With so many abilities and utilities, it doesn’t take much for your UI to start feeling cluttered. From consumables, mounts, raid tools, you only have so much space on your hotbars. But there is a workaround—and it’s surprisingly clean.
Extend Your UI Beyond the Game
Elgato has shown how you can use your Stream Deck as an extension of your action bars. Each button can be mapped to keybinds or macros, letting you move less frequently used abilities and items off your main UI.
The video highlights a few practical uses:
- Hearthstone access without opening bags
- Potions and flasks for quick pre-pull usage
- Mount macros on a dedicated button
- Ready checks without typing commands
It’s mostly things you need often, but don’t want taking up space on your main bars.
A Timely Bonus
Another useful feature is the Stream Deck’s Clocks plugin, which tracks different time zones. For players in cross-region guilds, you’ll never be late for a raid again!
It’s an easy way to streamline your setup without overloading your screen.
