What Is a Capture Preview?
A capture preview shows what your scene looks like before it goes live. Check it before every show.
The short answer
The preview is the picture as it will go out. Check the scene, the sources and the sound in the preview before you press Go live.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Read the definition, then find the same word in Streamdzy: under Settings, in the scene, or on the Go live screen.
- Try it in a short test recording or a private stream, so the word means something you have seen.
- Read the feature page for it to see the settings, then set it up for your show.
- Check the pricing page for how use is counted. Every feature is free.
What to know first
Definitions are general; platforms and tools set their own limits and names, so check each platform’s guidance when a number matters to your show.
Questions
Is the preview the same as the stream?
It shows the picture the stream will carry. Check it before you go live.
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.
