How to Stream Without Freezing for Viewers
Keep the picture moving for viewers when your connection stalls: the lifeline, record first and the relay.
The short answer
When your connection stalls, the lifeline steps the picture down, record first keeps the show in order, and the free relay on your own Cloudflare account hides the pause from viewers.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Open Connections and the Health check. They show what your PC and network can carry before you go live.
- Choose a picture quality that the check and the upload test agree on. A steady stream beats a sharp one that stalls.
- Turn on Record first so your recording is never missing a moment, and viewers see a smooth stream behind it.
- Keep the Lifeline on. When the connection weakens, the stream steps down to a smaller picture instead of freezing.
What to know first
Results depend on your PC and your connection. Streamdzy’s safety systems cover the most common failures, but no app can fix a connection that is down. Run the upload speed test to see your line first.
Questions
What is the relay?
A small free relay on your own Cloudflare account. It sits between your PC and the platforms and hides a pause from viewers.
