How to setup hotkeys in BEACN AppUpdated 16 days ago

With the May 2025 BEACN App update we have implemented hotkey support for some BEACN App functionality! You can now change profiles and mute different sources using hotkeys. In this article we are going to walk you through setting up hotkeys in the BEACN App

IMPORTANT NOTE

If you want to use another device like Streamdeck to activate the hotkey, you can! However its important to be careful when setting your hotkey as Streamdeck can see the difference between a number on the numpad and a number on the top of your keyboard. The BEACN App will only see it as the number. What this means is if you use say, Control+3 in the BEACN App, but in the Streamdeck button you use Control+Numpad3, it won't activate the function in the BEACN App.


HOTKEY SETUP

  1. Launch the BEACN App, and click the settings cog wheel down in the bottom left hand corner

  5. Press your hotkey to test that it worked.
