Troubleshooting
“My Stream Deck buttons show ? question marks.”
A re-install of the Stream Deck plugin most often helps.

- Close Livegrade
- uninstall the Livegrade plugin in the Stream Deck configurations app
De-Install Stream Deck plugin
- open Livegrade and go to Livegrade > Install Stream Deck Plugin…
“I updated to a new Livegrade Version and some Stream Deck Actions don’t work anymore”
Re-install the Stream Deck plugin via your updated Livegrade app.
- Close Livegrade

- Uninstall the Livegrade plugin in the Stream Deck configurations app
De-Install Stream Deck plugin
- Open Livegrade and go to Livegrade > Install Stream Deck Plugin…
“My buttons are gone, the actions suddenly disappeared.”
Most commonly you just switched to an empty profile.
When installing the Stream Deck configuration app, there will be added an empty “Default Profile” by default. If you just added Livegrade profiles through the Livegrade plugin installation process, you might run into a situation where you switch from one of the Livegrade profiles to the empty default profile unintentionally. It seems like all actions suddenly were gone, but in fact, you just switched to an empty profile.
We recommend deleting the empty default profile as soon as you have installed your Livegrade profiles.
- Open the Stream Deck configuration app
- Click on your profile and select Edit Profiles…
- Select the empty Default profile (NOT the Default Profile Livegrade) and click the – button
