Streamlabs is perfect for generating multimedia content with common elements such as cell phones, web cameras, PC screens, etc. By allowing video from multiple sources to be shown at the same time, it is perfect for example for technical product demonstrations. In the scenario described, parcticity is prioritized. However, if the proposed scenario is to generate high-quality multimedia content, you should use professional equipment for video, sound and editing.

We usually recommend it to those that want to start streaming their podcasts LIVE and don't have much bandwidth for learning new software. Its simplicity is perfect for beginners. That being said, if the person we are talking to wants to be able to download high-quality video and audio files after the stream is over -for post-production reasons- we usually refer them to different software.

  • I would like to be able to change default layout via admin in some instances because for example, it’s a cropped layout for 2+ speakers by default.
  • I would like the opportunity to copy comments from the comments section (even if we need to paste it to private chat).
  • I would like the opportunity to share the link to download video with guest speakers.

Alternatives Considered
Although Adobe Premier Pro is a product for video professionals, it did not present the possibility of performing LIVE as Streamlabs, in addition to the fact that Adobe is a paid version exclusively. Streamlabs was more in line with our objectives as it is a tool aimed at the common user and not just professionals.

The StreamYard interface is more functional and easy to understand for participants, speakers, and team members. StreamYard also allows managing live streams in the app without the need to go to social media for checking comments, replying to them, etc. Simultaneously, StreamYard has many more options compared to other similar tools. For example, it allows sharing slides from different PowerPoints and screens, adding videos, visuals, and live comments with one click. Due to these options, we save time on managing live sessions and our broadcasts look much more professional and engaging.

  • It has increased the reach rate and the number of followers on social media pages, for example, on our Youtube page, the number of followers increased by 2 times the original amount.
  • It has reduced the amount of time our communications team spends on editing videos.
  • More team members are able to use StreamYard by themselves, which has allowed us to reduce the time our communications team spends on managing live sessions before.
