Phone Camera for a Live Tour

Give a live tour with a phone camera moving through a space, with the picture sent from your PC to viewers.

The short answer

Connect the phone as a camera and walk with it. The picture reaches your PC and goes out with the rest of the show.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. On the PC press Connect. A code and a QR code appear.
  2. Scan the code with the phone’s camera. The phone’s browser opens Streamdzy’s camera page.
  3. Press Start on the phone. It becomes a camera you can cut to, place and style in the scene.
  4. 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 tour stay steady while walking?

Use a gimbal or a steady grip, and keep your speed slow.

Want all of this in one app?
