Add support for the Elgato Stream Deck
Martin Price
Many tools have support for the Elgato Stream Deck which is used widely by gamers, youtubers and many professionals like myself. I did request this for the old Vcam and it never happened. If you want this application to be the killer camera app then this is a must. Being able to easily switch from blur to background removal to replace or originals, being able to switch backgrounds, logos whilst in a meeting would be very useful.

Looks like there is also demand for keyboard hotkey for pause/resume camera: https://feedback.vcam.ai/feature-requests/p/global-keyboard-shortcut-to-pause-unpause-video-stream

Jon Young - A hotkey might help if they were available at the system level and didn't rely on the VCam window being in focus. It would have to avoid clashes with other system hotkeys, at least from the OS. Having to maximise/restore the window from minimised and make it the focus in order for Stream Deck buttons to work wouldn't be much good.
You have an integration (Xsplit Controller) for Xsplit Broadcaster so it looks like you may have some knowledge of this internally.

Martin Price We should be able to make them available at the system level (I think this is a fundamental requirement), and you'd certainly be able to customise them so that you can avoid conflicts.

Jon Young Sounds like a great first step then. Thank you

Jon Young Agreed. I think that's a good order of operations.

We would likely implement a hotkey system first, which I believe you could then use with your Stream Deck to trigger certain actions. Following that, we'd then look to implement a full and proper Stream Deck integration. Would this work?

Agreed. This is a key feature and one that I would also love to see.
