Desk Setup for Streaming
A tidy desk with the camera, the light and the microphone set out in advance makes a stream easier to run.
The short answer
Set the camera at eye height, the light in front, and the microphone close. Keep the desk clear of things that move in the picture.
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.
