Thank you for your helpful video. It really helped me to understand my goals with live stream products.

[@MichaelDaniels]

I am so glad it helped. be sure to check out other StreamYard videos in a playlist i made. Also tell your friends ;)

[@bottatatianatalk]

Very helpful! Thank you.

Glad it helped you

[@IleaneSmith]

Hi Michael! I'm glad you did this because there are certainly use cases for both tools. I love how Zoom allows screen sharing from mobile. That is so cool. Can you post a link to the Epic pen when you get a chance. Thank you!

[@MichaelDaniels]

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the epic pen website to download epic-pen.com/

[@MichaelDaniels]

Also, yes. One of zooms best features is the mobile screen share and annotations

[@MichaelDaniels]

If you are interested, I am doing a live stream tomorrow teaching Zoom. Please join us kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXylmp2Jq6qXnKc

Thanks for this! I'm trying to help someone with branding and I'm new to StreamYard. I'm trying to understand the difference between the branding options. I see that there are overlays, which are just transparent .png graphics that you can upload and turn on. Those are really cool. Can you clarify what a "background" is in StreamYard? I think it's the blueish circuit board thing you have on yours when you change the layout to two screens, is that correct? And then there is also a green screen option, which is the GOT background you have behind you and can only be used with a green or blue screen, correct? Zoom has the virtual background option that you can easily put up without a greenscreen, but it's not as clean looking. It sounds like "background" is something different on StreamYard.

[@MichaelDaniels]

You are correct in all instances. Overlays are PNG that go over top, like lower 3rds. Backgrounds are behind yes like my circuit board. Yes the GOT image is a green screen image in streamyard.

@@MichaelDaniels thanks so much for the quick response. I've been googling all day and haven't been able to find the answer but have come across several of your helpful videos :)

[@MichaelDaniels]

@@lisacunningham1068 thank you for the kind words. Be sure to subscribe to my channel and be sure to watch our show tomorrow, we have geige, one of the cofounders of streamyard on our show.

[@SheilaHensley]

Way too complicated for what I do/need but it's so interesting to watch you make all the software work together. Was fun, thanks!

[@MichaelDaniels]

Understood! It is fun for sure

[@SheilaHensley]

@@MichaelDaniels I do like to watch other members get excited and ask questions. I get a lot from their questions.

[@martinezbyj]

Did you used streamyard to prepare this particular video? if so, that means I could add a powerpoint on my presentation?

[@MichaelDaniels]

You can certainly screen share a PowerPoint presentation.

[@ThePullupjumper]

Question. I wear bluetooth headphones with a built-in mic. How can I use that to hear audio from Chrome? I will not work for me on SY. Thanks.

[@MichaelDaniels]

So you cannot hear any sound? Or are you doing a screen share and you don't have sound?

[@laureenpartington9717]

Super helpful, thank you! Is there a way to link Zoom and StreamYard?

[@MichaelDaniels]

Thank you for the compliment. If you watch my live game show that I do on Friday nights (see past videos) I use zoom to bring in 8 people and display them on streamyard. I personally use a program called OBS (free). So yes there is a way but there is a process or learning curve. We have a paid community where we learn this stuff. As a matter of fact today we have a workshop where I will be teaching this

[@laureenpartington9717]

@@MichaelDaniels Thank you for the reply, that helps a lot. I'll check out your past videos.

Helpful

[@MichaelDaniels]

Glad it helped

[@jeffgilpin1]

Have you found a way to "Cast" a video into Streamyard, ie for better quality?

[@MichaelDaniels]

I think because StreamYard only goes to 720p , that is the max right now that it will put out for quality. So you can only do as much as it will allow. I know many folks are asking about 1080p so when you show text on screen for example it would be much clearer. Just send feedback to streamyard. Hope that helps

[@jeffgilpin1]

@@MichaelDaniels Yes, thank you.

@@jeffgilpin1 oh that is awesome. Yes I do. Not right now unfortunately with the situation the world is in

[@123123volleyball]

It seems StreamYard can do everything a regular webinar service provides for much cheaper and can stream to thousands of people as opposed to a platform like zoom where their cheapest plan can only have 100 people. Am I missing something here? Wouldn't using a service like StreamYard be better than many webinar platforms?Appreciate any insight.

[@MichaelDaniels]

Streamyard is not a webinar program. It is a live streaming program. You go live. Zoom can live stream to KZbin as well. Stream yard for live streaming and zoom for very large private meetings and webinars.

[@123123volleyball]

@@MichaelDaniels Thanks for the reply. I get that it's not a webinar program but if I wanted to do a live webinar, what can't I do with SteamYard that I could do with a zoom webinar for example?

[@MichaelDaniels]

@@123123volleyball zoom you can have 100 people on screen. Streamyard you can bring comments on screen. I use both in my live game shows on Friday night

[@123123volleyball]

Michael Daniels Thanks for your advice. I was in a dilemma because I was planning on doing a webinar to teach volleyball players a skill where they could see me, I could share my screen to show them examples etc. Then I came across StreamYard which was more than half the price and seems I can do the exact same thing. What would your advice be? Oh and I also want to be able to get there email addresses as well. I came across someone who did a training on StreamYard who was able to do all this. Thanks again for your help.

[@MichaelDaniels]

@@123123volleyball TO me webinar is Private and controlled. You are just wanting to do a Live stream to teach Vollyball. If that is the idea, then find the cheapest live streaming software you can. StreamYard is a great choice. Zoom with registration can be an email collector. Feel free to join our community where we discuss all of this sorts of stuff and more. tinkeringwithtech.net

[@NatanRufino]

How do you write on the screen as you do in this video? Could you share that? Thanks

[@NatanRufino]

I saw you saying in the video... "epic-pen".... thanks... lol

[@MichaelDaniels]

I use a product called epic pen

[@divyaankbhatnagar5025]

Which is the best tool for webinar?

[@MichaelDaniels]

My opinion would be Zoom. It is designed for webinars

[@ministeriodecristo]

Hello i am having trouble with stream yard when going live it's lagging I did a speed test and my upload was 6.0 could that be causing the problem ? Thanks in advance

[@MichaelDaniels]

So many different things can cause lag and delay. Does your computer have enough speed. Since it runs in the browser... is your system bogged down. I have 32gb ram on my machine... I have SSD hard drives so it runs faster. COuld be lots of things

[@ministeriodecristo]

@@MichaelDaniels I have 16 gb on my PC and bought a 5g cpe pro 2 and have unlimited internet

[@ministeriodecristo]

With zoom I can upload anything and no problem but I need to go live stream not meeting

[@ministeriodecristo]

If you can recommend me any software is it better browser or download

[@ministeriodecristo]

Im so fustraded

[@MScrazymonkey78]

Can you make the same video for Zoom and BeLive?

[@MichaelDaniels]

I don't have a Mac so I can't use BeLive , sorry!

[@kayeella1009]

Up to how many people can Streamyard accommodate?

[@MichaelDaniels]

Ok so to answer this properly I need to know what you are speaking about. You can have 6 live on camera folks at a time and 10 people can be on at once. So 4 folks are sitting in the background and not shown on screen. If you are talking about audience, that would depend on where you stream. If you have a facebook group of 1000 people then they can see you there. If you stream to YouiTube then anyone that can watch on KZbin can see you.
