Why use this template

A clean break takes three things that are easy to half-forget: the BRB scene up, your mic muted so the room can't hear you, and a note so chat knows you're coming back. This handles all three on one key. No hot-mic moments, no "is the stream frozen?" while you grab a coffee.

Questions, answered

Do I need to know how to code?
No. "BRB / Break Mode" runs on Conductor Deck's visual canvas. Import it, then fill in each step's fields (a channel, a scene name, a message) right in the builder. No scripts to write.
Is it free?
Importing it is free on any plan. The Pipedream integrations it uses are Pro features, so you need a Pro or Max plan to run it.
What do I need to use this template?
A Conductor Deck account, a Stream Deck (or the in-app virtual deck), and the connected Conductor Deck plugin listed below. You connect Slack inside the builder when you import, with no separate install. Install and link the Conductor Deck plugin before importing, then keep Stream Deck Desktop and the plugin online when this workflow runs. Confirm each local action before import. Detected platform requirement: macOS. Make sure obs-cli is installed and configured first.
Can I change the steps?
Absolutely. The template is a starting point. Add, remove, reorder, or reconfigure any step on the canvas after importing, then sync it to any Stream Deck button.

New Sub Tier: On-Stream Action

New Follower: Play or Pause Spotify

When a new follower lands on Twitch, Conductor Deck triggers the Spotify Play / Pause action you choose after import. This toggles the current playback state: music that is playing pauses, while paused music resumes. Install a compatible Spotify Stream Deck plugin first, then choose its Play / Pause action in the builder.
