Favourite Halloween Candy?

  • Geige :  Simple when it comes to Halloween Candy – mini (or any size) KitKat Bars!

MEET THE TEAM : Christian 

  • WHAT DO YOU DO AT STREAMYARD? 
    Artist & work in customer support rep, I am normally on early morning hours to support you! 
  • WHERE DO YOU LIVE?  
    NYC – moved July 2019! 
  • HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT STREAMYARD?
    6 months next week on Tuesday!
  • FAV SY FEATURE : 
    Probably ease of use, so all features that make it simpler! How it makes streaming more accessible to more people. How it syncs easily and so many branding options
  • WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOUNGER?
    Doctor or something – Typical kid, but turned into artist, specifically acting! Rebelled against it but went back to it at 16! 
  • HOW DID YOU GET INTO CUSTOMER SUPPORT?
    My girlfriend works for Streamyard! I was doing COVID safety in basement 9 hour a day! She was asking me questions about support, so encouraged me to apply! Applied Jan and started up in May!! 
  • FAV KARAOKE SONG :
    Just The Way You Are by Billy Joel 
  • FAV BOARD GAME :
    Mysterium – on person plays as a ghost, and everyone else plays as mediums, and they have to figure out (a bit like ‘clue’ / cleudo), They have to work out who killed the person to create the ghost, where and what was murder weapon. Ghost can only speak through vision cards. Really abstract – so you have to guess! Played over 7 rounds.
  • FAV HALLOWEEN CANDY :
    Reeses Peanut Butter Cups – ALL THE WAY! Specifically Pumpkin shaped ones! They tasted better! FAV candy of all time! 
  • WHAT CAM & MIC DO YOU USE? 
    Fuji Film XT3 – Had no webcam, so picked up capture card and got setup for meetings, Mic is Samsung Q9U – equivalent of SHURE SM7B, can use by USB Mic too! 
  • FAV & LEAST FAV THING ABOUT WORKING AT STREAMYARD
    BEST = Remote, wake up and log on. Love team & the energy & keeps me on the edge of technology! Love hearing about how people use the technology. 
    WORST = A problem I can’t figure out! Frustrating, never want to leave a customer without solution! 

LIVE Q&A 

What do you have planned for Halloween?

  • First Halloween in Texas, so not sure what it’s like here?
  • Probably give candy to the local trick or treaters

Any idea why when I go to SY Studio it blocks my Cam & Mic? 

  • It’s likely to be permissions things in browser!
  • Support should be able to help you 
  • If it’s still an issue, we will get escalated : contact@streamyard.com

Is Facebook monitored on weekends? After help with Streamdeck on Streamyard

  • Yes the mods are in group at the weekends
  • Curious why you asked – does it feel less moderated on weekends? 
  • No direct integration with Streamdeck 
  • You can tie ‘hotkeys’ to the Streamdeck 
  • If you search Streamdeck on support pages – should find some community made apps, may make new one officially sometime!

Is it possible to have giveaway in the studio not as screen share ?

  • Was a test to see how well used it was
  • Plan is to make better and add more features
  • But not as yet

Can 2 people from online network stream via Streamyard to the same destination at the same time?

  • Generally depends on the platforms 
  • Should be OK across YouTube, Facebook & Linkedin 
  • May have issues on Twitch 

 

Company values at Streamyard & any advice for us if we wanted to work with you? 

  • 2 sets of values as part of bigger company (Hopin) each has their own 
  • Development team live by the THREE PILLARS (Ease Of Use, Stability & Professional Streams!)
  • Hiring : We look at enthusiasm and work ethic & well as skills! 

 

Youtube Community Tab – Thought son using for livestreams? 

  • We don’t use at SY much but like to use it more! 
  • Only way to integrate with Livestreams is to use as input and way to get ideas & topics 

 

Is there a guide for sizes of lower thirds for streams?

  • There is a google spreadsheet with the coordinates for the layouts
  • Search the Facebook Community Group 
  • Or ask Stremayard.com/contact 

Any plans to do another giveaway tool? Where people can put in email address for virtual draw? 

  • Unique on SY Giveaway -it’s realtime comments & optimised for screens hare 
  • Could do from list on various giveaway sites 

How can I monitor audio levels of my guests? I can adjust dB levels but can’t hear how it sounds next to my audio? Visual gauge would be great!

  • Feedback we have had before
  • Default audio settings auto adjust the volumes to be the same 
  • Controls are there to change but no way there currently to test without doing test stream / record only
  • Can do record only to test settings and levels 

Any chance of web overlays? 

  • Definitely interested in exploring 
  • In general want to add more customisation but need to remember ease of use core pillar
