> Source: [How a Non-Streamer Uses the Stream Deck + XL (Real Setup)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=UiKUZLJLDZQ)

## Summary

The video demonstrates how a non-streaming content creator uses the Elgato Stream Deck and Stream Deck Plus XL to streamline daily tasks like lighting control, audio switching, monitor management, and app launching, emphasizing the device's value beyond live streaming. The creator shares his personalized configuration and highlights how the device serves as a central hub for his workflow.

### Key Points

- **Non-streamer perspective on Stream Decks** [[0:00]] — The creator introduces the Elgato Stream Deck and Stream Deck Plus XL from the viewpoint of a daily content creator, not a streamer.
- **Elgato as prosumer gear** [[0:45]] — Elgato is described as a 'prosumer' brand, balancing professional features with consumer accessibility, used in newsrooms and pro setups.
- **Value depends on content type** [[2:00]] — The utility of Stream Decks hinges on the creator's specific content workflow; not everyone needs such a device, especially those who succeed with minimal gear like an iPhone.
- **Controlling office lights via Stream Deck and Alexa** [[3:13]] — Using Voice Monkey, the Stream Deck triggers Alexa routines to turn lights on/off and change colors without voice commands, integrating with non-Elgato smart lights.
- **Top-left buttons: Light toggles and presets** [[4:37]] — The top-left section includes buttons to toggle all lights on/off, preset lighting positions, and brightness controls for left/right panels.
- **Knobs for brightness and temperature** [[5:34]] — The two dials control brightness and temperature of left and right lights, with stacked functions (press to switch between intensity and warmth).
- **Music stream and mute toggle** [[6:24]] — A button opens a default browser for music streaming; the mute toggle pauses only the music source without affecting other apps like DaVinci Resolve.
- **Monitor management buttons** [[7:12]] — Buttons for extend, PC only, ultrawide, and back monitor allow switching display modes and primary monitor without opening Windows settings.
- **HDR toggle for screenshots** [[7:49]] — A dedicated button toggles HDR on/off in Windows, solving screenshot issues caused by HDR's inconsistent handling in Windows 11 and Microsoft Edge.
- **Ultrawide and back monitor as primary display switches** [[8:31]] — These buttons change which display is primary, useful for recording games on a secondary monitor without adjusting in-game settings.
- **Audio device switching** [[9:24]] — Buttons switch between audio outputs (studio headphones, speakers, gaming headset) without opening Windows audio settings, using fuzzy matching for reliability.
- **System info at a glance** [[11:09]] — Buttons show speed test results, RAM usage, and ping, with configurable test intervals and visual feedback on the Stream Deck screen.
- **Desktop cleanup shortcut** [[11:47]] — A button hides all desktop icons and windows with one push, useful for recording or filming the desktop cleanly.
- **Office on/off via Voice Monkey and Alexa** [[12:02]] — A free Voice Monkey subscription enables the Stream Deck to send commands to Alexa, turning all office lights and plugged devices on/off silently.
- **App shortcuts with open status indicator** [[13:13]] — Buttons open frequently used apps (DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Notion, Steam, Elgato Camera Hub, OBS, Feedly) and display a dot when the app is running.
- **Elgato Camera Hub integration** [[14:01]] — The Stream Deck can control camera settings (refocus, effects, zoom) if using Elgato webcams, though the creator only uses it to open/close the app.
- **YouTube subscriber count display** [[15:23]] — A button shows the creator's subscriber count (e.g., 73.9K), serving as a motivational benchmark, though with limited granularity (4 digits).
- **Window mover presets** [[15:57]] — Buttons snap windows to predefined positions on the ultrawide monitor (left small, middle large, right small, split screen), improving multitasking.
- **Weather and time widgets** [[16:42]] — The last two knobs display current weather and time, adding a desktop-hub feel to the Stream Deck without being essential to workflow.
- **Additional dial stacks for Discord and Spotify** [[17:08]] — Dial stacks allow controlling Discord user volume and Spotify playback, with stacked access via button press to cycle between functions.
- **Marketplace plugins and DaVinci Resolve integration** [[17:54]] — The Elgato marketplace offers plugins like DaVinci Resolve Fast Lane for editing shortcuts, soundboards, and system control, adding advanced functionality.
- **Value extends beyond streaming** [[19:08]] — The creator concludes that Stream Decks are valuable for any content creator needing automation, with increasing benefits for those using multiple Elgato products.

### Conclusion

The Stream Deck Plus XL becomes a central hub for the creator's daily workflow, automating lighting, audio, monitor, and app management. Its value scales with the complexity of one's setup, offering significant time savings for non-streaming creators.

## Transcript

This little thing is an Elgato
Streamdeck and then this big thing is a
Stream Deck plus XL and I'm not a
streamer but I'm someone who has gotten
a lot of use out of both of those over
the years so I thought it'd be
interesting to share a different kind of
perspective on Elgato's Stream Deck gear
outside of the Twitch and Kick and
YouTube live streaming world because
it's something a ton of people don't
really talk that much about. And
depending on your gear and your setup
and the kind of content that you make,
you could get a lot of mileage out of
this stuff too. Now before we get going,
Elgato sent me both of these to check
out and this one came from the Doom the
Dark Ages collab and I bought this cover
to put on it because you can interchange
what the covers actually look like and
then I got the Stream Deck plus XL a
couple of weeks back and I've kind of
baked that into the setup and found
something to do with all the different
buttons and knobs and things that I
never knew that I really needed but
Elgato's always been super interesting
to me going all the way back to when I
first started making content because
they've always had really good gear but
they've always been at that kind of
prosumer level and I think I heard that
term from Harris Heller or somebody a
couple of years back and I've just kind
of stuck with it because it's true. It's
professional consumer stuff. You look at
something like the Stream Deck plus XL
and you could easily see that in a
newsroom or in a live setup and I will
say I know professional people that
actually use Elgato gear in their real
professional world setups. In fact, they
have an entire professional line that
they kind of made just because people
were using it for that. And then you get
down to the audio stuff which Elgato's
been putting a lot of money into over
the past few years like the Wave 3, the
Wave DX XLR mic, the Wave XLR itself
which is a really good interface for
what it is. And all of that gear is good
but it's not necessarily what a
professional audio person would go for
compared to what you might find from
somebody like myself that started off
with a Blue Yeti from 2009 and then just
gradually upgraded through stuff over
time. Elgato makes a ton of great steps
but the trick in finding value in stuff
like the Stream Deck and the Stream Deck
plus XL is in aligning with the kind of
content creator that you are because a
ton of people don't need anything that
I've talked about here so far. We're
living in a time where the most popular
people online are blowing up with
nothing but an iPhone. I I I look at
Case so all the time as somebody who has
driven completely by his personality and
the setup doesn't matter at all. He has
just been killing it with exactly pretty
much what he started with and is doing
great. But, if you want to go for a
higher quality podcast production or
just a set kind of like I've got, then
this kind of stuff can come in handy.
But again, it comes down to what kind of
content you want to make and what kind
of creator you are personally. So, to
talk about the Stream Deck and the
Stream Deck Plus XL properly, we've kind
of got to start off with the kind of
content that I make and that is
short-form content every single day. I
put out at least one video a day if not
two or more depending on what's going
on. But, the content that I make,
whether it's the gaming news, which is
my bread and butter, or the product
reviews, or the game reviews are all
driven by information. And over the
years, I've upgraded the audio and video
gear. I've added a couple of Elgato
Prompters on the middle and right. And
then I've got different speakers and
headsets and headphones. Tons of
different stuff like that. There's a lot
going on here. And a lot of the gear in
my setup, specifically the lights on my
right and left plus the prompter in the
middle and the prompter on the right are
made by Elgato because they do make some
of the best prosumer level content
creator gear that's out there, for sure.
Which is a lot of the reason I find a
ton of value in the Stream Deck and the
Stream Deck Plus XL because a lot of
this Elgato stuff works directly with
both of those devices to kind of make
them one-stop shop hubs. But then, a lot
of the stuff behind me also isn't
actually Elgato gear. Because what a ton
of people don't realize is that I
control all the lights in the office
with my voice and now with the Stream
Deck Plus XL. So, I can say, "Alexa,
turn off the office."
"Alexa, turn on the office."
And now we're back. "Alexa, make the
office red."
Perfect. So, when I'm recording
something about Diablo, immediately
change that, throw some Diablo gameplay
up on the monitor, and I'm good to go.
Maybe some Xbox news drops. "Alexa, make
the office green."
And we're ready to record. And the way
all of that works is that the light bars
on the left, middle, and right are all
connected to Alexa and then down below
the desk, I've got an Amazon plug and
also one on the left. So, everything in
here is basically kind of on the same
circuit if that's the right electrical
terminology. So, having all of that in
the back of the setup also works really
well with the Stream Deck because that
makes this even more of a hub for me to
control every single little thing. And
the other thing that I almost forgot to
mention here is that my monitor
situation is very, very weird. So, like
I said, I've got one prompter here, one
prompter here, an ultra-wide monitor
down below, and then this monitor on the
back that are all routed into the one
computer. So, that's four different
monitors that I kind of have to
manipulate all the time to do different
stuff. Which is another reason why I
love the Stream Deck Plus XL. So, let's
go ahead and get into it. This is the
configuration that I've landed on over
the course of the past couple of weeks,
and I think this is potentially one of
the most convenient and handy ways to
control tons of stuff in my setup
without having to open up a ton of
different windows or click between
programs. These are some really handy
things. So, let's go from left to right.
Up here on the top left, you've got
toggling the lights on and off. So, if I
literally push this button, boom, my
lights go off. If I push this button,
boom, my lights come back on. And then I
can also control those lights with all
of those different buttons down below
and the two knobs. I've got default left
and default right, and these are pretty
much my presets. So, when I sit down in
the morning and I turn on the lights
like we just did, I'll hit both of
these, and boom, my lighting is exactly
the way that I want it to create a kind
of shadow on my face and make a shot
that's a little bit more dynamic. Then
we've got four buttons that were
actually carryovers from the original
Stream Deck when I imported this profile
over onto the Stream Deck Plus XL, which
again is roughly uh double if not triple
the size of this one. I'm not going to
count those real quick, but these
buttons were always super useful because
they pretty much uh increased and
decreased the lighting on the left and
the right respectively. So, this was a
great way to add a little more
brightness if for some reason my ISO was
changed or something like that, and I
needed to record something really
quickly. Super simple way to do that.
But, I've since replaced that with the
knobs that are down there on the left.
Now, the cool thing about the Elgato
software is you can stack things here.
So, right now I've got brightness left.
If I push this, it turns into brightness
right. So, you can see they're both set
at 27 and 3% just like the presets. But,
let's say I'm thinking that my right
needs to be a little brighter. I want a
more even shot. I can then turn that
knob, crank it up, and now it's matching
on 27 on both sides. But now let's say
this looks a little bit washed out
because my right panel is always a
little bit uh colder when it comes to
the temperature of the light. I can then
go over here, toggle this to the right,
and make it a little bit warmer. So,
maybe I want to feel more like that. Or
if I want it colder, I can do stuff like
that. So, you've got so many options
that are just built in here with this
couple of knobs to where you don't have
to go in and tweak software on the fly.
If you're ready to record and you want
to make a slight tweak, this is ready to
go. But going back up to the buttons for
a minute, next to lights turning on,
I've also got a music stream shortcut
that literally just opens up a default
web browser. Super simple thing. And
then also I've got this toggle to mute.
So, this is from Win Tools, a super
handy widget or series of widgets you
can get from the Elgato marketplace
because they've got tons of stuff you
can pick from. If what they have out of
the box isn't going to be enough for
what you want to do. But what I use this
for is if I'm listening while I'm
writing a script, I can hit this button
and it pauses the output for that
specific application. So, instead of
having a pause shortcut, which they have
here built in right out of the box by
default, this actually just turns off
the audio coming out of the source that
I would be using music for, so it
doesn't affect anything else on the
machine like DaVinci Resolve if I'm
editing there, or maybe I'm playing a
video on the back monitor. It doesn't
pause that in the middle of my recording
and then I not know it. So, it's a way
more convenient way to do that. Then
we've got extend and PC only, then
ultra-wide and back monitor. And these
are four of the buttons that I use the
most. And so, what these do is extend
turns on all of the monitors, so I can
manipulate programs and throw a window
up on this prompter, that prompter. I
can use this entire real estate and then
throw something up on the back monitor,
no problem. But if I'm booting up a game
and it's having an issue reading the
monitor, or I want to save some of the
power because driving all of these
different screens can take a lot of
power out of the GPU, I can hit PC only
and then and just does the output on my
main screen and turns off the two
prompters and the monitor back there.
And it looks like these are Windows
display settings, which also happens to
be what HDR toggle is. And this is a
super convenient one for me because if
you're like me and you talk about
current events like gaming news, you're
probably taking a lot of screenshots to
throw in YouTube videos. And if you're
taking a lot of screenshots, depending
on the way that you do it, that can be a
big pain if you're on Windows because
Windows 11 and HDR just do not get
along. So, with screenshots in Microsoft
Edge, for example, which is something I
take a lot of throughout the week,
depending on the website, depending on
the instance, I don't know, it seems
very inconsistent, those HDR screenshots
might look completely outblown. So,
instead, if that happens, having to go
in and toggle HDR off, go back to the
program, take your screenshot, this
button literally does it in the Windows
settings for you without having to open
any kind of Windows at all. But I don't
want to skip over ultrawide and back
monitor because these are two of the
newer additions to my entire little
stack here that I've got on the Stream
Deck, but they're very useful because
these change what your primary display
is at any given time. So, for example, a
couple of weeks back I was recording
Battlefield 6 footage for a previous
session before season 3 dropped, and I
wanted to record in 16 by 9. So, instead
of having to crop down and change the UI
on this big super ultrawide, I was like,
"No problem. I'll just play it back
there on the other monitor and move my
keyboard and mouse back there." When
Battlefield 6 boots up, it automatically
goes to what your primary display is.
So, instead of having to go in, tweak
the settings in Battlefield, try to move
it around, I was just able to push this
button, it boots up back there, I set up
OBS on this main monitor, and I'm good
to go. Then when I'm done recording and
I want to go back and edit my footage
into DaVinci Resolve, I can hit
ultrawide and now this is back to being
my primary display, so my timeline opens
up and we're good to go. Again, no
Windows menus, no display settings, it
just works. But now I want to bounce
back to what's up here next to that mute
button, and this would be my headphone /
audio section. And I've got a ton of
different audio equipment in this setup
right now. I've got a pair of studio
headphones that are going into my Beacon
Studio, which I picked up over the
weekend. Uh then I've got the
SteelSeries Arena 9 speaker system and
then also a SteelSeries Nova Pro Omnis
set of headphones for gaming as well.
And so throughout the week, depending on
what I'm doing, I'm switching back and
forth between those multiple times
throughout the day. I pour a cup of
coffee, get some lo-fi going in the
morning, figure out what I'm going to
make a video on, switch to my studio
headphones to edit the video that I
record, then I go back to the
SteelSeries speakers, then when I get
home from work, potentially I might want
to throw a game on, play some
Battlefield or something, and then I
need a gaming headset. So, I'm going
back and forth. Which is where the audio
device buttons come in, and these kind
of function like toggles. So, right now
I've got it set to my headphones coming
out of the Beacon Studio, and then my
speakers, which are the SteelSeries
Arena 9s. And then this device matching
drop-down right here lets you choose
between an exact match where it's got to
be verbatim exactly what you've picked
or fuzzy. So, if you just have one set
of SteelSeries Arena 9s, if for some
reason the naming scheme changes or the
maybe plug you've got it in changes,
it'll try to find the right match so you
don't have any kind of issues when you
push that button, and it should work all
the time. And 98% of the time it works
for me. That 2% is like whenever I've
changed something, so like whenever I
unplugged the Beacon Studio, it didn't
automatically assign whatever I plugged
in next. So, it's absolutely no problem
with any of the software, it's literally
just a user error, but it's just
something you've kind of got to remember
to go in and do if you change things
around like I do. So, if I'm on the
speakers listening to music, I can hit
that one button, switch to the
headphones, then I can hit the other
button, switch to my gaming headset, and
again, no going into Windows audio
menus, no changing things around, no
going into any kind of weird software.
Like I've been saying, it just kind of
works. Then to the right of that, you've
got three that are honestly kind of
fillers, but they're nice to have at a
glance. So, here we've got a speed test,
and you can set this to do it however
often you would like. So, I've got it
set to every 60 minutes, and you can
have that on your screen at any time.
Then when you push the button, it'll
automatically run one of the tests. So,
you can see right now running a speed
test, and then boom, you've got like a 2
ms response time, 550 down, 950 up,
we're doing great. And next to that,
we've got RAM usage, so if I'm recording
something or playing a game, I can kind
of keep an eye on that. Plus ping, if I
want to make sure that my connection is
really good to the server. So, again,
really nice stuff to have. Not a
necessity at all, but I got to say that
does look pretty cool on the Stream
Deck. And then top right, I've just got
a shortcut set up to clear everything on
the desktop, which is super handy if I'm
filming something on the desk and I've
got a camera coming this way recording
my desktop. I can just get everything
gone without having to minimize all of
the windows and then get them all back
up with the push of a button. Now, let's
make our way down to the middle chunk
with office on and office off. Now, this
is something that I found on Reddit that
I think is super cool. So, I was trying
to find a way to instead of me
controlling the lights with my voice, I
could just have them on my Stream Deck.
So, if I didn't want to make a lot of
noise and I still wanted to have my
lights on, I can push a button and boom,
the entire office turns on. Push it
again, boom, entire office turns off.
The way that this works is that a
service called Voice Monkey can create
prompts that you can then connect to
your Alexa account. So, when you do
that, you can basically kind of feed
Alexa things without actually saying
anything with your own voice. And I'm
sure that I'm turning on everybody's
Echo devices right now. But, I set it to
say the exact same thing I say when I
want to turn the office on. So, instead
of me having to say that out loud, if I
want to turn the office off, I can just
push this button and I think I pushed
the wrong one. I opened DaVinci Resolve.
Oh, no. Trying it one more time, pushing
the office off button, everything in the
office goes off, then pushing it and
turning it back on, boom, everything's
on. No voice control needed at all. Now,
if I wanted to, I could pay for the
premium version of Voice Monkey and add
all the different colors that I would
normally want to have an entire panel
set up just to do that, but feel like
that's a little bit overkill, so I'm
just going to keep the basic Voice
Monkey subscription, which is free. So,
you can just make an account and all of
this stuff just kind of works. Now, like
I mentioned, I accidentally pushed
DaVinci Resolve and you can actually see
that. So, that dot on the DaVinci
Resolve button means that it's open. So,
if I go back and I close that, that dot
should disappear in a minute once the
entire program gets gone. And boom,
DaVinci Resolve has now closed. But,
these are all just shortcuts to some of
the stuff that I use the most every day.
So, like I said, I edit in DaVinci
Resolve. I've got CapCut for my
captions. Then, I'm a big Notion guy, as
well. I make a ton of videos throughout
the week. I've got embargoed stuff that
I know that I can't talk about until a
certain point. And then, I've got some
brand deals that are coming. So, to keep
everything organized all in one go, I
use Notion where I built out this entire
dashboard to keep track of everything
I've got going on. And that plugs into
Notion Calendar, that then plugs into my
Google Calendar, so I can see exactly
what I'm doing on any given day,
potentially two, three, four weeks out.
And that's really nice. I'm sure they've
got tons of other stuff I could do, but
these are just shortcuts to open Notion
and Notion Calendar if I need to get to
things at a glance. Of course, Steam
shortcut. And then, the Elgato Camera
Hub. Now again, this just opens and
closes the application. But, if I did
want to, there are tons of different
things you can throw on here between the
dials and the keys for the Elgato Camera
Hub. And if you want to kind of file
things down, you can just say Camera Hub
and see everything you can do right now.
Now, the Camera Hub could be its own
video. But, if you're somebody who uses
the Elgato 4K webcams or anything like
that, you've got a refocus button, you
can apply an effect, you can add a lot
to your shot, tons of different stuff
you can do in here just at the push of a
button on a Stream Deck. And they've got
even more over here on the dials, too.
And I've thought about using some of
these, but for me, I just use the scroll
wheel on my mouse to go up and down on
the prompter. But, you can adjust the
camera here. You can change the prompter
control, the prompter display if you
want, prompter appearance, prompter
scrolling. So, if you just kind of want
to go back and forth on that with just
one of the dials on the device, you can
do that, too. Tons of different options
here, but I've just got it set to where
it just opens and closes. And then, of
course, OBS, which is what I normally
record in. Although, I am recording in
Meld today, so I might throw Meld on
here, too, and maybe replace this other
button above it, which is Feedly.
Because of the way social media is right
now, especially in the gaming space, I
just set up my own RSS feed with direct
sources to GameSpot and IGN and Game
Informer and Polygon and all the other
different sources that are out there to
try and figure out what's going on
throughout the day without having all
the noise that comes from a lot of
what's going on across all the different
social media platforms. And the last
kind of nice to have button is my
YouTube subscriber count. Now, this is
not the ideal option. I've still kind of
been thinking about getting one of those
subscription counters you can have on
your desktop because I love looking at
numbers. It is not healthy, but I love
looking at numbers. On my key it just
says 73.9, but if you're somebody who's
working your way up, it should be able
to get more granular with just having
four digits available to show on the key
itself. But, for me it's also a nice
benchmark where I can see it go from
73.9 to four tomorrow and then to five
and to six and it kind of feels good to
show that progression even if it's not
as granular as I would personally like
it. And then we've got window mover.
Now, this is super handy for somebody
like myself because depending on what
I'm doing, I might want my screen set up
in a slightly different way. So, I like
having one on my left that's a little
smaller, one on my right that's a little
smaller, and then one big window in the
middle because again the super ultra
wide is super handy for that kind of
thing. So, if I'm on a browser and I
wanted to take up the middle of the
screen, I can push this button and that
window automatically snaps to the middle
of the screen. Or if I want to throw my
YouTube stats up on the right, I can
push this button and boom, it goes over
on a small window on the right without
messing up the other ones on the screen
either. And then these two buttons are
pretty much the same, but they just
split the screen down the middle. Now, I
would like to see a third option added
because what I do when I have DaVinci
Resolve open is that I have one larger
window and then one smaller window on
the side. Did not have that in the
options down here, but yeah, it's okay.
And finally, we've got the last two
knobs. Now, I would consider these to be
kind of filler again like some of the
other shortcut buttons that I've got up
on the top that are nice to have, but by
no means are integral to your workflow
at all. But, as somebody who likes to go
for a run from time to time or might be
going and driving somewhere, seeing the
weather at a glance, being able to see
the time at a glance, it kind of makes
this more of a hub for your desktop
versus just like a utility key panel.
And then over on the right you've just
got the time, but there's so much more
you can do here going into the options
tab because you can throw something like
Spotify on there and actually have it
running, see what song you're listening
to, if you want to throw a user volume
control on here with one friend that's
always coming into Discord way too hot,
you can do that, too. And then you can
stack these things, too. So, if you want
to throw a dial stack on here and you
wanted to go in and actually add, let's
say, Spotify and you wanted to throw the
user volume control on there, then you
would go back out and you can push this
button and toggle between them. So,
you've got Discord control on one,
Spotify on the other. So, you can really
kind of do what you can do with the rest
of the folders on the regular Stream
Deck keys and have more things here than
you would think. Which again, going back
over to the left, is kind of what I did
here where I've got one dial just for
the brightness and one dial just for the
temperature instead of having those two
things take up four different dials and
that's kind of all I could do. Now, this
is just my setup right now and there's
so much more you can do because again,
you can make entire different pages of
stuff. Like you can literally go and
just change everything and have a second
panel that's just as big as this one
with six new dials, all of these
different keys for a totally different
use case. And then going to the Elgato
marketplace, there's even more you can
do over there. And this is where I think
a ton of people that are way more
hardcore than me are going to find a ton
of value in the Stream Deck Pro XL
because you've got stuff like DaVinci
Resolve fast lane that gives you tons of
different options to bake directly into
DaVinci Resolve. So, this can kind of
become like an editing hub for you. And
you see some that we've already talked
about here, too, like the window mover
that we just discussed. They've got Mac
icons if you want to use one of these on
a Mac, different kinds of styles if you
really want to get in here and make this
thing your own. But for me, having owned
the original Stream Deck as well as this
new Stream Deck actually, now that I
think about it, I had the original one
way back in the day. Uh and then the
Stream Deck plus XL plus everything else
they've got in the Elgato stack, the
marketplace is really kind of where
you're getting a ton of value out of it.
Again, you can see screen savers, sound
boards, different plugins, which I think
is really where these things really pop.
Like the control center to control all
of my lights, that's what I use for
that. YouTube stuff, if you're live
streaming there or on Twitch, streamers
get a ton of use out of these. But that
kind of brings me back to the top, the
value in a Stream Deck goes way beyond
streaming for somebody like me that's
just editing stuff throughout the day
and has a lot of automation baked into
their workflow. Now, if you have more
Elgato products, you are inevitably
going to get more value out of just
having a Stream Deck or a Stream Deck
Plus or even the Stream Deck Plus XL,
for sure. But, I'd love to hear it from
you down below. If you're in the Elgato
world, whether it's the original Stream
Deck, which is still supported, or the
new Stream Deck, or the big one, or the
small one, whatever you've got, how are
you going to use it outside of just the
live streaming space? Because I feel
like these things get a lot more mileage
than they're given credit for. And of
course, huge thanks to Elgato for
sending me one of these to check out and
bake into the setup because it is
getting a ton of use, and I'm excited to
continue exploring and trying new stuff
with it and baking it deeper into the
setup as the years go on because so far,
so good. And of course, if you're new
