ActivelyPlaying

ActivelyPlaying puts the game you are playing on a Stream Deck key. Launch a game and the key shows its icon and name within seconds. Switch games and it follows, quit and it goes back to idle. No setup, accounts or Discord required.

HOW IT WORKS • Every few seconds the plugin checks which programs are running and matches them against the public list of games Discord recognizes for its "Playing" status • That covers thousands of PC games, and the list refreshes daily • Programs the list marks as launchers are skipped, so the key shows the game itself • If several games are open, the most recently launched one is shown

WHAT'S INCLUDED • Now Playing action for any Stream Deck key • Icon choice: store artwork, or the icon from the game's own executable • Hide the name to show the icon only • Extra games: add anything it doesn't recognize, one per line as game.exe=Game Name • Ignore list: stop specific programs from showing

SETUP TIPS • Drag Now Playing onto a key and launch a game • Open the key's settings to pick an icon style or add your own games • Games without an icon show their initials on a colored key

REQUIREMENTS • Windows 10 or later • Stream Deck app 7.1 or later • Internet connection on first run to download the game list; after that it works from a cached copy
