Configuring Elgato Stream Deck with Mic Drop

Using the Stream Deck + Mic Drop plugin

Using our Stream Deck plugin is the easiest way of getting your Stream Deck working with Mic Drop.

  1. Install Mic Drop from the Mac App Store.
  2. Configure Mic Drop to your liking.
  3. Install the Stream Deck plugin from the Elgato Marketplace.
  4. Set up mute, unmute, and toggle keys in your Stream Deck.
  5. Enjoy!

Keys available in the plugin

Mute: Pressing this button will always mute your mic.

Unmute: Pressing this key will always unmute your mic.

Toggle: Use the toggle key to switch between muted and unmuted states. The key will update to show your current mute state, even if you used your keyboard shortcut from your Mac. If Mic Drop isn’t currently running on your Mac, you’ll see an indicator that Mic Drop isn’t running. Pressing the button will launch Mic Drop.

For each of these keys, we’ve made a few different icons available, so you can select the option that works best for your setup. You can also override our icons with custom icons.

Pro features

The Stream Deck plugin is a pro feature. You can try it out for free during your 30-day trial of Mic Drop. If you’d like to continue using it after that, you’ll need to purchase a one-time unlock of Super Pro.

If you don’t have pro features, your Stream Deck keys won’t work. Mic Drop will show a window explaining how to upgrade.
