How to Use Multimedia Function on StreamDock

The Multimedia function allows your StreamDock to control common media actions, such as play, pause, previous track, next track, stop, mute, volume up, and volume down.

This feature is useful when you are listening to music, watching videos, streaming, editing, gaming, or working on daily desktop productivity tasks. If you use StreamDock as a stream deck alternative, macro keyboard, or streaming control deck, the Multimedia function can help you control media faster without switching windows.

What Is Multimedia Function?

Multimedia is a toolbox function in StreamDock software. After adding it to a key or knob, you can use StreamDock to control media playback and system audio.

Step 1: Add Multimedia Function to a Key

Open the StreamDock software and select the key you want to edit.

Then go to:

Toolbox > Multimedia

Drag the Multimedia function to your selected key.

After adding it, you can customize the title and choose the operation you want the key to perform.

Step 2: Choose an Operation

In the Operation menu, select the media action you want to use.

Available options include:

Previous
Play/Pause
Next
Stop
Mute
Increase Volume
Lower Volume

For example, if you select Play/Pause, pressing the StreamDock key will play or pause the current media.

If you select Next, StreamDock will skip to the next track or media item.

Step 3: Use Multimedia with Touch Bar or Knob

StreamDock also supports Multimedia control on the touch bar or knob.

For knob mode, you can select the Multimedia function and set the operation to:

Play/Pause/Previous/Next

This allows you to control media playback more quickly from the knob area.

Final Thoughts

The Multimedia function makes it easier to control media playback and audio from StreamDock. You can set one key for play/pause, another key for next track, or use knob controls for faster media operation.

Whether you use StreamDock as a stream deck alternative, a macro keyboard, or a streaming control deck, the Multimedia function can make your daily workflow smoother and more efficient.
