Hello, Thanks for sharing. Great video. My question is i didn't see where you could Chroma Key - support for background removal via a green screen. I currently use a green screen to rec my TH-cam videos and want to be able use it for my streaming. Does either one offer this feature?
Hands down...one of the best comparison videos I've seen on TH-cam and I'm not being hyperbolic at all. The back and forth banter was very informative and engaging.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope that maybe you'll be able to stop by and say hey during one of our live streams someday! (Friday at 10:00am PT) 🙂
Is there any reason (advantage) to using either of these programs with OBS? Apparently you can do that. But I can't find any info on WHY you'd do that. Thanks.
Usually people do that when they want to stream to stream to multiple platforms but don't have the bandwidth or computer power to do so without adding one of these...
These ladies are awesome valuable info and super engaging so you don't have to replay, replay, replay. I'm going with Restream because the interface is easier for me to navigate. Thanks Ladies!
Not being able to host video files on the cloud without paying full price was the deal breaker for me with restream. Streamyard lets me do that in the free plan. I’ll be upgrading soon and looking forward to more features. Good video thanks ladies!
Glad you found it helpful! I would suggest that you also check out this video, as some things have changed since we did the original video: th-cam.com/video/OMNkGe5V34U/w-d-xo.html
It depends! Tiktok has started to allow *some* people to stream from their computer, so first you'll have to check to see if they've made that available to you. You can find the instructions here: restream.io/blog/how-to-go-live-on-tiktok
Well, that's the thing, both are pretty evenly matched! If you watch the video, we do discuss the couple of points that one has over the other, but really you can't go wrong. The best news is...you can try both for free to see which one fits your streaming process better! Check the description for the links. Hope you'll let us know which one you prefer! 🤞
@@LiveStreamingPros I definitely appreciate you as always! I have watch this video, a few times. :) Love it. I may have missed the actual video and audio quality differences between the two, if there is any? :) I know both offer 1080p. Appreciate you!
Thank you for the informative video. It really gave insight into both platforms. For someone who isn't very "technical" when it comes to live-streaming nor has the internet speed to do it with OBS, for example, I have been enjoying using StreamYard. The fact it has been working for me thus far at the internet speed I have, and that it doesn't seem to lag or freeze (as of yet) is a winner in my book. And it's a bonus that StreamYard has a Facebook group (which I just learned about) where you can not only ask questions to get some help if needed, but it's another great way to meet and become friends with others. I look forward to upgrading my plan soon with StreamYard, and becoming a member of their Facebook group.
Luria, thanks for a wonderful video! So many great points. I read through the comments here and just wanted to pin a couple of FAQs from the thread: 📍 Restream allows you to Record Only by toggling off all the channels and clicking Go Live. You can then access the video in the recording, and it stays there for 15 -30 days, depending on your plan. 📍 Scheduling recorded videos to go live (or previous streams to replay) is one of my personal favorites. 📍 There is a way to play a video from your laptop (any length) using the local source button under a Guest button. 📍 Restream works with OBS and Ecamm, and even Zoom. The new feature allows you to pull your Zoom webinar directly into the Studio and add all the overlays/captions/comments etc. 📍 We have 24/7 stellar Support with real humans responding in under 4 minutes. Onboarding or tech issue - we got your back!
I'm a Streamyard user. Been using for a year. But one thing about Streamyard, they don't have tech support. Well they do , but it sorely lacking. Restream's tech support hands down is the best. They are patient and want you to get the best out of their software. Streamyard, although easy, just doesn't cut it when it comes to tech support.
I appreciate you guys doing this; and your respective companies allowing you to. It's super-hard to both be fun and objective, while fulfilling your professional obligations in advocating for your platform as the preferred option. You guys did great trying to balance the two, and I think it's a good examples for other companies who may be scared to do this kind of thing. Friendly competition is good for the market, and it's totally okay to "fight" for your team's market share... as consumers we're making these judgments anyway, might as well see how the companies themselves would "argue" for their platform directly against a competitor. It also probably helps that both of your platforms are actually good, so you each are probably less sensitive to criticisms because you know your respective platforms have legitimate strong value offerings. Again, great job you two! 🙌 PS - This is my second time watching, re-visiting after a few weeks of procrastinating 😅
@@LiveStreamingPros Hi, That you can't now comment during the live. I have to go back to the facebook page and post as my personal self. Also you couldn't delete posts or, block anyone. Plus I have to invite people into the studio via those personal posts and can't do it from the Livestream comments because, even though my page has set up the stream I can't post directly onto it.. And worst of all...it is pointless setting up an advanced stream as when it goes live no one sees it so, I have to just put a post up I am going live and then just set up a broadcast when I want to go live and hope people find it. StreamYard have been great trying to help but, they say it is Facebppk's new settings.
I have been using SY as I noted below and it has been flawless. The 1080 and sound quality is great (using rode xlr mic and rode procaster mixer). Never tried restream except for a few multi-streaming forwarding
Super nice review!! It should be noticed that Restream offers high-Res audio feature for musicians and the audio level of every “guest” can be adjusted on its window. This is very useful for quick audio corrections like “echoes”.
This was a great comparison video. I love both features its so hard to choose. It would be great to have a one flat fee as opposed to a subscription model. Good job overall.
@@LiveStreamingPros we actually have both. Not a fan of Restream live streaming functionality but love the multi streaming when using vmix. Stream yard has a timer to show how long you were live & it automatically schedules/sets up the event on the respective platforms so not sure the clear winner
I use a Apple M1 laptop with my 810 mini pro Iso. I’m trying to find out how to handle a client zoom conference & stream to Facebook at the same time. I can’t connect into a router and have to use the clients wifi. I spoke to Blackmagic & was told my solution might be to use my old 2013 MacBook as another source to connect to for the zoom conference.. I also have a 9” external monitor. Yet I have a Pelican case I modified to hold my 810 & a 7” monitor.. I also have the 15 key stream deck. Searching TH-cam a few results to my question was I had to use or pay for StreamYard, Ecomm or Vimeo to do this?
I've been subscribed to BeLive for 2 years, and now to ECamm, Restream & Streamyard for coming up to the year (renewal time). With using a combination in a daily morning card reading, I have ECamm virtual camera into the BeLive streaming to FB page & YT channel, then have the ECamm simulcasting via Restream to the 4 locations of 2 FB, Twitch & Periscope. So, SY is now only being used sporadically to keep up with the updates. I need to be deciding very shortly which 2 main options I continue with. Four full subscriptions is a tad costly!
Wow, yeah, that's a lot! If you're comfortable with Ecamm and Restream, you should be able to do everything from that combo. Also, you know that Periscope is going away, right? Have you decided what you're going to use instead?

Hello there! We would need to still be streaming live to cover all the AMAZING features of both platforms. 😁 The answer is yes, you can use "green screen" on both platforms. Here's some more info: Streamyard - streamyard.com/resources/docs/green-screen/ Restream Studio - support.restream.io/en/articles/4842124-how-to-use-virtual-camera-chroma-key-with-studio
I have been using StreamYard for at least 9 months now. It is simple and if I have a technical problem I can always ask after my broadcast. I just checked out Restream today and I like the fact that all the backgrounds, video clips and overlays are visible and ready to use. They are pretty cool! I am not sure that StreamYard has them. If they do, they must be hidden somewhere. I will have to do some searching on TH-cam. What I don’t like about Restream is that you have to pay $50 in order to get rid of the logo. I do free broadcast and can’t see me paying so much money a month, when StreamYard does it for half the price.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope that maybe you'll be able to stop by and say hey during one of our live streams someday! (Monday and Friday at 10:00am PT) :)
I've used Wirecast pro for many years now but found Rendezvous lacking for live guest interviews. I opted for Restream over Streamyard not became of features as I found them more or less identical but, I simply preferred the Restream interface. Inviting a guest into a restream broadcast however, I was told that in Streamyard, you have the option to use a Greenscreen.. Something not present in Restream it appears. I think this is a feature that has been missed in all comparisons between the two platforms as some people like this feature. Yes you can achieve the greenscreen effect using OBS Virtual cam but as Streamyard has this already built in, I think this should be highlighted. Great review though, I love it. Keep up the great work!
Second time watching this. I have been trying Restream, Streamyard and Melon. Let me say I like Melon but, it has some glitches. Leaning toward Streamyard. You ladies make it entertaining and educational at the same time.
Luria - great video. I'm still in a position where I'm figuring out which direction to go - using Streamyard, YT Studio or maybe something else to go live. Also figuring out if and why I would need something like an ATEM Mini or OBS if I'm using Streamyard et al? I hope you'll be making a comparison video talking about your Level Three software - like ecamm, etc.
@@LiveStreamingPros mmmmmmm so… it was like none of them so everyone happy? Hahaha. I still don’t know how to put that bar with info as a banner o lower third on Streamyard
NEW - Great comparison. I am looking to do the edit destinations mid-stream. I have been googling how to do this but I think I don't have the correct search terms. Basically, I wan the first 15 minutes to be public on FB and YT but for members, I want them to watch in the member's group. And, in this member's group, it would be a WordPress page with the stream running. I assume this is possible - no? Also, if we do it that way, how do we cover off chat when we do this? Thanks and really enjoying deep diving into your materials. M

I like the camera quality of obs, but can't figure out how to add a guest and stream. I looked at vMix too and they charge $350 to get the ability to add one guest.
Hey Rick! Looks like this video was made just for you! th-cam.com/video/E4nFZ6HI70s/w-d-xo.html (PRO Production with OBS + StreamYard or Restream Live Studio)
new... I think i will be choosing Restream! I will check out your videos. but I have a question. What if I have laptop that is a few years old? Does the camera I use effect how the videos are streamed live? Also, what camera do you use?
NEW...;o) I'm a STREAMYARD user and love that. It is more expensive on first tier plan but I feel it adds more features I use at that level. Loved the video, great work girls.
@@LiveStreamingPros Yes! I'm using Restream. I'm both a Dj and a Gamer and I stream on Twitch and TH-cam. I use Restream because of it's simplicity and I've been getting by with the free subscription since I only stream on Twitch and TH-cam. Streaming on Facebook has been quite a challenge due to their strict guidelines and policies however I'm sure that will be fixed later on down the line. BTW, new subscriber here! WooooHoooo!
Echoing @IAMTALLBOY, great comparison video. One thing that popped up I"m guessing that came after the video was made is with LinkedinLive/ReStream. Re-Stream has made it possible through them to enable auto caption. This is huge!!! Before the only option is to edit and upload your Livestream.. which takes away the natural charms of watching it Live when you need to repost it. My hope is both StreamYard and ReStream will offer transitions as an option (As of this typing StreamYard does not have plans for it, and Restream is looking into it ) The huge thing I love with both is StreamYard/ReStream do a better job than ~ Level 3 (vMix, eCamm) are posting live chat comments. As of this typing vMix still does not have the API from Linkedin to post the chat comments. Can you tell we're fired up after listening. :) Great job @LSP and Melanie !!!
@@LiveStreamingPros I have done so with Facebook and it works great. But, they have to keep up and give people the ability to embed the video into their own website automatically. Once you embed, it is there and so are the next videos.
Since Facebook is focused on keeping people on their platform, I don't expect to see this any time soon, but it couldn't hurt to submit the feature request, right? 👍
@@LiveStreamingPros Yes, I already used Facebook and it worked fine. They have an embed feature, but you have to do it over and over again. I was talking about making sure that Restream has an embed feature.
I currently use professional Restream but Streamyard built-in GREEN SCREEN is vital to my look so I think I'll be pivoting to Streamyard by end of June.
@@TheActualKingSmith What makes Streamyard green screen so good just curious? Don't you use the green screen setup inside OBS as your camera? Why would you need streamyard green screen setting?
@@HotshotBuilders I don't have a good lighting situation and the effect inside Streamyard works better than me manually setting the green screen settings in OBS. I change my lighting...it won't be an issue.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope that maybe you'll be able to stop by and say hey during one of our live streams someday! (Monday and Friday at 10:00am PT) :)
Yep, hear ya... They're both great and have a lot to offer. Have you thought about trying them both to see which feels like a better fit for you? You can get a free trial of both! (Check the description for links.) Hope you'll let us know what you decide!
Is this video post edit or you use re-stream or streamyard. basically i want to know is how do we get the design of the frame which the edge of the frame is curved. the amazing thing is only one side is curved
Streamyard i used and when i go live there is an audio feedback loop that happens. I use pro-level mics and headset and as well as checking the echo box. Still no solutions.
That would happen when you are bringing in a device that also has a mic - for example a webcam. You'll need to test to see where the additional audio is coming from...
Loved this format, thought it might end up in a cage match... Great points for both. I'm going to try restream, I felt the featureset was larger though some of the features of Vidyard seemed very smart. The price of both should cap at 20 a month though.
@@LiveStreamingPros Thank you! I ended up using Ecamm live after watching another one of your videos and it worked perfectly! This channel is awesome!!
what a refreshing way of reviewing the apps. Love it guys. I like stream yard for price and what you get in the middle option but restream looks slightly prettier so when i hasve more cash i would upgrade to their pro version
Great job ladies! I am a ReStream user right now but thinking about changing over to StreamYard. I'd like to know (I don't know how to say this...) you have to have a really powerful internet signal with ReStream and I'm wondering if StreamYard is the same? I have one person on the show that I produce that seem to always have problems with freezing or sound issues. When he is on Zoom, it's not as bad. I love the ticker on StreamYard and it's less expensive than ReStream.
Hi Tracy, the problem is probably on your user's end. make sure they aren't on wifi...have them connect to ethernet cable from modem, or they just have slow service.
Zoom has a lower bitrate or resolution or something than livestreaming software like SY and RS. That's why people who have no issues with Zoom can have issues with other livestreaming platforms. The issue is their own internet connection or computer speed.
First I tried with Streamyard for free and I got new demo on restream. I think what is different? Take sometime to rethink again and again until I decided to use Green duck head....because I met Green duck head first....
@@LiveStreamingPros I am looking at both, leaning towards Streamyard for simplicty, but also like some of the features (especially echo and background noise) in Restream. I like the chat functions in Streamyard, the ability to only onscreen selected chats rather than all of them, however we are still deciding if we will embed on our events site and wondering if Streamyard would be able to pick up chats on a site with an embedded stream, for example can we connect to a chat tool, or if Restream would be better for that. We may do some later streams on LinkedIn live so the ability to pull in chats from there would be a plus, in the long run. If you have any videos on these points, let me know and I will view. If not I will let you know what I find... although I am a total amateur at this :)

Yes you can achieve the greenscreen effect using OBS Virtual cam but as Streamyard has this already built in, I think this should be highlighted.
Great review though, I love it. Keep up the great work!
Second time watching this. I have been trying Restream, Streamyard and Melon. Let me say I like Melon but, it has some glitches. Leaning toward Streamyard. You ladies make it entertaining and educational at the same time.
Luria - great video. I'm still in a position where I'm figuring out which direction to go - using Streamyard, YT Studio or maybe something else to go live. Also figuring out if and why I would need something like an ATEM Mini or OBS if I'm using Streamyard et al? I hope you'll be making a comparison video talking about your Level Three software - like ecamm, etc.
Ooooooh that’s a great video idea! Level 3 comparison.
Restream integrates nicely with Ecamm and OBS and you can use ATEM Mini with it as well
@@anyarazina6919 Thanks!
StreamYard integrates with all of those, too. ;)
I loved the look of this video!!!! Which platform did you use for this video?
What platform was used to create this video?
This was the easiest to follow explanation video I've ever watched! Thanks you so much!
Glad it was helpful! 🎉 If you'd like to learn more about Restream, check out today's video: th-cam.com/video/jsCJMCZDKQg/w-d-xo.html
you are such a pro. I love it. I want to know what cam did u use and what did u use to record this.... Streamyard? hahaha
LOL, thanks for the kind words! We used Ecamm to stream this... 😎
@@LiveStreamingPros mmmmmmm so… it was like none of them so everyone happy? Hahaha. I still don’t know how to put that bar with info as a banner o lower third on Streamyard
NEW - Great comparison. I am looking to do the edit destinations mid-stream. I have been googling how to do this but I think I don't have the correct search terms.
Basically, I wan the first 15 minutes to be public on FB and YT but for members, I want them to watch in the member's group. And, in this member's group, it would be a WordPress page with the stream running. I assume this is possible - no? Also, if we do it that way, how do we cover off chat when we do this?
Thanks and really enjoying deep diving into your materials.

New here!
Thanks for this video. Really useful information
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope that maybe you'll be able to stop by and say hey during one of our live streams someday! (Friday at 10:00am PT) 🙂
@@LiveStreamingPros Awesome will defs check it out and try make it live 🙏🏿💜. Often I just catch-up on all the content late coz I'm usually watching TH-cam in the evening like now before bed or something unless I'm feeling extra in the mood to procrastinate during the work mornings 😂
That works too! 😁
Great content guys... Very informative and entertaining. Thank you.
Hi Luria. Great video! Can you share you studio equipments? The sound and image is fabulous. (🙏Oh God! Dont let it be expensive🙏)
💕 You can see my studio tour here - th-cam.com/video/6jkrUTvEqro/w-d-xo.htmlsi=10z3rczxT0xn0YN-
And you can get a simple yet professional (and not expensive) gear list here - livestreamingpros.com/gear
I like the camera quality of obs, but can't figure out how to add a guest and stream. I looked at vMix too and they charge $350 to get the ability to add one guest.
Hey Rick! Looks like this video was made just for you! th-cam.com/video/E4nFZ6HI70s/w-d-xo.html (PRO Production with OBS + StreamYard or Restream Live Studio)
streamyardndoes not find my virtual camera
hi Luria! Is there any way to do a live survey/poll with the streaming participants? any features/add ons? Thank you!
Not that we've heard about. That would be a great idea to submit to their support teams - couldn't hurt to ask, right?
new... I think i will be choosing Restream! I will check out your videos. but I have a question. What if I have laptop that is a few years old? Does the camera I use effect how the videos are streamed live? Also, what camera do you use?
Both platforms sounds amazing
We've been using StreamYard and I prefer it in most ways... but those Restream analytics are the bomb!
Restream and StreamYard are both awesome!
New. Trying to decide on SY or RS.
So exciting! Did you make your decision yet?
@@LiveStreamingPros I’m going to try SY as it appears easier but will try RS out as well before getting the paid subscription
On the fence to which way to go... you gals are great by the way.
NEW...;o)
I'm a STREAMYARD user and love that. It is more expensive on first tier plan but I feel it adds more features I use at that level. Loved the video, great work girls.
How did you guys add white strokes around of the videos like that, was that done in streamyard or reastream??
I use SY but I would love them to add analytics! Great feature for sure.
👍
Totally agree! It could happen. We’ll just have to keep requesting it. :)
Hi! Great stuff! I am new! And, glad to learn from you!
For these layout .. what version are these ? Are these the the paid version
Some of the features are free and some are part of the paid versions. You can check the websites for all the details!
NEW! I will watch all your videos tonight :)))
can you explain how you did this video..?
Thanks ladies. It helped me make an intelligent decision.
Melany has fangs!!!! Same here! Let's go FANG FAM!!!! Also, awesome video! Way to also keep it neutral too!!!!
Yay! Thank you! 😎 Are you using one of these to stream?
@@LiveStreamingPros Yes! I'm using Restream. I'm both a Dj and a Gamer and I stream on Twitch and TH-cam. I use Restream because of it's simplicity and I've been getting by with the free subscription since I only stream on Twitch and TH-cam. Streaming on Facebook has been quite a challenge due to their strict guidelines and policies however I'm sure that will be fixed later on down the line. BTW, new subscriber here! WooooHoooo!
Awesome, thanks so much! ❤️
In the free version there video limitation? how many mb can I upload to exibe on the live?
Echoing @IAMTALLBOY, great comparison video. One thing that popped up I"m guessing that came after the video was made is with LinkedinLive/ReStream. Re-Stream has made it possible through them to enable auto caption. This is huge!!! Before the only option is to edit and upload your Livestream.. which takes away the natural charms of watching it Live when you need to repost it. My hope is both StreamYard and ReStream will offer transitions as an option (As of this typing StreamYard does not have plans for it, and Restream is looking into it ) The huge thing I love with both is StreamYard/ReStream do a better job than ~ Level 3 (vMix, eCamm) are posting live chat comments. As of this typing vMix still does not have the API from Linkedin to post the chat comments. Can you tell we're fired up after listening. :) Great job @LSP and Melanie !!!
Great news, thanks for sharing! 👍
@@LiveStreamingPros a pleasure! Doing the best to share and provide value for everyone as you have often done for us.
Would love to see the light setup you're rocking here. Your catchlights are next level.
Check out this series - you'll see the whole set up, start to finish! th-cam.com/video/rDHNXfmIgiQ/w-d-xo.html
Trying to live stream today with streamyard on youtube-- studying up! This is fun to try and learn! Thanks for the info!
Any horns , countdowns on streamyard or restream?
What about recording to then edit and upload later?
Embedding? Can you embed this into your website?
Embed the video? You could do that, for example using the TH-cam link, but then your audience won't be able to comment live. 🤷♀️
@@LiveStreamingPros I have done so with Facebook and it works great. But, they have to keep up and give people the ability to embed the video into their own website automatically. Once you embed, it is there and so are the next videos.
Since Facebook is focused on keeping people on their platform, I don't expect to see this any time soon, but it couldn't hurt to submit the feature request, right? 👍
@@LiveStreamingPros Yes, I already used Facebook and it worked fine. They have an embed feature, but you have to do it over and over again. I was talking about making sure that Restream has an embed feature.
I currently use professional Restream but Streamyard built-in GREEN SCREEN is vital to my look so I think I'll be pivoting to Streamyard by end of June.
Cool! You can test drive the idea during the free trial period. Hope you'll let us know how it goes! 👍
@@LiveStreamingPros will do.
@@TheActualKingSmith What makes Streamyard green screen so good just curious? Don't you use the green screen setup inside OBS as your camera? Why would you need streamyard green screen setting?
@@HotshotBuilders I don't have a good lighting situation and the effect inside Streamyard works better than me manually setting the green screen settings in OBS. I change my lighting...it won't be an issue.
This was so good!
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope that maybe you'll be able to stop by and say hey during one of our live streams someday! (Monday and Friday at 10:00am PT) :)
@@LiveStreamingPros I will for sure. I'm just starting my live streaming journey -- much to learn.
Glad to be a part of that journey! ♥️
This is awesome but... it kept me confused on which to choose. lol They BOTH are awesome, and each have at least one thing I want.
Yep, hear ya... They're both great and have a lot to offer. Have you thought about trying them both to see which feels like a better fit for you? You can get a free trial of both! (Check the description for links.) Hope you'll let us know what you decide!
New in live stream🙏🏻
Does RTMP include Instagram for both platforms? I know Restream does.
No, because Instagram does not allow for that at this time.
Can any of these services stream to Instagram Live from each platform?
Is this video post edit or you use re-stream or streamyard.
basically i want to know is how do we get the design of the frame which the edge of the frame is curved. the amazing thing is only one side is curved
I pick StreamYard.
Awesome, we're so glad you found the right solution for you! (It's a pretty amazing tool, right? 😃)
Streamyard i used and when i go live there is an audio feedback loop that happens. I use pro-level mics and headset and as well as checking the echo box. Still no solutions.
That would happen when you are bringing in a device that also has a mic - for example a webcam. You'll need to test to see where the additional audio is coming from...
@@LiveStreamingPros Thank you
Loved this format, thought it might end up in a cage match... Great points for both. I'm going to try restream, I felt the featureset was larger though some of the features of Vidyard seemed very smart. The price of both should cap at 20 a month though.
When Live streaming an event from TH-cam Streamyard has lag. Does anyone know If restream is better for Live streaming TH-cam | twitch events?
I have a 24/7 livestream going on my channel, will streamyard take over that livestream or will it create its own separate stream and key?
No, you can use the stream URL and stream key you already have...
@@LiveStreamingPros Thank you! I ended up using Ecamm live after watching another one of your videos and it worked perfectly! This channel is awesome!!
Is it possible to record the live session in that way that I have two videos: 1 with all the added captions and 1 without any captions etc.?
Not using these tools, you'd need something like vMix for that...
Thanks for sharing! It was very useful 🙌🚀
Which software you have used to make this streaming together??
This show was streamed using Ecamm. 👍 Are you currently streaming? If so, what tool do you use?
@@LiveStreamingPros streamyard
what a refreshing way of reviewing the apps. Love it guys. I like stream yard for price and what you get in the middle option but restream looks slightly prettier so when i hasve more cash i would upgrade to their pro version
Hello! For an online convention, interviews, easy streaming... which one is better? Greetings from Spain.
Really good ,I’m just looking and watching videos.
Great job ladies! I am a ReStream user right now but thinking about changing over to StreamYard. I'd like to know (I don't know how to say this...) you have to have a really powerful internet signal with ReStream and I'm wondering if StreamYard is the same? I have one person on the show that I produce that seem to always have problems with freezing or sound issues. When he is on Zoom, it's not as bad. I love the ticker on StreamYard and it's less expensive than ReStream.
Hi Tracy, the problem is probably on your user's end. make sure they aren't on wifi...have them connect to ethernet cable from modem, or they just have slow service.
Zoom has a lower bitrate or resolution or something than livestreaming software like SY and RS. That's why people who have no issues with Zoom can have issues with other livestreaming platforms. The issue is their own internet connection or computer speed.
Awesome comparison, very much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Thank you so much for giving us More ideas about streaming.
First I tried with Streamyard for free and I got new demo on restream. I think what is different? Take sometime to rethink again and again until I decided to use Green duck head....because I met Green duck head first....
Great video! Thank you both.
Hi, glad this was helpful! 🎉 Are planning on giving one of these a try, or are you already using one?
@@LiveStreamingPros I am looking at both, leaning towards Streamyard for simplicty, but also like some of the features (especially echo and background noise) in Restream. I like the chat functions in Streamyard, the ability to only onscreen selected chats rather than all of them, however we are still deciding if we will embed on our events site and wondering if Streamyard would be able to pick up chats on a site with an embedded stream, for example can we connect to a chat tool, or if Restream would be better for that. We may do some later streams on LinkedIn live so the ability to pull in chats from there would be a plus, in the long run. If you have any videos on these points, let me know and I will view. If not I will let you know what I find... although I am a total amateur at this :)
Just getting started here!
Hello and welcome! 🎉 We are always here to help!! Join our lives and say hi (and ask questions!) Monday and Fridays at 10:00am PST
Great video - just started on stream yard. Learned some new features - thx!
Great to hear, thanks! Which feature is your fav?
Ohhh I actually use StreamYard on a regularly basis, but also have pro access to restore am LOL which I loveeee too
New here! Thanks for the comparison!
how do you add Spanish closed caption within restream
Alway a great video Luria!!
Thank you!!
