What are plugins?

Plugins simplify life by streamlining your favorite apps, smart home devices, and more. Assign Stream Deck keys to switch scenes in OBS Studio, mute your mic in Discord, or even pop some bubbles for fun.

How to find and install plugins

Step one

Log into Marketplace, go to the Stream Deck section, and select Plugins.

Step two

Browse plugins, filter by type, or use the search bar to find a specific plugin.

Step three

Select a plugin to read its description or add it to your cart to try it out. With free plugins, select Get to skip checkout and jump straight to downloading.

Step four

Ready to install plugins in your cart? Select the cart icon in the upper-right navigation to continue to checkout.

Step five

If you see the Get now button, you can skip straight to install. Otherwise, proceed with the checkout process.

Step six

Stream Deck will prompt a confirmation message to install the plugin. If Stream Deck does not automatically open, you can manually open it by selecting Launch Stream Deck. You can also manually install the plugin.
