# How to use Elgato Stream Deck with Google Meet (step-by-step guide)

# Tired of scrambling for the mute button in Google Meet?

If you own an Elgato Stream Deck, you can turn it into a one-touch command center for Google Meet. With MuteDeck, you can instantly mute, unmute, toggle your camera, and even leave calls — all with physical buttons you don't have to look for.

Here's how to get set up in just a few minutes.

# Why use a Stream Deck for Google Meet?

Google Meet doesn't natively support Stream Deck — it's a browser-based app without built-in API access. But MuteDeck bridges that gap. With MuteDeck and its browser extension, your Stream Deck becomes a powerful Google Meet controller:

  • Tap to mute/unmute
  • Toggle your camera
  • Leave calls
  • Always see your status with two-way sync

No more guessing. No more hot-mic moments.

# Step-by-step setup guide

# 1. Install MuteDeck

Download MuteDeck for macOS or Windows from mutedeck.com (opens new window) and run the installer. You'll get a 7-day free trial to explore all features.

# 2. Add the MuteDeck Chrome Extension

Install the MuteDeck Chrome Extension (opens new window) or MuteDeck Firefox Extension (opens new window) to let MuteDeck sync with Google Meet. The extension also supports other call apps, like Riverside.fm, the web versions of Zoom, Teams, and more. It keeps your Stream Deck's key status in sync with the actual mute/camera state in your call.

# 3. Install the MuteDeck Stream Deck plugin

Install the MuteDeck plugin through the Stream Deck Marketplace (opens new window)

You'll now see MuteDeck actions like Mute/Unmute, Toggle Camera, and Leave Call in your action list.

# 4. Add actions to your Stream Deck

Drag your desired actions to Stream Deck buttons. For example:

  • Mic toggle
  • Camera toggle
  • Leave call

Optional: Add custom icons (opens new window) (e.g. Google Meet logo or red/green states) for quick visual feedback.

# 5. Test it out

Join a test Google Meet call and press your Stream Deck buttons. You'll see your mic and camera respond instantly — no window switching or fumbling required.

# Pro tips

  • This is a two-way sync: MuteDeck keeps your Stream Deck's keys updated with real-time mute/camera status
  • Multi-app support: MuteDeck works with Zoom, Teams, and more — same buttons, same layout

Go deeper: Add a "Leave call" button or multi-action workflows
