The Elgato Stream Deck XL offers content creators and livestreamers studio-level control to optimize and get creative with their content, with time-saving integrations that enhance productivity or keep your stream fresh for a more engaged and interactive audience. An expanded 8x4 grid provides a total of 32 LCD keys, each sporting crisp resolution and fluid playback. Each key can be easily customized with static or animated icons giving one-touch tactile control with instant visual feedback for every command. The two bases allow the Stream Deck XL to lay flat like your keyboard or sit at an angle, and both feature non-slip bases so you can focus on your audience without worrying about the deck creeping away as you create.

With a stream deck, you can start and stop streaming or recording, adjust audio levels and mute mics. Tweak compatible LED and studio lighting, switch cameras and scenes, apply graphics or sounds, and more! When it comes to advanced live production, Stream Deck XL gives you excellent creative control, integrating seamlessly into Elgato Game Capture, OBS, Streamlabs OBS, Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, and more. Stream Deck XL integrates your tools and automatically detects your scenes, media, and audio sources for quick setup.

The stream deck's multi-action capability also allows you to script complex, custom stinger transitions and hotkey combinations that can take your production value to the next level. With the click of a single button, you can launch multiple apps and websites, open folders, paste in pre-composed text or chat messages, even streamline your video editing, graphic design, or audio production workflow. The best part is, once you set it, you wont have to remember the key shortcuts, navigate through nested effects menus, or look off-camera to focus on the small scene selection tools in your livestream encoder.

Additionally, personalizing your Stream Deck XL is a breeze. Simply drag and drop actions onto keys, and assign ready-made icons or use your own. If the main 32 keys aren't enough, you can turn keys into folders to nest as many actions as you want. Elgato has also included a free Key Creator so you can customize the visuals for your stream deck to make them looks exactly the way you want, including RGB and animated buttons.

Finally, one of the coolest features of the stream deck is that you can create unlimited "Smart Profiles" for many different applications, each with their own custom key layouts for different tasks. The elgato stream deck XL has the capability to dynamically switch its key layout to whichever program is currently highlighted, so your priority actions are always at the ready, even as you transition from livestream and gaming to graphic design, photo or video editing, and audio production.
