User Testimonials
	StreamYard	YouTube Live
Likelihood to Recommend	StreamYard StreamYard is a great tool to create good-looking and engaging live sessions on social media. It allows adding visuals and videos, showing comments, as well as communicating with your audience and speakers in one place. StreamYard is also a great tool to film interviews or info sessions for those who are not familiar with video editing as it allows you to add all the necessary visuals with one click. StreamYard is great for communication with an extended audience. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google It's really a great platform for people that want to go live or stream. There are already so many people using the platform and if you go live on youtube there should be a boost in your viewer count. It's also fun being able to stream/ go live, on your phone, iPad, camera, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	StreamYard The StreamYard interface is more functional and easy to understand for participants, speakers, and team members. StreamYard also allows managing live streams in the app without the need to go to social media for checking comments, replying to them, etc. Simultaneously, StreamYard has many more options compared to other similar tools. For example, it allows sharing slides from different PowerPoints and screens, adding videos, visuals, and live comments with one click. Due to these options, we save time on managing live sessions and our broadcasts look much more professional and engaging.

Return on Investment	StreamYard Since we started the LIVE podcast on StreamYard we have added over $200k in top-line revenue. Keep in mind there are processes around this and StreamYard is just a piece of the puzzle. An important piece that allows us to be consistent. It has helped us be consistent for over 200 episodes of the podcast. Incentivized Luis Alfonzo Camejo Founder Read full review	Google No answers on this topic
