# Use ATEM as Video Switcher for Visual Radio

> Connect a Blackmagic ATEM to VRA as your video switcher: check the supported firmware, enter the switcher's IP address and test the connection.

To manage your Video Switcher Connections make sure your [Core App is running](/machine-specs)

Go to [visualradio.cloud/studio/active/advanced/switcher](https://visualradio.cloud/studio/active/advanced/switcher) within your Cloud, and add a new Switcher.
