Thanks so much for the comment and support of the channel, truly appreciated. I have done what you’re suggesting before but it’s probably time for an updated video. Another option is to checkout my videos on Amazon kirkrnugent.live/gear.
yeah can you do a video so we can see what it will look like with 3 guest on screen at one time. every video i watched only consider the host on screen but what about the guests and the vertical format ?
Thanks so much for the comment and support of the channel. It would be a while before I can do that video but I'll add it to my content list. Can you explain further? What exactly are you looking to see demonstrated? Also would you be able to to join me on Wednesday during my live show at Noon CST and I can answer the question for you there? Let me know
Kirk…used the new streamyard layout for a recorded video…loved it, now going to set it up for different segments I do on my channel. Each one a different look. With the brand tab I can set it up and use it that way too. I love it and love your tutorials!
This is great! Question: how do I use custom layouts and screen share custom layouts, and make sure when I stop sharing it goes back to the custom one I was using? I've had so much trouble with it going back to default after "stop share."
@@TheReasonWeLearn it will always go back to the default if you stop sharing first. Trick is to select the custom layout you want to go to next and then stop sharing or don’t stop sharing…. The beauty of custom layouts is that it has only what you designed in there regardless of what’s on stage including guest. I’ve used this to include the audio from a video share without showing the video. Hope this makes sense. Happy Streaming!
This is some new age tech thinking here! I’ve subscribed before but wasn’t diligent until I needed something for a special show for my channel next week! I have some homework to do to be prepared BUT I’m excited! This should help!! 💯 Thanks 💯
Wow! this is exactly what I needed!!! what a wonderful conclusion to a long search. So glad I found your tutorial on Streamyard. Especially since this seems so easy to use with Canva. I LOVE CANVA! Your teaching style is very easy to understand and connect to. Can you do a tutorial where you showcase videos as a host? and add graphics to make it pop? so curious to see what could be done when going live. Thank you so much.
We are so glad you found our channel and we thank you for the comments and support, they help us. We’ve don’t some many videos in StreamYard and how best to use it and the features that they are releasing. I recommend checking our our playlists there are 3 or 4 that just deal with StreamYard, look at this and let me know though comments if you’re not finding what you need.
This is dope. You should sell generic Canva templates or give away for opting into your email list. What are the dimensions of your white boxes? Great work and keep them coming!
I take a screenshot of my screen that I'm going to share and then upload that to canva so I can size that the way I want and then replace it with a white square. I hope that makes sense... Not really an exact dimension but more designed to fit.
Not sure I understand the question, are you saying you want the sponsors advertisement to play throughout your live show? If so you would have to add it in to the layout of every scene you want to use in that show. I don’t recommend you do this. Play their advert once and maybe adds like to your overlay or background that says sponsored by cause you don’t want to disrupt your show flow with something constantly playing.
@CommonSenseReclaimed oh wow what an awesome message to get! I need to update this now that they have camera shapes. Thanks for the comment and support of the channel. If you havent already consider joining membership, it's $9 a month and ensures we can keep producing this kinds of content.
Kirk, that was a great video. Thanks for sharing. 🙏 Perhaps you can help clarify one point that got me confused, but I think I got it straightened out... I want to make sure I'm not missing something (which is very possible 😂)... and I'm sure there may be others in the same boat. From what I can see through my efforts the "Save new layout" is ONLY saving the location of the camera slots. So, in practical terms, the slide deck always needs to be loaded, added to the stream, and on the correct slide to work. For example, if you are in the middle of a stream, and want to change from your 2-person layout to a 3-person layout, TWO steps are needed. You have to choose the "mod 3 person layout" button AND manually change the slide to the correct slide for the 3-person layout? I kept expecting the background image would save in the custom layout... it was driving me nuts... 😂 Or did I miss something? Thanks so much. Mike.
I was fighting with that same thing. Drove me bananas!. It's a StreamYard thing though. That functionality is not there yet to save BOTH the background image used to create the layout in addition to the camera positions. A work-around I found (not perfect) was to pause the recording/stream for 5 seconds and switch to the desired Layout/Background. Saves you post-prod hassle of firing up the vid editor, finding the place where you switched layout/backgrounds, editing them out, then republishing the video 😫
Absolutely! You can add a second camera for yourself but you can have 1 or many guests in those other slots. Hopefully this is a good base that you can build on to meet your needs.
I think i followed the Tutorial step by step, but i'm probably missing a step, once i create 1st custom lay as per directions, i then go one and create the 2nd one, but what then happens is then the 1st one now changes to the 2nd one, and if i then crates a 3rd one, then all 3 changes to the 3rd one, seems like something happen, that the 1st, 2nd ones are not holding their page number of the pdf, it just dynamically adjust to what ever .pdf slide page is created the last, or which ever page is selected at the moment - it goes for all the layouts (btw, i'm testing with the free version of SY, don't know if that makes a difference) or maybe, SY has changed their layout not to allow this feature no longer?
Hard to explain in text, I’ll be sure to go over this on todays Live Show - Coaching Corner. We’ll go live at Noon CST. If you’re not able to make it I’ll come back and Poe the link here so you can watch the replay
@@kirkrnugent Thanks, i got online to late, you were already talking to the guest, thanks for taking your time out to explain, i will keep playing with it, i also made the purchase to see if the issue was the free version, however no matter how much i follow you steps, step by step, the same issue keeps coming back, the SLIDES pages (what i previously called the .pdf) are not moving along with the custom layouts. So, if I add Slide #1, to CustomLayout #1, Save that, then i see the jump backwards to the previous Layout, i then goto CustomLayout #1, Press Edit (pencil), then change to Slide2, adjust the camera slots to Slide2. then press save, change the name to CustomLayout #2, Press Save (not update) then i see the jump back to Custom Layout #1. Now is where the problem starts. If i go now to Custom Layout #1, i see the cameraslots get adjusted, as configured, but with Slide #2 in the backgroud, if i then goes to CustomLayout #2, this remains intact with Slide #, but go back to CustomrLayout #1, Still remains with Slide #2, it never changes back to Slide #1. And this continues with every custom layout i make, all previous CustomLayouts retains the Last Slide that was used, the custom layouts never retains the Slide # that was attached to it when saved... I have no clue what i'm missing or doing wrong, as i followed step by step, will keep trying 😅 thanks for your time and effort
Thanks so much for the feedback and support of the channel. No template to share this time want everyone to be creative and come up with their own. Let me know what you come up with.
Question, do you have a how to do video on going a back video ground with streamyard? I see the features saying video needs to be 1min and I believe under 3MB...I seem to now get it to work properly. please help...Thank you, in advance.
Absolutely that's one of my latest videos... Here's a link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t84CwlDqCrc.html Leave a comment if you still have questions.
I like Streamyards ease of use and presentations but it falls behind with not being able to que multiple tabs for a smoother transition during a livestream and you can only have ONE media slot verse their competition where you can have a few on screen at the same time.
There are definitely some pros and cons to StreamYard but in the web based space they are by for the most stable. Personally I use Ecamm Live for my own shows and use StreamYard and Restream for clients if needed but If I can use Ecamm for them too I do.
Kirk.......GREAT VIDEO!!! Man, I am SO glad I stumbled on your channel. This is a very complete and concise description of how this tool can be exploited in StreamYard. I really look forward toa exploring ALL of your other videos. I should also say your presentation style is both great and entertaining, while maintaining the authority necessary for a how-to instructor. My channel is Alabama Hot Sauce on RU-vid and I only wish I could be as convincing as you. Thank you so much for this information. Mr. Phil.
Yaaaaaassssss!!!!!! The best part about new functions and features is getting people to try them out. Please let me know how it goes and thanks so much for the supper of the channel.
@@SxMCommunityTV Yes. I made the custom layout have a media slot as the first layer so essentially that is the background and yes I’m adding a PDF to the studio which the custom layout automatically grabs so it’s in the background. Jays comment is that he can’t change them both at the same time and I confirmed that is correct, you must change layout and the pdf page separately. Is that what you are experiencing as well? That wasn’t clear from your earlier comment.
@@kirkrnugent Amen, well, basically i didn't see you doing that in your video, so was not aware that i have to change the slide manually (was no mention of it manually) to adjust to the camera's layout, but yes, looking at it from that angle, it's the same problem that i'm experiencing. Then my next question to you will be, how would i achieve making that change over during a live? Changing both camera/slide, without viewers noticing.
Thanks for the comment and support of the channel. I’d you’re referring to the Wilkie squares I put in Canva, they don’t have to be any specific size. You can place them however and where ever you want and then make the camera fit it in StreamYard. Hope that makes sense, let me know.
I appreciate you saying and doing. That helps. Just subscribed. As a retired educator, I am tracking to start an education-centric podcast. I know you have a large number of people, but I will attempt engage you to answer some questions.
Mr. Nugent. Even though you don't know me, I apologize for assuming you were just a shill for evmux. This one video alone has been invaluable to me. I had already designed how I wanted my custom layouts to "look," but how to make them WORK was completely different. This video taught me how to make them work. It bodes to help make my streaming a LOT simpler and LOOK better. Using your methods, Stream Deck, and a couple of macros helped make my stream look and work much better. This was a good lesson for me not to be so judgmental. You now have a new subscriber. Thanks for the evergreen content.
Oh wow thanks so much for the comment and support of the channel! I am a fan and proponent of live video no matter the platform. Just glad what we've produced is having an impact. Truly appreciated 👍
Well thank you Algorithm!!!! So glad to have you and we hope there's plenty here you find helpful on your steaming journey! Thank you for the comment and support of the channel.
@@kirkrnugent I think I will! I use it to host our company's weekly podcast, which has just gone through its second iteration. It looked a TON better until I realized you couldn't sync backgrounds with layouts, is there a better way around that? I'd love to have a specific background for our 4-6 camera spot, and then one for when we share screen.
Thanks so much for sharing that this was helpful, we have a lot of StreamYard content coming soon so be sure to check back. Thanks again for the support of the channel.
@@kirkrnugent Kirk I have a huge question. Does Stream deck change scenes with overlays and layout's together ? Is it possible for convenience when changing layouts based on number of guest ?????
@@kirkrnugent How are you changing scenes without background showing I see you changing styles and looks manually what's does that ? For example if I have 5 overlays 1 mod to 5 how can I fluently change smoothly
@@binnybrand2563 not sure I understand the question… First StreamYard doesn’t have scenes the best we have is Custom Layouts. So the process to go from one arrangement onscreen to another is very manual but I’ve been able to simplify the amount to clicks necessary with custom layouts. Can you give me the time stamp in the video where I’m doing what you’re referring to?
I have a few...
