Elgato Stream Deck – Custom A 15 Pack of LCD Key with Live Content Create Controller (Authorized Distributor, 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty)

I'm a gadget guy, so I convinced my wife to adopt a gadget as well. Her excitement to find a gadget I didn't own for my birthday made me feel good about her gift to me. I was initially unimpressed but wanted to make my wife feel good about this gift. As a result, I tried out the app. To begin with, the design of this product is excellent except for one obvious Having a cord that is permanently attached will cause you to wear it out if you travel with it. This is a terrible oversight for a well-built product. It should have come with a USB cable A connection via the c port. With its heavy weight and luxurious buttons, it feels like a luxury piece. The site caters to gamers, and I don't play games, so many of the features are geared to them. I did, however. These are some of the capabilities of this device. In the past few weeks, switching between apps, launching files, pulling up websites, and even cutting and pasting repetitive phrases I usually use for correspondence at the call center has already saved me dozens of hours.

I am very impressed with its versatility and the fact that it can be customized so easily. You did a great job, wife! I am so grateful for your Buying one for each of our children was a good idea.

There is no wrong answer to this. As a trainer, I am sending live video training seminars online as often as I can. It is either OBS Studio or a Blackmagic Designs ATEM Mini Pro ISO that I use (if I want to record the separate input streams for converting later to high-quality virtual seminars), and there are a lot of options available. Switching from app to app is not what I want. Then I go from OBS to choose the camera/view, add the lower third key to Powerpoint, and to Zoom to see who is there. There should be a way to hit a button and make the app do the following The changes I need to be able to publish to my audience without breaking my website. There have been many recommendations for the Stream Deck. The main difference is that this is a second keyboard with a few features. There are two small keys on each key ) as if you were pressing multiple buttons at the same time. It is not necessary to act in order to support the supported actions You could be working on one app (the one in focus on your desktop), or in multiple apps at the same time, for example. If you advance to the next slide in one app, such as OBS Studio while in another, The following are examples of Powerpoint presentations. It is possible to find plugins which support virtually any application, for instance there is one for OBS Studio Their desktop software app also supports the Blackmagic Designs ATEM Mini series of video production mixers. Also included is generic HTTP support for GET and POST activities, as well as REST API support. To be more specific, if a desktop or web application can be controlled by an API, then it can be controlled with In fact, you can use the app to control Smart Homes as well. Although I do use it, here is what I have to say about it. In order to program the buttons on your Stream Deck unit, you will need to download an application that runs on your PC (the computer into which the console is plugged). There's an El Gato app for Stream Deck that's functional, but a bit rough around the edges. El Gato provides a separate web app (you go to a website) that you can use to configure button appearance. This is not integrated, but it would be nice if they were. In addition, Bitforce's Companion, a web service that can configure both the Stream Deck and key appearances, is also available. It has the same functionality as both El Gato apps combined in one app. Currently, it does not have the same plug-ins As far as capabilities go. A 16-page book can have as many as 99 pages, so it would fit comfortably in an A4 frame As a result, the button stream deck becomes a 1287-based deck -tapping the buttons does not work (you have to lose 3 buttons per page in order to flip the pages). The Companion plug-in has a variety of capabilities depending on the device As an added feature, specific apps/devices will provide you with feedback (a return code) on an action you have invoked that changes the appearance of a button. The button for the studio camera "scene", the button for the Powerpoint presentation window "scene", and the button for a "scene" in OBS Studio that includes both, can all be programmed to place their view in the Preview slot in OBS and to turn green when clicked. Whenever you press a separate button, a red button appears on the appropriate scene button that pushes the preview into the output (program) window. I like this feature as I can look at the Stream Deck and see the color of the button to see how my audience will be exposed to my broadcasts. need some programming to build a plug-in At the moment, there isn't one available. )

Be aware that power comes with effort. You may need to try a few things before you can program any sophisticated function into these buttons Unfortunately, there is not a lot of documentation and much trial-and-error involved. You can use the following formula if you don't have any technical knowledge For those capable of configuring and operating a PC without assistance, this is not the device for them unless they have a precocious teen gamer, a technical partner, or are willing to hire a neighborhood nerd for a few hours. After you get the hang of it, you can do some powerful things with it once you understand its quirks. In essence, you could control anything that you could with Alexa or a In fact, this device is best suited to apps that are compatible with Stream Deck - A plug supplied by the supplier In addition, for more technologically savvy users, there are plug-ins Companion app for the Android platform is available. A special feature of the book is that- This program is ideal for programmers who want to combine multiple commands into one action, so it can be used by anyone who offers live video streaming, whether that is through Twitch, YouTube, etc. , and such is the main concept behind most of the currently available services. A range of plug-ins is available The other plug-ins are not supported The majority of plug-ins are written by and for software developers who use them to work on their code or monitor the value of their stock options or crypto currencies while they are working. A Hardware-related definition It would be best to deliberately press the buttons all the way down until they are fully depressed. In many cases, a quick click does not initiate an In fact, you need to go back and press the button again when you are in a hurry. If you are using the device frequently, you quickly get used to this. The race of life here is won with slow, steady progress. Therefore, and in light of the nature and condition of the plug-ins that are available, Both the Stream Deck app and the Companion app are still in their infancy, so it feels like the ecosystem is still in its infancy. The work is still While it performs well what it does, you must endure the quirks of the button press, and the supporting applications and plug-ins must be installed in order for it to work properly There are many plug-ins that have the functionality you need and you can figure them out by yourself. To get the most out of it, be prepared to learn how to use it, or else what you buy will sit in a storage bin for a while. Does it seem like a good buy to you? In short, yes. In the event you are a one-time buyer The task of streaming live video requires switching between live video feeds as quickly and correctly as possible. A live stream might be needed by someone that is an online instructor or a producer/director for a church, government agency, or event like a concert, or by a gamer streaming on Twitch or YouTube where live video along with text or other information needs to be controlled easily. The cost of Zoom is overkill if you just use it for meetings. can be cumbersome), or automate repetitive PC tasks, this macro keyboard system is unbeatable. Learning curves can be mastered if you are willing to put forth the effort. It will take me a few weeks to update this review after actually using it in a live In one of two ways happily, or furiously.

The best virtual stream deck I've ever seen. A minimum of 15 key versions is highly recommended.

I bought it so that I could launch desktop applications with a single click and run customized scripts quickly. Having the ability to click a button ensures I can save much more time since I have so many applications open. Windows Explorer is no longer the first thing to open and it is no longer the first thing to minimize. You just have to click one or two times and it's all done. Although this is supposed to be for streamers, since you can map pretty much anything, it really appeals to power users.

It's very obvious that a lot of people are going to buy these for streaming, but really there are a bunch of other things you can do with them. The LCD Macro keys are essentially a set of 15 programmable keys, where you can assign different button press commands, as well as general commands for programs like Spotify, or else even put on things like a timer, or stock/crypto ticker. Even if you don't stream or stream only occasionally, it's more convenient than you might think.

Elgato Stream Deck was already a BOSS piece of gear, so when version 5 was released, it was even better. The app has not been downloaded. You'll be taking your content to the next level with this! You can now access unlimited numbers of copyright free songs and sound effects with your Stream Deck purchase. With those features added to the already incredible functionality, there are no limits. Launch EVERYTHING for your stream at once by programming 1 button. A sound effect can be added. Have you ever wondered how it would look to incorporate the cool green screen wipe transition into You can run those kinds of macros only here, as it is by far the best option! So far, I have encountered no problems with reliability, and I am going to update this review if necessary. The only thing I dislike is that I cannot afford to ADD the XL to my setup rn, LOL (I love buttons!.

The online icon editor is very helpful as well. As I customized this, maker came in handy. The telephone support I received when I hit a small snag was excellent. This is a very powerful customization software, but it's a bit idiosyncratic and focused a lot on gaming and social media. Although I purchased this for the purposes of using it with Zoom, there were no presets for it, but the customization was I highly recommend this book.
