To get started you need an Elgato Stream Deck of any model available at all major retailers such as Amazon. You also need a Soundtrack API key associated with your Soundtrack account. An API key can easily be obtained here.
Once you've set up your Stream Deck using the attached Quick Start Guide you can download and install the Soundtrack Plugin available on the Elgato Marketplace. Add any Soundtrack button of your choice:
Enter your Soundtrack API key and select which Zone (player) you would like to control. You only need to do this once, all subsequent buttons will inherit this information.
