The EASIEST and CHEAPEST Way to Control Your ATEM Switcher and Livestream | Companion & Stream Deck 

Josh!! Awesome. I've watched serveral vids on Companion and Stream Deck. I get the concept but putting it all together is certainly different. I really appreciate your very eloquent communication. Very helpful. Thank you so much

Man you just made that description super simple, and I won't lie, my techy brain started figuring things out. Where was this video just Saturday night? Sunday morning was... well it's over now lol

great video! in general I don't recommend using the web buttons if your device needs access to multiple pages, as the paginator does not work (as of 3.0.1) I suggest just creating an emulator under Surfaces, and using that on your phone/tablet! That works great, but be aware that that emulator is shared between all devices using that emulator, so if you f.a. change to page 3 on one, every device using that same emulator will also go to page 3. If you don't want that behavior, just create a new emulator per device! I am using this amazing tool as a replacement for a streamdeck to control my OBS and Spotify in an online-only home production setup for basic esports events. And as I don't have a streamdeck, my phone is perfectly fine using the emulator! I just add the web page to homescreen so I can open it up as if it's an app!

I am thinking of getting Stream deck and Companion for my portable setup. Is it possible to program various functions for devices that I have but are not connected while I program them? Great video!

Thnak you for this tutorial! This is my passion too 🤗

Love these videos man!

Streamdeck is extremely handy and a worthy investment, but not the cheapest option. Touchportal will run on any Android or Apple device. So an old phone or tablet, or a $60 Fire tablet works great! Touchportal will control OBS, ATEM, PowerPoint, OpenLP... It's a budget-friendly Steamdeck substitute.

I owned the atem mini pro, then the pro iso, and now the extreme pro iso. I tried the companion & stream deck and it connected well. BUT during some playing with it to get used to the stream deck, actually my atem crashed and got stuck. I had to take power off it to get it working again. That had never happened before and that is the most important thing I like to prevent. I record theatre plays and the atem recording without trouble is more important then any side equipment. So I sold my stream deck right away and ditched compagnon from the software controlling computer. No more stream deck remote control by me :) I would not advice companion connecting to the Atem if reliability is your number one priority.

Where can I join this slack channel?

Thanks for the video. One question. Can you create a folder button by using companion (similar to folder button icon when using SD software) ?

Don’t you want to upgrade to Companion v2.4 or 3.0.0 stable version?

Can you do a Raspberry Pi tutorial?
