LIVE QUESTION & ANSWER
Any chance of uploading pictures to share in guest spot?
- Definitely a popular request
- We are working on something similar
When will we be able to livestream to Instagram?
- No public API still as yet
- We want to remain compliant with their policies
- As soon as we can we will look at this
Can you add loops to uploaded featured videos for stinger etc?
- Curious to know usage case for this to be able to make decision and best build this if and when we do
- Is this for taking break to loop over and over?
- Not as easy but could upload a GIF to loop if just a logo – for example?
Can we see time remaining on video uploads
- We are looking at this to make it a better experience
- Certainly important to know when you are back live again
Can you are a few different transition requests?
- Thanks for the suggestion
- Open to this
- Curious to know more on what you are after exactly…
- Between layouts?
- With video overlays themselves?
Is it possible to have these episodes with Spanish subtitles?
- Not sure on LIVE, but believe that we have them on replay on YouTube
- We will check on this
Feature request for giveaway tool…
Winner to be presented form to gather their details and sent to that streamers email?
- Cool idea
- Viewers on social platform so not got emails currently
- Love to look at changing to help this
Been using giveaway tool – not every user has seen their name in the draw – why might this be?
- It randomly selects and shows them
- Cycles through names
- Privacy settings on LinkedIn & Facebook group need to grant permissions
Is there a way to share screen via mobile?
- If you mean from desktop to share mobile screen then there are a range of tools you can use to share your mobile screen
- However screen sharing is NOT supported on mobile Streamyard version
Any info on timing of the Teams features release?
- Date not set
- Early Summer
Would love to see GO LIVE button in different place than top right & sign out after livestream?
- Curious why you want to sign out? Are you on someone else’s computer?
Any plans to be able to cross fade between two cameras?
- Definitely a common request
- Certainly open to
- No outline on what this would look like or dates on this
Have technical issues streaming to Facebook & YouTube this week been resolved and why does the “view this episode on Facebook” take us to a new place in Facebook?
- Yes this has been updated and fixed as was a Facebook issue
- 4/5 months ago Facebook scheduling used to be single post which was the LIVE, now there is promo post & the actual LIVE which is different post
- Not great experience, users need to refresh the page & Facebook are working on this
Would be good to have private cohost chat from guests to resolve issues etc
- Great idea that comes up a lot
- Like to work out elegant way to do this
Like to be able to remove guests from studio completely?
- You can do this in tiles at the bottom
- “Kick from studio”
- “Ban from studio” – if you have authentication turned on
- With authentication on users have to log in with social channel to prove who they are so you can control their access
Could we pin comments?
- Noted and something we are working on
Do you know how many people managed to successfully post a VEDA?
- Julie is managing this
- Got to check in how many took part in this Video Every Day In April
Can we drag and organise overlays & video clips ?
- Watch this space
- This is something coming very soon
Would love to see ticker line scroll left to right
- We know this is important to some languages
- Better language support in the app coming relatively soon
- Not in the first iteration
When adding a guest first guest loses solo view why is this?
- We had to consider our pillar around ease of use when making this choice
- If you added them and they didn’t appear anywhere it could be confusing
- Appreciate this could be issue for more advanced usage cases
- Have considered allowing this as option
Would be great to be able to redo my ‘Record Only’ videos without leaving the studio – is this possible?
- At this time not yet
- Can understand why you want this
- Would be good to be able to pause and restart
Does Streamyard have a Check List for new users that could be shared in the Facebook group?
