[@jessycalewis9758]

I had a guest come into my live stream and I couldn't here him. I have a Boya microphone that I had to unplug and speak through the computer. What do you recommend here? Also do you have to manually click on the countdown or does it do it automatically. If I am asking interview questions is there a way to have those display for both parties verses looking down and notes? Thank you?

[@GuardianPrepping]

Hey there :) I hope someone can assist, I just finished my stream but it did not upload it on my channel, how long does it take for the video to be uploaded by Streamyard onto my channel? :) Love you guys!

[@exceptionallivingwithdr.ap6264]

If you want to use streamyard to pre-record and then upload to "live stream". How do you do that?

[@ThatBackYardLifeHWGAC]

Thanks for sharing, most helpful information I’ve ever gotten in just 20 minutes 👏🏽

[@TheFallibleMan]

Can I use this to just record my interviews without live streaming it then post the video? I am not ready to livestream, but I hate zoom.

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

When I first started my channel, I was skeptical of how difficult it was to continuously push out content Every. Single. Week. I had sleepless nights, the money I spent on filming equipment seemed like a waste, and I overall had no motivation to grow this channel... but I kept focused. Not only did I listen to the feedback, I learnt from my mistakes, focused on a niche and, most importantly, stayed consistent. Now... my channel is thriving more than I ever expected. If I can do it, you can too!

[@officialWWM]

ThreeTwentyTech thriving? You have 1200 subs :/

[@karenaxalan9737]

Thanks for sharing your journey! It has encouraged me.

[@realrussclarke]

Keep working it ignore the haters

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@realrussclarke I receive hate comments everyday and guess what I do? Keep making better videos! How is your channel going, bud?

[@realrussclarke]

@@ThreeTwentyTech just started but excited

[@ajab7430]

Any small youtuber here Your videos help a lot 👍

[@karenaxalan9737]

Me! I just officially uploaded my first vlog.

[@RishabhNabar]

It's great to see new and fresh youtubers here in the comments....so refreshing to see so many people start KZbin! ▶️

[@AmplifywithLynette]

Date is 30 June 2024. This is one of the best tuts I’ve seen. Thank you for helping me make my maiden livestream seamless. I am grateful.

[@Jennifer_Cruz]

This video was EXTREMELY helpful! I'm preparing to do my first livestream using StreamYard and this was so thorough and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@FitLifeMedia]

Considering that I just created a stream yard account on yesterday this video came right on time 👏🏾✊🏾

[@karenaxalan9737]

Ohhh, so that's how Sean was doing the Zoom In and Zoom Out with his presentations. I often thought," Wow, I would like to know how to do that". Now, I know Streamyard is the answer! I love it. Thank you, Tony, for walking us through! I appreciate it!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You're welcome! glad i was helpful. - Tony

[@karenaxalan9737]

Keep it up!

[@vidIQ]

I feel like 75% of the tutorials I watch on KZbin are about streaming these days 🙌

[@gdawg6785]

Yoo what’s up vidiq

[@nightmaresanyone]

Tony! First off I wanted to tell you this video was the BEST tute for me to watch the day AFTER my first LIVE Stream using Stream Yard.....yes, we had a ball, but the audio was a disaster! lol. I have learned what went wrong, how to fix it and make the next one flawless! Thanks so much for sharing this 'so easy (and 100% worked as shown) to follow and learn video! This is why you guys are my Tech Teachers! Richard from Nightmares, Tears, Anyone?

[@TheMentalHealthToolbox]

Thanks Tony! I am a little late to live streaming game, but I am ready to level up and start streaming. Went all in with Streamyard with your affiliate link; time to Zoom to bed. Can't wait to try this out and see how the viewers respond to a live, especially live Q&A podcast 😀

[@ChuckDeezy]

Great video! Can you have someone else control the features like bringing on a guest, overlaying comments, monitoring chat, so your host can focus on hosting? I'm assuming two people would have to log into the account in order to do so?

[@SilverLiningsAngela]

Thanks Tony ! What software are you using for your countdown timer please?

[@krystaortuno9773]

when connected to 3 destinations (linkedin, FB page, and FB personal) will you see all comments from those 3 destinations in the comments section of stream yard?

[@LadyS723]

THIS STREAMYARD TUTORIAL WAS GOLDEN 💫⭐

[@clatham2567us]

Thank you for the super detailed info... just got StreamYard and was muddling through it on my own until I got stuck. Your video helped a ton!

[@JeffDaytonMusic]

ABSOLUTELY the best Streamyard video of all. Thank you for getting me off OBS!

[@bevyjay2193]

Great tutorial. Most are overloaded with jargon that dettered me from even trying it out. Thank you for your elementary explanations.

[@buildersedge888]

Hi Tony. Thank you for posting this video. You did a fabulous job on it! I have a few questions. If I wanted to record a Streamyard video instead of doing it "live", I suppose that's an option, eh? I would think that would also be a great way to practice using some of the different options you talked about (i.e. adding comments, changing the background, switching back and forth from Screen Share to only one active screen). You guys at Think Media are the best. I think this tutorial is even better than the ones I watched that Streamyard did on their own product. Anyway, thank you again.

[@Javster]

Great vid bro - you're very likeable. Just started with Streamyard 2 days ago... and it all seems pretty intuitive once you get a few streams under your belt. The question i have is if it's possible to use your avatar along with the leaf/blue/etc backgrounds that show up when you take yourself off the screen, share a screen or have a guest. So far, Im only able to have a solid black background when i show my avatar pulsating to the sound of my voice. Thanks!!

[@amronsilva-digitalmarketin2844]

Just completed 2 months on KZbin, Thank you so much Think Media ✨

[@niwayantucson1400]

Me too

[@DisturbiaTrueCrime]

This was awesome! I have my first Live tomorrow and have never used StreamYard before. Thank you so much.

[@vancedance12]

Always find your content inspiring and value filled! Just getting my channel rolling! Hope everyone has an amazing day and keep following your dreams! 😀

[@CreativeEye1]

Hi Think Media...enjoy your channel. New to Streamyard...so still learning. But I have a question....I haven't seen anyone cover this or if it's possible. I want to make a little more dynamic.....so if I have 2 to 3 guests on a stream and I am using overlays. If I switch to a solo few or a different few....is there a way to have the overlays change with the switch to a different view?

[@CalebOliver]

Great Job Tony and the Think Media Team for all of the awesome tips! Everyone reading this is going to crush it in 2021! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Boom! Thanks! - Tony

[@beyondwordz1813]

thank you so much for this video, VERY insightful. my questions are: 1 : how do you know if people have joined. i am ready that there is a viewer count appearing top left, is this right? i could not see it during my event. 2 : in looking at the recording, no audio came through, despite it being setup well. what could have happened here? 3 : is hte video automatically shared on linked in once the live is over? if people click on the passed events?"

[@leadinged3220]

Great tutorial! Thanks for the tips. Now I see there is the option to "Automatically add share screens/videos to stream". Do you recommend selecting this option?

[@munachimsombachu1500]

Thanks for this value. Am so happy watching this video but I couldn't see the link to share to my viewers. How do my viewers join the webinar without the link? I will love to hear from you. Thanks so much

[@ginjaninja3627]

So can you pre-configure multiple visual layouts and have them cued up in order at the bottom of your window? It looks like you can. But, can, instead of having to use the mouse, is there a way to cue those layouts during the stream with KEYBOARD KEYS? That would a big feature request if you don't have that yet.

[@Yinkapraysonline]

Thank you. Streamyard is easy, weasy, the best and thanks for the tutoria.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad you like it!

[@Mind-BlownMoments]

hello

[@motivationiverse]

The way how you explained was perfect very informative clear and the tone of voice is warm.. Thank you job well done.. 👊👊👊

[@SY-sp8uo]

Think Media gives so much value, don't you think?

[@karenaxalan9737]

Yes, they do! They convinced me to start posting videos on my KZbin channel. So here I am starting messy and starting before I'm ready, then binge-watching their past and present videos. It's really helpful!

[@DullHumansClub]

I agree completely!

[@hnasr]

sooo much value!

[@NuevaVillaRecords]

Facts!! God❤Love

[@ignacedhont9816]

Indeed!

[@NicoleHernandezzz]

Thanks for the tips! You guys helped me start my channel ❤️❤️

[@karenaxalan9737]

Same here. I came across Think Media, and it convinced me to start uploading videos on KZbin. Here I am starting before I'm ready and starting messy, but I'm learning each step of the process.

[@LivingTheRosieLife]

Thank you for all of this info! How do we set up a countdown, so that it auto counts down? We are finding we have to go live, then click 'countdown' in order to get that going. Is there an auto option?

[@SKMMEDIA7]

Today is my first time joining this

[@everythingarsenaltv]

This is amazing Tony 🔥 Been using StreamYard for close to 7 Months now but Problems are always experienced from time to time especially with audio so this was pretty helpful! ✅

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks Glen! One of the things that was added even after the taping of this video is the ability to adjust the volume of your guests mic. if you click the three dots on their thumbnail you can now adjust their volume if they are too loud or quiet. -Tony

[@sustainabilityspeaking7817]

Next day since this excellent video was posted by Tony, so today is the15th. I wanted to review this video again. And I made a comment, but what stands out is your audio work. Masterful work. This video will serve well, too, because I had interest in live streams, but shelved that concept, because I thought it would be to much. Tony put a descriptive blanket around everything to expect and how to proceed. I'm confident I was very well informed. Thanks again Tony

[@VincitDesignCo]

Super super helpful! I've been really interested in figuring out the workings of streamyard so this was exactly what I needed!

[@Mind-BlownMoments]

hi

[@terencemartin15]

Awesome training, I will give it a try tonight.

[@RoySFord]

So Glad you posted this! This really helps.

[@DaDisneyBaker]

Tony was Totally on Point. So Helpful. I have been scrolling think media for the past couple days. Trying to get my stuff together try to start a channel & livestream. This was very helpful! TTFN.

[@earlbarron4491]

Couple questions. Do you have to stream on Stream yard or can I record add my text and save to uploads later? Can I export my audio only to be uploaded to a podcast?

[@gosmall.livelarge]

Love this!! Thx a ton. Live-streaming software is so confusing. This made it more real.

[@LostIn]

Great tutorial 🥸

[@casawalters]

Super helpful video! Thank you! How would I get a slide presentation to upload to SY? Is this available with the screen share? Trying to figure this out before doing my first broadcast with this platform.

[@RoxiieSays]

Great video! Would this be a good option to only record a video get all of the benefits of an screen share, logo watermark, overlay etc. and then make edits and upload as a regular video as opposed to going live?

[@dustinschimek1160]

This was a great video, thank you for putting this together!

[@shacklesoff]

Thanks, I am excited to use it for the first time today.

[@Disheartened6]

Hey! This is for anyone. I was just wondering about audio? What if someone you were interviewing is not tech savvy & just uses their phone or laptop audio? Is it good enough? Can you use something like CleanFeed or any other options if need be?

[@msclover9279]

shout out tony. i watched your whole video about streamyard & i just want to say thank you for the knowledge you shared on how to use just like me a newbe youtuber.

[@PinPawnChess]

Saving this video for later, thanks as always :)

[@DearWokeChristian]

So much good stuff here. I am trying to better use my elgato with Streamyard. Looking forward to getting better.

[@chidinmaoguike6181]

Nice tutorial. My Questions: 1) is it when i have gone live that i will be able to see viewers comments? 2) Can i send the link to my guests through the private chat?

[@yourvasquad]

Wow, great and very thorough tutorial Tony!

[@chanellewrites]

Just started and this is already so helpful! Appreciated!

[@TJ_Beam]

Would you recommend streamyard for recording interviews for future videos? I run another channel and we want to start an interview show but they won’t be live. What would you recommend for these types of videos?

[@theneurophaniapodcast8813]

Hello ! few questions about streamyard live videos; If I do live videos directly into FB or youtube, will I be able to still download those videos/sound and do those videos stay in the platform? this is extremely helpful!!

[@maryslifestyletv]

i really learned so much listening to you. the first time i tried using it, it didn't go well but i'll give it another try🙏. i have subscribe to your channel

[@daniellaoyaga]

Awesome video!!

[@bzconsultants]

Thanks for the informative video. How do you hook up an external digital camera as your main camera (instead of webcam) and have audio flow throw mic (Yeti)?

[@andrebamboowatts]

This is a very informative video. Definitely needed. Thank u 😊

[@nicoleholmes3937]

i'm preparing for my first live stream. Can you explain how to have your guest in the waiting room before bringing them on screen?

[@johnragaistreetfood]

Thank you, Tony. I am just grabbing the rope of Streamyard.

[@RecuperaciondeAtracones]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much!!! So simply explained, I was struggling with other videos on how complicated they seemed. Good job! :)

[@roselabudon7571]

Thank you so much StreamYard

[@LilCraftyNook]

This was great!! Thank you so much Tony!!😃🙌🏻

[@ThinkMediaTV]

My pleasure!! Glad you liked it. -Tony

[@eboasso]

Clear! Helpful. great job. Thank you!

[@thedigitalleap8745]

Hey ! Amazing video, Is there a way to edit what the layouts are like? For example, I would like to show my video at the top right and not the bottom left when I am sharing my screen + sharing video

[@horrorandmorror]

great video but I have a question, if I hit the countdown button will I instantly go live?

[@HandmadebyDiana]

Hi , i know this is an older video, but i am just starting to learn about streaming through stream yard, so had to search How to on youtube LOL, i do have a question though, i use "dark mode" on youtube and FB, does stream yard have a dark mode option, instead of the white screen?

[@AnaMuriel]

Thanks for all the tips! Which one is the best for the Free Account? StreamYard, Restream or Melon App?

[@eproberts1]

I've had restream forever and a day, is this better than that? I see it may be a lot cheaper simultaneously ?

[@DrGretaGolf]

Great video- provided tons of great info as I prepare to start incorporating lives/webinars into my video formats. ???? Question: I will def be using Streamyard fir my live streams, but do you think it’s smart to broadcast to two destinations as a rookie with Streamyard???? Or should I start with one (FB or YT) and then grow into multiple destinations?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad it was helpful! We have done both before. It really depends on your audience and I'd really encourage you to prioritize one platform.

[@alexandratraka2763]

That was an amazing video Tony...thank u so much....!!I do have a question when it comes to a co host....Can we both shown "live" on our FB profiles, or just me??Is there a way to both shown "live" on our profiles??

[@mellierecana]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on using streamyard.

[@theinspiredtourist]

How do you pre-record and post later? Also is it difficult to invite someone in for an interview?

[@BrianUllmann]

Great vid! Any tips on how to find a usable countdown video?

[@merlindaclarosvlog1155]

Thank you so much Tony I’ve learned a lot at your tutorial video

[@nuzkhan999]

This tutorial is awesome but one thing needs to be added that when you are done with live stream then how to end the live stream on your destination but still stay in the studio?

[@jasonmhayes]

Great Video! Do comments posted in the live stream show up in the replay?

[@ItsJamesandMark]

Yes! Anything you highlight during the stream will show up if you click on their comment.

[@MikiYork]

Awesome thanks for the help. Going to record my first video tomorrow on streamyard

[@sethhouser7476]

Great video. Is there a way to download the audio from a stream to edit and use for a podcast?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Yes! You can download the audio only of your "Past Broadcasts"

[@rupan46]

hi helpful info thank you, after uploading video clips to streamyard can you able to re arrange their position?

[@Theplangill]

thank you for making this, I found this helpful

[@hillcountrycinematics314]

Question: what settings do I need to have in place to join a Live Stream. Suppose I’m invited to join a stream in progress. Anything particular that I need to have in place before joining? Thanks

[@1000thGhost]

This has been VERY helpful!!! Thank you! I feel I have a handle on setting up my next stream now.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Great video Tony thanks for all the tips I also watched the one Sean did on streaming to KZbin I just got my microphone and upgraded my streamyard account and I'm going to do my first live stream this Saturday hopefully.

[@selfworthgroup4361]

Thanks Think Media for your valuable videos!

[@MehulShaRma]

Just a Suggestion that can you also do a Tutorial for OBS as well if you can? pls im asking you as this Channel is Amazing :) that's why.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You're definitely not alone in wanting an OBS tutorial!

[@MehulShaRma]

@@ThinkMediaTV ya so can u pls do a video on it 😊

[@KE010101]

Great explanation of Streamyard.

[@JessieOpportunityCostInvesting]

My channel brings all the streams to the yard, and their like, it ain't that hard, and their like, you're gunna go far

[@ThinkMediaTV]

10/10 for Creative Comment

[@JessieOpportunityCostInvesting]

@@ThinkMediaTV 😅 Thank you!

[@dosomethinggreattoday]

Do you recommend using OBS with Streamyard or just straight through stream yard

[@samanthastewart7133]

Should I have a schedule ahead of time before I go live with stream yard Should I live stream on a computer or a tablet

[@joeyrodriguez6794]

Great video! QQ: What's your recommendation on how long the countdown clock should be before coming onscreen for a FB Live or KZbin Live?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Good question! For Facebook I usually do a 10minute one because it takes around 3-4 mins before the notification to go out and then a few more mins for people to join, but for KZbin we go live instantly because we schedule them ahead of time. Hopefully that helps
