Connect is the integrations hub where you manage all external connections between Helmo Live and your production tools.
What it does
Connect lets you link Helmo to graphics engines (Viz Flowics, Singular.live), production software (OBS Studio, vMix, CasparCG, Meld Studio), streaming platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Kick), and any HTTP-based API. Once connected, these integrations can be used in Helmo Control buttons, Helmo Rundown elements, and Action Sequences.
Supported integrations
| Integration | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Viz Flowics | Cloud Graphics | Viz Flowics overlays, lists, and timers |
| Singular.live | Cloud Graphics | Singular compositions |
| OBS Studio | Broadcast | Scene switching, source control, streaming, recording |
| vMix | Broadcast | Overlay control, transitions, streaming |
| CasparCG | Broadcast | Media playback, CG template control (requires Helmo Middleware) |
| Meld Studio | Broadcast | Scene, layer, effect, and streaming control |
| Helmo Graphics | Native Graphics | Helmo's built-in graphics engine via Supabase Realtime |
| YouTube / Twitch / Kick / Restream | Streaming | Platform streaming actions via OAuth |
| Generic HTTP | Data | Any REST API with variable substitution |
Connection modes
- Direct: your browser talks directly to the external API. Works for cloud services and local software on the same network.
- Edge Function: Helmo's server acts as a proxy for APIs that block direct browser calls.
- Middleware: commands route through the Helmo Middleware app for local software like OBS or vMix on a remote machine.
Credential security
All API keys and tokens are encrypted at rest. They are never exposed in execution logs, because sensitive values are automatically masked.
Where to find it
Go to Connect from the main sidebar to access the Integrations Hub.
Each integration card shows a green/red status indicator. You can test the connection from the edit modal before going live.
