Setup Elgato Stream Deck With OBS Studio Plugins! | Full Beginners Guide

[00:00] assuming you already have one of these

[00:01] guys and if not the link will be in

[00:03] description in order to configure your

[00:04] Elgato stream Deck with your OBS Studio

[00:06] you'll want to download the Elgato

[00:08] Streamlight software if you do so by

[00:10] going to the link in the description or

[00:11] just search for Elgato stream deck

[00:13] software just select whatever product

[00:16] you have so in my case I have the stream

[00:18] decking mini and from here press on

[00:20] download and with the software

[00:22] downloaded it should look kind of like

[00:23] this and the main idea of how this works

[00:26] is that you got your keys here perfect

[00:29] um this is where you will edit all your

[00:31] actions and to the right you got this

[00:33] big menu of all the different actions

[00:36] that you can configure into your stream

[00:37] deck if you scroll down a bit you will

[00:39] directly see here OBS studio so there

[00:41] are a bunch of already pre-made actions

[00:43] for your stream deck that's Elgato

[00:45] provides you in order for you to

[00:47] actually put this on to your stream deck

[00:50] so you can use it it's by holding left

[00:51] click on the one you want and dragging

[00:54] it to the key that you want So Perfect

[00:57] now this key will be as my record action

[01:01] and yeah at the bottom we can change

[01:03] stuff like the title of it if you need a

[01:05] long press or just a simple press on the

[01:08] key for it to take action you can also

[01:10] change the icon of it depending on if

[01:14] you want to if you're not happy with the

[01:16] ones that Elgato offered by default you

[01:19] want to click on this keyboard RGB thing

[01:22] and you want to click on plugins

[01:24] basically just search at the search bar

[01:26] for OBS for example the best one is this

[01:29] one OBS tools however you also got a

[01:31] stream elements plugin for example and

[01:34] yeah you can see you can check out the

[01:35] other ones as well if you want to or you

[01:37] want to click on download and you got

[01:38] all these brand new uh actions that you

[01:41] can put for your stream deck like I

[01:42] can't tell you exactly what you should

[01:44] have it depends on your needs like

[01:47] everyone have different needs in this

[01:48] Society now if you go to the settings to

[01:50] click on ecog wheel and then profiles

[01:52] basically you have different actions on

[01:54] your stream deck depending on what

[01:56] profile you have an example could be one

[01:58] profile for when you're streaming

[02:00] profile for when you're recording and

[02:01] then maybe one for when you're just

[02:03] lousing around watching Netflix like I

[02:05] don't know as accounts you'll be able to

[02:06] connect your account I would suggest

[02:08] doing this in case any of the plugins

[02:09] require this or just just so you can

[02:12] give Elgato your login info and over

[02:14] here at the general settings you'll be

[02:16] able to change some stuff like including

[02:18] the brightness of your keypads and very

[02:21] important that you every once in a while

[02:23] click on check for updates and so you

[02:25] know that your stream deck is healthy

[02:27] the left up around corner over here this

[02:29] is where you will change stuff like

[02:30] selecting what device you want to have

[02:32] on the preview over here and what a

[02:35] profile you want to set so leave a tiny

[02:37] tiny like on this video if anything did

[02:39] help would mean so much questions in the

[02:42] comment section as always out
