Stream Deck Integration

Control Open Intercom hands-free with your Elgato Stream Deck via Bitfocus Companion. Mute, push-to-talk, and switch lines without touching your keyboard.

How it works

Open Intercom integrates with Elgato Stream Deck through Bitfocus Companion, the industry-standard tool for mapping Stream Deck buttons to production software. Companion runs a WebSocket server on your machine that the Open Intercom browser tab connects to, giving you real-time control over mute, push-to-talk, and volume on every line.

Mute & Push-to-talk

Dedicated buttons to mute your speaker and mic, or hold-to-talk on a specific line, per production.

Per-line volume control

Adjust volume on individual intercom lines directly from your Stream Deck, no mouse required.

Zero extra hardware

Already own a Stream Deck for OBS or vMix? Adding intercom control costs nothing extra.

How to set it up

  1. 1

    Deploy Open Intercom on OSC

    If you haven't already, create your intercom.

  2. 2

    Install Bitfocus Companion

    Download and install Bitfocus Companion, the free tool that bridges Stream Deck buttons to production software. It runs locally on your machine.

  3. 3

    Add the Open Intercom module in Companion

    In Bitfocus Companion, search for the Eyevinn Intercom module and add a new connection. Set the port Companion should listen on (default 12345). Companion will now run a WebSocket server on that port.

  4. 4

    Connect your intercom tab to Companion

    Open your intercom site in a browser and navigate to the calls page. Click the Connect to Companion button and enter the address of your Companion WebSocket server, for example ws://127.0.0.1:12345. Keep the browser tab open while using Stream Deck control.

  5. 5

    Map your Stream Deck buttons

    Assign actions to your Stream Deck buttons in Companion. Available actions include:

    • Mute: toggle speaker and microphone mute
    • Push-to-talk: hold to talk on a specific line
    • Volume control: adjust volume per call/line
