MC Marina C. Head of Marketing Education Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/24/2024 "Seamless and professional live streaming made easy!" 4/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? StreamYard keeps live streaming super easy and professional. I love the intuitiveness of the platform, right from no downloads to direct streaming via your browser. We use it to host webinars with our clients and potential ones, as a lead gen initiative. Being able to customize branding, adding overlays, and inviting guests with only a link has been incredible. It's super reliable, even during multiple streams to different platforms at the same time. From webinars to interviews, StreamYard sends off live events in truly polished, engaging ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? I do find it a bit expensive, especially for smaller teams or businesses just starting out. Given the ease of use, reliability, and professional features that it offers, I think it's worth investing in. It saves so much time and gives great results; hence, it is worth it as far as live streaming is concerned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? StreamYard has made it super easy to run professional live streams, webinars, and virtual events without needing technical expertise or complicated setups. It removes the need for expensive production equipment and complex software to allow us to produce high-quality, branded content directly from our browser. This really opened up our reach and engagement to stream simultaneously on multiple platforms, meeting our audience wherever they are. Its collaboration with team members is super smooth: inviting guests, controlling the stream in real time-everything's pretty seamless. Overall, this saved time, simplified our workflow, and really raised the quality bar of our live content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Assistant Professor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/8/2022 "Apt for live presentation, small group meeting." 4/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? Very easy to connect, ideal for non-tech friendly people. 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. What do you dislike about StreamYard? 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. Media player is limited to a small size, only 100 MB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? Streamyard is working on its internet glitch issues. It is one of the biggest drawback of Streamyard. If this is sorted, streamyard is perfect for use within small group. Apart from it, they are also introducing new features and increasing the number of people allowed. Streamyard is also working on the customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Content Creator Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/26/2023 "StreamYard is a great service for creators, businesses, and more" 4/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? 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. What do you dislike about StreamYard? 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. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? When I started using StreamYard, it was making it incredibly easy for me to be able to do interviews with guests on my podcasts and either record or livestream my show on various outlets. Before StreamYard, I had to struggle with using Skype and Discord with varying quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/18/2022 "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. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? We were using StreamYard to break away from the popular platforms with security issues. The switch to StreamYard started in 2020, and we stopped using Streamyard in 2021. Our clients enjoyed the experiences, but it is evident that it was not significantly more helpful to the better known and more accessible to use options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Lead Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/9/2021 "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. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Show More Current UserValidated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite AP Ana P. Marketing and communications manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/20/2021 "Excellent" 4/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? Easy and intuitive. Allows co-hosts. Can stream to 3 destinations at the same time. It keeps the recent streams for backup. Doesn't requires a lot of cpu demand to stream. Don't need to download any app to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? The sound in streams is not very good, even when we use interfaces and professional mics. Would love to have something like an audio Mixer or a way to have a visible way to measure volume, not only by "ear". Also, some filters for video, very popular in Zoom to blur backgrounds would be very useful. Even when it doesn't use a lot of cpu demand, it consumes a lot of internet. Sometimes it doesn't work without a coaxial cable connected directly to the router or with the cellphone's internet data. It's kind of expensive, considering the "pro" results given by apps like OBS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: Try the free account before paying it and see if it reaches your needs. I recommend it because it is easy to work with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? Streamyard has been very useful during this time that the don't have meetings in person, but now that we are considering going back on a mixed structure, we have a debate within using OBS or Streamyard because of sound quality and prize. On the other hand, Streamyard is easier to use and more people in our team can handle it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can stream to multiple platforms simultaneously. I can add comments on the screen. I can also brand my broadcasts by configuring colors and uploading images, GIFs, and videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? I can't Invite more than six remote guests to join the broadcast. It is based on the cloud so, I can't download it and have it on my computer, and that's something that I can do in OBS Studio, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? When I need to do multistream, I usually use it. This is definitely a time saver, and it has made a significant difference in my ability to create content quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Co-director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/6/2021 "Best simple option but does not work for everything" 4/5 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: Make sure it serves your purposes considering the ample features but also the limitations.

Founder & CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/29/2021 "StreamYard is your best choice for broadcasting panels on YouTube and other platforms" 4/5 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. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? When Google stopped allowing Google Hangouts to be available to all and stream panel discussions on YouTube StreamYard came to the rescue with their package and it works very well and continues to impove.
