Summary

StreamDeck+ is a versatile tool initially designed for video streamers, enabling users to streamline workflows by customizing dynamic LCD keys for various functions, including controlling multimedia and home automation. However, its integration with browser-based video calls, such as Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet, encountered challenges due to plugins primarily supporting desktop applications. Enter MuteDeck, a software utility that bridges this gap by using a local network service to connect the StreamDeck with browser and desktop video calls, effectively allowing control over meeting functions directly from the StreamDeck. MuteDeck facilitates seamless communication between the StreamDeck plugin and a browser extension, enabling features like muting and camera toggling in both native and web versions of video platforms. Additionally, users can extend this functionality to other platforms, such as Stream Video, by developing custom Chrome Extensions using MuteDeck's template, which allows for tailored integration with specific websites, enhancing meeting efficiency and user experience.
