# Auto-connect

To automatically connect input sources on startup, open the **Input Strip** from the **View** menu (or using a toolbar shortcut). See [Multiple Input Sources](/nobe-omniscope/sources/multiple-input-sources.md) for details on setting up the Input Strip.

Once your input device is connected to one of the input slots, right-click the thumbnail and select **Auto-connect**:

You can set multiple sources to auto-connect on startup and save these settings in your layouts. Remember to save the layout after making changes.

Please note that Input Strip (and auto-connect) functionality is only available in the Pro version of OmniScope.
