Local vs Cloud Streaming Software
Local and cloud streaming software compared: where the video goes, what it costs and what each one does when the connection drops.
The short answer
Local software encodes on your PC and sends from there. Cloud software sends your video through its servers. Streamdzy is local, so the video does not pass through our servers.

Questions
Which keeps the video private?
Local software keeps it on your PC until it reaches the platform.
