Best Streaming Platform in the market. If you want get started for free then this is the best.
By far, the most infuriating aspect of Streamyard is how it's limited to ten users per stream, including whoever is moderating/switching behind the scenes.
At a very affordable price, in a COVID world, this is a fantastic option for making better use of live-streaming to multiple avenues like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch.
The media player maximums (length and file size) should also be expanded - currently, the video playback feature has a very small size (100mb I believe) and is limited to 1 minute.
It's user friendly, the support team are fantastic, and it absolutely is worth the money for the extra customisation features.
It was a bit grainy (but that could be any software...even Zoom). Its cost is lower than the others, but it does not integrate with as many other tools, either.
It has an amazing flexibility for branding when you stream on it, which allows you to customize pretty much everything you need. I love the way that works because it let us show what we want.
But it was likely due to issues with my Internet access. Unfortunately, I was too much of a rookie to know how to fix it while on the air (if I even could have).
The folks at Altar Live have been responsive and super helpful. They have been a delight to work with.
Initially I found some of the constraints (four people in a row, for instance) to be an irritating challenge.
I find the team supportive and helpful and responsive, and I really like what they have developed.
Our online broadcast was primarily on Facebook and it was so limiting - some people aren't on Facebook, those that are on are hesitant to comment for the entire world to see.
I love all the features of Altar Live. Especially the ability to have organized break-out rooms and the ability to assign hosts to those tables prior to meeting.
Many of our users have had trouble logging onto the platform.
The emphasis on community interaction is great. Setting up meeting rooms that we can gather in at anytime is a great addition.
I haven't used this long enough to find the things that frustrate me.
Kelly: Hi, I'm Kelly. I'm senior sales director with Mary Kay. We use Streamyard to not only train our salesforce, but also to inform our clients of our amazing products. I give Streamyard five out of five. Before Streamyard, we were using OneStream, I believe it was called. That was very difficult to use. It was not user-friendly and we weren't able to put any of the scrolling things. None of the headers. We weren't able to have multiple people on the screen. And so it just didn't work for what we needed it for so we definitely had to make a switch. We ended up going to a Streamyard because you're able to have multiple users on it one time. You're able to bring guest speakers in. And the thing that I love the most is that we're able to have scrolling banners at the bottom. So as I'm talking about a product or teaching on a subject, I can have that scrolling across the bottom or just sitting there still so that my clients or my team members can see exactly what I'm talking about. So when you get started with Streamyard, the biggest thing is making sure if you're using another platform that you give Streamyard permission to go ahead and use that platform. So, for example, we used Meta and Facebook, and so we had to make sure that we had those talking to each other. It was actually really simple. Streamyard gives very simple instructions to be able to get started using products right out the gate. So within five minutes of making the decision and getting started with Streamyard, we were able to go ahead and go live right into Facebook using Streamyard along with our banners. If you're looking at Streamyard, I would definitely go ahead, look at the competitors, but you're going to come back to Streamyard because of all the great features that it has and the ease that it is to be able to get started. Streamyard is super easy. It gives you everything that you're looking for when it comes to streaming along with communicating with people while you're live and you're able to do a whole lot of other things that makes it super simple. Streamyard is what you're going to end up choosing.
