15 Stream Deck Buttons Every Streamer Should Set Up

A stream deck is only as good as the buttons on it. These are the keys streamers use most — and you don't need hardware to set them up. Deckon turns your phone into a stream deck for free.

Scene and source control

1. 1Switch to 'Starting soon'.
2. 2Switch to gameplay.
3. 3Switch to 'Be right back'.
4. 4Toggle the webcam.
5. 5Toggle an overlay or alert box.

Map these to the hotkeys you've set in your streaming software, then put each hotkey on a key.

2. 2Play / pause music.

1. 1Save a clip or replay buffer.

Put the keys you press under pressure — mute, scene switch — in the same place on every page so muscle memory works. Read how to use your phone as a stream deck.
