Versions:
ScreenDeck 2.0.0, released by developer Joseph Adams, is a virtual on-screen stream deck designed specifically for tight integration with Bitfocus Companion. Built from the ground up in Electron and TypeScript, the application replicates the tactile layout of a physical Elgato Stream Deck on any Windows display, giving broadcasters, A/V technicians, and live-event operators a software alternative that can be launched instantly without extra hardware. Because it communicates natively with Companion’s WebSocket API, every button created in Companion—whether it triggers OBS scene changes, ATEM switcher macros, QLab cues, or Zoom camera presets—appears in ScreenDeck as a fully responsive, color-coded tile that updates in real time. The interface scales automatically to fit 4K laptops, multi-monitor rigs, or small touch panels, and its single-column, grid, or compact modes allow users to park the deck beside editing timelines or inside control-room multiviewers. Version 2.0.0 introduces sharper 256-pixel icons, faster redraws on page changes, and persistent window geometry so the deck re-opens exactly where the operator left it. Although only one major version has been published so far, the codebase is tagged for semantic releases, indicating that incremental updates will continue to track Companion’s expanding device library. The program falls under the Broadcasting & Streaming Tools category and is especially useful for podcasters who need a portable switcher panel, churches that want to spare the expense of additional hardware decks, and educators who run hybrid classrooms from a single laptop. ScreenDeck is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
