Install the 4All.Live Desktop Operator App

Prepare a dedicated operator workstation to run the 4All web production surface plus desktop-only integrations and local processing.

Best for: Event operators, production IT, and desktop administrators.

Before you start

Requires an active 4All account; desktop/offline entitlements may depend on plan and device-license capacity.

• Use a non-production event for commissioning.
• Record the current build and workstation owner.
• Prepare a documented fallback before making changes.
• A supported 64-bit workstation; the current build declares macOS 13 or later.
• Administrator access for installation and endpoint-security approval.
• Wired network, supported browser for authorization, and production audio hardware.

Installation and updates

1. Download the approved signed installer for the workstation architecture.
2. Verify the publisher/signature and app identifier com.4allcompany.4alllive.desktop before installation.
3. Close earlier builds and active events, then install in the standard application location.
4. Allow microphone, local network, outbound HTTPS/WebSocket, browser opener, updater, and local sidecar permissions when requested.
5. Launch 4All.Live and select Authorize App; finish sign-in in the system browser.
6. Return to the desktop app through the registered deep link.
7. Select the organization/team and open a non-production event.
8. Complete microphone, input routing, captions, display/share, local-model (if used), and stop/relaunch checks.

What success looks like: The app launches, authenticates, loads authorized workspaces, sees audio devices, and can complete a controlled event test.

Check your setup

• About reports the intended version (repository baseline 0.1.32).
• System permissions are granted to the installed app, not a stale copy.
• Browser authorization returns to the app.
• A test event starts and stops cleanly.

Troubleshooting

• App blocked: use the signed installer and IT allow-list process.
• Microphone missing: grant OS permission and relaunch.
• Authorization opens but does not return: repair deep-link registration and try again.
• Sidecar blocked: approve the signed forallcli executable and local loopback.

Security and operational notes

Important: Install and validate on a staging workstation before replacing an on-air build. Preserve the previous approved installer and event runbook for rollback.
