Integration
Bitfocus Companion
Bridge your AI AV assistant directly to the world's most versatile control software. The Showcaller integration with Bitfocus Companion transforms your Stream Deck triggers into AI-orchestrated actions. By exposing Companion's custom buttons, surface pages, and variables to Showcaller, your team can seamlessly trigger complex multi-device macros verbally or through automated workflows. Connect legacy switchers, media servers, and obscure lighting desks indirectly via Companion’s massive module library.
