Phone Clamp for Streaming

A phone clamp holds your phone steady on a stand or a tripod, so it is in the same place for the whole stream.

The short answer

Clamp the phone on a stand at eye height, angled straight on. A firm clamp keeps the picture steady for the whole show.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Start with the camera and microphone you already own, and test them in Streamdzy with a short recording.
  2. Add one piece of gear at a time, and check the change in the picture or the sound before buying the next.
  3. Use the webcam test and the microphone test to measure what you have, before you spend money.
  4. Use the Health check to see whether your PC can handle the extra camera.

What to know first
