Drag-and-Drop Function Binding

Configure parameters:

Hotkeys: Assign single keys (e.g., A) or combos (e.g., Ctrl+C).

Functions: Set the executable path (e.g., OBS, Word).

Macros: Record multi-step actions (e.g., batch file processing).

.

Icon & Label Customization

Right-click a button → "Change Icon" → upload local images (static&GIF).

Toggle "Show Title" for icon-only mode or edit labels (e.g., "Stream Toggle").

2. Advanced Functionality

Toggle State Configuration
• For buttons requiring two states (e.g., light switches), enable "Hotkey Toggle" mode:
• Assign separate icons/commands for press and release actions
• Example: With audio plugins, single-tap cycling between input/output devices

 

Smart Profile Auto-Switching
• Create dedicated profiles (e.g., "Streaming Mode", "Work Mode") with app-triggered activation:
• OBS launch → instantly loads streaming shortcuts (Go Live, PiP, virtual camera controls)
• Discord/Facebook in focus → activates productivity shortcuts (quick replies, channel switching)

 

Knob & Screen Customization
• Knobs: Native support for volume&brightness&mouse control&Hotkey(

Game&App integration via customizable hotkeys)
• Pro Features: Expand capabilities through plugins (e.g., smart home API control)

 

3. DIY & Open-Source Solutions

Hardware Customization

• Personalize your Stream Dock with DIY skins (anime, mech designs, etc.) for a unique look
• Swap out knobs with compatible third-party replacements for enhanced functionality

 

Plugin Development

• Build custom plugins using our open-source SDK (e.g., Companion integration)
• Leverage system APIs for advanced automation workflows, such as:

 

Screenshot → OCR text recognition → Paste to spreadsheet
