Connect stream & rec function to one button or action

From time to time we forget to start a recording when we do a livestream. I'm pretty sure that it would be possible to link the stream button to the record button. Anybody got some suggestions how to do this? When I assign both functions to the same streamdeck key it doesn't activate them together but alternately.
I know just press the record button when you activate the stream, but practice has shown that isn't foolproof.

That is simple...use Triggers....check the vmix tutorials to see how to do it...one key, more than one function,...I have many...my most important one is for our National Anthem,...when I select the key for the anthem to play, I have triggers to mute all other videos, pause or stop all other actions...and never had any issue...I also had it set to record, stream, and external with just one button....so, go to v.ix.com, and check their tutorials...

Hmm, then i mist have done something wrong. Did play around with the triggers. What do you use as actual trigger? OnCompletion of a designated input start rec/stream etc?
Don't want the trigger it twice and maybe fuck up the stream/recording :)

Try using Shortcuts. Build a Shortcut that has two commands in it; one to start Recording, the other to start your stream (s)
Assign these two (2) functions to the same Shortcut
StartRecording StartStreaming

This is how to do it....I did it by using the same key to start and stop both.... go to 'Settings > Shortcuts> Add> Select the key on the keyboard or whatever you are using, and select the function you want...I always use the same key to start and stop, so I selected 'StartStopRecording', and then repeat, and added 'StartStopStreaming'...so that single key triggers both functions, and you are good to go with a comfortable mind....just test to see if the Record and Streaming buttons light up when you do it.....you can use a single key to trigger as many functions as you want.....
good luck...and report back
works for me... Joeboe
