Gear
External Drive for Recordings
Save your recordings to an external drive with plenty of space and a fast connection, so the disk on your PC stays free.
The short answer
Pick an external drive with plenty of space and a fast connection, and choose it as the recordings folder. Make sure it is connected before you record.
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
Is USB fast enough?
A fast USB connection is usually enough. Test the disk before a long session.
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.
