Stream a Live Cooking Class

Teach a cooking class live with an overhead camera, a close-up of the pan and a recording for students, all from one PC.

The short answer

Put the overhead camera and the close-up in one scene, cut between them, and record the class. Students follow the steps and can come back to the recording.

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 students see the recipe on screen?

Yes. A text layer can show the ingredients or steps while you cook.

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.
