StreamYard vs. EVMUX: Who's the Winner? Side-by-Side Feature Comparison

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

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

[@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!

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]

With the new Streamyard price increase, Evmux is the clear winner. I plan on changing over soon.

[@kirkrnugent]

Couldn't agree more... I'll need to redo this video with current comparison details. Evmux and StreamYard have added new features but as you mentioned that price hike is crazy. However I do have a few videos for those looking to move away which i've included links to below: 4 Alternatives to StreamYard - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZDHpIl8Zr6bp7c StreamYard to Ecamm - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2PZdn-YZrJ9adU Thanks for the comment and support of the channel

What about music audio quality? StreamYard has been advancing by adding certain features like stereo options but the overall audio quality is still substandard, even to things like Zoom, and certainly OBS. Is Restream better with music?

[@kirkrnugent]

Great question! I've found all the web based platforms: Restream Evmux and StreamYard all are about the same with audio quality. You MUST turn off audio processing and enable stereo mode to get the best quality. I've done church productions with them and the audio was Great. Installed streaming platforms like OBS and Ecamm are just superior with audio because you have more granular control when it's not on the web.

[@Evmux]

We offer 320kbps audio on the Pro plan, which you won’t find anywhere else.

[@iMikeZero]

I've been looking at a lot of videos to start streaming. This is definitely the best comparison I've seen. Great breakdown Kirk. Appreciate it!!

[@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!

[@HollandOates]

Your intro instantly earned a sub!

[@kirkrnugent]

Hahahahaha thanks man this one was allot of fun

[@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

[@kess410]

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

[@romanarinenko273]

yes, with evmux apps & widgets

[@kess410]

@@romanarinenko273 can you elaborate or point me to a video tutorial please

[@kirkrnugent]

@@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.

[@kess410]

@@kirkrnugent gotcha. Thanks for the very helpful content. If you could get around to or feel like making a short vid about how to do it that would be great.

[@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.

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

[@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

[@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

[@DavesArchives]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@micahflemons]

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.

[@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

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.

[@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!

[@kirkrnugent]

@@davidblawsonamericanhoochieman thanks for that observation things may have change since we did this video. StreamYard free plan doesn’t go above 720p where Evmux allows 1080p.

@@kirkrnugent NO, eVMUX ONLY Allows 7, minutes recording-where streamyard free plan you get 20 hrs per month. It reboots every month on the 27th. See what I mean .😁

@@davidblawsonamericanhoochieman I understood the first time and I agree but my comment remains the same. 7 minutes at 1080p is very different than 20 hours at 720p. When StreamYard goes to 1080p on the free plan then I would be impressed with the 20 hours. I’m just prioritizing quality level, hope that makes sense.
