Streamyard Reviews

StreamYard is a very simple software to use, there's nothing complicated about it. At the organization, we run many live stream sessions especially during the lockdown and that's when we discovered Streamyard which we found to be a really cool software and never looked back since then. We loved how it integrates well with almost if not all social media platforms and it can run on two different social media platforms at the same time which makes it very easy for us in our streams. In my personal Youtube channel, I used streamyard a couple of times in hosting guests to my channel virtually and I loved it, even more, the ability to add more co-hosts to the live was really great plus it automatically records the sessions.

I really don't have any cons for this software as they have kept on improving the software and made it better and easier for us to use.

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

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

Simultaneous streaming to multiple platforms.
Video, slideshow, PC screen features.
Functionality to invite other participants.
Display of chat questions on the screen.
Simultaneous scheduling for multiple platforms.

Crashes and decreased video quality, even with stable internet connection.
Sometimes video sharing doesn't work.

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

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.

I love how easy it is to use streamyard. Maybe this was one of the first app that I use for livestreaming but it was generally super easy to use and all my guest didn't have much issue connecting.

I think there is some limitation to the layout which I prefer in other softwares.
Maybe also the costing

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.

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.

With Streamyard it's very easy per me to stream any live event (like interviews and book presentations) to multiple social networks. I like the chance to program the multistream and check that everything is okay with the other person online before going live.

Honestly, I don't have major cons for this service. It may seem a bit complicated at the beginning, but you learn easily.

It's really convenient for starting a live stream, especially on YouTube Live. You press a button, enter a title and you're up and running. We used to use desktop streaming software more, but it wasn't as convenient and straightforward as Streamyard.

There aren't so many features for on-screen elements. The most popular desktop software for streaming allows for a lot more customisation, whereas Streamyard is easier to use but lacks the customisation (for good reason really).

It's an easy, safe, and reliable live streaming software.

I am not really sure but it has been a great software so far.

It is simply the best tool for doing whatever your need is. In todays new era of content creation, it keeps the quality of the streams in all the platforms.

No cons it just do the work. Great quality. Great features. Great support.

It's easy to set up and use.
Streamyard makes it easy for one to host guests to a show, without them necessarily being present physically.
One can share their screen as the live stream is ongoing.
It automatically saves the live streams.
You can go live on multiple platforms ie facebook, youtube etc at the same time.

It can be hard for the host to monitor their sound during the recording, hence one is not sure if they're being heard or they are too loud, etc.

Streamyard is very easy to use. The interface is beginner-friendly -- very intuitive, even for people who are not used to streaming software. Love that it's all in the cloud -- so even if I get dropped out, people who are in the room can still push through with the stream. It's also not dependent on 1 person's connectivity. Easy as well to put in text (while live) and pull out comments from social media.

Wish there was a pricing structure that will accommodate for less frequent users who would like the PRO option.

It's super easy to use and in less than 5 minutes you have a live show ready. channels are easily integrated. very visual and practical to put all the live data or to schedule a premiere

It is definitely the price, the rest is going very well, but I think that the good things have to be paid for, they are those who have more experience, at least that I know in this area.

Streamyard is a good platform especially for business but it’s just too expensive for start up businesses.

The cost of the platform. It’s not cost effective for smaller businesses

I like the ability to stream live on both Facebook and Youtube.Also, the split screen feature is amazing, and the ability to have a co-host or team member

You need to have good network connectivity to enjoy it.

That it let's you stream to multiple services

The free trial limit you to broadcast to 1 site

Very easy to use especially when it comes to live streams involving guests. There is a lot of room for customization (being able to change the description, adding in your own branding etc).

The price can hike up very quickly if you want to broadcast more than 720p quality but even then, it's still pretty competitive compared to other software.
