Recorders

Record Video From Your Phone Camera on Your PC

Use your phone as a camera and record its video on your PC, over your home Wi-Fi, without extra hardware.

The short answer

Open the phone link in Streamdzy on the phone, add the phone as a camera on the PC and press Record. The phone picture is saved on the PC.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Choose what to record: the whole screen, one window, a browser tab, or a camera. The choice is under Recordings.
  2. Turn on your microphone if you want your voice. It is saved on its own track.
  3. Press Record, and use Mark at the moments you want to find again.
  4. Press Stop. The session folder holds the finished file, each source, and the log of marks.

What to know first

Recordings use your PC’s disk, so check the free space before a long session. For calls and meetings, get everyone’s agreement before you record. Other people’s rules still apply.

Questions

Do I need a cable?

No. The phone connects over your Wi-Fi.

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.
