How to Stream With One Monitor

Stream and see your chat, scenes and camera on one screen. Streamdzy puts the show, the controls and the chat in one window, so no second monitor is needed.

The short answer

Streamdzy works on a single screen: the show is in the middle, the buttons for scenes and Go live are below it, and chat can sit to the side. Nothing has to be on a second monitor.

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 two monitors to stream?

No. One monitor is enough. A second screen only helps if you want the controls and the chat apart from the picture.

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.
