"Best Live Streaming Platform"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

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.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

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.

"One of the Most Disappointing Experiences I’ve Had With a SaaS Tool"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

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

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

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.

"Seamless and professional live streaming made easy!"
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.

"The customer experience and customer support have severely deteriorated"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

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.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

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.

"Good for Certain Contexts But Has Limitations"
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.

"My go-to Video platform"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

I like the options I have to share my screen, and HOW to share it. I can make my face be super-imposed over the screen, or vice versa. I can be in a box on the side, or in the corner. I can make the screen show up a few different sizes. I get to pick which window online I want to show, I get to decide if I want to show something I have open in my desktop.

It is very intuirive, it is the easiest to use and least buggy platform I have tried.

Any time I wish to shoot a video of myself, with sound and have better footage captured than a selfie video, I go to streamyard. I made a lot of reaction videos with it, and have made a couple of talking head videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

Honestly, I cannot complain.

Maybe if I wanted to have more people on, it would be problematic if I was not interested in paying to do so.

I have a free account. I could get more features and space if I wanted to, but I have not needed them as yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamyard is THE choice tool for serious streamers"
What do you like best about StreamYard?

I am an author and editor who uses Streamyard weekly to conduct live panels, news breifs, and interviews with my collegues. The quality of the stream is always clear, and the controls are easy to use, even for some of my technically challeneged guests. I love that Streamyard has so many features ready for me at the click of a button. I can insert a graphic or video that's relevant to our conversation, and I can even change the way the guests are displayed on screen, like zooming into the person who is currently speaking, or allowing all guests to be displayed in a certain order and configuration. Streamyard also integrates nicely to multiple streaming services, not just YouTube. And better yet, not only can you stream to multiple platforms, you can do so all at the same time, so no picking and choosing or hopping from platform to platform, do it all in one go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StreamYard?

The downside of Streamyard is that it is difficult for some guests to use if they are on an android phone as Streamyard does not currently have an app for those users. In those cases they have to use a chrome browser and some times even using that, people do get dropped in and out of the stream. This is a feature I would like to see developed. There are many times my guests are traveling and don't have acess to other reliable methods to stream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
