Tip #1 - You can upload animated GIF files (e.g. countdown timer up to 60s or animated logo) Tip #2 - You can use alternate camera angles if you have a 2nd Webcam (open 2nd Streamyard browser window) Tip #3 - "The Voice of Oz" (how to have your voice when your camera isn't on) Tip #4 - The spacebar can be used as an "undo" button for your last action Tip #5 - You can use streamyard for your virtual meetings up to 10 participants (on a paid plan) or 6 participants on a free plan I think tip #2 is the coolest, but I also want to have an animated GIF logo and I'll probably end up using the first 4 tips :)
You’re super cute with your animated broadcast. Love it. I love these features. My Facebook’s hosting over 224k and I’m working diligently to keep them entertained as engaged. Using more tools will allow me to energize the audience even more using the cool perks. Thanks again for taking the time to share. Good stuff #supercute 👌🏽
Found a crazy useful one today. Was invited onto a stream and with just 2 clicks was restreaming on my 2 YT and Twitter channels. Fantastic. Canceled restream subscription. Nice!
So glad to hear you loved the spacebar tip! Were there any others that were shared that you're looking forward to using in your own streams? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Hey there! You can do this. Add yourself to the stream but turn off your camera. You can choose to enable or disable audio avatars. support.streamyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051856052-Can-I-Join-A-Live-Stream-Session-With-Just-Audio- - Katie 🦆
That space button to "undo" was a game changer because it seems simple but it is so very useful, thanks! My next goal is adding a second camera 📷✔ This tutorial helps understand the steps
We're so glad. to hear this! What type of camera are you going to use for your second camera? A spare mobile device, old webcam, something else? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Love this video!! May I ask how you filmed/ edited this particular video (with the zooms, transitions, etc)? Did you use a screen record software like Camtasia or other?
Love Streamyard, but with so many comments, I lose viewing most of them, we really need to fix this. Also, a color code or checkmark would be great to know which ones I have already put into my live stream. Thanks!
using the "prerecorded live" feature is amazing. For less spontaneous videos that I want to edit, I can still show them as Live and be active in the chatroom.
Great video! The space bar feature is cool cause I'm always fumbling with the mouse to remove someone's comment. I love the new feature of uploading more than one picture at a time to show on your stream. It used to be one at a time. Ugh.... lol. But now it's super easy. Thank you for these videos.
Glad you liked it! We also have hotkeys now as well. More on using them here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sGxtLMv2aUI.html Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Thanks for the awesome tips. Adding the second camera but controlling the audio has been an issue. Now I have the knowledge of how to adjust the settings.
Fantastic! Keep in mind, if you're bringing in another camera, such as a smartphone, you'll want to plugin a pair of old headphones to fully mute the audio. Just lowering the volume on your smartphone doesn't mute it entirely. We recommend using a pair without a mic. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Sweet! So glad you found it helpful! We have another video all about the additional cameras. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N9pNQ5O-lZQ.html
WOWWWWW MEL!!! I BEFORE I EVEN GOT INTO THE VIDEO THE QUALITY OF YOUR PICTURE IS BLOWING ME AWAY!!! AMAZING! I would LOVE to improve mine to look more polished like yours....Are you able to share what you e using??? THIS is not a regular WEBCAM or PHONE, I'm sure!
We're using a DSLR camera with a Sigma lens; however, you can achieve similar results using a smartphone. We talked about how here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y1UFIK4eMgE.html Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
@@MSRosebud7777 here are some recommendations. streamyard.com/blog/live-streaming-equipment/best-webcams-for-live-streaming/ What are you currently using for a camera? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
For the multiple camera angle hack how do you connect two cameras to your pc at once. I have an HDMI capture card that I use, but it is only single camera.
Some people use a mobile device. Plugin an old pair of headphones to mute the device audio, and then send the guest link to that device. When you click the link on the mobile device, it brings you into the studio as. second or third camera. Alternatively, some people use the ATEM Mini Pro, to switch between multiple cameras sources. Here's how you make that work. streamyard.com/blog/live-streaming-equipment/how-to-use-atem-mini-pro-with-streamyard/ Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Multi cameras with the by opening another tab on the browser is tricky. It didn't work for us at all. We opened two browser tabs in streamyard. Our main camera and mic was on browser 1. And a wide shot with muted audio was on browser 2. We were having all sorts of audio issues. We trouble shot for a while and then just bailed and went with an iphone for the wide shot. We muted the mic and plugged in headphones turned all the way down so we wouldn't hear any audio
I only use stream in private mode, then we go into the next room and play on the TV. It's easier than pulling cables . So I need a really minimal response and only YT offers that at the moment
My thoughts exactly. Not many of those around these days, so it's even more refreshing and appreciated when it happens. Thanks, Mel, and would love to hear/see more from you here with SY.
Hi does anyone know how I film myself walking, but when I want to show people something , change to the front forward camera. I keep searching but get mirroring stuff. Not what I need lol. Help.
Are you on WiFi or connected to the router directly? On StreamYard, the quality of the connection is much more important than the speed of your internet. It's best if you can plug in directly, or move the router closer to you. It will also help if you can close out of all other tabs and applications that are open on your device.
For the Sony a6400, etc you need to go into the camera settings and make quite a few adjustments to the camera - I also use the Sony aXXX line. Here are a few settings to adjust. photographylife.com/recommended-sony-a6400-settings Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Great video! - does anyone have advice on free software/browser tools for running a Live quiz in Streamyard? - hoping to involve the comment section :)
How do you change the layout to Dark Mode? So it's not so bright & phones have dark mode & it helps sooo much its unbelievable. I appreciate any feedback or help I appreciate it. 🙏
Live chat from which platform? If you set the destinations, those should then show up inside of your studio. If you're referring to RU-vid Live chat, you can check those on your channel or for your individual videos. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Can we login in 2 computer as one who is live does not play with the buttons and the other person is getting the messages description on the screen while the person is live .
You should be able to use wired, wireless or NDI mode with the Mevo camera and get it to work in StreamYard. Check under Cam/Mic settings and then under Video to switch your camera. Let us know what other questions you might have. Thanks! Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
Hello, does streamyard have a paywall solution so that people can charge to view their live stream events (something like crowdcast)? If not can you recommend some creative solutions to achieve this.
Hi there! The easiest way to hide your streams behind a "pay-wall" is to sell tickets is on Eventbrite. After setting up your tickets on Eventbrite, you have your viewers register and pay there. Then, you will stream to an Unlisted RU-vid stream from StreamYard. Unlisted means only people with the link can view. You will then send the people who bought tickets to your stream that Unlisted RU-vid link. This is the easiest way to monetize your streams, but we do plan on implementing something built in to StreamYard in the future to make this process a lot easier. 😊 -Sam 🦆
@@StreamYard thank you for explaining this. I actually purchased an annual plan 2 months ago and haven't done even one live stream because I couldn't find a solution for making charging and making the stream private. Greatly appreciated ☺☺☺
@@StreamYard logitech 922 and razer kiyo pro.....I'm using a gaming pc I got brand new this past summer.....even if I use my cell via an app....it seems one of two have bad quality when live...but not if I'm using obs....it's weird
I still can't figure out how to use it in a landscape mode. Everytime I try it it always be in a small window😪 can't even fit my face in that tiny camera.😂
Hey there! So sorry to hear this! Here's a helpful article for how to fix echo: support.streamyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/14015208551188-How-To-Fix-Echo - Katie 🦆
It's really not ok that all these things are not in yr instruction pages. Everything it does should be in the instruction pages without fail. It's really not ok if it's not.
Yes! Just be sure you plugin a pair of headphones into your smartphone. This way you don't get audio feedback from having two microphones open. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
@@StreamYard @StreamYard thank you. I introduced a friend to streamyard. He does his talk show on there but says to me that he is not seeing the comments that people post on facebook. So he has to actually look at the Facebook live itself to see comments from a different device. He doesn't always do that so sometimes he misses important comments while he is live especially when he asks questions to the audience. How can he solve this please? thank you in advance
These are no features, these are hacks. Mel, you’re truly great but c’mon, we need more real features, especially the basic! How about sharing just audio (nope, the share screen hack does not count) or sharing pictures without them being an overlay or a browser tab? Resizing logos, GIFs, name tags and comments? No? How about…something, whatever, just bring something new.
