I would use this in a heart beat IF you could fill the vertical frame. Until that happens there’s no point

[@StreamYard]

We hear you! We are working on it :) thanks for the feature request! - Katie 🦆

[@einsteinparrot]

I agree! and a blur background would be a nice option too.

[@voicefirstworld]

Totally agree.

[@Itsmyrap]

Agreed bummer to see there’s no blur or full vertical frame. Nobody wants to watch a reel with thoes two large black bars 😅

[@osmosisreacts]

I agree

[@TheDivineIAMBroadcastNetwork]

@Streamyard, thank you so very much for all that you guys are doing, absolutely incredibly! With Love & Gratitude. 💜🙏💜

[@dentaltv]

I'm a StreamYard lover for many years now 😎🚀

Yay! Love to hear that :) - Katie 🦆

[@bambom1928hi]

Thanks streamyard your website. Is my favorite way to stream and make videos on youtube because now I record with sound

[@StreamYard]

So glad to hear that you're loving StreamYard! Happy Streaming :) ~Mylon 🦆

[@BangBMRSChannel]

Very nice Thanks for sharing

[@JohnnyBeane]

Yay!! Thank you for this awesome new feature! I'll use it right away!!

[@StreamYard]

You are welcome!! Excited to see how it gets used! :) -Eddie

[@SuccessisTheGoal]

A great new option! I'll give it a try! Thanks!

[@StreamYard]

Glad to know that you will check it out!! :) -Eddie

[@wiim]

Agree re filling up the frame. Wouldn’t use it with empty space on the top and bottom. Also, any plans to add captions?

[@StreamYard]

Hey! I will suggest this to my developers, thanks for the feedback! - Katie 🦆

[@SlateStoneMusic]

Gratitude for the update, maybe allow Streamyard users the ability to download the edited short/reel clip..that way we can further edit them and then upload and publish from SY..unless you all are looking to allow users the ability to add covers/ text/ effects etc within SY? Then inshot, Adobe exp and capcut may not be needed as much?

[@StreamYard]

Hey! You can download it using the "save" button instead of "select destinations" after you make your cut! - Katie 🦆

[@dbdowlen]

So happy about this. Can you make it where you can change the background off black, maybe using our brand colors or something?

[@StreamYard]

Great idea! I will suggest this to our developers :) - Katie 🦆

[@dbdowlen]

@@StreamYard Thanks Katie! Been a Streamyard user for years, you guys never disappoint

[@StreamYard]

So happy to hear that :) - Katie 🦆

[@LoveRevivalTvOfficial]

Very helpful thanks StreamYard

[@dawndacquisto]

🙌🏻

[@AlisterLloyd]

Thanks for the tutorial! What about creating short videos to upload onto Twitter? Would the trimming function be better for that? That is, create a short video using trimming function, download that file, and then upload it to Twitter?

[@StreamYard]

Yes, that is what you would need to do to create shorts on Twitter! Great question :) - Katie 🦆

[@pamperrytv]

This is so cool! OMG! Got my life back - saving time! LOL

[@StreamYard]

So happy to hear that! 🙂 - Katie 🦆

[@melanielightbeam]

Can you or anyone else please clarify..if you have a long video and want to cut it in 1 min reels does the editing override the original video or will it save separate videos depending on which section you cut?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Nope, it will save as its own video and will not override the full video. - Katie 🦆

[@allthingsbeautybyash]

Hello, I want to purchase streamyard to record myself "video reacting" to my old cooking show. I want to this via reels (1 min of course). Do you guys have a tutorial on how to do this? If so, can you please share me the link. Thank you.

[@lilguatealex]

Other then zooming into the timeline, would there be an option to zoom in to the video to fill the full vertical 9x16?

[@StreamYard]

Yes, we are working on that! Thanks for the feedback! - Katie 🦆

[@Mustlovehorrorfilms]

I love streamyard!!!!

[@letsbreakthesilence7]

This is amazng thanks!

[@chrispomaylivewithcdpsport5517]

Will try this tonight

[@allthingsbeautybyash]

Can I just record the reel abd download it instead of directly stream it? Thanks

[@CarolinaChris26]

I did a video going over this and showing people how it’s done. Plus I’ve been using this a lot lately.

[@JustForTummies]

This is a great new feature - thank you, but any way to get rid of the black! I pay extra to Streamyard to use my branding, but this block black colour just spoils it - uggghh! Linda

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! We are working on removing this, I am so sorry for the inconvenience! - Katie 🦆

[@lilguatealex]

Another feature to filling in the vertical is to have like points to have the video follow the speaker. Because other then that I’ll just edit videos outside of this feature.

[@StreamYard]

Hey Alex! Do you mean something like automatic keyframing for shorts/reels? - Katie 🦆

[@lilguatealex]

@@StreamYard yes couldn’t find the words for it. Would be a great feature

[@StreamYard]

Got it, thanks for that feedback! I sent this along to my developers. - Katie 🦆

[@pampalmater]

I am so happy to see you constantly expanding the utility of Streamyard. However, I already clip my videos into shorts and reels in canva to be able to try to fill out vertical video - it's not perfect by any means. Your new feature doesn't help with this problem. This new feature is not very helpful until you can record the vertical video and fill the whole vertical video clip.

[@StreamYard]

Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate it. We are definitely working on that! - Katie 🦆

[@manuprealtalk]

For those that are not familiar with canva I think this feature is very helpful. It prevents you from having to take extra steps to create that particular type of content. I appreciate the effort and the update s...I'm just waiting for the ability to stream to tik tok!!

[@StreamYard]

Yes! We hope that we can stream to TikTok soon, too!! - Katie 🦆

[@MichaelDaniels]

This would be great if you could crop your video and then slide to the part of the video you want.

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Thanks for that feedback! I will let my developers know :) - Katie 🦆

[@chrispomaylivewithcdpsport5517]

This is great

[@PSVIEWR]

Hey love the new feature, but having accessibility trouble. I can’t drag and drop with my screen reader. In the video selected, I want to watch a certain spot on time, but can’t because of this problem.

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Thank you so much for this feedback--we want to make sure StreamYard is accessible. Do you mean you can't move the slider to select a section in the video? - Katie 🦆

[@PSVIEWR]

@@StreamYard yes, screenwriter cannot drag and drop . So moving along the timeline is tough. To get a specific spot on the timeline, I have to play the video and stopping at the point . Thanks.

[@StreamYard]

Got it. Thanks for that feedback. I have sent this along to our developers :) - Katie 🦆

[@ADAMOLOGY]

QUESTION | I’m having issues getting TikTok connected to Streamyard. Please share steps

[@StreamYard]

Hi there! TikTok does not officially support streaming outside of its own mobile app. As soon as TikTok allows streaming outside of its own app, we will add it as a supported destination. You can read more about this here: support.streamyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051974452-Can-I-Stream-to-TikTok-From-StreamYard- - Katie 🦆

[@ScarifScuttlebuttPodcast]

I just tried it...a few things I noticed; yes, my horizontal video was just framed INSIDE the SHORTS frame, no biggie, I get it. Second, that particular SHORT was behaved just like a regular KZbin post and did not appear in my page's SHORTS section. Baby steps!

[@StreamYard]

Hey! Yes, we are working on the first thing, but as for the second, it should appear in the shorts section, but the shorts link does look like a youtube video post. Did you click the view on link (found when you go to Videos > find the video you made a short out of > click the three dots) ? - Katie 🦆

[@museodelosmuseos]

Genial herramienta 🔧 😀

[@StreamYard]

Gracias! :D

[@einsteinparrot]

Shorts can be less than 15 seconds. I have many shorts on KZbin that are less than 15 seconds and they get views.

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! The API that we use to post to KZbin has this limitation, but if you post directly to KZbin, it will not have this limit! - Katie 🦆

[@yebatiw..jiyutiub]

Wow

[@nurseadrianern]

Love the feature-however it’s glitchy. I’ve done 3 videos & each time it tells me it’s less than 60 secs yet when I upload to KZbin shorts they get placed in regular videos & length changes to over 60 seconds. 😮😮

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! That usually happens when you are 61 seconds and over...can you come to our support chat so we can look into this with you? streamyard.com/contact - Katie 🦆

[@MicheleJutrisa]

It would be great if you could take snippets of your video and then join them into a reel

[@StreamYard]

That's a great idea! I will definitely recommend this to our developers :) - Katie 🦆

[@AlessandraKarim]

Great new feature, but for us it's kinda useless as there's no option to adapt/zoom the screen to adapt the entire 9:16 screen, when you try to repurpose a 16:9 video

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! We hear you, we are working on fixing this! Thanks so much for your feedback. - Katie 🦆

[@CharliesAngelTarot]

How many hours of free editing does a non paying creator have per month?does that cut into the streaming time or tapping video times.

[@StreamYard]

Hey! Editing into a short/reel will not take up more space! Just tested on my free account :) - Katie 🦆

[@soberonpurpose]

With no options to fill a vertical frame, this is not useful. Hope the changes come out soon.

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Thanks for that feedback! Hopefully, we can offer that to you soon! - Katie 🦆

When is instagram going live

[@StreamYard]

Instagram is slowly opening up access to users to stream via RTMP on the desktop. To check and see if you have access, log into Instagram on a computer. On the left side of the screen, you click create. If it opens up an option to go live or to upload an image, you have access. If you only have the option to upload an image, then you don't have access yet, and we recommend to keep checking. It is a slow rollout. Hope this is helpful! - Katie 🦆

[@rayanfattalk]

Would this work with Instagram Creator accounts?
