Note: The Music and SoundFX library on Elgato Marketplace was removed on November 15, 2025. This FAQ covers what that means for your existing content, what you can still use, and where to go if you want to keep using these tracks in the future.
Stream Deck can use a library of thousands of high-quality royalty-free Sound Effects (Sounds) that can be added to keys for instant playback.
This guide will go over how to find, download, install and use such Sounds from Marketplace.
Requirements
- Stream Deck 6.4 or newer
- Marketplace account
