A Phone Camera for a Wedding Livestream
Stream a wedding for guests who cannot attend, with a phone as the wide camera and a second camera for the vows.
The short answer
Set the phone at a wide angle, connect it with the code, and cut between it and a second camera. Guests watch the stream and the recording is kept on your PC.
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 wedding stream work on the day?
Test the setup on the venue network before the day, since venue Wi-Fi can be busy.
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.
