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?
I absolutely love you guys doing this "competitor" comparison, and having fun doing it!
I love how you both were able to share with such class and elegance. You both rock!
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) 🙂
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!
Great comparison video! You both were great and I look forward to watching more video content from the both of you! Thanks Aaron
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!
Awesome! Thank you! 💖
Great comparison video, quick to the points and you both really j is your stuff, thanks ladies!
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 purchased Restream!!! You both did a fantastic job!
Yay! Thank you! 🎉
Cool...I like it! Thank you for a unique video!
Glad you liked it! Are you using either one of these?
Much love as always!
❤️❤️❤️
Alway a great video Luria!!
Thank you!!
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
Great video - just started on stream yard. Learned some new features - thx!
Great to hear, thanks! Which feature is your fav?
Trying to live stream today with streamyard on youtube-- studying up! This is fun to try and learn! Thanks for the info!
Great content guys... Very informative and entertaining. Thank you.
Great video! I appreciate both of you.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! 🎉 Hope you'll let us know how it goes!
Awesome comparison, very much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Wow THANK YOU guys so much for this! Yes I'm NEW and want to add live stream to my coaching business.
Thank you so much for giving us More ideas about streaming.
Thanks for sharing! It was very useful 🙌🚀
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.
Glad you liked it!! (choose Restream cough cough hahahahaha)
@@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 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
Great Job Guys!!
This is wonderful - thank you ladies!
Glad you enjoyed it! Are you planning to try one, or both, of these?
I love y'all's energy together!
Awww, thanks! ♥
I use restream and now that they have the event planner and FB and YT can be scheduled, we love it!
YESSSSS!!! I should have dug into that... d'oh!
This was insanely helpful, thank you!
Oh, and I currently use Restream, but I'm definitely considering Streamyard because it looks like the price is better for the features I need/want. That analytics feature with Restream is nice though...hopefully Streamyard picks that up soon. Thanks again!
Hello and welcome! 🎉 Glad the video was helpful!
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!
Hi! Great stuff! I am new! And, glad to learn from you!
Thanks ladies. It helped me make an intelligent decision.
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”.
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 😅
agreed so refreshing
Luria!!! This tag team is freaking amazing! Adding Melanie who’s I met on LSP... is perfect! I love her!
Hahaha yes! She's amazing!
@@LiveStreamingPros LOL Yasss
instablaster.
I am new to livestreaming. This is a great video! Thanks.
You are very welcome!
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 :)
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
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.
I like y'all! This was great!
Awww, thanks, we're so glad you liked it! 🎉
I do have StreamYard and will be using it very soon! May use Restream to broadcast on more platforms at once! Great valuable content in this video! 👍
New! Really a fabulous comparison! I use restream and compared it now with Streamyard. I will stay with Restream!
Yay!!! So glad it helped!! 🎉
Really good ,I’m just looking and watching videos.
Newish: Thank you so much for the comparison. Great content and gives me something to th about now. I've been testing OBS which is great and I'm comfortable using but sometimes you just need something easy to get you live with minimal effort. Thanks again!
Hello and welcome! 🎉 Glad you found the info helpful! Would you be looking to use Restream or Streamyard on mobile, or just as an alternative to OBS on your computer?
@@LiveStreamingPros just on the Mac.
Cool! Let us know how it goes! 👍
NEW!!! Thanks! This is helpful!
Yay!! So glad we could help 🤗
New but have been streaming with streamyard pro for over a year now on my channel. Fairly happy but wish we could do 4k with streamyard
You could reach out to their support team with that - it's the best way to get the features you want! 👍
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! ♥️
new ! i love your content i am hooked
Thank you so much and welcome!! Come say hi during one of our live streams :) Tuesday through Friday 10:00am PST!
@@LiveStreamingPros I will for sure ! I’m just moving into live stream for my business so your channel is PERFECT
New here! Thanks for the comparison!
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 think that Restream support is a little bit better also than Streamyard. They are responsive even at late nights when everyone is sleeping.
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've learned a lot. Thank u so much
Yay! ❤️ Awesome 😊
Ohhh I actually use StreamYard on a regularly basis, but also have pro access to restore am LOL which I loveeee too
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.
I actually recorded this type of tutorial to go out but OMG you idea is wayyyy better haha
❤️
Both platforms sounds amazing
amazing! thank you!
thanks. this is very helpful. Thanks Luria
Awesome! So glad it's been helpful :)
NEW! I will watch all your videos tonight :)))
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!
Thank You soooooooo Much! I am starting my new channel "The Freedom Project" and I'm def. leaning towards Restream. Looking forward to building a great platform.

Thanks for sharing this
You are very welcome!
great info, I am looking at these now to do some Amazon Live streaming. Tried to figure out OBS but it is a bit complicated so looking for one of these easier platforms, I want it to be professional looking and simple for a one person operation. thanks for the info
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.
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?
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 loved the look of this video!!!! Which platform did you use for this video?
I'm new! Checking your comparison
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. ;)
Reastream has won my heart.
♥️🎉
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
I pick StreamYard.
Awesome, we're so glad you found the right solution for you! (It's a pretty amazing tool, right? 😃)
New! Great video I think I still don' quite know. They both seem great!
They are! You could try both 0 they have free trial options - and see which one is a better fit for you! The links are in the description...
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!
Looking at updated info. :) Which has the BEST video and audio quality and features, retream or streamyard? :) Thank you so much again! Peace & Love!
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!
Nope, they both measure up on those! 🎇
@@LiveStreamingPros you continue to amaze Luria! Thank you again!
On the fence to which way to go... you gals are great by the way.
This a great video! As a Streamyard user, I have seen Melanie on her own channel who is fantastic. Got a couple of questions...
1) Restream still has no ability to record a file only unless you go Private and then download the file afterwards, is that correct?
2) Is there a definitive guide of the different layouts available in Restream? I've love to see a video of the different layouts available for 3 to 6 people.
3) The feature I'm finding so handy in Streamyard is Sharing a Video straight from desktop. I have previously shared a pre-recorded hour long video "as live" and have then been able to overlay the live comments over the top, which provides nice interaction. The risk is though - if my internet connection goes, I'm screwed. So, in Restream, if you schedule an uploaded video (great feature), can you go in and relay live comments on top at all?
It *seems* like the transitions and caption animations look a little classier on Restream, and of course there's the Analytics - which look great. Tough decision!
Great video. I really appreciate the unbiased, neutral-type of feature comparison you both worked together to produce.
Wonderful, and thank you, because it helped me make MY decision - reStream. ;-)
New here I need these tips thanks 🙏
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?
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! 😁
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. :)
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?
@@LiveStreamingPros no idea yet, as I have'nt made the time to research what the options are yet.
Well, if nothing else, you'll want to download anything from Periscope that you want to save...it'll close down at the end of March 2021!
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... 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?
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!!
New. I currently use streamyard but I’m thinking of switching to ecamm
Hello! For an online convention, interviews, easy streaming... which one is better? Greetings from Spain.
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
What platform was used to create this video?
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.
Hello Luria, I was Looking at restream and one thing what I find strange is that with restream you cannot change your Camera on the basic Plan. With Streamyard you can. My laptop has a Build in Camera but the lit is down. and cannot use an External Webcam. Is there a way to change that?
I'm actually doing a Restream live stream today if you want to join and talk more about it! One hour from now :) (10:00am PDT)
How did you guys add white strokes around of the videos like that, was that done in streamyard or reastream??
In the free version there video limitation? how many mb can I upload to exibe on the live?
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?
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...
@@LiveStreamingPros Thanks.
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.
I am currently using Stream Yard. I recently registered on Real Stream but I could not go live to 30 platforms on the free version. So how can I be able to go live on 10 platforms on the free version? I would use the paid version after I have reasonably mastered how to navigate Real Stream.
Any horns , countdowns on streamyard or restream?
New New New... ladies thank you for this Video really enjoyed it but you just made it more difficult for me to choose.
What about the 'remote producer' options and log-ins for my remote producer??? How do we have a producer produce us??
When you hire a remote producer, they already have a solution in place that they'll use to manage your shows. 👍
