# Connecting UgCS Companion and UgCS desktop application

Please follow these steps to connect UgCS Companion and UgCS desktop applications:

* Launch UgCS Desktop;
* Power on the drone;
* Power on the remote controller;
* Launch the UgCS Companion;
* The connection between two applications must be established automatically. This will be confirmed in the UgCS Companion, which will display a green indicator next to “UgCS” (the application status bar).

If the connection wasn't automatically established to the correct UgCS Server, it is possible to select the right one manually:

* Tap the UgCS button in the upper left corner;
* Select the correct UgCS Server from the list. If the desktop and the mobile applications are not compatible, there will be a notification with the requirements.

**NOTE: Make sure that the computer with the UgCS Desktop and the remote controller are connected to the same network, and that there are no restrictions with the firewall/antivirus or any other system on your computer.**
