FUN FACT : Fav type of exercise?
- Geige : Should do more – but love walking – where I can listen to music / podcasts!
- Dan: Growing up was hockey – and still is now! Or weights in the Gym – body weight exercises!
Local Recording Integration / Export + On Air Thumbnails
- When exporting audio you now have options to have a project file for Premiere / Final Cut with all clips lined up
- When sharing On-Air to social platforms, you now have thumbnails you can upload that should show for this sharing
Snap Camera is going away!
- Officially after jan 25th Snap Camera is going away
- Is this a BIG loss for you?
- How many of you are using this?
- How important are filter for you?
- Obviously you have custom backgrounds in Streamyard
Do you have any streaming goals for 2023?
- For Streamyard – To finally hit 100k subscriber mark on YouTube?
- What are yours?
LIVE Q&A
Is there a way to set outro video where stream ends?
- You can set thumbnail & play outro
- Each platform ends slightly differently
- This should mean you get similar end to all platforms if you leave slide for 5 seconds at the end
Any update on embedding On-Air chat?
- Definitely a high priority to do that
- Team are working on this
- Not sure release date – but in progress at the moment
Starting at Square 1 – Where do I start?
- Go to Streamyard.com and sign up for FREE plan and try a record only / unlisted livestream to get experience using Streamyard
- When you sign up – you will also get video explainer
- You can check out more videos on the Streamyard YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@StreamYard
Can you have closed captions in Streamyard?
- Do you mean ‘burned in’ captions that appear on the video?
- What exactly did you mean here as each platform creates captions – are they not good enough?
- If pre-recorded you can add them burned into video ahead of time
Can you disable avatar for On-Air as they show on all comments taking unnecessary space? Or will you be adding avatars for guests?
- Definitely want to improve this
- Want to show the initials of the person
- Maybe look at adding avatars as they join
- How would you like to see this?
Could we have control to have GIF overlay when switching between each scene / overlay?
- We are working on customisations to the whole look and feel / run of show
- Stay tuned for that
Can you livestream on Twitter?
- Yes!
- Sadly no chat on Twitter’s API
- Hoping they add this soon!
Not loving FB events! Can we change back?
- Sadly Facebook Events is on their end
- We don’t get to change this back
- Facebook creates an event under all circumstances for livestreams now
Do you have plans for transitions for overlays?
- We added this for videos recently
- We have considered for overlays as well
- Always consider adding too many features settings – baring in mind ‘ease of use’ pillar
- Might change it to work like that rather than settings – open to feedback
Who can I speak to about partner / collaborators opportunities?
- Great to hear you want to work together!
- Email contact@streamyard.com // marketing@streamyard.com
When do you think we will get synced download for DaVinci Resolve
- We hope to have more options like this soon
- We are looking to have aligned clips for all editors, not specific to programme
- When this is out would love to know if that resolves this for you
Can we change On-Air thumbnail to be custom? We are using for events not webinars?
- Can upload anything you like as thumbnail
- Guessing we are using ‘Webinar’ in the copy somewhere
- Will look to do adapt this to make sense for different usage cases
- Looking at more customisation for the registration process so it makes sense to all the individual usage cases
- Great feedback
Is local recording turned on automatically? If not can it be made obvious to turn on before going live?
- No on by Default
- Once you set it first time it does for future broadcasts
- When setting up next streams should highlight the option for you
- Appreciate the feedback
Could we get some analytics after stream?
- Other than view count from each platform what else would you like to see?
- Can already get analytics from each platform – though can see benefit to seeing them all in one place!
Sometimes it looks like SY might be missing comments from YouTube / Facebook
- Shouldn’t be common thing
- Might be filtered by platform if considered SPAM
Is there a way to create live link, say the logo, to your website?
- Not possible right now on social platforms
- We are just sending the stream to platforms
- You could do this in description (at top) so it’s clickable link!
- Or you could add to chat from inside Streamyard studio?
- Can have banner to display on screen – though people would have to manually type this!
- Could include QR Codes in the design of logo / overlays
3 People I referred to SY forgot to use my link? How do I contact partners programme?
- Easiest is to email contact@streamyard.com
Will there be more transitions for overlays?
- The team are working on a range of customisation features for Streamyard’s overlays and how you move between scenes
- Excited to hear more when this rolls out
- What sort of transitions would you be interested in? Just fades or more than that?
- And how much would you like to be able to control the transitions?
Are you like or connected to VidIQ
- Very different
- VidIQ is chrome extension to analyse streams
- Streamyard is for actually streaming
