The Companion
The Windows overlay that shows teammates in game and uploads your replays.
The Companion is a free Windows app. It shows your teammates when a game loads, shows the enemy heroes after roughly a minute, and lets you give thumbs and tags. After the game it uploads the replay and matches it to your votes.
Setting it up
- Download and install it from the Companion page.
- Choose Connect to your account in the app and sign in with Battle.net.
- Check the code shown matches, then choose Connect this Companion.
If you prefer, you can create a token under Account, copy the one-time code (it starts with hsa_) and paste it into the Companion instead. You can revoke a Companion at any time from Account.
