Turn every attendee's phone into your event camera crew. No app download required — just scan a QR code and start streaming. The Director's Wall shows all feeds live, so you can switch between angles instantly.
CrowdCam is It's Buzzing's crowd-sourced multi-angle camera system. Instead of hiring a camera crew or paying for multiple cameras and operators, you simply display a QR code at your venue. Attendees scan it with their phone, and their camera automatically streams to your Director's Wall — a live grid showing all active feeds.
The organizer (director) sits backstage with a tablet or laptop, sees all attendee feeds in real time, and clicks any feed to switch it to the main broadcast output. This gives you professional multi-angle coverage with zero production overhead.

Here's the attendee experience from start to finish:
The Director's Wall is your control center. It's a live grid showing all active phone feeds from attendees. Here's what you see and how to use it:
All active phone feeds appear as tiles in a grid layout. You can see up to 50 simultaneous feeds at once. Each tile shows:
Click any feed tile to instantly switch it to the main broadcast output. Your viewers will see that angle appear on screen. The MAIN badge moves to the new feed.
Enable AI auto-switching and CrowdCam will automatically pick the best angle every 10–15 seconds. The AI considers:
In manual mode, you have full control. Every switch is your decision. Use this when you want to highlight a specific angle or follow action on stage.
Follow these steps to create and configure your CrowdCam event:
Pro Tip: Test your QR code with your own phone 24 hours before the event to make sure the streaming page loads correctly and your browser supports the camera permissions.
Use this checklist on event day to ensure everything runs smoothly:
CrowdCam works great for any event that needs multi-angle coverage. Here are some popular use cases:
Capture crowd reactions, stage energy, and emotional moments from multiple angles without hiring a crew.
Add worship footage and congregation perspective to your livestream or recorded service for a richer viewing experience.
Cover graduations, sports games, pep rallies, and talent shows with 0 production overhead. Families can watch multiple angles.
Conference coverage, awards ceremonies, and product launches with professional multi-cam feel — no camera crew needed.
No. Attendees scan a QR code and their phone browser opens the streaming page directly. It works on any modern iPhone or Android device — no app download required. The streaming page is optimized for mobile and uses the device's built-in camera access.
CrowdCam supports up to 50 simultaneous phone feeds on the Director's Wall. The grid automatically sorts feeds by quality, so the best angles appear first. If you have more than 50 attendees with cameras, lower-quality feeds may be deprioritized, but the grid will refresh in real time as feeds drop on and off.
All feeds are automatically recorded and saved to your CrowdCam event dashboard. Recordings are stored for 48 hours by default. You can download individual clips from specific attendees or request a full edited compilation from your team. After 48 hours, recordings are archived (you can request retrieval if needed).
Yes. CrowdCam feeds can be mixed with any professional camera source (Canon EOS, Sony, DSLR, etc.) through your StreamStage producer dashboard. You can switch between CrowdCam angles and your dedicated camera feed on the same director interface. This gives you the best of both worlds — professional quality plus crowd perspective.
Each phone needs approximately 2 Mbps upload speed to stream reliably. Most modern 4G and 5G connections qualify. WiFi also works great — just make sure your venue's WiFi can handle the upload bandwidth. For a 100-person venue, estimate ~100 Mbps aggregate upload available (so your internet pipe should be at least 250+ Mbps for safety).
