*Note: The webcam app mentioned between 22 and 30 minutes is spelled 'Iriun', not 'Irian'. The spelling error is caused by KZbin's auto-generated chapters.

Lightening make the photograph much better ,agreed with Respected Dyann Madam

[@PurplePaisleyPlanner]

I'm so glad I didn't miss this. Thank you Melanie for showing this.

[@ArtsyDork]

Thank you for this! I used to live in Muncie as well. Just an FYI, you have Iriun spelled Irian in the chapters. It took me a while to find the actual website because of that, but otherwise awesome tutorial. Thanks again!

[@StreamYard]

Thanks, added a pinned comment noting that!

A feature I would love to see integrated into StreamYard (perhaps at the pro lvl) is automatically switching between multiple cameras at like 3 - 5 minute intervals. I’ve noticed that many big channels do this to keep attention of the viewers etc.

[@StreamYard]

Very cool! I will pass this along to my developers. Thanks for the suggestion! - Katie 🦆

[@FletchDoesIt]

@@StreamYard FWIW Another feature I would love to see is a rotating list of streaming banners to automatically scroll across every 3 - 5 minutes... for call to action stuff, like reminding them you have a back library of other videos, subscribing, liking etc.

[@StreamYard]

Ah, also a great idea! I will let them know this as well :) - Katie 🦆

[@AuntLALA]

How did you do the animated overlay for displaying your "Today's Topic"? Canva?

[@StreamYard]

Yes, we would suggest Canva or Figma for this! - Katie 🦆

Can you use an external mic like the dji wireless while using your smartphone ?

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! At this time, there isn't a way to use external microphones with mobile devices on StreamYard. So sorry about that. - Katie 🦆

[@CaptainCaveman782]

Can I do this with Ipad and IPhone only? I need to use an piano demonstration so IPad and iPhone are necessary to attach to tripods

[@StreamYard]

You can as long as you have internet you can connect.

[@Chidori2803]

Hello, It happens to me that when I use a smartphone in StreamYard, it takes a little while for the image to become sharp, I mean, it pixelates when I put the image and when I switch between one camera and the other one. Besides, it makes an auto-adjustment of resolution, like a small jump in the dimensions and framing of the shot. What do you suggest?

[@StreamYard]

Hi there! We would love to help you fix this in our 24/7 live chat. Please reach out to us at streamyard.com/contact -Andrés 🦆

[@devanslive007]

Is there an Audio to Video delay when using phones as a webcam? Is it best to have the phones hard wired to reduce latency.

[@StreamYard]

Hey there! Delay is usually because of your connection. We'd be happy to help with any issues you're having on our live support chat: streamyard.com/contact - Katie 🦆

[@YSuperstars]

Hi, I do not have an option to add cameras in my streamyard on my new laptop. I see it in my old one. Please help

Hello, thanks a lot. how can I get (access) the stream yard application in my phone

[@StreamYard]

Hi there, no app download required! You'll just go to streamyard.com in your phone's browser :) ~M 🦆

[@lahaimassaquoi948]

@@StreamYard ok, thanks. I should do the same for my PC right?

[@StreamYard]

Correct! ~M 🦆

Thanks a lot

Can you add more than one cell phone to epoc

[@StreamYard]

I’m not sure. You would need to try it. I don’t think so. If you just use StreamYard though, you can share your guest link with multiple mobile devices and bring them in as separate cameras. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

Q#askstreamyard how do I use my tablet and phone together as I don't have a computer.

[@StreamYard]

Great question. One way would be to use your tablet as your primary device. Then send the guest link to your phone. Be sure to plug a pair of headphones into the phone to fully mute it. You could then set the phone up as a second camera. Have you tried this? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
