Companion 2.2.1 features including Variables!

Quick walkthrough of a few new features in Companion 2.2.1 and using the new Custom Variables with the RCP module.
Get the build that includes the updated RCP module (Rivage/CL/QL/TF) that supports variables as well as the MIDI module (for CL/QL consoles) at my website. (It's free!) discourse.checkcheckonetwo.co...

Thanks for the review! One question. I've built a series of buttons in Companion to automate my church's weekly CZcams stream. Most of them are a simple command to my ATEM Mini Pro to AUTO fade between two cameras, followed by a command to one of my PTZOptics cameras to move the Preview camera to a particular shot. So far, so good. The problem is that I feared it would be easy for someone to lose track of where they were in my 18-step dance. As a result, I wanted to change the background color of the last button to be pressed (i.e., red) and reset the background color of the previous button back to black (the default). This last step is where my headaches began. I can turn off the background color of the previous button if I guess at it (i.e., if I press button #6, I can fairly confidently guess the previous selection was button #5). But it doesn't work if you press them "out of order" (i.e, #1, #3, #2).
So I'd like to use a custom variable to capture which button I pressed last. Again, I found in v2.2.1 that this step was relatively straight-forward. My problem, however, is that I can't figure out how to use this custom variable to adjust the background color of a button, since the Change Button Background Color command doesn't appear to accept custom variables. Is there another approach I should take, or wait until this feature is added to Companion? Thanks in advance.

No clue, sorry! Maybe you could do it using triggers? Best to ask on the Companion FB group or their Slack group.

I love Custom Variables but I don't understand why they didn't make them persist after Companion is closed. Then you can't us them to assign like a variable to button text for instance..because once you fire up companion it gets removed and replaced by the start one..
