A Phone Camera for a Funeral Livestream
Livestream a funeral service for family who cannot attend, with a steady phone camera and a recording kept for the family.
The short answer
Set a steady phone at a wide angle, connect it with the code, and stream to the platform the family uses. Keep the recording for the family.
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
Should I test it first?
Yes. Test the link and the picture before the service, and ask the family how they want to watch.
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.
