StreamYard, The Right Tool To Build A Consistent Publishing Routine For Your Business!

Pros

  • Easy access to stream to multiple locations at the same time
  • Simple and intuitive user interface.
  • Self-explanatory. Small learning curve to be able to master it.

Cons

  • One big downside is that you can't download separate high quality video and audio files for each person in the stream.
  • The simplicity takes away from the "customization" that you could potentially have in other platforms.
  • A backroom where you could communicate with other people in the stream, without streaming it while live, would be very useful.

Return on Investment

  • Since we started the LIVE podcast on StreamYard we have added over $200k in top-line revenue. Keep in mind there are processes around this and StreamYard is just a piece of the puzzle. An important piece that allows us to be consistent.
  • It has helped us be consistent for over 200 episodes of the podcast.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Hi, I'm using StreamYard to broadcast my live interview session over my company's LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook social channels. Align events, create them for each account, manage the live session on air, and record everything is usually a pain. With StreamYard, I've solved all of them with one tool. I can program everything in advance and quickly go live.

Pros

  • Broadcasting across channels
  • Scheduling broadcasts
  • Recording broadcasts
  • Managing live comments
  • Personalize the experience with branded skin

Cons

  • Provide with a transcription service
  • Increase the interaction level with polls
  • Allow blurred background

Return on Investment

  • You are going to save a lot of time

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company actively uses StreamYard for live streaming special events, info sessions, and panel discussions. We use also StreamYard to record interviews and info sessions for our external audience. StreamYard helps us to add visuals, slides, and videos to our live streams, which make our social media appearance more professional and engaging.

Pros

  • It has an easy and comfortable interface for participants and admins.
  • It provides the opportunity to add videos, banners, and slides to your session.
  • It provides the opportunity to show live comments and answer to them right from StreamYard.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
