    The text feature can be used if you are in a webinar as a host and want to welcome guests without having to type each message. Also good for timed messages withing meetings and webinars. When I am teaching, this is a great way to keep the flow of information going while taking care of administrative details.

    Hi Mathew! Great video...I will be using the text button quite a bit. When in sales I have a set of responses that I just copy and paste depending on what part of the ladder my lead or client is on. It's super convenient to just hit a button and give my client a generated response that I've predesigned for most scenarios. I have at the moment 10 answers ready to go at any given moment.

    Excellent presentation and it's really nice for you to point out that you aren't sponsored. I understand why people take sponsorships but a lot of it can be a little deceptive when they are talking about how great a product is. I started streaming 😂 I do a KZread show its politics and I obviously wanted to move to streaming but needed a better desktop because I was essentially editing videos on my school laptop 😂 So I've been streaming and I'm definitely realizing I'm having a problem with chewing things up and having the ability to make a joke or say something and then queue up a video or a sound referring to that, you know what the hell I'm talking about. This seems like this would really help with that

It will also help me access other sites while the streams are live, so I can get important information to those that need it. You explained everything so well!

    I can see this thing being useful for my day-to-day computer use even though I only stream casually and very occasionally so I'm gonna get it! I can already think of endless ways I could use this! E.g. for the hotkey switch where you said you can't think of what anyone could do with it, that can be useful if you are copy/pasting a lot of stuff and just have one button which alternates between CTRL+C > CTRL+V (a dumb example but shows how useful even a feature like that can be). Honestly after watching this video I'm convinced this is an essential gadget that everyone should have on their desks for productivity and efficiency!

    Thanks for the basic tutorial! I’m still thinking about buying one, for the purposes of D&D audio. But I have a question, which might need its own tutorial video. I would like to be able to have Music and SFX. If I click a file I’ve deemed Music, I would like to fade out of current music, start the new music, and have it play on loop. If I click a file I’ve labeled SFX (with or without looping), the music will still play uninterrupted, and the SFX will play (once or until manually paused). Multiple SFX can be running at once, such as a looping ‘fire popping’ and a short one time ‘screaming child’ (Pyromaniac Sorcerer, don’t ask).

    One of the best videos about stream deck! If you allow me 2 questions please, this is all new for me Q1: Can i install the app and configure it while i wait to arrive? I would like to do some work ahead of time Q2: If i change from PC to Mac, can i use the same stream deck or i need to "reset it" and start setting up like if it was new? Thanks in advance and sorry for my English; i'm still learning Have a Productive and Healthy Day!
