"Decent at what it's made for, could be much better"

What do you like best about StreamYard?

Streamyard allows you to multi-stream across Youtube and Facebook using one platform in a reasonably easy way for the hosts. The setup isn't complicated, and it's all web-based, with no software to install, which is an excellent asset for inviting a guest or two to co-stream.

You get a lot of options as far as graphics: not only can you tile the hosts' screens as needed to accommodate multiple hosts, but you can add "lower third" style titles for people, do flyover titles screens, have custom backdrops, and more.

You can also use it as a means to record sessions with a paid subscription, even without an audience. Just select "no destination," and it'll record a conversation privately for you to distribute later.

The introductory price is reasonable, and there's a free version to let you test things out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Stremyard CANNOT do Live streaming on Tiktok or Instagram, which is a downer because many of my audiences use those channels for content. If there were a way to incorporate those extra feeds into one big, wide-stream broadcast, this would be a slam dunk.

Customizing graphics is pretty clunky in Streamyard compared to others. You can't fiddle around with colors much, and if you want anything even slightly branded, you need to design the graphic content on your own using Photoshop or the like. Streamyard's training on how to do these customizations is pretty sparse. You'll have more luck looking around for Youtube creator tutorials.

The video quality on Streamyard is about on par with a Zoom or Skype call, often worse. You can upgrade to an HD video, but the HD tier cost is ridiculously high compared to peers out there who are doing HD quality for less or even free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fun and New but Nothing Amazing"
3.5/5
What do you like best about StreamYard?

I like how easy it is to bring viewers into the stream and see feedback from anyone watching. This tool has allowed us (in the trial phase) to reach our team more efficiently than we had before. We can even have clients join a stream to watch us work or present in live time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Streamyard does not have as many features as more popular options such as Zoom and Google Meets. The audio and video quality also lacks behind their competitors significantley. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"After hundreds of broadcasts Streamyard has never failed us..."
5/5
What do you like best about StreamYard?

I like how the interface allows for the instant insertion of graphics and videos to create fun and interactive broadcasts. When I compared some other platforms, none of them were as intuitive as Streamyard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Not much. When we were looking for a broadcast platform, we needed something flexible and had a lot of features. The improvements that Streamyard has made are the ones we would have made if it were our platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamyard integration with Goldcast"
5/5
What do you like best about StreamYard?

We find that Streamyard not only makes virtual transitions smoother, the branding and lower third capabilities are a big draw for our clients. More than anything, we find the using Streamyard on top of other virtual platforms actually makes them work more smoothly and helps us avoid their internal tech glitches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Honestly, it's been a very smooth software to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Streaming, Branding and Customizability - HORRIBLE LOGIN EXPERIENCE"
4/5
What do you like best about StreamYard?

Things I like:

- The flexibility you have with branding is impressive. You can select the styling for the live comments that come up during the stream. You can choose coloring options via HEX for most of the on-screen elements. And you can add your own logo and full-screen overlays to streams

- The multi-person streaming feature is seamless. We have not used it yet, but plan to have live guests on our live streams in the future.

- The private chat for guests of the live stream is wonderful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Things I dislike:

- It would be nice to have an easier way to switch overlays during the live stream. The overlay selection is hidden in the branding menu, so when you are mid-stream and looking at comments, you have to click away from the comments tab and into the branding tab to change the full-screen overlay.

- The single code login is excellent for solo operators, but for teams, it's HORRIBLE. I can't update our company Streamyard account settings unless I have the account owner login to their email and send their login code. What kind of app doesn't have an email/password login? And they don't have great team settings either! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Streaming"
5/5
What do you like best about StreamYard?

LOVE how easy it is to stream to multiple channels, customize layouts and professionalize our streams. We use it for livestreams but also for events and meetings - and it's so reliable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

While we use it for events, it's not really designed for that so there is a need for more functionality for streaming to virtual platforms such as chat integration to make it a more meaningful experience for attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
