if you happen to use a Stream Deck and you wanna integrate it with veadotube mini, this guide is for you!

with the official plugin

this plugin was developed alongside mini 2.0, meaning that you cannot use it with mini 1.4 or older!

we have an official Stream Deck plugin! you can download it from the Elgato Marketplace, which should redirect you to the main Stream Deck application to proceed with the installation.

to add an Action that changes the state in mini, follow these steps:

1. ensure that veadotube mini is open, and that websocket server is turned on in the program settings ;
2. on your Stream Deck, create an Action through veadotube > mini: Change State;
3. in the Target tab, ensure that the Stream Deck found your veadotube instance – if not, try restarting either the Stream Deck app or veadotube;
4. in the Action tab, select the desired state – if it doesn’t show up, try pressing Update state list, or restarting either the Stream Deck app or veadotube;
5. select a mode! these are the same as the shortcut modes in veadotube;
6. in the Icon tab, you can optionally pull a thumbnail from veadotube, and customize it however you like.

you can also customize how the Stream Deck plugin connects to veadotube, by using a custom address instead of using the first open instance or going through the list of open instances. different actions can also target different instances, by turning off the Use global target option on each action!

with system hotkeys

the classic way to use veadotube with the Stream Deck is to essentially create fake keypresses! here’s the step-by-step for each state:

1. on your Stream Deck, create an Action through System > Hotkey;
2. assign an unused key that won’t disturb other apps or Actions, for example, something between F13 and F24. you can also combine Shift or Ctrl or Alt if you need even more options;
3. go to veadotube mini, and click to assign a shortcut to the desired state;
4. press the Action on your Stream Deck.

now your new Action should fire the desired state :] you can now customize your Action however you want, with custom images and whatnot.
