CM Cam M. Executive Editor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/25/2023 "Make Streaming Easy with StreamYard" 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? 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. What do you dislike about StreamYard? 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. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? In the sports industry – you have to be a comprehensive media company/member. Without live video, you may as well see yourself out. StreamYard allows us to be not just a member of the sports industry, but a leading one at that. 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.

Partner, Research Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/9/2022 "StreamYard is a very easy to use solution for streaming, even including multiple locations." 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? 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. What do you dislike about StreamYard? 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. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? We started with StreamYard shortly after the COVID-19 lockdowns in order to stream worship services to our members via YouTube. It's simple operation and easy integration with our YouTube channel made it easy for a few of us to just jump in and make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
