Connecting to vMix (HTTP API)

Connect vMix to Helmo Live for overlay control, transitions, and streaming management.

Prerequisites

• vMix with the Web Controller enabled.
• The IP address and port of your vMix machine.

Setup steps

1. Go to Connect and click + Add Integration.
2. Select vMix as the type.
3. Enter a name (for example, "Studio vMix").
4. Choose your connection type: - Direct: if vMix is on the same network. Enter the host IP and port (default: 8088). - Middleware: if vMix is remote. Select your Helmo Middleware instance.
5. Click Save.

Enabling Web Controller in vMix

1. Open vMix.
2. Go to Settings > Web Controller.
3. Make sure it's enabled and note the port number.

Available actions

Once connected, you can:

• Overlay In/Out: show or hide overlay inputs.
• Transition: transition between scenes.
• Set Text: update text fields on vMix inputs.
• Start/Stop Streaming: control live streaming.
• Start/Stop Recording: control recording.

Tips

• vMix uses HTTP, not WebSocket, so the connection is simpler than OBS.
• Make sure the Web Controller port is accessible from your network, or use Helmo Middleware for remote access.
