StreamYard Pros and Cons

The ease to not only deploy but invite even the most inexperienced users seamlessly is the pinnacle of StreamYard's offerings. It's easy to deploy and easy to use, but even easier to integrate our social channels making it a breeze to push forward to our audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't really anything to dislike, our video department still utilizes StreamYard on a semi-daily basis at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has option of being in the backstage.

Best for live presentations, events and podcasts.

Doesn't need any app installation

Has options of moderation, screen recording, event scheduling, multiple screen, customizable branding, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If internet connection of one person is disturbing, the entire session gets affected.

The screen sharing option is tacky.

Needs good and stable internet connection, otherwise it can cause disruptions.

Connection is frequently lost in between

Only 6 on-screen participants are allowed within the window.

Has only one audio track and does not allow post-editing while live streaming

Customer service isn't that good.

I like the ease of use and setting up of StreamYard to be able to record conversations of either video or audio format as well as being able to multistream to various platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the general lack of a discounted price for StreamYard partners or atleast when I was part of their partner program. Alot of the pricing plans are beaten out by competitors such as Melon and Restream as well as them offering more features and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its interface is simple and straightforward. It can be used at no cost to get started, then the subscription fee is quite reasonable, and unlocks some very nice features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main reason we moved away from StreamYard (to Wirecast) was that we ended up equipping our Sanctuary with an array of pro-level IP til-pan-zoom cameras. StreamYard isn't meant to control cameras like that - it's excellent for switching between static webcams and the like, but we ended up with more equipment than StreamYard was made to handle.

It was an excellent way for us to start streaming - especially considering we could just use equipment we already had. It just wasn't quite powerful enough for what we ended up buying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That is stable easy to use and professional. I love that they have stuck to their founding pillars while adding features that enhance the experience. Great customer service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User-Friendly and paid plans are so affordable! Enjoy learning from the Facebook online community and the training with Q&A sessions they host regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anytime I've had an issue, the support team has been helpful. I would like to be able to post directly to IG instead of using a restream service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's one of the best tools I've used so far to connect with my following online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quality of the image, audio, and practicality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organization of the lives I create, the lives are automatically organized by order of creation, it would be better if I could choose the order, for example, it would be better for the lives to be organized by the date they will be held. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
