Just decided to switch to StreamYard last week for hosting a video interview show I produce weekly. I have been using Zoom. Yet learning to go live on StreamYard is well worth my study and attention, to reduce delays and editing. Thanks very much for this excellent demonstration. I took careful notes. You covered the basics splendidly and clearly!
