Elgato's Stream Deck product line is a great way to control your Ecamm Live broadcasts. 

Elgato also makes an iOS version of Stream Deck, which turns your iPhone or iPad into a full-featured wireless Stream Deck!

Ecamm Live includes a plugin, which adds 31 custom actions to your Stream Deck. 

Upon opening Ecamm Live, if the Stream Deck software is detected, you will be prompted to install the plugin. 

Once installed, scroll down in the Stream Deck app's list of actions to find the Ecamm Live section. 

Action keys can be added and customized as needed. To add an action to your Stream Deck, drag it from the sidebar to the desired key location.

Some actions have additional settings that need to be configured before use. Select a key to configure its action.

The Ecamm Live custom actions include:

This action will provide a Go Live key (or Finish key during a broadcast.) It will also change to a Record key when in Record-Only mode.

The Go Live key can be set to go live to a specific destination with a pre-supplied title and description or to go live to the currently selected upcoming broadcast.

A pause/resume key, used only for Record-Only mode.

Publish in Preview Mode.

Enter or exit Preview Mode.

Your Scenes from Ecamm Live will be listed in the popup menu. To configure, pick the desired scene. 

A green rectangle around the key's icon will indicate the current Scene.

Move sequentially through the Scenes in your Scenes window. 

Show or hide an overlay from the Overlays window. To configure, select an overlay from the Overlays window.

Play an animated overlay from the Overlays window. To configure, select an overlay from the Overlays window. (It will only list the animated overlays.)

A quick way to play music or a sound effect. To configure, select a sound file from the Finder or from the list of Sound Effects. Additional settings include volume level and an option for playback behavior. (Play/Stop, Play/Restart, or Loop/Stop)  

Note that this action should always be used in place of Stream Deck's built-in Soundboard: Play Audio action, as Play Audio will not automatically route the sound into your Ecamm Live broadcast. 

Trigger a macOS Sonoma reaction animation. (Requires macOS 14.1 or newer.)

Stop the currently playing music or sound effect.

Use this action to switch to a specific camera when multiple cameras are connected. To configure, select the desired camera. A checkbox is also provided to indicate whether or not to switch to Camera mode. (Uncheck this checkbox to trigger a camera switch without switching to Camera mode, for example, if you're in Screenshare mode with a picture-in-picture window.)

This action will switch to Screenshare mode.

This action toggles the picture-in-picture window. When in Camera mode, it will switch between split-screen mode and PIP mode.
