Stream Deck

Switch scenes and trigger widgets from an Elgato Stream Deck with the PX Studio plugin.

View as Markdown

The PX Studio plugin puts your overlay on Stream Deck keys: switch scenes, test alerts, spin the wheel, fire confetti. It runs on macOS and Windows with Stream Deck 7.1 or newer.

  1. In PX Studio, open Settings → Stream Deck and click Download PX Studio plugin. Open the file and confirm the install in the Stream Deck app.

  2. In the Stream Deck app, drag PX Studio → Overlay action onto a key.

  3. Click Connect PX Studio. Your browser opens PX Studio. Check that the code matches the one in Stream Deck and click Connect Stream Deck.

  4. Choose the Overlay and the Widget or scene the key should control. The key title fills in by itself.

  5. Click Try it now to check it. It runs on your live overlay.

You connect once per computer. Every PX Studio key you add after that is ready to set up right away.

What the key tells you

A green check means the press worked. If something needs your attention, the key shows a short word with a warning sign and the key settings explain it:

  • Connect: this Stream Deck is not connected or was signed out. Click Connect PX Studio again.
  • Set up: the key has nothing to do yet. Pick an overlay and a widget or scene.
  • Missing: the widget or overlay on this key was deleted. Pick another one.
  • Offline: PX Studio cannot be reached. Check your internet connection.
