Stream Deck Setup Guide

Why Use Stream Deck with StageFlow?

The Elgato Stream Deck provides tactile, one-touch control over your timers. Perfect for:

Production booth operators
Live streamers managing their own timing
AV technicians running multiple events
Anyone who wants physical button control

What You'll Need

Elgato Stream Deck (any model)
Stream Deck software installed
StageFlow Pro account (for API access)
Your StageFlow API key

Setup Options

There are two ways to control StageFlow from your Stream Deck:

Option 1: Website Actions (Simple)

Use the built-in Website action to open StageFlow pages:

Drag a "Website" action to a button
Enter your StageFlow controller URL
Press the button to open the controller

This is the simplest option but requires interacting with the browser after pressing the button.

Option 2: API Integration (Advanced)

For true one-touch control, use StageFlow's API with custom scripts:

Get your API key from StageFlow settings
Install a Stream Deck plugin that supports HTTP requests
Configure buttons to call StageFlow API endpoints
