How To Install A Stream Deck Profile
Every pack downloads as a zip holding one profile file per deck size, all the icons as PNGs, and a short setup note. Here is what to do with them.
Before You Start
The Stream Deck application, version 7.1 or later. If it refuses the file, this is nearly always why.
The zip from the download link we emailed you (or from your account, if you have made one), extracted somewhere you can find again. The desktop is fine.
About two minutes. There is no installer and nothing to configure.
The Steps
Extract The Zip Properly
Right-click the zip and choose Extract All. Windows will let you browse inside a zip without extracting it, and everything will look correct, but a profile cannot be imported from in there. Extract it first and the rest of this takes a minute.
Pick The File That Matches Your Deck
A 15-key Stream Deck takes the 15-key file, a Stream Deck XL takes the 32-key, and where a Neo layout is included it is labelled. Both Stream Deck layouts are in every download at no extra cost - and the Neo layout too, in the packs that include one - so if you are unsure, install one and try the other later. Choosing wrong is not harmful — it just arranges the icons for hardware you do not own.
Double-Click It
The Stream Deck application opens and imports the profile. It arrives as a new profile alongside everything you already had. Nothing you built is overwritten, moved, or deleted.
Switch To It
Use the profile dropdown at the top of the Stream Deck window. Your original profile is still in that list, and going back is the same two clicks — worth knowing before you start rearranging anything.
Optional — Make It Automatic
The Stream Deck app can tie a profile to an application, so it appears when the game launches and steps aside when you close it. Five minutes of setup, and worth it the moment you play more than one thing.
Optional — Use The Icons On A Layout You Already Built
If you have spent months arranging your own deck, do not import the profile at all. Open the PNG folder in the download and drag individual icons onto the keys you already use. Every icon is a transparent PNG at 288 × 288, named after the function it represents, so you keep your layout and still get the artwork.
