Elgato Stream Deck – Multi Actions

Assign as many actions as you want to a single key, and then activate them all with a tap. One by one separated by intervals. Or together, simultaneously.

Example: Start your stream, wait a minute, tweet you are live, welcome your chat, play your intro sequence, and unmute your mic - all with one key press.

Within a Multi Action, you can mix and match as many Actions as you like. 

For example, you could tell Elgato 4K Capture Utility software to do the following:

• Start Recording
• Start Live Commentary

Please Note:  You cannot nest a Multi Action within another Multi Action.
 

Multi Actions - Delays



Delays are quite helpful when constructing Multi Actions.

Go to the Multi Action section of the Actions List, and choose Delay. Drag it to your open Multi Action window.

You can choose as many Delays as you want. They are measured in milliseconds (1/1000 of a second).

For example, you could tell OBS Studio to do the following:

• Start Recording
• Delay for 1 Second (1000 ms)
• Switch to a Scene
• Delay for 1 Second (1000 ms)
• Start Stream
