Stream a Board Game Night Live

Stream a board game night with a top-down camera on the table, your face in the corner and a timer for turns.

The short answer

Point a camera down at the table and add your face in a corner. A countdown shows turn time, and the recording keeps every game.

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 special camera for a table game?

A webcam over the table is enough. Make sure the cards and pieces are lit evenly so the picture stays clear.

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.
