What's new in Stream Deck 8.0 Beta?
Ideas
Ideas is a new tab of ready-made Stream Deck actions, from controlling Spotify to managing your Discord calls. Just select Spotify, then watch as Stream Deck installs the plugin and fills your keys with play and pause, track skipping, volume and Liked Songs.
Upgraded MCP Integration
Connect your AI agent you already use through MCP, and it can now add actions to your Stream Deck canvas and configure them. MCP has its own tab in Preferences, with one-click setup for popular AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and more, plus an option to run a local HTTP server. Most Elgato plugins already support this, and Makers can add it to theirs.
