Now I feel prepared for my first livestream this month…so excited and anxious at the same time

Nice, all the best - Hazel, PV Team

[@ak_philippines]

Thanks Justin for your deep dive in Stream yard, but you forgot tiny detail for setting up "audio avatar" for yourself in case you will be streaming with your audio only

[@mercurious6699]

Very valuable to generate a more traditional podcast - thanks for pointing that out.

[@ak_philippines]

@@mercurious6699 thanks mate!

[@VeeLaFunk]

Awesome! Would some examples for audio only be Apple Podcast, IHeartRadio, Spotify etc ?

Thanks! But do you know how to stop your microphone periodically and play another audio at that moment like study with me streams do? Or in other words can you mute your own microphone and let only the background music play? Also can you add timers on your screen (like for 3+ hrs) again like study with me videos

[@marthagichia]

Thanks Justin! Awesome as always! Cheers

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome, cheers!

[@darrenwilliamsu3727]

Hey Justin, hope you get this! First thanks for your help throughout all your tutorials and step by step ways of teaching its greatly informal and helpful. My question is in regards to how you incorporate a smaller version of yourself in your videos to pinpoint subscribers where you are walking around and doing whatever dually while talking on another screen at the same time? Thanks again...

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - feel free to watch our video "3D pop-out effect", to learn how it's done. Hope that helps! 👍

Thanks for the video mate, do you know if stream yard offers a 1 time use price? I.e we live stream our podcast once every 20ish weeks so paying monthly wouldn't be worth it but I would like the extra features

[@user-ov6bg2tp3g]

Hi Justin. Great content - learning so much from you. My question is about product tagging/commerce capabilities while using Stream Yard. If I wanted to stream on Meta & KZbin but wanted to allow my customers to shop my products on KZbin (as Meta have taken this capability away), is this still possible? Do you have any recommendations/ thoughts?

[@maxpassion]

beautifull presentation - + yes r a streamyard fan + costumer!

[@PrimalVideo]

Thank you!

Hi I know this isn’t about the video but on my KZbin studio there is like a achievement saying: congrats on 100 watch hours but then when I go to my monetization tab it says I have 34 out of 4000 hours. I am kind of confused so do you know what this is about?

[@ak_philippines]

@Nedaas Channel ❤ probably the 100 watch hours is since you create your channel, the 34 hours in monetization section is for the last 12 month .. usually if you achieve the 4000 hours to start monetizing should be within 12 month & not since you create your channel. Hope this information helps

Hello! Perfect video on how to use StreamYard! Question, is it possible to stream PS4 gaming without having to use PS Remote Play? My daughter doesn’t want to play from her PC. I saw on StreamYard website it states no capture card needed but I’m assuming that’s because one would have to play via remote play on PC. Any help is appreciated 😅

[@PrimalVideo]

sorry i can't help with this one.. they might have an answer for you on their website or youtube channel

[@organiclove]

I make a few videos in advance on my KZbin Day. I have always been able to upload them to my channel and keep them private until I’m ready to post them to public. They’d always then appear in order as I publicly publish them. They then are sent as a notification to my subscribers. But the last few that I posted public show the published date of when I uploaded them to KZbin as private and its messing up the order and my subscribers aren’t getting notifications of them. I tried going back and setting them to publish at a certain time but that didn’t work. Pleaser help me. Thank you!!!

[@IBNED]

Is there a way to chat, talk. Or text so I can have a short conversation to find out what I want a podcasting app like this can meet my needs....this looks good but I need some questions answered before I buy....make sense

[@THAILANDCANUCK]

I am new to this and have a question. When you want to do live stream on youtube do you need a streaming app or software or is it just to get more features for your streaming with one? Thank you.

I tried live streaming with Streamyard free for the first time today. Is it possible to pinch zoom in to have a closer view of the person speaking or band playing after the live broadcast has begun? If not, how is zooming in the shot done? People appeared too small and far away in my opinion.
