About Streamyard

StreamYard is a cloud-based live streaming solution, which helps organizations of all sizes conduct interviews, share screens and stream across multiple channels such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and more.

The platform enables hosts to manage multiple participants, stream pre-recorded clips and display live comments on the screen. Users can create a broadcast and stream to RTMP supported destinations such as embedded players or a third-party app. StreamYard helps users record live streams and download the audio or HD video recording to launch podcasts. Creators can also personalize their live streams with brand logo, color, banner, name tags, backgrounds and more. Individuals can invite audience members on the screen as guests, spotlight viewers and host a giveaway contest.

StreamYard is available on both monthly and annual subscriptions and support is extended via email and documentation.

Easy Streaming with Streamyard

Overall my experience was excellent. I never had a problem with broadcast quality or bringing guests onto the show. I was able to learn how to use the software quickly and and easily.

Pros:

Very easy to use for a non-techie person. Streamyard was one of the first that offered streaming in multiple locations simultaneously.

Cons:

The limits on the number of locations I could stream to at one time.

Reasons for switching to Streamyard

Streamyard offered an interface that I found more appealing. It also allowed streaming in multiple locations which Be.Live didn't at the time I switched.

Efficient & REAL TIME!

I have quite enjoyed using StreamYard, I have been using this service for about 2 to 3 months now and I never faced an issue with streaming in fact it was one of the best streaming apps I have came to try and see so far! I am quite impressed by its ease of use as well as options when it comes to streaming! Thank YOU Streamyard!

Pros:

I love how it allows me to show case videos to my viewers as well as be able to alternate between showcasing a video and talking to my viewers

Cons:

As a first time user I would like to have more streaming time for an allocated time frame like 5 months and then I can be requested to pay I believe this would first of all make more users interested in using this service and it would make them develop a habit of using this website hence forcing them to pay for an unlimited fee, in my opinion.

Excellent tool to produce lives

StreamYard has made our live content production much easier, as it is a very intuitive tool with many features. The fact that it runs directly in the browser makes it even easier to use. I recommend.

A great streaming tool for beginners!

I had a few glitches and bugs but I think it was either because of my internet connection or because the Live feature on LinkedIn was so new. Otherwise, it's a great tool for beginning streamers and it does what you need.

Functionality

Pros:

The main reason I liked Streamyard so much was because it was offered as a native integration through LinkedIn Live which is where I wanted to start streaming once I got approved.

Cons:

The freemium features are quite restrictive. I wanted to broadcast my streams to LinkedIn, Facebook and Zoom and to do that, you have to have a paid subscription.

Reasons for choosing Streamyard

It seemed easier to use and was a native integration offered by LinkedIn Live where I wanted to start streaming.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review, James. You're not alone in wanting paid plan features for FREE. We get this question often. At this time, cloud video processing is still quite costly, and this is why our FREE plan is restricted to one destination. We absorb this cost because we know money can be tight when you're just starting out, and we want to help creators, change-makers and businesses share their message and grow their community. We know video is THE best way to do this. Cloud video processing is still a really young industry. We hope that as it matures (and as we grow) we can offer more destinations on the FREE plan. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experiences! Keep in touch as you grow your reach with video. - Alana, Customer Experience Evangelist

StreamYard streaming is streamlined!

Overall, it works for FREE for personal use, but it would not be good for a business--like for me, I would like to integrate the HeySummit platform with it and it is not possible (currently). Certainly, there is NO concern however that it does what is currently designed to do--and the UI allows for facility in usage for the non-streaming expert--which we ALL are at first.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

StreamYard does EXACTLY what you need it to do on a shoestring budget. It's costs are upfront and not fickled, which is why I utilized it-- to see if my purchased ltd software (see below) was a good buy. I effectively used it with my Facebook page...seamless! I signed up on the site with YouTube and Twitter accounts, too. All were there (xcept Instagram).

Cons:

I wasn't so pleased with the little things. It was a bit grainy (but that could be any software...even Zoom). Its cost is lower than the others, but it does not integrate with as many other tools, either.

Reasons for choosing Streamyard

Be.Live has too many flaws still. It states it works a certain way, but does the bait and switch. Videolinq is still quite new to me. I prefer the pricing method of StreamYard than the calculations that Videolinq uses to price its services. Also, StreamYards UI is preferable. One can just get started and STREAMcast immediately. I may hold on to Videolinq for future uses as it can be integrated...even with StreamYard!

Vendor Response

Thanks Kimberly for taking the time to write this review. I love that you have found us to be your solution. You mentioned that you were interested in having StreamYard integrate with more services, I'd love to meet with you and learn more (Contact info sent privately). -Daniel.

Quick and easy out of the box solution for live streaming

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

It's so easy to use, stream live to the platforms we need and bring guests on. No additional software required.

Cons:

We have an additional camera we use and it causes feedback and noise when we have an in-person guest. Works great otherwise. This is likely something the software wasn't designed for, but we can't actually turn off audio all the way on the device.

Reasons for choosing Streamyard

It just worked out of the box. Easy to set up and use.

The basic stream solution for beginners

It was a wonderful experience when I started doing streaming. They make it easy and non-threatening for beginners. But for the same reason, when I necedad to step-up, I had to look elsewhere.

Pros:

It starts at $0, so you can't beat the price. It's so easy to use for basic streaming if you are just starting, it's an easy decision. Plus, the paid plans are not expensive, so if you need it, it's easy to upgrade to a paid plan.

Cons:

It's too basic. Once you learn to use it or need something better, you need to look somewhere else. This was my case and I felt like I had outgrown Streamyard.

Reasons for choosing Streamyard

The free price and the intuitive interface got my attention. I was able to create my first streaming in just a few minutes.
