Explain : Stream Dock Hands-on: Plugins, Scenes, Icons

The previous article introduced some of the basic functions displayed on the Stream Dock(用超链接：https://www.vsdinside.com/collections/streamdock） product series' functional panels. However, those are just the fundamentals—the real power lies beyond. First, open the Stream Dock App Store or Space Plugin Marketplace to download a vast array of applications. Here, you’ll find not only plugins, icons, and scenes but also user-shared creations like plugins, scenes, icons, dynamic backgrounds, and more. It’s safe to say that Stream Dock can meet the diverse and personalized needs of various industries. Of course, if you or your company have development capabilities, you can even create custom plugins tailored to your products and upload them to Stream Dock’s Space.

Live Streaming Software

I used to envy professional live streaming setups, but with the Stream Dock visual keyboard, a single person can handle all live streaming operations effortlessly—no need to memorize shortcuts. It feels both professional and powerful. This compact keyboard integrates seamlessly with software and hardware like OBS, vMix, and YouTube, enhancing your workflow at a fundamental level. It simplifies professional live streaming, video production, and content sharing. 

Dedicated Scenes  

Create separate scenes for specific software to enable one-touch launching and operation. For example, scenes for live streaming, gaming, editing software, and multimedia. Take the Spotify music scene above: I downloaded the Spotify plugin in advance and configured keys for functions like fast-forward, volume control, and play/pause. With a single click to open Spotify, I can immediately control playback, adjust volume, and more. Even better, the playback keys display the album art of the current song. By enabling the scene-following feature, you can create a dedicated control panel for specific scenes. For instance, when Spotify gains focus, the scene automatically switches to the Spotify-exclusive layout. This makes everything from watching movies and listening to music to gaming and live streaming incredibly efficient. There are many other dedicated scenes available, such as ETS2, Helldivers 2, Adobe Premiere, and more.

Icons

On the Store and Space platforms, we’ve uploaded dozens of icon sets in various styles, including GIF animations and static icons. Each set contains dozens—sometimes hundreds—of options, covering themes like gaming, graphic design software, media players, national flags, emojis, numbers, and more. Whatever you’re looking for, you’re bound to find an icon set you love.

It even makes mundane tasks more enjoyable. All those hard-to-remember or repetitive operations have been transformed into advanced, effortless tools—like a modern-day "wooden ox and flowing horse" (just kidding (⌒_⌒;)). This easy-to-use, high-tech computer accessory is both a compact keyboard and a super shortcut hub. Thanks to continuous development, the Stream Dock system now includes not only keys but also touch-enabled secondary screens and knobs for even more convenient operations.
