Run a Charity Live Stream

Run a charity live stream with donation alerts, a goal bar for the total raised and a recording of the whole event.

The short answer

Use the goal bar for the amount raised, turn on donation alerts, and add name bars for guests. The recording keeps the whole event for the record.

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

Can I show a fundraising total on screen?

Yes. A goal bar can show a total, and you update it by hand or from your phone while the event runs.

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.
