The profile as it installs: 7 folders on the home page, 40 shortcuts inside them. Press a folder to open it, a key to see what it fires.

This profile's own key art, drawn by the same code that builds the files you install — and a starting point, not a fixed layout. Once it is imported, every key, folder and page is yours to move, rename, re-icon or delete in the Elgato Stream Deck app. What this page cannot be is the rest of the box: one theme of the ones it ships, two Stream Deck models of six, one platform's key combinations, and no dials.
And the dials
On a Stream Deck + the touchstrip shows this, and the encoder under it does what the card says. Drawn by the plugin's own display library — the readings are sample values, the layout is the one that installs.

Version history
Every published revision of this profile, newest first — what changed and why, in the maker's own words.
V2 Sep 25, 2026 Latest version
v2.0 — 2026-09-25 Rebuilt from VLC 3.0.24's own key tables, separately for macOS and Windows. v1 used one set of keys for both, and many did something else: on a Mac, Stop cycled subtitles and Fullscreen changed the audio delay; on Windows, Speed Up reset the speed, Jump 5 min jumped 10 s and Repeat shuffled. The 10-second jump sent a bare arrow, which VLC 3 uses for DVD menus, so it never seeked. Now 64 keys in seven folders. New: 3 s and 1 min jumps, chapters, next frame, snapshot, record, audio device, deinterlace, window size, and VLC's subtitle sync (mark audio, mark subtitle, apply, reset). Stream Deck +XL dials (macOS): every one of the six sent at least one wrong key, and all are fixed — both seeks, chapter, audio delay, subtitle delay and toggle, and the mute push.

Can I rearrange the VLC profile after installing it?
Yes — completely. It installs as 7 folders holding 40 shortcuts, and every one of them is yours from that moment: in the official Elgato Stream Deck app you can drag a key to another slot, rename it, change its icon, move it between folders, add your own actions or delete what you don't use. The layout is a starting point, not a lock.
Which operating systems does the VLC profile support?
macOS and Windows. Each shortcut ships with its platform-specific key combination, so one profile covers both.
