StreamYard Reviews

Summary: I just love to use this its totally easy to use and it's really awesome app for productive talks and connecting to the world.

Positive: We can now connect with many guests in just one place for organizing such kind of great and productive discussions, conferences, workshops as well as webinars. I just love this.

Negative: I liked all but I think like background and logo facility should be available for all in free mode so that max people can enjoy it
via this way lots of people will love to use this app.

Summary: My overall experience with StreamYard has been amazing. The online community of show hosts, producers, and administrators is tremendously beneficial to learning new features and bonding over our love of live-streaming.

Positive: StreamYard has been a pioneer in the way ordinary people are able to build a platform and let their voices be heard. I never thought that I would be able to host a professionally designed show without a company hiring me to do one. StreamYard has changed that — once and for all!

Never before has it been so easy to reach mass audiences, so why not do it in the highest quality way possible? I love using StreamYard, and I’m never leaving!

Negative: There was nothing I did not like — customer service reps are engaging and quick to respond if there are technical issues, which rarely arise.

Summary: I recommend but please roll out new features quickly.

Positive: Very easy to operate and good.

Negative: Lack of features
1) ppt sharing in single monitor awkward. should be very easy like video sharing and clickable
2) background music (melon has already this feature)
3) lack of banner/branding... should allow customized branding or sale theme.
4) very slow to deploy new features

Summary: It is the most easy tool for streaming in the world.. the speed of launch of new features is good enough.

Positive: The UX and resources are great and easy to use. It is the most easy tool for streaming in the world
The StreamYard team always improve the solution.

Negative: Increase to 4 the number of channels per professional account like mine.. My actual plan has just 3.

The design about script could improve.

Summary: Great easy to use resilient streaming platform. Have not had any issues or glitches caused by the software! Best out there!

Positive: Very easy to use and awesome functionality - SY team staying in loop with users and listening and making improvements based on user input ! Continuous new features. The ability to multi stream to many diverse platforms.

Negative: No multi cam ability without 4rd party tools. No support for SRT or HLS destinations. No on screen audio level monitoring for guest for the hosts. Would be nice to have built in audio mixing similar to voicemeeter.

Summary: As host and producer for a two-person sports show, I am amazed at the level of professional features built into this platform. We are heavy in guest interactions and our viewers appreciate being a part of the conversation and seeing their questions or comments on screen. StreamYard is a home run for streamers.

Positive: Hosting a sports talk show, we enjoy the various layouts and video-sharing, which allows us to show and analyze highlights and break-down sports plays.

Negative: It can be difficult some times to navigate from Comments, to Banners, to Brands to get the next asset prepared without losing a bit of focus on speaking. Would be nice to see an easier way to navigate between sidebar options

Summary: 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.

Positive: 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!!!

Negative: 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!

Summary: 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!

Positive: 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.

Negative: 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.

Summary: Awesome. Time saver.

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

Positive: 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.

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

Summary: 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.

Positive: 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.

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

Summary: 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.

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

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

Summary: 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!

Positive: 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.

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

Summary: My best experience compared to Zoom and WizIQ.

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

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

Summary: 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.

Positive: 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.

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

Summary: 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.

Positive: 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.

Negative: 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.
