I Don’t Stream, but the Stream Deck Changed How I Work
1 min read
Summary
The Stream Deck from Elgato is a device that can help improve productivity for anyone, not just content creators, with a series of shortcuts to apps and functions put onto a set of physical buttons, to declutter the desktop and make access simpler and quicker
While it can help give quick access to apps such as Discord or Zoom, it can also deeply integrate with these and other applications, using APIs to allow a variety of commands and functions to be executed
However, the ultimate power of the Stream Deck is in its Multi Action tool, which lets the user create a series of up to 75 different commands to be executed simultaneously, opening apps, making calls, and altering settings on cameras or microphones with a single button press.
With the software always being updated and improved, users continue to gain new functionality and the Stream Deck also works well with various operating systems and has a strong community of users and developers creating new plugins all the time.
