How to Stream Cities: Skylines

Stream Cities: Skylines with your camera and a recording of the city’s growth, for a timelapse later.

The short answer

Capture the game, add your camera, and record the city. Make a timelapse from the recording.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Capture the game window in the scene. Use the window, not the whole screen, so the picture stays clean.
  2. Run the Health check with the game open, so the quality is set for the load the game really puts on the PC.
  3. Add your camera as a layer if you want your face, and turn on the game sound and your microphone.
  4. Go live or record. Use Mark, or the clip button, at the moments you want to find again.

What to know first

Games change their own settings and anti-cheat rules. Check a game’s terms before you stream it, and test a short session first.

Questions

Will a big city lag the stream?

A large city uses more of the PC. Lower the quality if the stream stutters.
