    StreamYard Is the Best

    Date: Nov 05 2021
    Summary

    I love this platform. I love using StreamYard. I have recommended it to to other users. I will be using it forever.

    Positive

    Finding StreamYard made me realize how much I didn't know about live streaming and the equipment you need to go live. Most of what I have/use is because of StreamYard. I was able to purchase the right equipment, do the right setup in order to go live.
    I like the ease of use
    Allows me to do my live stream to multi-platforms
    Without StreamYard, not sure I would have the courage to go live.
    Without StreamYard, I'm not sure my livestream would be as good as it is visually or if the audio would have sound as good.
    The different training videos are awesome.
    I like that they keep improving the platform.

    Negative

    I have no cons in using this platform, they are always improving the platform, so what's not there you can expect it there in the future.

    So Professional

    Updated: Nov 10 2021
    Summary

    Overall, I’m satisfied with this product. I love the interface and the ease of use. I like the ability to be able to customize the colors and certain settings. I’m looking forward to more updates and new features.

    Positive

    This software is like no other. It allows people to be able to stream across various platforms and has a professional setup, similar to news channels. The split screen feature is great. StreamYard also allows for information to be displayed to viewers on a scrolling marquee.

    Negative

    Initially, it was difficult for me to connect the app to Facebook. Facebook made it difficult to find on their platform. Another problem that I noticed is that there’s a delay from when a viewer types something in the chat until when it appears on screen.

    LOVE THIS!

    Date: Dec 01 2021
    Summary

    Overall, this is a good broadcasting software program. I like how it is super easy to use and set up. I like that you can use all major social media outlets since people from my age genre are on them 24/7.

    Positive

    Great for live streams, you have the option of live casting to multiple platforms, I like the option of paying a monthly or annual fee. You can stream from all the major social media outlets as well.

    Negative

    I don't have cons at this time as I just started using the program.

    Great for Live-streaming Sports

    Date: Nov 05 2021
    Summary

    Best option for our needs, happy with it, looking forward to updates and improvements. We signed up using the annual rate and will be renewing.

    Positive

    Easy to use, we stream bowling tournaments and a talk show about bowling, this platform works great, Ability to use OBS for multiple camera setup is great and using voicemeter for multiple microphones.

    Negative

    Moving between video and live is a little cumbersome, need a smooth way to transition, especially if the video goes to black but has audio still active, as a “bumper” to come back to the live.

    One of the most useful tools for event managers!

    Date: Nov 05 2021
    Summary

    Quick set up for podcasts, interviews, conference sessions even political campaign video recordings. The guests don't get burdened with the administrative "stuff" that with StreamYard they don't see.

    Positive

    Super fast set up and I can train my associates in minutes. I can explain the steps to a client or speaker from a conference and they can quickly log in, share their screen and get on with their day.

    Negative

    Need to rearrange a few of the buttons inside to allow for faster switching banners and brand assets. Almost there...

    Perfect for non profits

    Date: Nov 05 2021
    Summary

    Awesome. Time saver.

    It has saved us so much time. We are a non profit organisation. And it's been an amazing time saver.

    Positive

    Easy. Simple. Straight forward. It's very easy to setup. And it's user friendly. People with no tech background can get around with it easily.

    Negative

    Not much flexibility, customisation. Layout of the speaker.

    Great website for streaming

    Date: Nov 05 2021
    Summary

    Easy to use, not too expensive, many options to customize everything, lots of support only, but lack of volume control...

    Positive

    Streamyard is really easy to use and offer many options. You can easily setup everything for every platforms and add guests in a blink of an eye.

    Negative

    There's no sound volume board helping you manage the volume of your guesses or whatever you share on screen. It makes it complicated to talk over music for instance and make a podcast live sound more professional.

    Great value for streams made simple

    Date: Nov 06 2021
    Summary

    StreamYard has been amazing for our transition from nothing to two shows weekly engaging our community. Highly recommend!

    Positive

    They nail their pillars.
    Browser only setup is dead simple.
    Feature set is robust.
    Creating destinations and shows is really easy.

    Negative

    Branding/styling limitations.
    Lack of transition support.
    Studio view for intermediate productions isn’t conducive to manageable workflows without hotkeys, which are only now starting to roll out but still lacking critical functionality.

    StreamYard is the complete package!!

    Date: Nov 05 2021
    Summary

    I am so happy I started my streaming journey with StreamYard and never want to use anything else. Because of it I have been able to grow from a web show to podcast to a digital TV show all with the same platform. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them.

    Positive

    There is so much to love about StreamYard, where do I even begin?! The system is so user friendly for both the creator and the guests. The screen layouts they provide make it so easy to customize your live streams along with the tabs to change the colors to fit your brand. With banners that scroll or pop-up on screen, you can get the info out to your viewers with ease. Absolutely love being able to feature comments from the streaming sites during the live video to help the viewers feel part of the show.

    The best part is they are always looking for ways to make StreamYard better for its viewers with a weekly Townhall meeting and other opportunities during the week to educate users on how to best take advantage of StreamYard. Their customer service is unlike anything else I've seen before, whether I'm in the middle of a stream or not, I reach out to them for help through the direct message link for their immediate, helpful service. They are always polite and eager to assist.

    Negative

    If I had to give a con, I think it would be not being able to set up a login name and password instead of using a code to validate. Also it would be really nice to be able to format the font of the banners.

    StreamYard - Simplicity at its finest

    Date: Nov 05 2021
    Summary

    I enjoy using StreamYard. The StreamYard community is always willing and able to help all. There are so many videos from the creators and "employees" of StreamYard that will basically answer all of your questions. If not, there are numerous LIVE shows each week that you can participate in and get your questions answered.

    Positive

    StreamYard is designed for all skill levels to jump into the world of LIVE streaming. We so encourage all to use StreamYard. Do not hesitate, you will regret waiting. The StreamYard Family is always there to assist you in every way. MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW!!!

    Negative

    It will be so great when StreamYard integrates with Stream Decks. So many are eagerly awaiting that day. Frankly, I have yet to see any other issues that prevent me from using or endorsing StreamYard!

    StreamYard experience

    Date: Nov 27 2020
    Summary

    A good start for new users till they get savvy and can go to more challenging aspects. Sound is ok too. Paid option has decent features.

    Positive

    Easy to set up, seamless with facebook and youtube (most popular), simple to use, green screen option is easy for images, clarity is normal. Display of comments from audience is a great way to interact.

    Negative

    Support doesn't help much (thankfully there aren't too many issues), link to LinkedIn doesn't get a response for ages though they ask you to fill a form to request streaming to LinkedIn, hangs midway sometimes, no video green screen background, scrollers character limit is 200 only. Logo on two sides should be easier to do.
