Meld Studio vs. StreamYard

Because it's browser-based, StreamYard is especially well-suited for a situation like mine, where I'm unlikely to have repeat podcast guests very often. It's great that guests don't have to download special software just for a one-time appearance! I haven't personally used StreamYard for livestreaming, but based on its name and reputation, I imagine it's especially well-suited for that use case

• It has an easy and comfortable interface for participants and admins.
• It provides the opportunity to add videos, banners, and slides to your session.
• It provides the opportunity to show live comments and answer to them right from StreamYard.

• One big downside is that you can't download separate high quality video and audio files for each person in the stream.
• The simplicity takes away from the "customization" that you could potentially have in other platforms.
• A backroom where you could communicate with other people in the stream, without streaming it while live, would be very useful.

• It has increased the reach rate and the number of followers on social media pages, for example, on our Youtube page, the number of followers increased by 2 times the original amount.
• It has reduced the amount of time our communications team spends on editing videos.
• More team members are able to use StreamYard by themselves, which has allowed us to reduce the time our communications team spends on managing live sessions before.
