Adding icons to Stream Deck

Icon packs downloaded from Marketplace will be installed directly to Stream Deck and can be found in the Stream Deck Icon Library.

To open the Stream Deck Icon Library, head to the Stream Deck app, select the icon you want to edit, click the down arrow on the icon on the bottom left, and select Open Stream Deck Icon Library. (Shown in the video below)

You can also select Set from File to upload your own icons or Create Your Own, which will take you to our Key Creator.
