Show Song Words or Text on a Stream

Show song words, readings, a welcome or any text on your stream as a layer you can change while you are live.

The short answer

Add a text layer to the scene, type the words, and show or hide it with a press while you stream. Change the words between songs without leaving the scene.

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 change the text while the stream is live?

Yes. Text layers update on the stream straight away, so you can change a line between songs.

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.
