Streaming

Stream Chess Commentary Live

Stream chess with the board on screen, your face in the corner and a lower third for the players. Chat can ask about moves while you play.

The short answer

Capture the board from your chess app or a camera on the board, add your face, and add a name bar for each player. Record the games for review.

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 the board and my face together?

Yes. Put the board in the main picture and yourself in a corner, as large or small as you like.

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.
