Phone streaming
A Live Q and A From a Phone Camera
Answer your viewers’ questions on the go with a phone camera, chat on screen and your PC streaming the show.
The short answer
Connect the phone as a camera, put chat in the scene, and answer questions while you move. Your PC streams the show.
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
Can I see chat while I move?
Chat shows in the scene, which your PC streams. Check the phone’s screen to see the chat too.
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.
