ELGATO Stream Deck: How to Create and Customize Multi Actions

Understanding ELGATO Stream Deck Multi Actions

• 💡 Multi actions allow you to trigger several actions in sequence with a single button press on your ELGATO Stream Deck.
• 🎯 This feature is useful for automating repetitive tasks and streamlining your workflow.

Creating a Basic Multi Action

• 🚀 To start, drag the Multi Action from the actions list onto your Stream Deck.
• 📌 You can then drag individual actions into the Multi Action to define the sequence.
• 🛠️ As an example, the video demonstrates opening the Calculator application as the first action.

Adding Delays and Keystrokes

• ⏱️ Delays can be inserted between actions to ensure each step completes before the next begins; 1,000 milliseconds equals one second.
• ⌨️ Hotkeys can be added to input specific keystrokes, such as typing numbers or symbols.
• ✅ The example includes typing + and 6 to perform a simple calculation, demonstrating how to insert these keystrokes within the sequence.

Finalizing and Testing Your Multi Action

• ⚙️ You can customize the icon of your Multi Action and review its contents.
• ⏳ A final delay can be set before an action to close the application, such as closing the Calculator.
• 🧪 The video concludes with testing the created Multi Action to ensure all steps execute as intended.
