StreamYard vs. EVMUX: Who's the Winner? Side-by-Side Feature Comparison
StreamYard was one of the first web-based streaming platforms to market while EVMUX was one of the last ones released that has remained a viable option AND has a feature set that makes it hard to categorize. Let's go feature for feature to see which one is really the best.

They both look great I'm still debating.. Great video thank you for showing both!

[@kirkrnugent]

Absolutely! Please share what you decide when you do. I’d love to know

[@manuprealtalk]

I wish you would have done a price point comparison... In terms of what you get for the different price package.... Other than that continue to do the great work that you do. This is truly one of the most underrated channels on KZbin

[@kirkrnugent]

Oh wow that's very true I should've done a coat comparison as well. Thanks so much for the comment and support of the channel

[@AnnaDyagileva]

The best video!!! Thank you!!! I've seen some videos before and nothing compares to this one! The most informative is made by Kirk! Bravo!

[@kirkrnugent]

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the comment and support of the channel! Just checked out your channel and i'd love to have you as a guest on the Why I Go Live Podcast. If you're interested please drop me an email here - [e-mail]

[@micahflemons]

Awesome thanks for sharing!

[@kirkrnugent]

Absolutely my pleasure thanks for the support

[@RapidRepair]

Awesome explanations 😊

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks so much! Which is the winner for you?

[@dariusocain500]

Love your in depth review of these platforms and your objective conclusion. The truth of the matter is that the final decision is very subjective and depends on the user and what gets them across the line. I have to say that for the implementations that I have done and from a remote production perspective, the Pro Scenes in Evmux, lends itself to allow the user to create a unique and custom look to their stream. Keep doing what you do. Love the content man!!

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks so much! Couldn’t agree more it’s based on your use case which can differ greatly. I love Pro Scenes I’m a fan of things looking unique. Thanks for the comment and the support of the channel

[@DeeDeesReactions]

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate you!

[@kirkrnugent]

Absolutely! Glad it’s helpful

[@garyjonesjr.7015]

Thanks for the creative and comprehensive review of these two powerful web-based platforms to stream/record content.

[@kirkrnugent]

Absolutely! Thanks for the comment and support as always. Truly appreciated

Your intro instantly earned a sub!

[@SimplyBallDroppin]

Great break down and informative information

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks doc!!! Which is the winner for you?

[@SimplyBallDroppin]

@kirkrnugent Stream yard cause I been using it longer. I know you said before try different things. I have tested Evimux when it first came out but had a little trouble with it, but im going to give it another go

[@kirkrnugent]

@@SimplyBallDroppin Bro StreamYard is an awesome platform only try new ones if you feel your missing something

[@OmegaSunsLight]

Great side by side evaluation. You held a neutral position and allowed the features to shine according to the end user's preference. Good stuff! 💪🏾

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks so much you’re assessment is spot on that is exactly what I was trying to do. I’ve created content for both platforms and I use them both regularly so I wanted to do a comparison that was just facts and let the audience decide which is better for them. Thanks again for your feedback and support of the channel.

[@markwoollard]

Kirk, great video. Crisp, informative, and entertaining. How would you compare the guest experience in each platform?

[@kirkrnugent]

Oh wow Mark thanks for this question my editor and I realized that was the only thing missing from the comparison - the guest experience. It’s worlds different. Evmux has drastically improved theirs and they have a feature that allows the produce to speak directly to guests and not include that audio in the broadcast it’s really dope. StreamYard is solid and allows for the guest to add their own destinations if the host enables that which is pretty cool. Those would be the two major differences IMO again thanks for the question and support of the channel

[@robertkennedy3]

🤣🤣🤣I love the rumble!!! This is dope!

[@kirkrnugent]

Hahahaha thanks man!

[@WeirdMedicine]

How do you have

[@kirkrnugent]

Hey thanks for the comment and support of the channel. Live-streaming is still a growing market so I anticipate this video will have over 1000 views soon but it will take time. thanks to you we are one view closer and that is what I try to focus on.

[@IleaneSmith]

Bravo🎉 and the winner is-- ALL OF US (live streamers). Cuz we don’t have to choose. We can have them all (including Ecamm)! We have so many amazing options and they all keep each other on their toes. Thank you soooo much for this video Kirk

[@kirkrnugent]

Illeane!!!!! You get it! We are all winners when they compete and right now the competition is stiff and I love every second of it. This was a lot of fun to do and I hope to do more

[@IleaneSmith]

@@kirkrnugent 👏🏽🎈😘 I shared this video in a FB group of live streamers who were wondering about Evmux. Hopefully some of them will watch it soon but you know how FB does 😂

[@kirkrnugent]

@@IleaneSmith yea FB is crazy but I can’t thank you enough for sharing it

[@Bush_Fam]

Is there the feature in EVMUX like restream pairs or maybe with streamyard where a guest can live stream the stream on there platforms.

[@kirkrnugent]

I don’t believe Evmux has that feature. Great observation that’s definitely missing from this comparison. Points for StreamYard on that one. Also thanks for the comment and support of the channel

[@imanthonytv]

Question regarding EVMUX..I was doing a livestream this morning where I had music playing in the intro “stream starting soon” scene but the viewers didn’t hear any music. What would cause this problem? I also heard the music just fine in my headphones. This isn’t the first time this has happened. It’s weird because I didn’t always have this issue. I used to go on my phone and go to my channel to make sure I could hear the music during my livestream and it would be fine but now sometimes I can hear it as a viewer but sometimes I can’t

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks so much for your comment and question. It is weird and it's also hard to try to provide an answer without seeing what's happening. If you're available I'll be sure to touch on this question during my live show on Wednesday at Noon CST. If you can make it great but if not be sure to catch the replay - I'll walk through the setup process and see

[@imanthonytv]

@@kirkrnugentSounds good. Thanks!

[@myowndryfire]

I usually take questions from my clients at the end of my livestream. How easy is it to allow someone to come on mic and ask questions... video would be good too if possible

[@kirkrnugent]

Fairly easy… just send them the guest link and they should be able to connect and video and audio is possible. Both platforms allow guest video and audio

[@eraneluz]

I guess this video was made before evmux launched the Apps & Widgets marketplace (SDK & API will be released soon so anyone will be able to develop on top of evmux) Stay tuned for the upcoming releases of the AI & Generative AI features :)

[@kirkrnugent]

Yes that is correct I was floored when you guys unveiled that and I’m working on a video update for evmux features. Many of my videos covering Evmux are outdated. All my updates are in the Evmux channel LOL so I’ll need to create some here too. Kudos to the team great work!

[@ericsenior7687]

As mentioned - who is the winner on the FREE VERSION? For me that's a 1st round TKO! Tx bro!

[@kirkrnugent]

That’s pretty cool! Thank you for the comment and support of the channel.

[@JTMsound]

I just switched to ev mux from streamyard , upgraded based on a similar youtube video.... I am upset ! i like how EV mux is looking . but it is NOT better than streamyard. audio is out of sync... i dont have 1080p on basic plan ! and then I shared my screen for a broadcast , i go to watch back the video ..... white screen behind, no image from my video . STREAMYARD, basic but goddamn professional .

[@kirkrnugent]

Man so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately you’re not the first to mention these complaints and I hope you shared them with EVMUX as well. I use EVMUX for a client project once a week and we repurpose the recording for social posts and haven’t experienced any synchronization issues at all. He doesn’t do a shared screen but uses a presentation all the time and people are interacting with him live. I share this not to say what you’re experiencing isn’t valid but rather to share my experience has been completely different and I’m wondering why. Let me know what you decide to do.

[@eraneluz]

Can't be you don't have 1080p unless you mean for the camera itself which is depend on the specs of the camera. Regarding the out of sync it might be because of the internet/ or your computer is working hard (In evmux the video is in higher bitrate) try to restart your computer before going live to free resources.

[@chrisford89]

Great video! Can I use my Atem mini pro with evmux?

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks for the comment and support of the channel. Yes. You can use the atem mini as a usb connected webcam with both Evmux and StreamYard.

@@kirkrnugent great! I’m about to purchase my subscription now. Thanks a lot Kirk.

[@kirkrnugent]

@@chrisford89 Awesome! Hope you use our link kirkrnugent.live/evmux and let us know if you have any questions

[@POCKETChurch]

You said you don’t use either option personally, so what you currently use (not counting ones used with clients )???

[@kirkrnugent]

For my own shows and for recording videos I use Ecamm Live. Let me know if you’d like more information about it and thanks for the comment.

[@POCKETChurch]

I currently use OBS and my ATEM MINI Pro to have a multiple camera livestream on Facebook. It’s allowed us to share the Gospel with millions globally but we are currently researching mutli-stream options so we can build a KZbin community. Based on user comments on this video, EVMUX is more dynamic but delivers a less consistent experience. How does restream & ecamm match up to stream yard?

[@POCKETChurch]

@@kirkrnugent I just checked out eCAMM and it looks very impressive. We use a Mac for streaming and this product was designed for it. We will run a Streamyard vs ECAMM livestream test. Thanks for making a high quality comparison video. You earned our subscription

Very helpful. I need you to perfect your ring announcer voice though.

I'm only seeing a way to change lower thirds size, but not the comments. When showing a comment on screen it takes up way too much of the screen....is there really a way to change the comment size?

[@kirkrnugent]

For EVMUX yes for StreamYard No.

[@RADIOTELEANBYANSPLUS]

How do you have a good clean audio out on evmux

[@kirkrnugent]

Not sure I understand the question. What are you experiencing? Didn’t think I was doing anything special. I watch their townhall often and their audio is clean. What’s your use case? Podcast Webshow Church? Also are you using audio equipment? Is ask because is you are just ensure you’re wearing headphones so you can turn off echo cancellation. Hope something here is useful.

In EVMUX can you have continuous live chat in top corner like gamers?

yes, with evmux apps & widgets

@@kess410 to answer your original question, Yes. I showed a number of we sources in Evmux in this video. Since I recorded this video Evmux has expanded this with new functionality they call apps and widgets. One of the widgets is Live Chat like the gamers use. They do a live demo in their latest a townhall video on the @Evmux KZbin channel. I’ll be doing a video detailing that new feature here soon. Thanks for the comment and support of the channel.
