I use StreamYard to livestream a weekly talk show/video cast and it’s great because it is an easy-to-use system that allows me to host 3 regular guests plus a new guest each week. The in-browser system is a big plus, as there is no need to download an app, and it connects easily with social channels like Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. I like the capabilities StreamYard offers, such as adding intros/outros, videos, and graphics to the stream, as well as the commenting feature. It's also easy for guests to log in through a computer or mobile device. The initial setup of StreamYard was straightforward and easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there can be technical difficulties. You have to make sure your mic/headphones/video is connected correctly before you get in the studio. If you get in the studio and then want to connect or disconnect headphones, you have to exit out and come back in. Recently, we have had an issue where the guest can hear 2/3 hosts but not one for some reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

StreamYard is a very cost effective, user friendly platform that supports all of our streaming needs. As a nonprofit, we don’t have a huge budget for streaming or producing content, but StreamYard helps us share our videos with ease and high-quality outputs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like the monthly payment model, but sometimes we forget to cancel. A month to month option instead of a subscription would be ideal for times when we’re not using the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

StreamYard is extremely user-friendly and intuitive. The quality of streams is great, the user interface is easy to navigate, and it is super easy to connect to other platforms to broadcast live (website, social media, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be cool to have more design elements within the app (graphics, captions, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Streamyard is the best live broadcasting studio I have been using this platform for 6-7 months, i found this platform very useful for telecasting live sessions. It is very easy to use, cose effective and time-managing tool. We can edit the description, thumbnail, and topic whenever we want before the live session begins which is very useful. Also if we are not available for the live session we can even record the video prior and can upload it in pre-recorded option we can sit back and watch the live session which goes live automatically at that particular time that we have fixed. Awesome tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Streamyard is best, but I have some suggestions, once the session is broadcasted live at that time we are unable to edit the description which I faced a little bit of problem also while live commenting on the platform it does not support long answers hence it's cutting the sentence into two and displaying which is a bit weird also once we comment live if those texts have little mistakes we cannot edit/delete that particular text which makes us upset. Otherwise, streamyard tool is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cross-stream option, allowinf me to stream to various destinations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I purchased StreamYard’s plan in good faith based on recommendations. I seriously regret that decision. Now that I know how they operate, I will actively avoid recommending them to anyone.

Nowhere do they inform users about the extremely limiting cap on how many people can join the studio. I found out during my live stream - with 150 registered attendees attempting to join - only to be met with a constant pop-up saying the limit is 15 people. This is critical information, and the fact that it’s hidden or not mentioned anywhere is unacceptable.

I reached out to support 24 hours before the stream asking for clarity and guidance. And what did I get? Nothing. No helpdesk article. No call. No response. I left five messages, stayed up late assuming support might reply from a different timezone, but I heard absolutely nothing.

I haven’t been this disappointed or angry at a tool in a long time. Even tiny startups built over a weekend - let alone major companies like Cisco - can provide faster and more responsible support to paying customers in urgent situations.

I will not be hosting webinars again anytime soon. But when I do, I’ll make sure to find an alternative to StreamYard so I never have to deal with this kind of negligence again.

I’ll also share this experience across review platforms so others don’t walk into the same trap.

Absolutely unacceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very easy to use. I can connect one stream to multiple destinations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As per right now i have not issues with streamyard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy branding, overlays, and guest highlighting made my wellness show professional and seamless for 3+ years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recordings freeze, black screens, no audio; generic AI support ignores issues; forced upgrade to an expensive plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

I have been using this product for many years and was a big fan. The product is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer experience and customer support have severely deteriorated. Nearly every support ticket response is incorrect or not related to my inquiry or bug report. They used to have chat-based help now it's just poor email support. They changed pricing without allowing users to opt-in and only communicated it once buried in a long email.

I was so loyal that despite the poor experience I have not churned YET.

The product has not been having severe bugs that are not being addressed -- and again support is not understanding.

I suspect they either have poorly implemented AI or their support team is not reading or don't care.

The entire experience has gone downhill after the RingCentral acquisition. VERY sad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
