB and away you go. My thoughts on this matter changed, considerably, after I started playing about with the little Stream Deck device. The thought of having a box with some extra buttons to perform the same tasks didn’t really do it for me. I primarily used Streamlabs OBS for recording and streaming with the aid of a mobile app to control scenes etc. I’d seen pictures of a Stream Deck, but never used one until Elgato sent one over for me to have a look. It is designed to give streamers and content creators instant access to their software in order to aid the production of professional videos and broadcasts. Elgato’s Stream Deck is a fifteen-button, USB-powered control panel.
