Switch Display Positions (advanced with Elgato Stream Deck)

[kolorfilm]

Hi there,

for streaming I normally switch that small screen to the right of the big screen. I have to do this by hand. As I have a stream deck I was wondering if it possible to automate that. I know there a shortcuts in BetterDisplay and I don't know if there is a way to automate this?

And back.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can use the app's CLI features to position windows either by moving displays relative to each other or by using absolute coordinates.

Some examples for -moveTo:

You can use -placement for absolute coordinates.

@waydabber such a powerful app! Thanks for the help and the suggestion! Keep up the good work!

betterdisplaycli perform -namelike=ARZOPA -moveTo=topRightCorner -targetNameLike="DELL G3223Q"

Works somehow, but I also want to move it slightly lower (like in the description "to"). -placement does not work when I add that like:

betterdisplaycli perform -namelike=ARZOPA -moveTo=topRightCorner -targetNameLike="DELL G3223Q" -placement=3840x200

EDIT: betterdisplaycli set -namelike=ARZOPA -placement=-XxY works. I had to play around with the placement pixels.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
