    "StreamYard - Simplicity at its finest"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: 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!!!

    Cons: 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!

    Overall: 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.

    "Best ever upgrade!"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: For a while, I was using my iPhone to record my Facebook lives. I am so grateful for StreamYard because it has been a wonderful upgrade for my personal ministry. Because of the ease in use, I have gotten better and better at ministry. It has helped me to feel more confident in being who I am in front of the camera.

    Cons: I really don’t have anything negative to say. I’m just looking forward to the future with StreamYard! I would like to see a dark background so that if I want to wear my glasses, there won’t be a glare.

    Overall: My overall experience is awesome! I’ve never been more happy with StreamYard. I even set it up for my friends, Pastor and the church, so now they’re using it!

    "Perfect for non profits"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: 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.

    Cons: Not much flexibility, customisation. Layout of the speaker.

    Overall: Awesome. Time saver.

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

    "Went from Novice to Professional Overnight!"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: With the impact of the pandemic and the need to reach my constituents in a virtual space, this platform took my simple streaming to a whole new level. With just a few clicks, we were able to stream on multiple platform, respond to comments in real-time and engage with our community. This new interaction has expanded our reach, to now offer our clients, increased product exposure and lively and meaningful conversation. We love the features of screen sharing and video uploads that provide us with that professional, polished talk show feel.

    Cons: I can't sat that there is anything that I don't like about StreamYard.

    Overall: My company appreciates the updates and improvements that StreamYard offers, along with the various tutorial/help desk programs that are provided to offer additional tips and support.

    "SY PERFORMING"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: Easy to use, everything is placed for fast location on screen. I love when videos ends you can download almost immediately.

    Cons: Better overlays for screen we just have a few.
    Brand colors to be different than chats.
    Banners to be able to place then transparent.

    Overall: I've tried melon app and sure it is nice you can give a better presentation to your broadcasting but StreamYard has given stability on streaming, from 100 videos I stream just one time I had problem but solved immediately.

    You guys need to add better things for users, what competitors are giving somehow, not everybody understand the quality is price.

    "StreamYard Makes Livestreaming a BREEZE"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: It's so easy to use! When I used to just do Facebook Live, I had so many issues like video cutting out, blurry pictures, frame freezing, livestreams just ending part-way through. With StreamYard, none of this happens; the picture and sound are always pristine and there are few glitches. I love it! I haven't even taken advantage of all the options. Plus, the support and how-to videos and forums are AWESOME! And every time I've had a question, it gets answered by other members or StreamYard folks directly. Love the customer service.

    Cons: I love StreamYard...I know there's a slight learning curve to adding features; that's my only delay in adding them.

    Overall: I am in week 85 of a livestream cabaret show - a weekly series since the pandemic began. I was only streaming to FB at the beginning. About a year in, I found StreamYard and started experimenting with it. I loved it so much, I joined and now use it weekly, to stream to both FB and YouTube. It's easy, there are few glitches and I'm so happy with it, as are my viewers!

    "Excellent Experience for my training streams"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: I love the banners feature, the short video clips feature, and the ability to record and save video.

    Cons: So far, it does not support the right to left alignment for RTL languages like Arabic.

    Overall: My best experience compared to Zoom and WizIQ.

    "Livestreaming made easy!"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: I was initially petrified of livestreaming as I had never done it within my professional career. StreamYard makes it simple to learn, and the incredible resources, learnings, trainings, and community gives you plenty of chances to continue to learn and develop your expertise.

    Cons: I wish the pro-plan was cheaper - having two producers backstage would be so helpful!

    Overall: I shout my love of StreamYard from the rooftops - and most recently in a national marketing conference. This platform, and the team behind it, is the absolute best.

    "Amazing and easy"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: It's easy to use to get set up. The community around StreamYard is also amazing. They really listen to you. I love that as a complete beginner I have been able to set up a weekly show and grow it.

    Cons: For practicality some of the features aren't available on certain plans and due to audience, or show type, it means that you wouldn't benefit from a lot of the other features.
    One example is that for pre recorded streams you are capped at 1 hour. I had to pay extra as this wasn't explained prior to recording. A small thing but could be easily fixed.

    Overall: Overall the community and platform itself is what keeps this the best product out there. It's easy to use and understand and can be easily tailored to whatever your needs.

    "StreamYard made it an easy entry into video blogging"

    Posted 2021-11-05

    Pros: So far, the ease of use and stability. Also, the weekly updates from the creators.

    Cons: Waiting for Teams and the ability to add music. Anxious for those to things to be implemented.

    Overall: Extremely happy, Have tried others and just keep coming back to Stream Yard. The ease of use and the fact that it even works on a Chromebook makes this a winner. Have used it on PC, Mac, and Chromebook

    "StreamYard experience"

    Posted 2020-11-27

    Pros: 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.

    Cons: 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.

    Overall: 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.
