If you're switching from the Elgato Stream Deck Plus to the VSDinside Stream Dock N4 Pro, you’ll be pleasantly surprised: the setup process is fast, intuitive, and designed to feel familiar — while unlocking far more powerful features such as the Touch Bar, dynamic backgrounds, RGB encoder lights, and a built-in USB hub.

This guide walks you through everything you need to know to migrate smoothly from Stream Deck Plus to the N4 Pro.

1. Download and Install Stream Dock Software

Start by downloading the official Stream Dock software from:
👉 vsdinside.com/pages/download

The software is lightweight, fast, and designed to feel familiar to Stream Deck Plus users.

2. Connect the N4 Pro and Its Built-In USB Hub

One major advantage over Stream Deck Plus is that the N4 Pro includes a USB 3.0 expansion dock.

On the base, you’ll find:

• 2 × USB-A 3.0 ports
• 1 × USB-C 3.0 port

You can plug in MIDI keyboards, microphones, dongles, webcams, or other peripherals directly into the deck for a cleaner setup.

3. Import Your Stream Deck Plugin Workflow

The N4 Pro supports most Stream Deck plugins thanks to its open, developer-friendly SDK.

If your plugin doesn’t work out of the box, the team offers engineer-level Discord support to help you port it quickly.

SDK for developers:
👉 VSDinside-Plugin-SDK on GitHub

4. Recreate Your Key Layout (Now With More Keys)

Stream Deck Plus provides 8 keys, while the N4 Pro provides 10 keys. That means:

• Two extra actions per page
• Fewer folders
• Smoother workflows

Recreate your previous layout — and consider taking advantage of the extra room.

5. Customize the Touch Bar (A Real Upgrade)

This is one of the biggest improvements over Stream Deck Plus.

The N4 Pro Touch Bar supports:

• System controls (volume, brightness, playback)
• Timeline scrolling
• Custom macro buttons
• Animated music spectrum
• Emoji and quick text input

The possibilities go far beyond the simple slider on the Stream Deck Plus.

---

6. Enable Dynamic Background Themes

The N4 Pro’s unique dynamic video background allows you to set:

• Waveform animations
• Motion graphics
• Ambient effects
• Color themes

This instantly elevates your desk aesthetic — something Stream Deck Plus cannot do.

---

7. Adjust the Viewing Angle

Unlike the Stream Deck Plus’s fixed stand, the N4 Pro includes angle adjustment so you can tilt it to your preferred viewing and interaction position.

This improves comfort during long sessions.

Conclusion — Smooth Migration with a Major Upgrade

Switching from Stream Deck Plus to the Stream Dock N4 Pro feels natural, familiar, and fast — but the N4 Pro gives you dramatically more power:

• More keys
• Dynamic backgrounds
• True Touch Bar
• RGB encoder lights
• Built-in USB hub
• Adjustable angles
• Lower price at the same time

If you’re ready to take your workflow to the next level, the N4 Pro is the most feature-rich upgrade path available in 2025.
