Elgato Stream Deck for Mac is a software package that accompanies a game streaming-oriented hardware accessory that can greatly simplify the way modern streamers interact with their audience, control their production workflow, and interface with various streaming software solutions on their Mac.

Coming in several shapes and forms (all with a different number of hardware shortcut buttons), this hardware accessory enables macOS users to simplify their streaming session with easy access to predefined shortcuts, macros, and controls.

An official Stream Deck for macOS application serves the function of an advanced driver package, with full customization options for all supported versions of hardware accessories – Stream Deck, Stream Deck MK2, Stream Deck Mini, Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck Pedal, and Stream Deck Mobile.

Each key on the Stream Deck for Mac can be associated with a wide array of actions, multi-actions, folders, profiles, icons, and even accounts. The app allows users to precisely configure the functions of each hardware button, with the option to contact not only OS system functions but also call for specific actions from inside a wide variety of popular streaming software solutions such as OBS, StreamLabs, Xsplit, Twitch, Twitter, YouTube, and others.

This includes functions to start or stop stream sessions, change scenes, adjust audio, activate on-screen visual or audio prompts and many other actions that modern streamers use to control their live session status, engage with the community, and more.

The main dashboard features a simple user interface that is separated into three main modules – a listing of the detected hardware buttons on a connected Elgato Stream Deck hardware device, properties listing for each selected button, and an expansive list of actions that are placed on the far-right side of the screen (with a useful Search function on top).

Users can configure each button to their liking, which includes not only the actual function of the button but also the visual icon (shown both within the dashboard and on the hardware device).

Elgato Stream Deck driver application can be downloaded and used for FREE.

What's new in this version:

In-App Marketplace Search:
- Plugins enable new and powerful features for your Stream Deck, and we want to make the experience of finding and quickly using them easier. In Stream Deck 7.1, you can now browse recommended plugins and search for plugins right inside the action list.
- Once you’re signed in with your Marketplace account, installing plugins takes just one click

Refreshed Desktop Icon:
- We’re updating icons across all Elgato apps, and Stream Deck now refined look with color on both Windows and macOS

Profiles save more resources:
- Profiles in Stream Deck are incredibly powerful, making it easy to share complete configurations. However, they’re limited to sharing just the icon and key layout. With Stream Deck 7.0, profiles now tell you which plugins you’ll need when importing a profile, and you can install them with one click. Further improving the workflow, profiles exported with Stream Deck 7.1 now include files such as music that have been configured in an action.

Disable Stream Deck Devices:
- Stream Deck devices can now be disabled in the Stream Deck app. This enables third-party software, such as Bitfocus Buttons and other applications, to communicate directly with Stream Deck devices. At the same time, the Stream Deck app can now remain open to support other Stream Deck hardware, Virtual Stream Deck or Stream Deck Mobile.
- You’ll find the option in Preferences > Devices > Enabled (Yes/No)

NodeJS Sideloading:
- Developers, this one's for you. Stream Deck now automatically downloads and updates only the specific Node.js versions needed by your plugins—reducing the app’s size and ensuring you always have the right tools for your plugins. The version of Node.js required can be configured in your plugin’s manifest file.

Improvements & Bug fixes:
- The Volume Controller plugin is no longer bundled by default. When setting up Stream Deck for the first time, the default profile will notify that the plugin is missing, and you can optionally install it, or not.
- Stream Deck Network Dock firmware can now be updated via the Stream Deck app
- Improvements were made to Smart Profiles and switching when games are running in Borderless Windowed mode. If Smart Profiles do not detect a game you are playing, please get in touch with our support team so we can collect more information.
