You Controller

Control YouTube, Twitch and Spotify from an Elgato Stream Deck, with the video or album art live on the keys.

You Controller is the official companion extension for the "YouTube, Twitch & Spotify - You Controller" Elgato Stream Deck plugin. It connects your browser directly to your Stream Deck via a secure local WebSocket connection, allowing you to stream live video frames, display dynamic album art, and control playback across YouTube, Twitch, and Spotify directly from your physical keys. --- KEY FEATURES: • Real-Time Video & Album Art Preview: Streams live video frames (YouTube, Twitch) and high-resolution album artwork (Spotify Web Player) directly onto your Stream Deck buttons. • Multi-Platform Playback Control: Seamlessly control YouTube, Twitch, and Spotify Web Player with real-time synchronization. • Smart Focus & Tab Tracking: The extension automatically detects whichever media tab you are actively watching—no manual profile switching required. • Background Control & Tab Locking: Control playback while gaming or working in other applications. Use the Lock Tab feature to pin your keys to a specific background stream or video. • Precision Seeking & Looping: Rewind, fast-forward (+/- 5s, 10s), step frame-by-frame, jump to the start, or set precision A-B repeat loops. • Interactive Platform Actions: Like/Dislike videos on YouTube, Follow streamers on Twitch, save songs to your Spotify library, toggle subtitles, and switch to Theatre mode. • One-Click Clip Creation: Instantly generate and share clips on YouTube and Twitch with a single key press. • Volume & Dial Integration: Full support for Stream Deck + rotary dials with real-time volume indicators and push-to-mute. • Performance & Quality Controls: Choose between Low, Medium, and High video streaming resolutions with adjustable frame rates (5 to 30 FPS) for zero system overhead. • Flexible Activation: Activate features instantly through ad-supported access, Patreon supporter benefits, or a Lifetime PRO license. --- HOW TO SETUP: 1.

No media data or user information ever leaves your computer. • Origin Protection: Secure local WebSocket verification ensures only authorized local plugin instances can interact with your browser. • Minimal Required Permissions: Standard permissions (tabs, offscreen canvas, storage) are used exclusively for capturing media frames and synchronizing playback state. • No Third-Party Tracking: No external tracking scripts, cloud dependencies, or data harvesting.
