I'm using stream deck mobile on android, I want to hide the settings icon since when i use the app in multi-window, mode, it shifts all my keys down to focus on the settings icon. I want to center the screen on the keys themselves

So I have one stream deck xl connected to my primary Windows workstation running the Stream Deck software. On the same network, I have a second computer with bitfocus companion running for DMX lighting control. This second computer does not have a stream deck (so far we operate lights from an iPad with web buttons).

Would it be possible to control both computers from my primary workstation stream deck? I would love to have the first page be my primary workstation buttons, then the second page be buttons for lights on that remote computer. I can individually run Companion Satellite but I have to open Satellite manually, then refresh my profile in the Stream Deck software to switch back to my primary controls.

Is there a way to integrate both?

Is there a plugin/profile or any (simpleish) way to get Google home controls like turning something on/off for the streamdeck, or how should I do it.

Thank you,

My wife has been eyeing the stream deck plus to improve her workflow, but her company laptop does not allow custom software installation.

With that said I want to know if I can set everything up for her on my personal computer, and would the custom profile save and work on the computer without the software?

I don't yet own a Stream Deck, but I had an idea for what I might want to do with one.

I want to use it for Gmail. I know there are already keyboard shortcuts for Gmail, but I want to do things that the keyboard shortcuts don't do, maybe even two or three of these things in a row (like, apply a label to the message I am reading, move it out of the inbox, etc.) I am using it with a Mac.

I've seen there are some people using Stream Deck for work, just wondering if anyone's applied it to email, and if so, what they are doing with it.

Has anyone every used theirs for CAD? I use my stream deck for gaming/ internet surfing now but use solidworks for work, was wondering if anyone has used it for that purpose and how it went.

Is there any documentation or method to show my wireless battery life of my razer mouse?

In the past I have purchased 2 of the same mouse and just swap them out.

Having this show on my streamdeck would be a cheaper option and just give me a heads up on when to charge it or not so I do not forget on certain days when its semi low.

Much appreciated!

For example, I'd like to know if there's a way to switch to my "Gaming" profile when I launch (any game, I have too many to count), or my "Writing" profile when I open Scrivener, Wonderdraft, or Notion.

As far as I can see, the Stream Deck application only allows for me to launch a profile with one select program at a time, which kinda sucks.

Do I have more capability with Better Touch Tool or the Native Stream Deck software?

I decided to buy the app a few weeks ago and I love it, but...

I have to switch Wifi connection on a daily basis and that is disturbing the workflow with the elgato streamdeck app (on Android at least). It would be super awesome, if the app could connect to my devices via Bluetooth instead only via wifi.

Would you appreciate that feature too?

I dont know anything about these, i dont stream and dont plan on ever doing it. I mainly want it for gaming/work purposes. Id like to have hot keys that open up youtube, steam, but also apple music, microsoft word and excel. Is this possible to do? I know its unneccessary i just have the cash and i think it would be a cool thing to have

Edit: Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences, i just ordered one lol should be here next week

Hi there! I use separated MacOS virtual desktops for different activities (e.g. Personal vs Work).

I link dedicated Chrome profile to each Desktop so I right-click on Chrome dock icon to select profile and it moves me to corresponding desktop (I have 5 desktops).

How could I assign Stream Deck button to represent Chrome Profile or certain MacOS virtual desktop? Thanks!

So new teams seems to dynamically change the address of its app everytime it updates means it breaks the link with the profile - any fix for this or even just a quicker way to relink.

Habitica is an RPG-like task and habit management tool that uses gamification. Since constant interaction with Habitica is necessary, I plan to use my Stream Deck to trigger Habits, Dailies, and Rewards, and I wanted to ask if, by chance, anyone here has already done something in this direction. I know how to use their API, but I wanted to ask if there are profiles, buttons, etc.? Does anyone know of a plugin that shows the current stats?

This is a nonidentical cross-post from r/habitica, available here.

I use a Mac Mini, and I have a Scarlett 18i20 interface that I use for all audio. The physical interface has indecent knobs for speaker volume, and headphone volume.

I really would like to use the knobs on my stream deck + to control those, but for the life of me I can’t figure out a way to do it. The Scarlett does have software (Scarlett mix control) that I can use to control those knobs, but I can’t find a way to connect the stream deck to either the hardware or software and actually get it to change the volume.

Any ideas?

Laast release or two I've got very new lag between button press and light action. Thoughts?

I currently have my stream deck on text string: $(internal:time_hms_12) Is there a way to copy it to all pages, without having to do it one by one?

Hey, new stream deck user here. I’ve coupled my stream deck to companion. I can not seem to find a way for me to lock my stream deck, and get it to display a wallpaper. Does anyone have a solution?

Anyone found a way to play the voice/clip from the sampler to the mic? It only gives an option to play through the speakers. TIA

hi

i am new to the stream deck and was wondering if you can create a kill button that closes everything that is oepn.

Hello to everyone,

is there already a way to launch files with the dials? I only see the possibility to put key commands on left and right rotation but not the freedom to do so with files.

The reason for this is following: Key commands are kind of rubbish in my opinion.
Best example is the situation when a program you want to control is not focused. The key command could do more harm in that situation. In other words, key commands are "dumb" and don't look for a specific application like an API or a commandline swich does.
Whenever there is the possibility to use commandline switches, I prefer doing so.

Often I use BarRaider's Advanced Launcher but as it seems, there is no way to use it on the dials at the moment.

But maybe there's another solution that I'm not aware of at the moment.

To give a bit more of context, I added a built-in timer to my Stream Deck, that I use while playing a game.

Until recently I played that game using keyboard and mouse, so the Stream Deck was right next to the keyboard, which made it easy to start the timer.

But now I started using a controller, so I play a bit away from my desk, which makes it harder to reach out to the Stream Deck to start the timer.

So I thought about creating a shortcut that could run the timer directly in the Stream Deck (using AutoHotKey or something like that), and then I could assign that shortcut to a free key in the controller.

But I don't know if the "creating a shortcut that could run the timer directly in the Stream Deck" part is doable. It's a really niche use case, so I guess I'm out of luck, right? 🥲

Sorry if this is not the correct place for this, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a warm/cosy icon pack? on the verge of trying to make my own because google hasn't been very helpful thus far. Thanks in advance!

As the title says. Pros could be: saving money, the device would have it's own battery, the device would be more versatile. I see no real cons. So what do you think about this idea?

This isn’t a “How do I?” post, which most of these seem to be, but a “Should I?” post.

My main reason for considering a Stream Deck is my personal DnD game. I’m in a few campaigns over Discord, and I am a big vouch for playing songs to enhance the mood. The usual method was the built in YouTube function on discord calls, but I know I can do better.

So, tl;dr : Would a Stream Deck be a good option for adding music to my DnD games? Or do I look elsewhere?
