What Is an Ad Break?

An ad break is a pause in the stream for platform ads. Streamdzy can switch to a Be right back screen while one runs.

The short answer

A platform ad break interrupts the stream on the platform side. Use a Be right back screen to cover your own pause if you need one.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Read the definition, then find the same word in Streamdzy: under Settings, in the scene, or on the Go live screen.
  2. Try it in a short test recording or a private stream, so the word means something you have seen.
  3. Read the feature page for it to see the settings, then set it up for your show.
  4. 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

Does an ad break stop the recording?

No. The recording keeps the 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.
