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?
