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
