# vMix Support Extension

You can enable vMix support for Zip Captions by installing this extension from the Chrome Web Store. The setup process is a little more involved than for other platforms. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
You must ensure that the Web Controller function is enabled in vMix.

The extension can only talk to a vMix instance which is installed on the same computer. 
{% endhint %}

1. Install the extension using [this link](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zip-captions-vmix-caption/lbmofcdefajmlgdkccabpofoonmdfjao).
2. Install vMix from the [vMix site](https://www.vmix.com/).
3. Open vMix and add a title to your editor, this can be technically any title that you want.
4. Open the Options page in the chrome extension by right clicking on the icon and choosing options, or via the extensions page in Chrome: **⋮ > Extensions > Manage Extensions**<br>

5. In the vMix input box, you will put the name of the title (or rename your title in vMix to match the one you choose here).
6. In vMix, right click in the title box at the bottom of the screen, and choose the title editor, find the title property name, in the left hand box of the editor window, and enter this name into the fourth box (**Text Field Name**) in the chrome extension.<br>
