This would be great for plugging all elgato products into such as mic and facecam so they are all together in one neat package and out of the way behind my monitor with easy access.

It would work well for that. My biggest concern would be with the Face Cam. Ideally that would be plugged directly into the computer, but it should be doable.

Hi Tansy, I just discovered your channel today when I logged into KZitem. I recently got the USB Hub for the Stream Deck+ and I've got too many issues to list. A good course idea, that you may want to consider is how to use the Elgato Prompter, Face Campro 4K with the Stream Deck Plus for making talking head videos. I have a question about the Elgato Prompter. Do you think it is likely that we will see a larger prompter for desktop use with about a 12 inch screen or something else, that is as easy to set up and use? Elgato recently released a professional version of the Stream Deck, which can be rack mounted and I believe you can have up to 3 of them, but not sure. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hi Leonard. I like the course idea, but I don't think I'm the best person to do it since I don't own or use the FaceCam and my use of the StreamDeck is relegated to productivity and editing and isn't used for recording. About the likelihood of Elgato releasing a larger model, I don't know. What I can say is that I think the current size is good. If it were any taller or wider, I think it would make it more apparent that a teleprompter is being used and the eyes would spend more time off camera than on. This would be even more pronounced for anyone who has it mounted above their monitor. The new rack-mounted StreamDeck seems to be aimed entirely at broadcasters rather than content creators, but it was an interesting release. I would love a straight Stream Deck in that form factor because it would clean up my desk a little more since I already have a desk with rack mount spaces for my audio equipment.

@@jesse.mccune Hi Jessie, Thank you so much for getting back to me. I'm a full time attorney, so I don't have a fraction of the time I need. What I mentioned is for my home office set up. I could not edit a straight line with a ruler. I'm trying to learn how to use all this equipment. I wish someone would make the course, I mentioned. I never thought of using the Streamdeck + for editing. I got a 128 GB V90 card for the slot. I want to streamline things as much as possible, since my significant other is a minimalist and she wouldn't allow me to set things up the way I want to. Hopefully the Rhode Wireless Pro I'm trying to learn about today will make recording easier. Thank you for all your help, now that I know about your channel, I will be able to watch and learn more often. But for me time is always too tight. Thanks again. Lenny

@leonardboyer7601 I'd be of more help if you were on a Mac because PCs are like a foreign language to me at this point. It sounds like you've got your equipment selected. Do you have a program chosen for recording your videos? That's usually the biggest hurdle in getting set up and where the biggest learning curve might be found. The equipment is usually pretty straight forward to set up these days. The Wireless Pro is a solid solution if you're going to use a lav mic since it can connect so easily to computers and phones. I have one sitting in a box for some brand videos we're going to be working on over the next couple months, but I haven't tried out the included mics, but I'd be surprised if they aren't good enough to get started with. I've found the Prompter to be the biggest improvement to my setup because it's allowed me to spend less time recording and editing because it keeps me on point and not trying to think on the fly as I'm recording. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help where I can.

@@jesse.mccune Hi Jessie, I always wanted to control my computers, and I was and still am a Windows person, because I like to build them, but can't program or edit the videos. I record to Zoom and I farm it out to a low end editor who can't adjust the voice/volume. I have used my Blue Yeti, black out edition on the desk top stand it came with. I make content providing legal education and information, so I upload my videos (which I have not done on a regular and consistent basis ) into the KZitem education choice. Don't know if that really matters or not. The editor only charges $35 per hour, so it's a bargain. These are the dog days of summer for attorneys and I already spent a ton of money for my video set up in my law office. We are going to have a video editor/videographer that is going to be a partner in the business and he does it professionally for a NY affiliate of a major TV network. The business transcends all niches, so we have to get a Kajabi website designer and have landing pages geared to the 3 major niches we are going to target. We will be offering legal and business coaching to people who in one niche, have a brick and mortar business that they want to get online and a 2nd niche will be for teachers who want to do things their way and eliminate a salary cap and the 3rd niche will be for people who want to avoid going to college and learn from someone else's mistakes. I think our partner will record to Adobe or possibly StreamYard. I realize MAC is better for video and that it is totally a different language, but I'm analytical not artistic. Thank you so much for all your help and advice.

@leonardboyer7601 Since you'll be using Zoom, the set up for this will be pretty simple once you get everything set up set up to your liking. PCs are just as good as Macs for video, I think it's just that creatives tend to gravitate towards Macs.

I purchased an Elgato USB Hub for my stream dec +. I have it attached to an Anker 250 power bank, via the 100 watt cable Elgato supplied. Only the Elgato logo on my Streamdeck + lites up. It does not show anything else. If I disconnect the USB Hub, and go direct to the Streamdeck + all is fine. Anything else I attached to the Anker power hub works fine. Any ideas, or advice is most welcome. Thanks in advance.

My first thought is that it it doesn’t seem to be communicating with the computer when it’s connected to the Anker. There are two USB-C ports on the USB Hub. One is for power and one is for the computer connection. Do you have a cable going from the Hub to your computer?

I’d recommend reaching out to Elgato’s tech support for some assistance. If you’re connected to power and your computer, the StreamDeck should be powering up and functioning.

Can i launch an external hard drive with a button if plugged into this usb hub? Basically want to avoid plugging/unplugging a drive into a computer.

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is you’ll be fine in most cases, but if you’re doing anything that requires high speed, you’ll be better connecting straight into the computer. The biggest exception I can think of would be if you’re working with video. You’re likely to run into speed issues when recording video to the drive or trying to edit from it.
