No more locked screens mid-shot.
A phone whose screen turns off mid-stream kills the shot. Keep Awake keeps it on while the cable is in.

Questions before you start
Something missing? Write to us.
Can I put my phone on stream in OBS?
Screen Capture opens your phone in a normal window on your PC, so OBS Window Capture can pick it up, and you need no capture card. Keep the window open, not minimized. You get a window, not a network stream.
What do I need to start?
Windows 10 or later, Stream Deck 6.9 or later, and an Android phone or tablet connected by USB with USB debugging on. It does not run on a Mac.
Which Stream Decks work?
Any Stream Deck with keys runs all three. A Stream Deck + adds a dial for Live Diagnostics: turn it to switch between battery, temperature and load, press to refresh.
Does anything leave my computer?
No. It runs locally over USB, with no account, no cloud and no telemetry.
Can I leave Keep Awake on?
It switches Android's own stay-awake setting, which holds the screen on while the phone is plugged in. A lit screen uses more power, so press the key again when you are done.
What happens when I unplug the phone?
Live Diagnostics goes offline and shows dashes. Plug the phone back in and it recovers on its own.
