Just connect the cable to your computer, and you\u2019re set! Here are a few tips to get up and running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Connect the Stream Deck directly to your computer. Do not connect to USB hubs, especially passive ones, as they may not be able to supply both power and data, resulting in connectivity issues.<ul><li>Use the factory-supplied cable! Generic, third-party cables have not been tested and may not work.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Cables longer than one meter (3.2 ft.) are not certified and may cause connectivity problems.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Place your Stream Deck in a spot that is easy to access and where you can clearly read the buttons.<\/li><li>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elgato.com\/us\/en\/s\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elgato Download page<\/a> and download the latest version of Stream Deck.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"Stream-Deck-Firmware-Update\">Stream Deck Firmware Update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Elgato will release firmware updates periodically, often adding new features and fixing issues in the current version. We recommend checking often, particularly if you\u2019re running into issues. Everything is done directly from the Stream Deck software, so no additional file downloads are necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Click the <strong>Gear <\/strong>icon and select \u201c<strong>General<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li><li>Click \u201c<strong>Check for updates<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li><li>If the firmware is out of date, then follow the on-screen instructions.<\/li><li>Do not disconnect the Stream Deck during the update process!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"How-to-Use-the-Stream-Deck-Software\">How to Use the Stream Deck Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2f1\"><strong>Windows PC users<\/strong>: Make sure you launch Stream Deck as Administrator!

It\u2019s a great way to organize your workflow, especially if you\u2019re using your Stream Deck for multiple applications. For example, you can create one profile for Twitch streams, one for DAW control, and another for Photoshop. You can then recall the profile at any time with a single click!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Stream Deck\u2019s default profile will load each time you launch the software. Here\u2019s how to create and select default profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Click \u201c<strong>Profiles<\/strong>,\u201d then click \u201c<strong>New Profile<\/strong>\u201dto create a new profile.<\/li><li>Click \u201c<strong>Profiles<\/strong>,\u201dthen select \u201c<strong>Edit Profiles<\/strong>.\u201d This is where you will manage all your profiles.<ul><li>Right-click a profile to duplicate, delete, rename, export, or back up the profile.<\/li><li>Click \u201c<strong>Make this my default profile<\/strong>\u201dto set a default profile.

So, if you can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for in the software or need something for advanced controls, then head over to the Elgato Marketplace and check out what\u2019s available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Importing and Exporting Custom Profiles - Stream Deck 101\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LTwN1qEa8a0?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Importing and Exporting Custom Profiles \u2013 Stream Deck 101<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"Installing-Plugins\">Installing Plugins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugins are a collection of actions for the application, video game, or streaming service of your choice.
