Keep control intentional.
Configure network services in Settings → Automation. OSC, ATEM, and Videohub control require the switcher to be running. MCP is available while the app is running, subject to iOS background limits.
For network control, both devices must be able to reach each other. Enable services on networks you trust. Bonjour advertising helps supported controllers discover the app; turning advertising off does not disable direct IP connections.
Under Allowed in View Only, choose which automation tools may still change the production. MCP also has its own production and output permissions. Test your controls before using them during a live show.
