Streamdzy vs Stream Deck Software

Stream Deck is a button panel for controlling a stream. Streamdzy has its own buttons on the app and your phone, plus scenes and alerts.

The short answer

A Stream Deck gives you hardware buttons. Streamdzy gives you buttons for scenes, alerts and extensions in the app and on your phone, so you need no extra hardware.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Write down the three things your show needs most, such as places, cameras, recording or guests.
  2. Check the other tool’s current price and limits on its own website.
  3. Run a ten-minute test of your show in each tool, and listen back to a short recording.
  4. Compare the results on your list, then choose. Streamdzy is free to download and try.

Questions

Do I need a Stream Deck?

No. The phone remote covers many of the same jobs.

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.
