The 5 Streamdeck Plugins YOU Can't Go WITHOUT!

every streamer wants one most streamers have one and unless you're nutty you're probably not using it to its full potential no not even me but I do have five amazing plugins that are gonna make you a stream deck power user yes that's what we're talking about today the stream deck which comes with a magnetic stand before we do however let's be fully transparent I've been using a stream deck Mark 1 for the past two years on my stream and Elgato what's a nice provide me with a stream deck XL completely for free only last week so while this video is hashtag not sponsored I do want to thank Elgato for sending me this beautiful stream deck and we are immediately beginning with a weird one because technically this is not a plug-in for your stream deck it's a plug-in for your OBS but it helps with one of the massive frustrations that can happen for your viewers and using a stream deck makes it much easier to control maybe you remember a situation in which you started a completely new game you boot up the game only to find that your webcam is hiding crucial information to the game from your viewers at that moment you need to be able to move your camera quickly and efficiently and you can do this with the move transition sorry it's now called the move plugin from Excel draw and it does exactly that what this plugin allows me to do is set up positions on the right side and left side of my screen which I can switch my camera between but then I've also added a new feature which allows me to shift my camera left right up and down however I want I can even flip the camera if I don't want to go to preset position to do this we first need to get the move transition plugin from the OBS website when an OBS opened the scene you want to use this on and open the filters menu then just add a move Source filter and call it whatever you want from the source pick whichever Source you want to use for me that's going to be the vertical camera and then scroll down to the transform and click it transform now whenever you turn that filter on it will move your camera to that position then it's on to the filters that make your camera shift a little bit at a time if you want to do this all you need to do is make another filter and we'll call this the shift left filter then we once again select our camera scroll down to transform but instead of clicking get transform we click transform relative as you can see that has completely changed how to coordinates in the transform box look I like to shift by about 10 pixels at a time but if you want to do more or less then you just adjust that how you want to shift left all you need to do is set the x coordinate to -10 if you want to shift right set it to Plus 10. for up we are going to set the y-coordinate to -10 and if you want to go down set the y coordinate to plus 10. if you want to mirror your camera horizontally so you are facing the other direction set your scale X to -1 and if you want to flip upside down pretend you're Australian and all you need to do is set your y scaling to times -1 of course you can do this for every source that you want so I've made it so I can zoom in on my face in the camera box but also set it up to full-blown screen reactions now let's hook it up to your stream deck head into the OBS folder and pick the filter button put a filter as one of your buttons and as the source choose the scene you've just been using then as the filter choose whichever filter you want to use for this button of course you're gonna do this for every single button you've set up and now you too can Shuffle across the screen play with this because the move transition plugin is way more powerful it can do so much more now let me ask you a big question a very big question what if you could host quick and reliable giveaways without any faff all you need is Twitch tools by bar Raider install the plugin and open the menu add the giveaway button to your stream deck and then choose a chat command to enter the giveaway add the name of whatever you are giving away and now you can open the giveaway by simply pressing the button and the best thing you can see how many entries there are to your giveaway on the stream deck once you are ready to draw a winner just press the button again and it will automatically pop someone into your chat to win your giveaway but there is a lot more you can do you can change the messages that are sent to chat if you want reminders and how often you want those and even if there can be more than one winner you can also set it up to Output all the winners straight into a text file so you don't forget who won at the end of your stream in closing the giveaway is just as easy you just need to long press the button and it immediately closes it on top of that this plugin allows for much more than just the giveaways you can automatically VIP timeout or ban someone in your chat you can also make a folder with your favorite live streamers or people that you want to raid and then you can see when they are live and raid them with a single press of the button you should definitely go check it out and see what you can make for your channel right after I tell you how you can hack your way to a go XLR with nothing but your stream deck well almost of course you won't be getting an XLR microphone but with just two plugins you have literally every other functionality first off we have volume controller which is a plugin that allows you to control the volume of every program you use you can see it right here I can control the volume of my Chrome VLC voice mod dicksper and Spotify all from my stream deck to set this up open your volume controller menu and grab a manual detection node then select the application you want to use in our case we'll be trying it out with Google Chrome and then click adjust set the adjust slider to plus 5 you see that automatically the slider on the stream deck turns into the top half of a fader now to complete the fader we just copy and paste and on the bottom one we set the fader to minus five percent and now you can simply click each of the buttons to keep your volume in check the last thing I like to do is to paste it again right above the slider and set it to mute that makes life easy because you can now mute The Source by pressing the button and unmute it by pressing it again not just that you now also know what your fader is for and if it's grayed out then that program is not outputting any sound but we can do more because the go XLR has one more feature that we need to address this sound pad install the soundtech plugin and drag two buttons onto your stream deck the first is your sampler button set your capture device to the microphone that you want to use and now you can record a sample by just holding down the button hi my name is Barry Epps and this is content Delta hi my name is Barry Epps and this is content Delta and if you're not happy with the sample all you need to do is clear the sample and you can record it again to do this just drag a clear sampler button onto your stream deck press the clear sampler and click the sampler that you want to delete now your sampler is empty and you can record it again echo echo echo echo and there you go you've now hacked your way halfway to a go XLR if you're looking at getting your own streamed extreme deck XL or stream deck plus then I have left links to them in the description below and when you choose to buy it through that link you are supporting the channel they are affiliate links so thank you okay time for the next one and really no list like this can be complete without it it is the windows mover it's really simple but it's quality of life on overdrive do you have that problem where you start your stream and every time you started you have to drag your windows from one side to another and resize them and well now you can just grab a Windows resizer node and put your window in the exact right position and record where it is now if you put that in a multi-action what you get is it's a stupid little Time Saver but I absolutely love it okay fine you're not satisfied with that uh I understand it's just a silly the plugin you want more stream deck functionality well what about this your stream deck can literally do anything you want it can technically even make you coffee if there is ever something that your stream deck can't do with plugins and you want a button for it then all you need to do is make a hotkey plus you don't even have to use your actual keys for it back in the olden days of yore where computers filled rooms and 32 kilobytes of ram was a lot keyboards used to have 24 function buttons instead of 12 which we see today those buttons your PC still recognizes even if they are not physically available anymore add shift control and Altus modifiers and that puts you over 80 extra keys to put hotkeys on and all you have to do is go into the system menu on your stream deck and place a hotkey button set it whatever you want from the hotkey menu for example f24 and if you hold Ctrl it will automatically add that modifier go to whatever program you are looking to use it on say OBS and go into the hotkeys tab in the settings menu and let's say that I wanted to start vertical recording when I press that hotkey now all I need to do is click the line press the hotkey on my stream deck and boom done although if you do wanted to make coffee you might need to write your own app for that that is why a stream deck is something everybody should consider even if it's just the virtual one you get a few free pages and that sort of stuff and did you know that streamerbot also has a stream deck plugin so you can even do something like this do a barrel roll check out how to set up the barrel roll and make it a channel Point Redemption on your channel using streamer.bot right here thank you again Elgato for providing the stream deck XL for this video and as always stream better stream smart
