Stream Deck Setup

Control your EZStageManager timers with physical buttons using the Elgato Stream Deck.

Why Use Stream Deck with EZStageManager?

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
  • An EZStageManager room URL

Setup

Use Stream Deck’s built-in Website action to open the EZStageManager controller in your browser:

  1. Drag a “Website” action to a button
  2. Enter your EZStageManager controller URL
  3. Press the button to open the controller

Once the controller is open, you can use keyboard shortcuts (Space to play/pause, etc.) for one-touch control via Stream Deck’s Hotkey action.

Recommended Button Layout

For a 15-button Stream Deck, we recommend:

Start
Stop
Pause
+1 min
-1 min
Timer 1
Timer 2
Timer 3
Timer 4
Timer 5
Msg 1
Msg 2
Msg 3
Next
Reset

Custom Icons

We provide a free icon pack for EZStageManager-themed Stream Deck buttons. Download includes:

  • Start, stop, pause icons in brand orange
  • Timer number icons
  • Message icons
  • Navigation icons

Troubleshooting

Buttons not responding?

Make sure the controller page is the active browser window — Stream Deck’s Hotkey action only sends shortcuts to the focused window.
