The Stream Deck Hybrid - Using Companion with Elgato Software

I've had a Stream Deck on my desk since the first gen 15 button came out. It helps me switch cameras and scenes without looking at anything but the camera. Since Bitfocus companion came out, I've always run hybrid mode - utilizing the direct connection of the Stream Deck, and being able to position cameras through Companion. Since I had to set up the 32 button on my Z-Book, I thought I would walk through the process.
