Control the Stream From the Phone Camera
Use the phone that is your camera to control the stream as well: switch scenes and press alerts from the same phone.
The short answer
Open the remote on the phone and switch scenes, press alerts and extension buttons while the phone is also the camera. Your stream is controlled from one device.
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 one phone be the camera and the remote?
Yes, from the same phone, though a second device is easier to use while you present.
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.
