Elgato Stream Deck Mobile

Yeah, so if you thought “hey a stream deck free alternative, nice!” Then uh, think again. You gotta pay 3$ a month for this (yeah 3 day free trial ig that’s ok). Now, I ain’t saying it’s trash and completely worthless and don’t waste your time on it. Maybe you don’t want to carry a stream deck with you. Let’s say you want to go down to Starbucks and do some work, but really need the benefits of the stream deck. This provides a really portable alternative since you’re always carrying your phone with you. That’s why I give this 3 stars. but I think a good idea would be the addition of a one time purchase option for maybe around 40$ so you don’t have to worry about the subscription.

I’ve used the 15 key stream deck for about 2 years to teach a class at a University. I used to haul an impressive amount of equipment around with me, but lately I’ve looked to streamline. My laptop of choice is now a MacBook Air, and I traded a big microphone for a few cables I can use to hook into the University’s audio system. I love my stream deck but when I saw the app, that’s one more thing to not have to carry around. I just use my phone, which of course I always have with me anyway. The pairing feature “just works” even with our University’s wi-if, which can sometimes be a challenge. The app works just as well as the physical box for controlling OBS, though all I use it for is simple scene changes. If you do the math, it’s much cheaper to get this app than it is to get the actual device.

This app is an amazing alternative to a physical stream deck. My girlfriend and I just moved into our own place for the first time, and money is tight. Instead of dropping $100+ on a physical deck, this came out at exactly the right time for us to get our start in streaming. The only drawback, and the only thing keeping this from a perfect 5 stars, is that I would love there to be a native iPad version. The iPad would be by far the perfect interface for this app, with the potential to do so much more. It does work in the way that running any iPhone-only app on an iPad does, but just feels restricted. Make one of those, and this will easily be one of my favorite apps on any of my devices.

Or not, I couldn’t even try it out since I can’t even get into the app (due to the lack of a credit card) I understand how much the physical one costs but I’m recommending a “light” version which doesn’t have everything but is free The only reason I have wrote this is because of how much I stream and need stream deck but with the lack of a credit card making it impossible I’m sorry this really isn’t against you it’s just my thoughts needing to be written down

It does exactly what it says it would do. Yes, it requires a subscription, but this is pennies compared to the cost of purchasing an actual Stream Deck physically. Lots of customization, very convenient, especially if you learn how to write batch files on windows. Easy to recommend to streamers out there!
