AW Anne W. On Air Guest/Product Specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/8/2025 "Good for Certain Contexts But Has Limitations" 3/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? I liked that Streamyard doesn't require a password to log in but just sends a code to the registered email. Makes it easy. You can easily add people remotely to your broadcast as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? I found the platform difficult to use if you needed to refer to notes. No teleprompter feature when I was using it. Had to import tiny snippets of notes into the side bar and it took absolutely forever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? I liked being able to pop up viewers' comments as we were doing our live broadcast. Helped the audience interact with me and each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Communications Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/13/2021 Business partner of the seller or seller's competitor, not included in G2 scores. "Decent at what it's made for, could be much better" 3/5 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. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: I'd recommend using the free version of Streamyard before biting the bullet to ensure it meets your needs. Also, if you have a younger audience, Streamyard may not be for you. But if you have a heavy Facebook or Youtube following, and your customization needs are minimal, it's a reasonably accessible program with many potential upsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? During the pandemic, it's been an excellent way to engage with audience questions in a live format, letting several hosts hop in to answer questions that fall within their field of expertise. We will likely use this process post-pandemic to engage with our audience remotely from time to time. However, given the audience's reliance on Instagram, it probably won't be via Streamyard unless they adopt that as a channel. It's also somewhat helpful in obtaining raw footage remotely when interviewing someone for an edited video project. However, as I noted earlier, the video quality is slightly sub-par unless you upgrade to the expensive HD tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
