To allow you to quickly and easily switch between Stream Deck Profiles, a majority of our products now include a dedicated 'Profile Switcher' key. This key can be configured to load another aircraft, the Flight Panels Profile Switcher, an AeroLens Pro Profile or any other Stream Deck profile of your choice.

Button Configuration

  1. Launch the Stream Deck software and open the profile you wish to amend

  2. Locate the Profile Switcher button and click on it to open the inspector window

  3. Select your Stream Deck from the Device drop down (typically Current)

  4. Select the profile that you want to load from the Profile drop down

Example
Device: Stream Deck XL (Current)
Profile: Flight Panels - FlyByWire - Airbus A32NX - Series

In the above example, pressing the dedicated profile switcher button would load the FlyByWire Airbus A32NX Series profile on the current device. If you have multiple devices, simply select the appropriate device from the drop down.
