Founding Partner - Director of Sales & Marketing Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/14/2022 "StreamYard has replaced Zoom - a far better solution for my business needs." 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? Streaming to multiple platforms has been a lifesaver for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? I can't think of a thing, easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: StreamYard was easy for me to get up and running on. Get out there and stream! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? I am currently coaching 800 business owners and found that being able to stream live into the platforms they prefer simultaneously works best for them. YouTube, a Facebook group, and a Facebook page at the same time. Not all of them use Facebook, but they can watch on other platforms. Easier for me to control their engagement from StreamYard than the other platform I was using. StreamYard is far more innovative in my opinion. I won't go back.

President Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/25/2022 "A Review of Streamyard by a Regular User" 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? The interface is simple and straightforward to setup going live. As well, I had no trouble adding in and integrating my social media accounts to go live in multiple places. I LOVE the ease of downloading the video and audio afterwards as well (I make a podcast from the audio). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? They've made improvements in the past year so much so that there is little to dislike. If there is one thing, I'd like to have the live comments be higher on the view so that as I look at the camera I can see comments versus needing to look down to the bottom right to see the latest comments coming in. It forces me to look away from direct eye contact with the camera. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? I needed a tool to simplify going live in multiple places at once. I used to only use Facebook live and then downloaded the video and uploaded it to YouTube as a video but now I can go live on both at the same time with a click!

Chief Strategy Officer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/14/2021 "Easy to set-up, run and manage" 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? Data Connectors live streams 30+ Virtual Summits Annually. Zoom was down with technical issues one day. We found StreamYard via a Google Search, installed and tested it, and was up and running LIVE - streaming to 800 via our RTMP to our Virtual Summit Platform (EngageZ) in under 45 minutes. Easy to use. Online/chat support was good enough and effective. Pro pricing is very reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? Would like more recording features, options for "scenes" and the ability to add additional moderators/co-hosts (they have this in the business plan, but that is not for us). Was the best after considering several alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: I would check out both pro and business. If you need for socal live stream (i.e. LinkedIn) GREAT choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? StreamYard is our solution for RTMP Live Streaming to Virtual Events and social platforms like LinkedIn Live. We are able to use this for our Virtual Summits, which is what our business is all about. As we move back into Conferences (in-person), we will continue to use it for Web Briefings (also using RTMP) and regularly for our LinkedIn Live Briefings. StreamYard made is easy for us to drop down our Zoom Subscription - and it solves for the live streams MUCH better than Zoom did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Educational Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/29/2021 "Easy to use for live streaming" 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? I love that Streamyard allows you to completely customize the stream without needing to have a background in videography. If you can use a video call software, you can start livestreaming with Streamyard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? There is a limit to how many people can participate in a call. For screensharing, it's hard to queue up a second screen while the first person is sharing. Or at least, I haven't figured out how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: I have tried a few live streaming options and find that StreamYard has the best features and ease of use. I recommend trying the free version first but know that you can get rid of the branding and customize everything once you upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? I wanted to start livestreaming without the risk of random strangers seeing the link to a video call and spamming the presentation. This way only selected panel members can join the actual stream but anyone has the ability to watch. It allows more customization that streaming directly from YouTube but without needing more technical backgrounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JA John Michael A. Blogger Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/1/2022 "StreamYard, a livestreaming buddy for years" 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? Streamyard at first made me overwhelmed beyond my expectations. Beyond that, I'm amazed to what this livestreaming platform has to offer. Indeed, my work with StreamYard is much better and easier than other live streaming platforms, simply because of the following reasons: 1. It's convenient, simple and easy to use. 2. It's hassle-free and you can connect to wherever you may use it. 3. The switching of cameras and live stream guests are simple to look at plus takes only seconds to make them available to be shown to the public. 4. The video quality is legitimately awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? The biggest dislike that I wanted to see more in their next update is the zooming of the camera. I wanted my guests to be seen into the deep aspect of zooming through them and be able to see their expressions in a zoomed manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: If you'll be streaming for the first time, first of all, try the FREE Plan which can take you to explore and understand it's features. Then, once you've been acquainted with it for a very long time, then, you can upgrade to a basic or professional plan. In this way, you'll be able to stream longer. 20hrs is enough if you're not streaming weekly or daily. But, if you're streaming daily or weekly, then you're acquainted much, 20hrs is not the best for you, you must upgrade to a plan. Plans could be quite expensive, but, if you have a passion for it, then, StreamYard is the best livestreaming buddy for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? I was finding for platforms that could help me benefit to multi-stream anywhere I can do. Productivity wise, StreamYard has helped me to improve my streaming skills and be able to have the best time to stream in different platforms and I'm looking forward with more opportunities and features to look forward to.

The most helpful about stream yard is the easy way to connect whit your audiences, we create series, classes, presentations, and we are able to create very instructive spaces.

Chatbot Marketer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/1/2022 "If you want to go live on different channels at the same time, you can consider it" 4.5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? Easy to use and customize the frame according to our branding. Viewers' comments can be shown on screen. People from different places can do the live in one frame. Admin has control over the audio and video of all the panelists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? Sometimes, I came through audio problems like echo, when multiple panelists speak together, sometimes it causes this issue, then after adjusting some settings or muting for a while, fixes it. Also, one time we had more panelists, and on StreamYard, you can have up to 10 panelists at a time, so we managed somehow by removing the speaker whose speaking is done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: If you want to go live/broadcast on multiple YouTube channels and Facebook accounts at the same time, even with several panelists (up to 10), you can consider it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? Going live with multiple panelists, generally around 5-10, on different Facebook accounts and Youtube channels simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Executive Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/25/2022 "I actually never give 10's in a product review... but StreamYard is different." 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? I stream live daily and sometimes multiple times in a day, and I have not used a more stable and incredible platform... and I have used most of them. I also repurpose the audio version of the show that is created by StreamYard, and it sounds great. , And on top of it all, they continue to make it better and better with new tools and revisions based on what customers want. Thank thank you, Geige and Dan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? I wish there were something I could say about what I dislike. But everything I have asked for has been done, improved upon, or fixed at this point. At this point, there is nothing to dislike about Streamyard. I would like fade options for transitions at some point. But that is a wish, not a dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering StreamYard: Start slow and use features only when you get the basics of running a broadcast down to be comfortable just talking into the camera. As you get more comfortable, start using some of the features as you get more and more comfortable. But take your time. Remember to have fun first and then add more bells and whistles to your broadcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? StreamYard solves all my broadcasting needs. Because of the quality of the recording, I can repurpose my broadcasts in audio-only form, print, and snippets. The growth of one of my podcasts is because of the quality of the Streamyard platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/1/2022 "Simple multi-channel streaming or recording" 5/5 What do you like best about StreamYard? Super easy to set-up, invite speakers, and set-up streams to live multi-channels or record for scheduling. No bandwidth issues, and allows you to move speakers around the screen or focus on speakers in a large window, rather than fixed recording window size on other platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about StreamYard? Can't really think of anything, to be honest... it costs to remove the streamyard logo, but that's normal. Occasionally some guests have an issue with different browsers, but I usually send the streamyard user tips to them, which helps avoid these issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is StreamYard solving and how is that benefiting you? Streaming to multiple channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook) setting up livestream events, and recording interviews and webinars for later publication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
