About

LinuxStreamDeck is a GTK4/Libadwaita desktop application to control the Elgato Stream Deck on Linux, built around full OBS Studio integration (obs-websocket v5) with live feedback right on the keys: the active scene lights up, recording turns red, going live turns green, a muted mic is marked. It ships a large built-in icon library and works as a virtual on-screen deck, so you can configure and test everything even without the hardware connected. Features: - Deep OBS control: scenes, recording and streaming, audio, sources and filters, media, and a raw-request escape hatch - Real-time feedback on the keys, driven by obs-websocket events - Profiles and pages, each with its own set of keys - Single, multiple, and toggle (ON/OFF) key types, with an optional Wait action - Reviewable AI-assisted key creation with OpenAI or Claude using your own API key - Built-in library of ~7,400 Material Design Icons, or use your own image - Drag & drop to reorder, copy/paste to duplicate keys
