Answer
I use the Elgato Stream Deck as the “control center” for my studio so I can focus on talking to the camera instead of clicking around software.
Here are the main ways I leverage it for content creation:
- Scene switching in Ecamm Live (intros, main camera, screen share, guest views)
- Triggering overlays, lower thirds, and sound effects
- Starting/stopping streams and recordings
- Controlling lights and audio (mute, volume, mic changes)
- Launching apps and pulling up links I use during live shows
Is there a specific workflow you’re curious about—live streaming, recording, or editing?
