Phone streaming
Stream From Holiday With a Phone Camera
Stream from a trip using your phone as the camera and a PC or laptop as the streaming computer, with a hotspot for the connection.
The short answer
Use the phone as the camera, the laptop as the streaming computer, and a hotspot for the connection. Test the upload speed before you go.
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
Will the connection be good on holiday?
It depends on the signal where you are. Test the upload speed first.
