GUESTS : Daniel & Mel 

• Top live streaming tips :
  DANIEL  – Just get started! SY makes it easy to stream or just record. Once you have done it you will find your flow. Get practising on private / on record only to test and see what you like & where you can improve! 
  MEL – Start with what you have! All you need is your phone! Can use SY on phone or use as your webcam! Learn as you go along and add what you want later. The sky is the limit for live video! 
• Fav SY Feature : 
  MEL – SO hard, not just one…. Displaying comments!! SO good for engagement. You have to coach audience to comment, but showing them gets them involved faster!! Pinned / starred comments, makes managing the comments easier! Love that queue to make easier! Uploading videos to play as ads, intros etc too in stream!! 
  DANIEL – Short videos in our game show as introducing each section & the giveaway tool – means more interaction on the stream!! 
• Local Recordings – Thoughts on it!!
  DANIEL – Love that we can use this to get higher quality recordings without any instability / risk on quality, great for our repurposing!! Love it!
  MEL – Plan to use it – sky’s the limit! Local recording opens up what we can do creatively! Being able to do post production editing that creates something else new! And to let people consume how they want on different social platforms!

Most notable memory from early days? 

• Geige : First building SY out – spent time in the space, Ileane Smith, Ross Brand, Daniel Batal etc & enjoyed watching and learning how they were using it! Was great to see them all adopting it as their software!  
• Dan : 100s of them – Doing tech support early on, when not a big team, and being on call with user working on browser issue, guest had issue joining. Over email, guest had to go off, so I jumped on the show so they could do live every day! 

What did early SY team look like? 

• Dan : We were bootstrapped – no funds raised! Just Geige and I, with just two of us for 2 years, then we took on team, customer support – so brought in Geige’s mum – still here now! One of best employees! Mum is book keeper and she helped us out!! Hired Dana few months later, dana hired Kelsey, Kelsey hired others… 

What are you most excited for about the future of SY? 

• Geige :  The pace at which we can develop now we have bigger team. Local recordings is just the start. Love the industry we are in – can’t wait to see how things transform & what we will be working on then!!
