Bitfocus Companion

📖 What is Bitfocus Companion?

A free, open-source app that lets you control OBS, vMix, ATEM, and 700+ other devices and software from a controller like an Elgato Stream Deck. Assign scene switching, recording start, and more to a single button, consolidating the controls for a multi-device stream setup onto one panel.

💡 When to Use It

Useful when you want to control not just OBS but multiple streaming programs, switchers, and audio gear from one place. It's a good fit for one-person streaming setups or small studios that want to turn frequently used actions into physical buttons to cut down on mistakes.
