You'll do amazing!

[@AndeLyons]

Hoooooraaaaaay!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@HomeServiceBusinessCoach]

Very helpful - thank you

[@StreamYard]

Glad it was helpful! Are you streaming vertically?

[@DMVMTB]

so COOOOOOLLLLLL! thank you

[@carlosdevis]

[@Bermudaoficial]

Do you have to flip your camera ? Or the program will do it

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! You do not need to flip your camera. - Katie 🦆

[@kamichat]

So happy to see this is happening. It's a missing piece for us.

[@ZAKtalksTECH]

I can't wait to try this!

[@StreamYard]

Thanks ZAK! Let us know how you like it! :D

[@kroqfan001]

can you change to a vertical orientation on StreamYard?

[@durhamskywriter]

So, you have to click Go Live twice on SY to get the livestream going. After doing so, is there an awkward period while you’re clicking around on IG, starting the stream and muting the tab, all while streaming? Or would you suggest clicking Go Live on SY, clicking around on IG, and then returning to SY for that final click on Go Live?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! It's definitely a bit clunky right now; we hope this changes soon! Here's a helpful article we wrote to break down the process: support.streamyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043298812-How-to-stream-to-Instagram-using-StreamYard - Katie 🦆

[@kaeluhlee321]

Hi! Does the screen share feature work when streaming to IG?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Yes, you can screen share on desktop, not mobile! - Katie 🦆

[@HLD1]

Great Video Dana. I was hoping you may create a Video on how to multi-stream on KZbin and Instagram in detail. This is a must for me to share with both my unique audiences on both platforms. Please HELP!!!

[@Livingtheglobe]

FINALLY!

[@normagee]

awesome 😎

I tried it a couple of times - I was live on Instagram, Facebook and KZbin (all at once) but people on Facebook and KZbin told me the audio was bad (it was breaking up a little). It never happened before. So I had to restart the livestream without Instagram and the audio was fine again. Do you have any ideas why it happened or how I can solve it? 😥

[@StreamYard]

Hey right now we are waiting on TikTok to open that availability :)

[@StreamYard]

Hey! we have some suggestions for muting in this article to help support.streamyard.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043298812-How-to-stream-to-Instagram-using-StreamYard

I had the same issues with my sound. It’s new and I’m hopeful they will improve the sound quality.

[@LetsTalk1931]

Love it

[@joyricherson4570]

Why can't the comments come through from IG? Will this change to prevent having to flip screens during the live?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Unfortunately, it is impossible to see comments inside your StreamYard studio when using Instagram Live. To see comments, you would need to keep the stream window open on Instagram to see them directly there. This is because, to stream to IG currently, you need to use custom RTMP, which doesn't allow the comments to come through to SY. Hopefully, this will change in the future! - Katie 🦆

[@willhamer4516]

Good luck job. Woody

[@vasugarg2293]

Whenever you hit go live, there is a few seconds gap in which insta recognizes the broadcast and shows it in preview. So everything you basically say is delayed by few seconds which is not realtime.

[@ChintaMukti]

Tnq

[@SultriAccess]

I trred to do practice mode but i couldn't see it on instagram's end. I was successful with getting to the portrait mode in streamyard. what did i miss?

[@GirlfriendsTeawithSebrina]

AWESOME...!!

[@mybourbonjourney]

It would be nice to feel as though those of us who pay $25 per month get something a little special. To be honest, It feels like the free plan is basically the same. Maybe throw us a bone once in a while, too. Everything cool goes right to the $50 plan. Come on, guys!

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! We totally hear you--thanks for that feedback. So you know, streaming to IG is available for all plans, not just the Professional plan! - Katie 🦆

[@LucyHaloPaws]

Same😥 I have a small channel but when I saw this post from streamyard I got so excited that I can now stream to Instagram as well as KZbin… I mean I do pay every month for streamyard. It has to be available to me right!? Well not so much I guess😭 OK that’s my rant back to work.

[@mybourbonjourney]

@StreamYard thank you very much!

[@StreamYard]

Yes you should be able to do this, did you have issues when you tried?

[@LucyHaloPaws]

@@StreamYard Thank you for replying I appreciate it! So sharing on Instagram is an option with the $25 plan? That is the one I have. I thought in this video it was said the professional plan which is $50?

[@PrSergioSoares]

O perfil poderia traduzir para o português aki, a mulher fala muito rápido, quase não dá pra entender aki

[@profarenatacorreaempreende3672]

Colocar legenda em português. Eu consegui no vídeo dela.

[@StreamYard]

Ei! Sim, você pode clicar no ícone CC, depois clicar no ícone de engrenagem, clicar em "Legendas/CC", clicar em "Traduzir automaticamente" e depois clicar em "Português"! - Katie 🦆

[@VendaPRO]

Is possible to schedule a live in instagram?

[@StreamYard]

Yes you can :)

[@Jaytalkscrypto]

mine doesnt offer switch to professional?

[@REDTVCanada]

This is a great feature. I've just tried it now for the first time ... the stream seems to have a delay of about 10-seconds, which makes it quite confusing to watch or monitor via the Instagram app. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Is it something that I am doing wrong or is this simply the nature of the stream to the app? Would appreciate any feedback.

[@bfyre1]

nope there isnt a fix to it yet, i would recommend letting the viewers know there will be a 10 sec delay to the replies of their comments just so they will not feel like your ignoring them, if they dont comment then have nothing to worry about.

[@CowboyKev]

Can we have other accounts join our lives while using this set up?

[@StreamYard]

You can invite guests on.

[@omar.viewcode]

Hello, is it possible to create videos in Arabic because we have very little information in Arabic content regarding Streamyard? Thank you.

[@Kazi_ly]

Wait so- we need to have a computer for this or- cuz i want to go life outside when I'm bored and usually i only use my phone or iPad.

[@StreamYard]

You can use your phone, too! We recommend having access to a good WiFi connection. - Katie 🦆

[@vancouversunny77]

Done the list of Live Stream, 12 videos

[@befearlesspodcast]

Will this work with prerecorded content?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Yes, it does! You will still need to manually start it on IG though. - Katie 🦆

[@lovechildtv]

what’s keeping you all from making the process as simple as the other destinations?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! These are IG limitations; hopefully, it will be simpler to stream to IG in the future! - Katie 🦆

[@TheMuDojo]

Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I tried a few times, following this to the letter, and... it doesn't work. No video shows up on IG... (I have a creator account and you say Creator or Business profiles would be work). No-one else seems to have this issue so what am I missing?

[@chrispomaylivewithcdpsport5517]

How do you get this to work???

[@DJRonnieRonWeeklyTop10Videos]

So we will not be able to see comments in Streamyard and post them like the other platforms, but can we see them on Instagram through another device?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Yes, because it technically an RTMP connection. - Katie 🦆

[@DJRonnieRonWeeklyTop10Videos]

@@StreamYard ok thanks one more question can the guest do the same thing on their end to broadcast on instagram?

[@StreamYard]

Do you mean to broadcast to their Instagrams? - Katie 🦆

[@DJRonnieRonWeeklyTop10Videos]

@@StreamYard yes

[@StreamYard]

Yes, you can, using our Guest Destinations feature! Just make sure you click "go live" inside the studio and on BOTH IG destinations. - Katie 🦆

[@vitorbernardes3340]

It will be awesome if there was a custumizable background option! Instead of just blur and duplicate the image.

[@MidgardMusings]

How do you mute the volume from Insta so you don't hear yourself talking when streaming on StreamYard? I'm on desktop.

[@StreamYard]

Hi there! Are you viewing your stream on IG while streaming, so you're hearing an echo? - Katie 🦆

[@MidgardMusings]

@@StreamYard exactly right. I hear a playback of my own voice in IG

[@StreamYard]

We recommend either muting that tab or not having it open when streaming, because it will cause an echo. Do you have another device, like an iPad or mobile device where you can view the stream but turn the volume all the way down? - Katie 🦆

[@thesobrietyplaybook]

Will we ever be able to go live on Instagram from an iPad? My laptop? My laptop Audio is really bad so I can only stream from my iPad or iPhones.

​​@@StreamYardme too. I hear the echo

[@jamespowell75]

i cannot find the stream key

[@abdmuhaimin]

yes yes yes🤩

[@LivinLoudwithAndy]

Next to no integration tho… comments all in one place and able to be thrown on screen is why they watch TikTok live studio I do the same but screen record… I’ll wait till it’s fully integrated- big hassle in my eyes and could be problematic during the show

[@StreamYard]

We are waiting on Instagram to open more capabilities but this is only the first step :)

[@LivinLoudwithAndy]

@@StreamYard excellent! Used it but couldn’t see comments - had to peek over as I do for TikTok Wish life was easy huh 😆

Why do we have to add the stream key everytime?
