Setup Steps

You can also visit https://marketplace.elgato.com/ directly from your favorite Web Browser.
2) On the left side of Marketplace click on Stream Deck.
3) This will open the Stream Deck section. Select Plugins.
4) You will be able to search for Plugins at the top of the window, or browse selected Plugins.

Popular, Recent or Alphabetized

6) To preview Plugins, click on the Plugin description.
7) Once you've found the perfect Plugin, click on the Cart icon to add it to your Cart.
If you are already logged into Marketplace, you may also see a Get button. That will bypass the cart process for free Plugins.
If you would prefer to use the Cart to acquire your Plugins, use steps 8 through 11.
8) Many Plugins are free to acquire and download. Place one in your cart.

It will also ask permission to open Stream Deck software.
13) You will be taken back to Stream Deck.
14) You will see a message that the Plugin has been installed.
15) Find the name of the Plugin in the Action List on the right side of Stream Deck.
16) Drag first Action you want to use to a Key.
17) Repeat this as many times as you like, to arrange your Keys on one or more Profiles.
You may want to add a custom Icon to each Key, or adjust each Action in the Property Inspector at the bottom of the window.
18) You can mix and match Actions from many Plugins on the same Profile, or arrange things so that all Actions from each Plugin have their own Profile or Page.
