Elgato has ended their Elgato App Store platform, and replaced it with the Elgato Marketplace. The Elgato Marketplace requires an account to access and is much harder to incorporate into OpenDeck directly, so you have to download plugins from it manually. Luckily, you can install the plugin from elsewhere, or you can consult the step-by-step guide below.

Plugin sources

  • Open-source plugins, downloaded directly from the author's releases: available directly from the OpenDeck plugin manager, or accessible in a web browser here
  • Archived plugins from the Elgato App Store: available directly from the OpenDeck plugin manager, or accessible in a web browser here
  • Elgato Marketplace: see instructions below

Installation from the Elgato Marketplace

Caution

The Elgato Marketplace now 'protects' plugin files with Digital Rights Management (DRM), rendering the plugin file unreadable to OpenDeck and other third-party software. This information will remain available while not all plugins are yet 'protected', but more and more plugins from the Elgato Marketplace will become unusable in OpenDeck as time goes on. You are recommended to refer to the alternative sources of plugins above.

Warning

Elgato's Discord plugin requires a patch to work on Linux. If you are using OpenDeck on Linux, do not install the Discord plugin from the Elgato Marketplace. Instead, install it from OpenDeck's plugin manager, as the version available there is already patched and working.

  1. Log in to your Elgato Marketplace account, or create one if you don't have one already.
  1. Navigate to the product page of the plugin that you wish to install, and click the large "Get" button.
  1. Close the popup window that opens, as the automatic installation only works with the official Elgato software.
  1. Click on your profile image in the top-right corner to access your account page.
  1. Navigate to the "Products" tab of your account page.
  1. Select the plugin you wish to install.
  1. Click the download icon to download the .streamDeckPlugin file to your computer.
  1. Open the OpenDeck plugin manager by clicking the "Plugins" button in the bottom right of the OpenDeck interface.

  2. Click the "Install from file" button and select the file you just downloaded to install the plugin.

    • If you are prompted for a plugin ID, upgrade to OpenDeck v2.4.3 or newer, or enter the plugin ID which should look like dev.theca11.whack-a-mole.
