What you’ll need

Stream Deck plugins

These steps drive Elgato Stream Deck plugins. Install any you don’t already have before you import, so the buttons have something to control.

Why use this template

Your music shouldn't pull you out of whatever you're doing. One key plays, pauses, or skips Spotify straight from your deck. You adjust the vibe with a tap instead of hunting for the app and breaking your flow.

Questions, answered

Do I need to know how to code?
No. "Spotify Controls" 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?
Yes. Conductor Deck has a free tier you can import and run templates on, with no credit card required. Paid plans raise the monthly run limits and add advanced features when you need them.
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 also need the Spotify Stream Deck plugin installed before you import, since the matching steps drive it. You connect Spotify 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.
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.
