In Windows 10, you may see a message that "Elgato Remote Control" plugin is not available. That is the current name of the plugin that interfaces with OBS.

Tap to change scenes, launch media, switch cameras, adjust audio, tweak lighting, post tweets – anything Enjoy optimum access and versatility thanks to a non-slip magnetic stand and detachable USB-C to USB-A cable When triggering consecutive actions within a Multi Action, actions are executed up to 50% faster for a more responsive experience. In rare cases, Open action App/File paths with special characters would fail on Windows systems. This is now fixed. Both values can be reduced as low as 1 millisecond (ms). This change creates a theoretical minimum delay of 2 ms between actions.

You can also choose to utilize a T-nut and bolt the mount into a channel, like those found on extruded aluminum frames, for a more modular approach, though you’d have to source your own T-Nuts to do so.

Using Bitfocus Companion, my Elgato can do quite complex things with OBS, Atem Mini (via Software Control) and Reaper. If you think tapping a key to execute an action is impressive, you’ll love Multi Actions. That’s right – assign as many actions as you want to a single key, and launch them all with a tap. Either one after another separated by intervals, or simultaneously. It's your choice. Example: Start your stream, and switch to your intro countdown scene, wait 1 minute, tweet you are live, wait 3 minutes, change your scene to full screen webcam, unmute your mic, and post a welcome message to your chat - all with 1 key press. Control your Nanoleaf Panels: At the press of a key turn your Nanoleaf lights on, off, change the color and more. The interface is large, friendly, and will start your stream right away. You will have access to all the necessary functions like go live, switch scenes, switch audio sources, in addition to a few others. However, if you want more innovative and complex capabilities then the Streamlabs Remote Control will fall short of your expectations.
