Some of the programs won't allow any third party app to override their keyboard press.
If you happen to know any program, It will be helpful if you can report it here.

Seems like Streamlabs Chatbot won't work

Same thing for Discord, can not use a button to replace a keyboard shortcut.

So far I can use toggle actions like toggle mute, overlay, etc with no problem on my computer. Not with shortcut that require you to push the keys.

Streamlabs chatbot works.

You just need to have the button presses on no specific window.
Sometimes you need to "reset" the boards, by shufling through them on the desktop side.

I have working buttons for discord and other commands.
The support to streamlabs chatbot is limited on it's side to how many macros you can setup on it.

@Papaizitoo You can if you set keyboard commands for the voices in voicemod then have deckboard trigger those keyboard commands but there is no direct integration to voicemod currently.

@digitalfiz Thanks, i did what you said and it worked perfectly. I should just leave it out without mentioning the shortcut software so I don’t leave the game all the time.

World of Warcraft (WoW). I would like to use my keyboard shortcuts on the deckboard. When testing it in windows 10 (dryrun in Notepad) it works. However, the key commands are not able to enter the wow.exe task. It looks like it is blocked by WoW. the real Elgato Streamdeck works with WoW btw. Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=537GhHpCCdw . What is the difference between a real hardware keyboard and this virtual solution? Why does the hardware work but not the software emulation?

It's been like that. I just don't think you're able to open OBS with deckboard.

I have determined the reason for the issue
SOLUTION

This has been bugging me for the past few days, trying to figure out exactly why you couldn't use the hotkeys in discord and other programs. The reason is, when you run the macros, either through deck board of some other program to run key-send events, both processes need to be on the same permission level. When I ran my program as Admin, i also had to run Discord as Admin. This allowed me to run my scripts. So the solution is to have deck board check the process permission level of itself and whatever program you are tabbed into to. If there is a mismatch, either throw a command that changes the permission level or at the very least notify to run the program as admin.
