Advantages of Streamyard
With so many tools for online streaming emerging on the market, what are the advantages of StreamYard?
First of all, the fact that the tool works directly from the browser greatly facilitates the process. This way, you don’t need to install external software on your computer. Todos os recursos da ferramenta vão estar disponíveis diretamente no seu navegador de internet.
In addition, the platform is surrounded by effects such as footnotes, scenario changes, insertion of featured comments simultaneously in the middle of the live, among others.
With StreamYard, it is also possible to share the screen between guests, insert logos, present a supporting material, in addition to carrying out the transmission by distributing it on several platforms at the same time.
How much does this cost?
StreamYard has 3 types of plans: Free, Basic and Professional.
The free version allows you to use almost all the features that I talked about throughout the text.
Amazing, isn’t it?
In the free plan, the StreamYard logo is displayed on all lives and you can only stream up to 20 hours of live per month on a single channel. That means you’ll have to choose whether to stream on Facebook or Instagram, for example.
However, the free version has excellent features and is sufficient for most users.
To stream on more than one platform simultaneously, remove the logo from the platform and also record the broadcast, you must purchase at least the Basic plan that costs $20 per month.
How to use StreamYard?
Using this platform in the streaming of your online event is very simple.
At first, enter your email to create an account.
The system will send a code to your email to verify that it is correct.
Enter the confirmation code and you will already be logged into the platform.
Set where your broadcast will be shown.
StreamYard’s platform is very simple, it has two main options: Broadcasts and Destinations
In our example, I chose my stream to Youtube. Then, StreamYard asks to connect to my Google account in order to access Youtube.
Notice that, after that, Youtube will already appear with one of the options in Destinations
Then you can create your first broadcast
