A Streamdeck can control vMix in 2 ways either by triggering vMix shortcuts/hotkeys or using the "website" function for sending api commands ( in the background)

advantage of the webcommands is that vMix doesn't have to be in focus while for the shortcuts it has to be

If one often works with other apps next to vMix the shortcuts option wont work if vMix isnt in focus but especially with the new mulicommand option of the Streamdeck its easely solvable by adding a AHK script (autohotkey) to bring vMix in focus first

Code:
^d::    ; This creates a Ctrl+D hotkey.  Alt+D would be !d::
WinActivate, vMix Basic HD    ; Replace  with whatever Window Spy said your Window's title is.(you can eliminate the version number)
Return  



then with the Streamdeck just cal the Ctrl+D to bring vMix into focus followed by your vMix shortcut (hotkey)

Thanks for this --

You could also link all of your shortcut keys through AHK -- it will execute in the background by default always.
