Stream Deck

Control the overlay, cameras and results from an Elgato Stream Deck.

Install the plugin

  1. Close the Stream Deck app.
  2. Copy the com.lmu-broadcast-control.streamdeck.sdPlugin folder from the plugins folder in the app's install location to %APPDATA%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\.
  3. Start the Stream Deck app again.

When you update, copy the new folder's contents over the installed one. Don't delete the installed folder first: your keys and their settings belong to it.

The plugin talks to the overlay's control server on localhost:5111, which only runs while Overlay Controls is open. If your keys do nothing, open Broadcast Overlay from the Home screen first.
