Most companies would probably try to exaggerate just how much everyone absolutely needs their products. Elgato comes along and goes "You don't need a stream deck, but it is a helpful little tool" I have some mad respect for that.

I like how this guy covers his company's product like a content creator would.

“Alt Tabbing” to switch stream scenes... I felt that...

Hi, I'm here for my Steam Deck reservation.

Just got my 32 key Deck. And blown away with it. I need a tutorial on the Multi Function setup. I don't truly grasp how to set that up.

He’s so good at explaining..

I really like this video, you are not telling me how much I need this, you are directly and honestly answering my question. I love how you speak as though you are just a streamer reviewing this and not an employee of the company. Thank you!

I just got this and I was blown. I am very proud of Elgato for doing this.

I am going to need to know how to do these things. KZfaq tutorials? The 30second record and edit / upload. The 15 second instant replay. Omg i’m buying this

Its not just my stream controller, its my computer/room controller. I use it to open programs turn on lights etc but now I'm working from home I even have actions set up for work purposes. 10/10 would recommend.

You always make amazing videos. Always to-the-point and super helpful!

I bought 3 of these. One for my son, which he uses to quickly set intro/outro vids for his game recordings. One for me personally, which i use for games like EVE Online (best controller ever for quickly changing ships and setting up new actions for that ship). And one for my office laptop, which i use to quickly pull up vendor sites, make auto replies and e-mails, auto-transactions, and open other office programs and have them already ready for what I usually need them for. I also set up a scheme for controlling Personus Studio One 4 Pro, because I do multi-channel audio editing for bands on the side. Best tool ever! :-)

Fantastic video. I’ve been watching other streamers and I kept hearing about Streamdeck, and not quite understanding what all the hype was about? Now I get it and I’m super excited to start using one myself. Thanks for sharing!

Appreciate you taking the time to make this video. For an intro it helped me want to learn more.

Excellent Tutorial! I just got my first one and can not wait to master it!

It would be nice if we could save our custom stream deck buttons and share them with others or post them on the Stream Deck Creator for others to use...Just a thought>

BRILLIANT DESCRIPTIONS and REAL WORLD EXAMPLES!!!! 6:12 This description has just SOLD me!! LOVE the AUTOMATION with MultiActions YOU are describing!!! I could also use and iPad and your apps for this BUT I LOVE tactile buttons just like on your physical Stream Decks. Thanks buddy!!

This is awesome. Thank you for the thorough overview.

I use mine to control a very simple yet efficient way to add text scores, timers and graphic overlays to Rugby Games that I record live and add the information as overlays which is then ouput to screens in the club. Certain keys will drop in a graphic layer that I created in Photoshop and has been assigned to display or not. It works like a charm. It also looks the business when all setup. The supporters love it and we are to my knowledge the only amatuer club that does this live in our league.

“Dependable” is tough to say it about it for me a lot of times some buttons don’t work until I reopen the software

wow i never really knew it had the multi function ive just recently been considering getting one so im watching this and to see that with one button it can pretty much shoot off a tweet,launch all the programs you need and run whatever else youve linked to that multi function is nothing short of awesome and handy!

What it cannot do ? that's the right question ... I LOVE IT

I do hope direct integration with Discord is coming.

nice work just got it for my twitch stream as well ! thank you!

thank you so much! Awesome job explaining what we can do with it. I am buying one Lord willing!

I'm disabled, with limited use of my hands. I use my stream deck to do key combos and gaming keystrokes. It's a lifesaver.

I really wish u guys do some in-depth tutorials for the multiactions like that "save gameplay - render in vegas - upload to twitter" - thingy. ^^

Great 👍 video thanks for this it really helped I just picked up a stream deck yesterday and I just learned about it a few days ago (“ Excited about the creativity that’s about to happen (“

Just bought one a few minutes ago, can't wait to use it

I like that he doesn't try to BS that it is this indispensable thing, but a really cool tool, good job.

Long Time i thought nobody needs a fkn Stream deck, the more i work with it the better it gets. The Hotkeys just function as they should and the little dynamic icon helps to keep a Overview ofter the Status of a App without having the Window active on the Monitor!

Best Explanation,.. couldnt have been explained any better than this. I'M SOLD!

Woooow, shure seems like a very COOL tool for my Digital projects!!! THANKS : )

I use mine for graphic design. Saves so much time!

I love my stream deck and honestly dont know what i would do with out it now it saves so much time on so many different things and also helps quick actions while i'm live

This really helped me thank you so much! I and going to order one someday :)

It really helped I’m gonna buy it.

Got my MK2 streamdeck arriving tomorrow cannot wait!!

I just bought mine. I work for a video game company and it's gonna help me a lot with multi tasking.

Thnx for this video it really helpt me out

Thank you for explaining this awesome device!

Amazing product thanks!

Got a Stream Deck for my birthday. Only wish I had gotten it five years ago. Great tech product and great gift.

This guy us soo good at explaining. And now I'm about 2 buy the 32 key

Sold. I’m getting one for sure

Looking forward to using this in my streams

thank you for providing me a break down!

we need more tutorials like this and deepers explanations with examples.... This video is so cool, I have been looking at Elgato devices for a few months and it was a very confusing theme to know if this device would be helpfull to my streamings (because I make webinars, I dont stream gameplays), but in this video I saw some examples that absolutely is a YES. I need this device. But I have a question, it works with zoom cloud meetings as good as it runs with twitch, OBS or other streaming platforms?

Thanks for sharing very helpful 💯🤝

Ok this is amazin. Reminds me of the first time I learned a little bit of Action Script , but a lot easier.

It’s nice when a company that produces its own lights , still allows functionality with other brands . Apple and Nintendo could take notes on that lol

Cant wait to use a stream deck on a steam deck

I'm 100% not interested in ever streaming BUT these have so much functions that i could think of a lot of ways to use it! seriously considering one mostly to prevent me having to back out of games to do stuff.

looks very good, thinking to buy it

Really is a great product! Other types of Switchers like this on old analog gear would've cost a fortune!

"The possibilities are endless" Absolutely. I've seen stream decks in uni classrooms, used for Zoom meetings

Ahh okay okay, I'm sold! I really wanna get one!

Dude this is so cool

There's such a big emphasis on the gaming side here - and I get it. Although I feel I know I can use this, which there was a video that covered how this could improve say - the online webinar broadcast. Like having animated transitions between presenters, like real TV etc... Anyhow, thx for the info!

i wish everyone can be as cool as this guy on youtube

Use my Streamdeck XL as a button box for iRacing to control different in car functions and set pit stop changes.

I just got a brand-new Stream Deck Mini for Christmas and so far, it's great. It's an easy, simple software to get used to. My only question/ thing I have been stuck on is how to app a to the buttons such as Minecraft and other apps that are not websites.

just bought the 15 key version, get it beginning of next month, looking forward to it.

Thank you so much for this info! I've had mines for years but I haven't been using it to it's potential and there were some great ideas !

Once you go Deck you never go back lol In all seriousness, stream deck is one of the most useful pieces of tech you can get. All you need is imagination on how to implement it. I need to get one soon. P.S. One of the things missing in the whole elgato setup is an update for the game capture software to allow vst plugins. That would be amazing if you guys made it happen and it would solve so many routing issues when having real time audio processing. I don´t know on mac but on windows, when using ASIO its a pain to make it work.

This is good! I would like one so bad! Being a couch streamer this is a must!!! Need one asap!

I want one of these so bad I just started streaming on KZfaq a couple of weeks ago.

Can you post a tutorial on how you were able to make a multiaction into fully editing a video?! Please! Thank you!

With some changes to the form factor, or rear mounting brackets, this would also be a godsend for simulation gaming or as a more multi-function multimedia control panel. The software is already there to support all of these things, the hardware just needs some QOL for alternative mounting options. Hell, you could set it up as a midi controller.

I use mine all of the time. Please fix the latest update. I installed it and it made the Stream Deck completely useless. All of the icons on the keys were gone and pressing them did nothing and also, the software would not even open after the update. Had to uninstall the software, redownload it and reinstall after manually deleting the leftover files after the uninstall and it installed just fine. You guys make awesome products and I'm sure this will get fixed quickly. Just wanted to share this in case anyone else has experienced similar issues after installing the latest update.

My best investment of 2021 !

The wink sold me

i just ordered one =)

This is with out a dought the best investment anyone can make for their computer period. This thing ROCKS, you can literally do anything with it, I think it even makes bread, who knows!

I’m definitely getting one

my favorite action is the slow motion instant replay. it avoid me the tedious work of editing, but accomplishing that withing obs was a whole week of understanding. i was about to give up when i found the way to do it. and i will probably produce one tutorial or two about it.

Great explanation, take my money!

this stream deck seems awesome I was considering getting one before watching this Vid but now I feel like I need one.

This is soooo cool 😍

Never thought i needed one until I got the Streamdeck Xl on sale. Its worth it. My advice -If you can, buy the XL. For additional $60, Those additional 17 keys make a huge difference.

Does streamdeck work for youtube live streams or instagram the same way it works for games?

I'm sold!

I’m really interested in the Sony Vegas short cut that uploads to Twitter ! (I use adobe but I’m sure it would work the same.) is there a tutorial ?

i need to figure out how to do the Sony Vegas trick, that's so useful

Your stream deck even gets used in online sim racing as a button box...and it's pretty sweet IMHO! :-)

that multi function, function is sick

thx very epic

Great video thanks. What Mic are you using? It’s sounds great

My Elgato Stream deck arrives Tomorrow :)

I really would love to get advice from this guy in a live chat.

I wish you would make integrations with MS office -package. I bought Strem deck to be used in everyday office work. It's helpful there too. For example for accounting I have first and last day of each month as a key. And in Excel I made a button that adds new row and copies there infromation from the row above.

Pretty cool instant replay function

For the longest time, I had no idea what it does and no one gave me a definition of it. It’s basically having a small minion that helps you with programs while streaming

3:12 this sold me (i currently do this with a python script, but pressing a single tangible button, 10x better).

Will be back to watch the whole vid latter

so I started running TTRPG's on roll20, currently have a few games I run and I just ordered my own stream deck to help run the game or activate the macros. Can also see myself setting up buttons for various games as well ( I don't see myself streaming really)

Thank god they partnered with voicemod 🙏🙏

I really want one of these, but I have no real use for it, and would only use it as a soundboard to mess with people in games and on phonecalls, lol. Probably better that I hold off. Really cool idea though, and great review.

Dude, I didnt know how bad I needed one of these.

How do you do that multi use?!? I would like to take a 15 sec clip and upload it to socials!
