Phone streaming
Phone Battery While Streaming
Keep the phone’s battery up while it streams as a camera: plug it in, keep it cool and expect it to warm up.
The short answer
Plug the phone in, keep it out of direct sun, and give it airflow. A phone streaming its picture uses more battery and warms up.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- On the PC press Connect. A code and a QR code appear.
- Scan the code with the phone’s camera. The phone’s browser opens Streamdzy’s camera page.
- Press Start on the phone. It becomes a camera you can cut to, place and style in the scene.
- For the sharpest copy, let the phone keep its own full-quality recording; it is sent to the PC when you stop.
What to know first
A phone is a camera, not a second computer: its battery, heat and camera settings set the picture. Wi-Fi works well; a USB cable gives the steadiest picture. Use the webcam test to check the light.
Questions
Can the phone overheat?
It can warm up over a long stream. Keep it cool and take breaks if it gets hot.
