Almost all creators on Twitch are using a stream deck to make their job easier. It is a button panel that acts as a controller.
Each button is a direct access to a program or action that you need to perform on your computer instantly.
It is tremendously useful for making a live broadcast, because it allows you to carry out actions such as launching GIFs, clips or music to thank your subscribers, activating the entrance and exit curtains of your channel, or quickly raising and lowering the volume , and thus prevent your viewers from getting bored and losing attention.
It is a hardware that years ago only television production companies could afford. Today, it is accessible to the average user.
With the push of a button, you can activate functions necessary for live broadcasting such as:
Each button can translate to a function or be a folder of functions (or a folder of folders), which will make its functionality unlimited. For example, you can program a button to open your video editing functions, and when pressed, the entire button panel becomes a controller for actions such as opening the editing software, saving the image, increasing the contrast, lowering the brightness. , etc.
The stream deck is fully customizable so it will be useful to you, whether you are dedicated to broadcasting live shows, or if you use the computer for a multitude of functions, or want to introduce the elderly or children to the use of computer applications in the simplest way for them.
Not only the functions are customizable, but also the icons that you see on each illuminated button can be modified to your liking, with colors, images and text.
It allows you to establish different profiles, so you can share it with someone else by saving your personalized configuration, different from that of your partner.
