SETUP GUIDE

Connect your studio.
Make it your deck.

Connect FoldDeck to OBS and Companion. Companion for Mac and Windows is available now. The iPhone app is not yet publicly available, so iPhone instructions describe the current development build.

01 / Connect to OBS

Controlling OBS alone? You do not need to install Companion.

  1. 01

    Join the same network

    Connect your iPhone and the computer running OBS to the same local network.

  2. 02

    Show the QR code in OBS

    Open Tools → WebSocket Server Settings. Enable the server and authentication, then select Show Connect Info.

  3. 03

    Scan and connect

    Scan the QR code from FoldDeck’s connection settings, then choose Save and connect.

02 / Pair with Companion

  1. 01

    Open Companion on your computer

    Download from the official website. On Mac, open the DMG and drag the app to Applications. On Windows, open Setup.exe and follow the installer. The Windows build is unsigned and may trigger a warning. Check the download source and verification information; do not disable security features.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    A pairing QR code appears automatically when the connection is ready.

  3. 03

    Scan it on your iPhone

    In FoldDeck, open Settings → Companion pairing → Scan QR code.

  4. 04

    Test and save

    Choose Test connection, then Save pairing. Register the actions you want to use in Companion’s Actions tab.

Having trouble connecting?

Check your network

Use the same network and check for guest Wi-Fi device isolation or VPN restrictions.

Check permissions

Allow local network and camera access on your iPhone, and check your computer’s firewall settings.

Refresh the QR code

If your computer changes networks, use its current connection details. Scan OBS and Companion codes in their respective settings screens.

Check Mac permissions

Keyboard shortcuts require Accessibility permission. Some app actions also require Automation permission.

If you need help, email your OS and app versions along with the error message. Do not send passwords or pairing QR codes.
