🔎 In-App Marketplace Search

Plugins enable new and powerful features for your Stream Deck, and we want to make the experience of finding and quickly using them easier. In Stream Deck 7.1, you can now browse recommended plugins and search for plugins right inside the action list.

Once you’re signed in with your Marketplace account, installing plugins takes just one click.

 

🖼️ Refreshed Desktop Icon

We’re updating icons across all Elgato apps, and Stream Deck now refined look with color on both Windows and macOS.

 

💾 Profiles save more resources

Profiles in Stream Deck are incredibly powerful, making it easy to share complete configurations. However, they’re limited to sharing just the icon and key layout. With Stream Deck 7.0, profiles now tell you which plugins you’ll need when importing a profile, and you can install them with one click. Further improving the workflow, profiles exported with Stream Deck 7.1 now include files such as music that have been configured in an action.

Makers, your plugin can now contain custom resources which are included in profiles exported with Stream Deck 7.1. Learn more in our Maker Docs.

 

⛔ Disable Stream Deck Devices

Stream Deck devices can now be disabled in the Stream Deck app. This enables third-party software, such as Bitfocus Buttons and other applications, to communicate directly with Stream Deck devices. At the same time, the Stream Deck app can now remain open to support other Stream Deck hardware, Virtual Stream Deck or Stream Deck Mobile.

You’ll find the option in Preferences > Devices > Enabled (Yes/No)

🔁 NodeJS Sideloading

Developers, this one's for you. Stream Deck now automatically downloads and updates only the specific Node.js versions needed by your plugins—reducing the app’s size and ensuring you always have the right tools for your plugins. The version of Node.js required can be configured in your plugin’s manifest file.
