Stream Deck plugin

Summon your co-host from a physical button. It glows while the co-host talks, and tapping it again cuts the co-host off. Setup takes about two minutes.

You'll need: an Elgato Stream Deck, the Stream Deck app (version 6.4 or newer), and Maneku installed and signed in.

Install

  1. Download the plugin

    dl.maneku.ai/com.maneku.cohost.streamDeckPlugin

  2. Double-click the downloaded file

    The Stream Deck app opens and asks to install the Maneku plugin. Confirm.

  3. Drag a Maneku key onto your deck

    In the Stream Deck app's action list, find Maneku and drag Summon onto any key. There's also Cut Off if you want a dedicated stop button.

  4. Paste your token

    Click the key to open its settings. In Maneku, open Settings (the gear icon), find Stream Deck token, hit the copy button, and paste it into the plugin's Token field. Leave Port and Host alone unless you've changed them.

  5. Check the glow

    With Maneku open, the key wakes up. That's it, you're paired. The token stays on your machine; the plugin and Maneku talk locally, nothing goes over the internet.
