Phone streaming

Use Your Phone as a Camera for a Workout

Use your phone as the camera for a workout stream from your PC, with the instructor in view and the room in a second shot.

The short answer

Mount the phone at a wide angle, connect it with the code, and cut between it and a close camera.

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 I move around while streaming?

Yes, but keep the connection steady. Wi-Fi with a strong signal works best.

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.
