Cast a Game Live as a Commentator

Cast a game live as commentator: the game full screen, your face in the corner and a name bar, with chat and a recording of the match.

The short answer

Capture the game and your camera, arrange them as a commentary scene, and go live. Record the match so you can review the commentary later.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Add each platform once under Settings, Go live and paste its stream key. The key is kept encrypted on your PC.
  2. Tick the places you want on and press Go live. Your PC encodes the show once and sends it to each one.
  3. Watch the scene, the chat and the connection in one window. Press a scene or an alert whenever you need it.
  4. Press Stop when you are done. The recording of the whole show is already saved on your PC.

What to know first

Your upload speed is the real limit: every place needs its own copy of your picture. The installer is for Windows; Mac and Linux builds are not published yet. Run the upload speed test before a long show.

Questions

Do I need a separate computer to cast?

No. One PC can run the game and the cast, though a second PC gives you more room if the game is demanding.

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.
