Background for Streaming
Choose a background that looks clean on camera: a plain wall, a bookshelf or a branded backdrop.
The short answer
A plain or tidy background keeps attention on you. Avoid bright windows behind you, and keep clutter out of the frame.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Start with the camera and microphone you already own, and test them in Streamdzy with a short recording.
- Add one piece of gear at a time, and check the change in the picture or the sound before buying the next.
- Use the webcam test and the microphone test to measure what you have, before you spend money.
- Use the Health check to see whether your PC can handle the extra camera.
What to know first
Gear advice is general. Prices and models change. Streamdzy works with any camera or microphone your PC or phone can use.
Questions
Can I use a virtual background?
A green screen works best. Test the edges before a show.
Want all of this in one app?
Streamdzy is a free streaming and recording app for Windows: several cameras, your phone as a camera, going live to many places at once, and recording first so a bad connection never costs you the show.
