Important — Do Not Unzip

Do NOT extract or unzip the folder. You need to open it while it is still zipped to find the plugin file inside.

Open the Zip & Double-Click the Plugin

Open the zipped folder by double-clicking it. Inside, you will find a file named com.fortimind.no3-ctrl with the file type "Stream Deck Plugin".

After a few seconds, a popup will confirm the installation was successful. You will also see NO Session Control NO Session Control plugin icon appear in the action panel on the right side of the Stream Deck app.

Verify Installation

To confirm the plugin installed correctly, click the gear icon (Settings) in the Stream Deck app and select the Plugins tab. You should see NO Session Control listed.

Step 3 — Install the Profile

Load the Pre-Configured Profile

Navigate back to your Downloads folder (outside of the zip file). You will see a file named "NO Session Control" with the file type "Stream Deck Profile".

The profile file is next to the plugin zip — file type is "Stream Deck Profile"

With the Stream Deck app still open, double-click the profile file. The app will ask for confirmation — click Install.

The profile loads immediately. All 8 keys and 4 dials on your Stream Deck Plus will be pre-configured with the full NO Session Control layout — no manual setup required.

What the Profile Does

The profile file pre-assigns all 14 NO Session Control actions to the correct positions on your Stream Deck Plus. Without it, you would need to drag each action into place manually. Think of it as a one-click setup.

That's It — You're All Set!

NO Session Control™ is installed and ready to go. Your Stream Deck Plus is now a dedicated NeurOptimal® session command center.
