Stream Deck Integration
Callie has native support for Elgato Stream Deck devices. Connect your Stream Deck before launching Callie for the best experience.
Connection
Section titled “Connection”Callie detects Stream Deck devices automatically on launch. The Stream Deck mirrors the current page of the Callie clip grid.
Layouts
Section titled “Layouts”Callie supports multiple Stream Deck layouts:
- Stream Deck Mini — 3×2 grid
- Stream Deck Standard — 5×3 grid
- Stream Deck XL — 8×4 grid
- Stream Deck+ — 2×4 grid
Choose the matching layout in Preferences → Stream Deck.
Button Appearance
Section titled “Button Appearance”Clip names, colors, and shortcut keys are rendered on Stream Deck buttons. Long names can be:
- Truncated — cut to fit.
- Scroll — animate across the button.
Set this in Preferences → Stream Deck → Text Effect.
Latch UI Page
Section titled “Latch UI Page”Enable Latch UI page to Stream Deck in Preferences to keep the software grid in sync with the Stream Deck. Navigating pages on one updates the other.
Brightness
Section titled “Brightness”Adjust Stream Deck brightness in Preferences → Stream Deck.
Changing Pages
Section titled “Changing Pages”Page navigation uses the bottom-left and bottom-right buttons of each Stream Deck page:
- Hold the bottom-left button for about half a second to go to the previous page.
- Hold the bottom-right button for about half a second to go to the next page.
These buttons can still hold regular clips, but a long press will change pages instead of triggering the clip. Playlists cannot be placed on these navigation slots.
Button Holds
Section titled “Button Holds”- Short press any clip button to play or stop it.
- Hold for 0.5 seconds or more on the bottom-left or bottom-right navigation buttons to change pages.
- Hold a playing playlist button for 1 second or more to stop the playlist instead of triggering play/stop.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Stream Deck not detected — close other apps using the Stream Deck (especially Elgato Stream Deck Companion), then restart Callie. Callie shows an alert if another application is blocking the device.
- Buttons are blank — check the selected layout matches your device or brightness is not 0%
- Laggy response — reduce brightness or disconnect unused Stream Deck devices.
