StreamYard Free vs Paid 

Thank you for your kind comment. That is funny you mentioned the number of folks on screen.... I had that in there. Then I took it out on editing. I was really trying to do a video on comparisons vs features. So I took a few of the SAME comparisons out. And thank you for all you do as well. We need to get you on our show soon

Of course. I love helping folks out. Glad it helped you

Michael Daniels keep the content coming.

So glad it helped you. Be sure to share with others that you know are starting to stream

@@MichaelDaniels Yes will share with my group. Also I have like and subscribe to your channel too! Stay awesome bro! 😆👍

@@DoctorTristanPeh thank you for your kindness

Thank you for that info

That was very nice of you. Thank you for the compliment

Yes, I have a green screen. It works great. you can search my channel to see a video I created on doing a cheap green screen

@@SuppTalk yes it is costly. Hope it helped

my pleasure for sure. I have a complete playlist for streamyard videos I made

Great point! I choose to not be an affiliate on twitch for that exact reason. Yes, thank you for bringing this up for folks that do have an affiliate twitch account

So glad it helped you

Since this is a newer feature, I probably need to do an update. I am not totally sure whether the audio can be split in the free version

That's what I was thinking too. Twenty bucks a month for my logo on the screen?! Oof...

When you use restream you cannot comment within StreamYard. Only a single broadcast you can reply back in Streamyard. I open Restream, open the comments in browser and you can add comments there. Hope that is what you were asking

@@MichaelDaniels yes. That makes sense. Thank you.

First off join our private community to learn how to do all these cool things. Join for a month then leave if you want. That being said I use camtasia to make my videos. I use epic pen when I do live demos. I use zoom all the time.

Of course! I love doing these videos. I am always trying to help folks out. Be sure to subscribe! Thank you for the kind words

this tool is for live streaming. there is no editing the video using streamyard. I personally use camtasia for this.

You would have to come in a second time on a different device. That would be the only way to have the second camera, natively on streamyard. I say natively because I can do that using OBS or other virtual cameras

Michael Daniels in BeLive.tv Studio2 it allows at least two cameras natively into the studio. I haven’t tried three yet!?

Thank you for your kind words!! Glad it helped

You can use OBS virtual camera as your camera inside of the free version of streamyard. I hope that answers your question

@@MichaelDaniels Thank you sir, Did you see the new version now has 4 virtual cameras? That is really cool

@@Website-Developer not sure what you mean about 4 virtual cameras?

I can only give my opinion. It really depends. Advantage StreamYard: You can stream to 2 places for $20 month plan. 5 places for $39 month. So they have an advantage in that the multiple facebook places where restream cannot. Atvantage ReStream: You can stream to 30 places Free. just can't to multiple youtube accounts or multiple facebook accounts without paying more. Also, restream has a GREAT bot for bringing chat into both RU-vid and Twitch.... THIS is awesome for my audience (where most of my followers are). If everyone you have following you is on Facebook.... then maybe StreamYard is the way to go for you. Hope that helps! If you want check out our private community and learn all about this kind of stuff.

@@MichaelDaniels Thanks again. Does Restream give you the ability to control comments on YT Live? Who/What so they aren't public during the stream?

Thank you for the compliment. I am not sure what you mean by monitoring. If you mean streamyard to show the whole video section or pop out chat.... Then no, you cannot do that. It is what it is

Yes you can download the RU-vid video. Usually it gets rendered in about 48 hours (usually sooner). when in RU-vid Studio you can hover to the right of the video thumbnail and click the 3 dots. one of the choices will be download.

@@MichaelDaniels Thanks for the reply! So you think you can download the stream yard recording, from youtube, and then I could use it in a membership course for example?!

Yes you certainly can. I have a private community that I do a Zoom Daily Tip teaching folks "something" . I record straight to RU-vid unlisted (You can do the same in streamyard). Then that is everygreen in my paid community all members can go see those videos. You can download it though!

So glad it helped you

DSLR with a capture card, most any webcam. If chrome can recognize it, it can be used

yes. when you go into the studio. you will see at the top right where you are broadcast to ie' Facebook or RU-vid. click the down arrow and it will say view live stream ( or something like that ). then click there. you then copy the URL of the live stream and copy and paste that to whoever you like

Do glad you liked the video. Yes. As a matter of fact I use voicemeeter. I have used it for 7 years now

I created this video using camtasia. Is that what you mean?

Michael Daniels yes thank you.

@@iQamarAmerica you bet. Thank you for your kind words

Thank you for your nice comment

Thank you for your kind words

You bet. Let me know if you have something else you would like to learn about

Hey you can post individual comments. You would have to screen capture that side of your screen using another program like OBS in order to bring in the commenting. But it's only going to copy whatever you have up on screen. Why do you not want RU-vid comments?

Michael Daniels I don’t want to show the comments that are removed or held for review by my moderators in the stream. I’ve watched other live streams and I dint see those type chats in the stream.

@@HodgepodgewithAngela So you saw other live streams using STREAMYARD? where you did not see those comments? This video is about StreamYard, and it has where you can bring up only the comments you want. If you want to show all your comments just flowing on screen from your RU-vid then I would suggest turning on Top Chat instead of Live chat, I think that may be what you are referring to. If not, maybe reach out to me via my email on my channel with specific details or join our Tiknkering with Tech community where i help folks with Tips, Tricks and Workshops. Thanks

Watch time on RU-vid is just RU-vid. Facebook and RU-vid do not work together. Facebook does not like anyone else.

@@MichaelDaniels thank you very much for the feedback.

You bet!

Voicemeeter is the program I use. It works well

I don't use a group so I am not sure. I think you have to enable something in the Facebook settings. Check it the FAQ I'm the streamyard website, I think in your account area.

There is no way to add music with streamyard alone. I add music by using a product called voicemeeter. Be careful adding music, the copyright strikes can be harsh.

I use camtasia

Audio program? Not sure I mention it

@@MichaelDaniels you just have it on the background... I can tell if it is an equalizer or like virtual DJ... I guess its to handle audio outputs during the streaming right? Thanks Man.

@@fernandomuniz5687 I use voicemeeter banana

For the paid account, yes. Keep in mind you have to be the owner of the two account. Or a manager that you are allowed to have access. Hope that answers your question

@@MichaelDaniels thank you 👍

Glad it was helpful! for the free version you only have one destination at a time live. You can set up as many destination you like. hope that helps

I could have had too many things running in the background. Or if we had many things connected in the house, that could have caused the issue.

That is a great question you may want to ask there support to get a current answer. I believe that the only recording during the broadcast is your destination. Then once done, The recording will be listed in past broadcasts. I do believe this is for paid accounts

If you mute your camera, it puts up an Avatar. If that is what you are talking about

@@MichaelDaniels No, not exactly. I would still be able to participate in the chat, but instead of the video from my webcam, I could place a picture or logo in its place. I'm not talking about the Streamyard logo either I'm talking about instead of me on the screen via webcam I could place a picture in my video webcam's place. I see people on RU-vid do it all the time. I use to easily do it with google hangouts before they got rid of it.

@@imjustadude5910 interesting... I have been on Hangouts forever. I thought when you mute your webcam that your Google account Avatar would show up? So you are saying we could customize an image to show when we muted our webcam.... Or we could enter with an image instead of our video camera? That is very interesting for sure

@@MichaelDaniels I recently sat in someone else's live recently and their screen just had a logo og which looked to just be their Google avatar like you mentioned. So thanks to you I now know that they just muted their camera so they didn't have to be seen via video and we were just seeing that avatar instead. Although I prefer to see someone's face while engaging on their live but to each their own. So my question is, can you mute the camera in the both the free and paid version? I loved this tutorial, alot of people told me they prefer this over streamlabs. Look,forward to hearing from you and thank you. ;)

@@DonnelleGriffin yes you can mute in a free account as well as a paid account. Keep in mind, if someone joins and they don't have an account then you just see their text name. If they have a stream yard account then you would see the Avatar associated with their account

Thanks, will do!

That is a great question. I believe I might just have to do a more current one. Thank you for watching

@@MichaelDaniels thank you for the vid! Im going to test it out this weekend.

@@ThisIsJessPaul fantastic!

Glad it helped

On the free version or paid, you can add a ticker video. I do it on almost every show. You just have the restrictions on the size of the beginning video. However if you look on my shows like the game show I can do and play as long as I want because I use a free service called obs to do a virtual camera on screen. I teach this stuff in our community, come join for a month if you like

Do you have a green screen? If so then you go into mic and camera settings then you choose green screen. You may have to turn on acceleration in chrome

@@MichaelDaniels All this is new to me how do i get a green screen where would i find that setting?

@@anagarcia501 I think in my last reply I told you. When you enter broadcast Studio you see Cam/Mic, that is settings. Then your choices are Camera, Audio and Green Screen. You do have a physical Green screen behind you right? you will need that for this to work.

@@MichaelDaniels I Apologize Michael It's hard for me to comprehend It's been a struggle throughout my life. Thank You

@@anagarcia501 no need to apologize. Hope it helped

Do you mean a thumbnail for your avatar when you mute your video? Or are you talking about the thumbnail during setup?

Thumbnail for the RU-vid video when it gets posted to your channel.

@@nexxlevel6427 yes when you schedule for later.... Otherwise it uses your channels art work. So schedule for 5 minutes from now and you can add the thumbnail.

@@MichaelDaniels Ok so does it give an option somewhere to set it? Thank you btw Micheal, I really appreciate you helping.

@@nexxlevel6427 yes. When you click the checkbox to schedule the event. You then have an option to add the thumbnail

Glad this helps you

I am not sure. You would have to contact their support

@@MichaelDaniels I mean add a card to use the basic i must debit card

@@ntaneiei6703 I understand. I have no idea what payment methods they take. You would have to try and say!

@@MichaelDaniels Got it 👍👍

That is true. I usually don't because prices can change but you can find it here streamyard.com/pricing

@@MichaelDaniels Thank you!

@@DjPositiveP you bet

So glad. It is out dated at this point, there are new things. I might need to create a new video.

Any thoughts on what free platform I should start with. In these times I’m (we) looking to restart what used to be music with guests out of our living room, house band and guests. We did this in the late 90s (RealAudio). No jamming now of course, but we want to get multiple artists together weekly with Gordy as “Emcee”, reading comments aloud to musical guests, song requests etc. We can’t really use youtube because a lot of folks play covers not just their own music. It was a great community back in the day, now it can be even larger. We don’t have money and we aren’t looking for revenue, just music and community..help? Thank you again for your video above!

@@zoegillman6692 I think streamyard is a good start for sure. You can get fancier down the road. And streaming for free.... Streamyard is really a good choice

You are welcome. Please feel free to watch more. I have a streamyard playlist that might be of interest as well

You would go to your profile and add the next tier

ok

Go to your streamyard account and go to billing streamyard.com/account/billing

thank you

No problem. Glad it helped you

ok

very nice congrats

Great question. You can screen share your game screen of your computer. But there is no way to add it like you would using streaming software like OBS

@@MichaelDaniels oh ok thank you

You bet

If you click the top right in your profile you can pay for stream yard

I am in the streamyard community that streamyard uses. Feel free to add any of my helpful videos to the Global group. Thanks

Thank you. I love doing videos that help others
