A NSW father accused of assaulting his partner as he live-streamed himself playing the video game Fortnite has appeared in court for the first time.

But Luke James Munday, 26, won't be required to appear in person when the case next comes before court after his lawyer successfully argued "there was a lot of attention" on the incident.

News of Munday's alleged domestic violence-related assault on Sunday night went global after fellow gamers alerted police after hearing it play out during an online broadcast via Twitch.

Munday, known online as MrDeadMoth, said nothing during the brief mention in Camden Local Court on Thursday.

Magistrate Ian Cheetham granted a request from Munday's lawyer for a four-week adjournment so the father can seek "adequate legal advice".

The IT network engineer was also excused from appearing at that next mention on January 10 if legally represented.

"There is a lot of attention on this case, the alleged victim and my client," lawyer Steven Mercael told the court.

Police prosecutors didn't object to that application but did protest when Mr Mercael applied to remove a bail condition that Munday not approach the family home.

The court was told Munday's partner and alleged victim had written a letter in support of Mr Mercael's application.

But the magistrate said he wouldn't deal with it on Thursday and also adjourned the matter to January 10.
