Elgato Stream Deck Mini – Control Zoom, Teams, PowerPoint, MS Office and More, Boost Productivity with Seamless Integration for Daily Apps, Set Up Shortcuts Easily, Compatible with Mac and PC

I don't stream but I got this product due to the convince it brings. I use it for daily tasks and it is really useful for particular people and specific use cases. I will outline some of my use cases in detail for people who might want it for the same application. Some of these features have to be enables by enabling the plugins that are extra and not enabled by default.Headphones and Mics:I use it to switch between headphones and microphones. The stream deck is great as it allows you to switch between microphones and playback devices. For example if I want to use one pair of headphones and want to switch my playback to that then i can by setting a key to do that functionality. However if i want to switch back or switch to another pair i can then click a button. But you have switch the mic and the playback separately. So for example say your headphones have a mic in them and you want to use a separate mic you can do that by selecting the mic you want through the stream deck instead of going through all the settings and then changing that one to default. For example you can have Headphone1 Mic and Headphones2 Mic and Webcam Mic as buttons and switch between them. Same situation with headphones. So that makes it really convenient as it changes the default one and then that means software's will automatically change to.Voicemod:This is a cool little extra feature that was added my Elgato to the stream deck and it is for a little fun. As mentioned before you can set a button to change to the voice mod output however it wont change the mic selected on the software you have to change that manually. You can do funny things like change your voice and censor words with a beep button and you can pick random voices but you if you want a particular one you have to buy the pro version. You can also hear yourself and can turn on and off through the elgato stream deck which is really convenient.Zoom:The elgato stream deck can be used in zoom calls and be used for a full list of things that i will list:Mute toggle, Video Toggle, Share Toggle, Focus, Leave Meeting, Cloud Record Toggle, Local record Toggle, Ask all to Unmute, Mute all Participants, Custom Shortcut. This is good for zoom calls an there is not much to add as it works seamlessly.YouTube:You can use it to control YouTube. I don't use it for this however it does allow you to chat a message through a click of a button and you also have another option of viewers. That is all you can do with YouTube as of default.Mute and Unmute:When in any call or meeting you can use the elgato stream deck to mute and unmute and it will work with any program and call because it mutes the mics internally and not through that software so if you are in 2 calls and want to mute on one then you cant through this unless that other one is a zoom call, that is where you can mute using the zoom mute button that is enables through the elgato stream deck.Games:This is useful for games as you can function it to do specific binds or to do things in games instead of binding things to using keyboard binds. It is not built to control games exactly but is useful and you have to find your own use in what games you play and what you want it for. This is too universal to gives any examples on.OBS:Whatever you could image you can do on here. You can change scenes. You can also mute your mic and also desktop audio. There are so many options that there is no limit here and you can do anything you can image through obs. There are YouTube videos that cover all the combinations as it would take too long to cover in a minor review.Twitter:You can tweet a specific tweet on that you have binded to a button and will automatically do that. This is mainly towards streams but you can bind anything you want here really. Also you can change name on here to.System:This is what you would expect that this should be able to do like open a website, hotkey switch, act as a hotkey, open something like a program, type text, and uses as multimedia controller.Spotify:There is a plugin that you can enable that allows you integrate and control Spotify from your stream deck.Lighting:You can control Philips hue with this as there is a plug in that can be enables and controls Philips hue lights and same with corsair icue.Build:The build of the elgato stream deck is great and it does not come with a stand but it does have a rubber button to stop it from being pushed back then being uses however it can be a bit annoying but nothing major. Also when you lock your computer you can keep any screen saver on the stream deck.In conclusion, there are a lot more functions that one can use this for streamers and non streamers.

I'm not a streamer or video maker, I simply use this for quick access to common features.My PC is connected to my TV as it's mostly used for gaming (mostly on a controller), watching video and playing music. Therefore it's ideal when I don't want to have my keyboard on me, this Stream Deck is always accessible at the side of me for features such as game screenshots and saving videos, toggling game performance display, media playback and controls, controlling Hue lights in my room, switching iCue profiles, basic Windows functions, etc.There is a little bit of a learning curve to setting it up with the software, although once you get the hang of it it's much easier to use.Only thing missing is automatic brightness for the little button screens for day and night, although you can easily set buttons on the Deck to change brightness in the software.

It comes in great packaging, ensuring there is no damage. It works great as a soundboard, and creating custom scenes in your live stream. It connects to your computer easily with a USB cable, and is easy to use and setup. It has a great compact design, ensuring you can fit this product anywhere, even in the smallest of spaces.

The stream deck mini is good for doing streaming things as you might expect. The software is really easy to use and intuitive. I had a great time setting it up and found it really cool that it simply worked on startup. Although I used this with a USB hub on my MacBook as it only has USB-C ports which this cannot plug into. Because of this (I assume) the screen flickered and the response was rather slow. Now this may be caused by a combination of me using a USB hub, as well as my MacBook being rather slow, but your mileage may vary.I did have to return the stream deck once as I thought that maybe the flickering and slow response was caused by a hardware issue but it seemed that it was simply just my Mac, so it is probably great to use with a powerful pc or otherwise.Overall, great little product with useful macros but your mileage may vary if you are using a less powerful MacBook like me.

I use this to trade the Betfair exchanges, with this I can quickly instruct my software (betangel) to perform several actions inplay, all in a split second. Made of good materials and feels good to touch. Good software with it. Might buy another.

Great little bit of kit. It may only have 6 buttons, but through the software you can add more 'pages' you can scroll through. I use it to control scenes on OBS for streaming, as well as muting stream mic/discord mic etc.Easy enough to set up, plug in and follow the instructions on how to create what you need from it.
