📌 Overhauled Icons
Icons for many built-in actions and Elgato plugins have received a fresh coat of paint. Additionally, stylized faders — spanning two keys that display current levels — have been added for Camera Hub and Wave Link.
🎞️ OBS Studio plugin update 2.2
Stream Deck 6.1 includes a new OBS Studio plugin that's chock-full of new features, listed below.
🔈 Control OBS Studio volume with dials
Adjust your OBS audio source volume, now using Stream Deck + dials. If you have the OBS Studio plugin already installed, you'll find the new action under Dials.
🔊 Expanded Volume control with keys
In addition to controlling volume with dials, you can now control source volume with keys.
- Set Volume: Tap the key to set the source volume to a preset volume
- Adjust Volume: Tap the key to increase or decrease the source volume based on the selected step size. Set up two keys to create virtual faders.
- Mute now includes new modes — Push-to-Talk and Push-To-Mute.
⏱️ Media Source Time Counter
The Media Source Control action now includes options to show media source playback time.
- Show nothing
- Show count up
- Show count down
Note: To display count up or down, the property inspector's title field must be empty.
🆕 Virtual Camera Action
Toggle the virtual camera on or off. That's it. Simple yet effective.
🆕Profile Action
Quickly switch between streaming and recording, or different resolution, frame rate, and destination presets. This action will change the active profile to the selected profile.
This action works when no encoding is active (streaming, recording ,or virtual camera)
📌 General Improvements:
The Source Visibility action will now update the icon based on the source type to make actions more glanceable.
Actions like Source visibility, Filter, Scene, and others automatically apply the selected item name to the key.
- To use your own title and stop auto naming, simply enter your own text in the title field
- To display nothing on the key, enter a single space in the title
Actions where an item can be selected — such as scene, source, profile, etc. — now track when the item is renamed
Transition and Preview to Program have been renamed to align with their functionality and name in OBS.
- Transition -> Scene Transition
- Preview To Program -> Transition
💜 Twitch Plugin 1.8 Update
Shield mode is now available as an action. Once set up, tap the key to instantly turn on shield mode in the event of a hate raid.
The Stream Marker action now lets you enter a description. These appear in the Twitch VOD timeline. Create multiple marker actions for different moments to easily find them after your stream is done.
💻 Native Apple Silicon Support
It's here — Stream Deck is now a native Apple Silicon binary and optimized for M1/M2 Macs.
✅ Disable Multi Action Green Check
Added a checkbox in Preferences to disable the green checkmark for Multi Actions.
With this option disabled, nothing will be shown on the key when executing a Multi Action.
🎨 Animated WEBP Support
Action icons now support animated webp images alongside GIFs. Animated webp files are higher quality and use less CPU.
📃 Streamlined Actions List
Some actions are now grouped in categories for easier discoverability.
- Multi Action
- Navigation
🛠️ Performance improvements & bug fixes
- Added a link to help articles in Settings>General.
- Moved device-related preferences into a new Settings>Devices tab.
- The account login verification page has been beautifully redesigned, and includes a new button to take you right back to Stream Deck after logging in.
- (Windows) Dragging a shortcut onto a key now properly applies the shortcut icon to the key.
- Squished a bug where the profile backup included the file extension twice.
- Whacked another bug where, when setting an icon from the Icon Library, the off state would appear empty. The dimmed icon is now visible.
- Windows High DPI support: By updating the core of Stream Deck, we've introduced high-DPI support that keeps Stream Deck looking razor-sharp and perfectly scaled on high-resolution displays.
- When dragging an action around, you will now see it under the mouse cursor.
