"Best simple option but does not work for everything"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

I like how easy for speakers, admins, and social media participants. Also, I like how stable it is in termos of internet bandwith and the expanding features it has such as the new gif option, the sharing of videos from your destop, the expansion to 10 minutos of the uploaded videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

I dislike the small number of people allowed in the backstage. Many times we host events where many people will have a chance to participate but if they log in and are not allowed in the backstage they think there is a problem and we have to communicate with alternative methods. I also dislike the limit of 8 multiple transmissions. Many times we team up with several othet media outlets and each one has a facebook page and a youtube page. For large events we would need around 30 pages. Alternatively, you could figure out a way so that the platform is integrated with facebook in such a way that cross page postings with facebook pages is possible like when you do a live vent directly on faceboook. Finally, the the lack of availability to transmit to instagram, tik tok, spotify, is a negative part. Ideally we would have our transmissions integrated with all our platforms so that we don't have to worry about using other software to capture and transmit to the other platforms. A final and mino thing is that the logo of streamyard (the duck) does not look professional enough sometimes when we propose the use of Streamyard for an event, those who look at you site and see the duck do not get a first impression of being proffesional.

"So many tools and features that make Streamyard useful"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

Honestly, I love the ability to brand on Stramyard. When we tried doing zoom for our podcast I found it to be very limiting and honestly not that great beyond just being a platform to do "in person" interviews.

Streamyard has allowed me to do more with actual branding, the ability to record the video and the audio is great since we utilize both for the podcast, as well as being able to have a wide array of places to integrate the live functions of FB/YT and twitch.

The audio/video qaulity is pretty solid as well, as it's able to use my hd webcam and microphone set up easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Honestly, the ONLY gripe i would have is maybe allow for the ability to download seperate tracks for the people talking, or at least one local track and a secondary one for whomever you're talking to to allot for a easier mixing, as sometimes when both people are talking it creates a weird effect where it cuts both out.

"Steam with StreamYard!"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

Streamyard has been a fantastic asset in the development of our vidcasts; the ease of use, funcitonality make it the BEST platform to use! WE can market our guests by being able to manipulate backgrounds, add tickers and banners as well as being able to show video seamlessly, which makes this the TOP app to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

My only gripe with Streamard, and its something I'd like to see added, is IF I'm the man in the chair for someone, meaning producing but not on camera, I should be able to add audio queues without adding myself into the mix, especially if the host is blind as my colleague is.

"StreamYard is now essential for my entire business!"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

As they sometimes say, you don't know what you don't know. And while I admit my hand was forced a bit by a global pandemic, StreamYard has allowed me to be visible in a way I had never imagined--especially with in-person limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

If I had to pick one thing, I will occasionally run into and transmission download issues. They are few and far between, though. When this happens, I may just redownload and reshoot, and the problem is resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, beautiful, connected - I can work remotly with my team and make a great live every time!"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

It is easy to use all the features, really intuitive, and responsive. We can preset the templates and the personalized contents, so everybody can use them without talking to the design office - really fast and set to use!

Everybody can use it - from tech support to dumb users. Give it a try! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

I wish I could reposition better the placements of the logo and proportion of the camera and the presentation, but just to be even better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Affordable and elegant platform for multi streams"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

Its very easy to setup platform that can stream to multiple streamming services at same time. Also provides very easy graphical layout system implementation that can make the stream look professional and yet very interactive. Also the option for adding ticker with announcements and showing chat questions in very graphical way is one of the moust used thing from my side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Its not working as intendet under FireFox browser. Choosing audio source is not possible. I would like to see option for adding video url (ex. youtube) to be played directly into the stream instead of capturing an extra screen. Option for screen sharing on mobile is very big deal. I still use ZOOM in some cases just because of this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamyard created a whole new channel for our Media company during the pandemic! LOVE IT!"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

Streamyard is very easy to use and learn, and since I have been using the service, i have the mid-level package, i have seen system improvements so I know that they are just continually trying to improve and add more useful features. The cost is fairly ok, not the cheapest - but not the most costy, but I like that we can bring in video from not only a share screen on a different tab, but also share a video file now---for those file that are to big to upload to the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

that i always have to go to my email to sign on from a new browser but i appreciate that t is for our security. I would like them to consider adding a way to allow for a moving/video screen background as a greenscreen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love using Streamyard"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

Streamyard gives me the best control over a broadcast, and I can quickly bring on guests and remove guests. I can broadcast to all of my social media at one time. There is limitless potential with Streamyard. I also love how the names are displayed and how you can have a background photo. Adding videos and clips makes it look even more professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

I only have a few problems. One being that my regular laptop (which is brand new) makes the picture pretty blurry, even with a 720 webcam. I hope this improves. Another problem is the clips, which is a problem when someone else on my show doesn't have a perfect webcam and microphone situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"StreamYard is your best choice for broadcasting panels on YouTube and other platforms"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

StreamYard is easy to use; their support is responsive to your needs; no software to download; they continue to add new features, and they've had no downtime as far as I've been aware. After each stream, they offer you the option to make a suggestion, and more than once, they've implemented such a suggestion that benefits the creator community. They offer a generous free tier for those trying out their offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

My biggest problem with StreamYard is the cost of their basic and premium packages. I don't mind paying for quality software, but StreamYard feels overpriced for the benefits they provide over their free package. I feel their prices should be closer to 50% of what they currently offer and/or a more significant discount for paying annually rather than monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
