right now you can see my screen and you can also see me here this stream yard all right you can
see different layouts here right i'm down here down below you're just seeing my screen here now
me sort of side by side there's isaiah back there say hello bud there you go he's doing some
homework on the ipad um and so this is streamer this allows me to make a really professional
looking uh live stream show uh on youtube and all the different platforms um on uh really easily
on stream yard you can see the the ticker cape right down below you see the little ticker there
uh it says get a 14 day free trial of stream yard that is also on stream yards very much built in
the music that you're hearing there's some background music here royalty free
music this is also done by stream yard and i can actually control the mix of how loud the music is
compared to my volume my audio my mic again that is done all through stream yard okay you can see
comments that are coming in now so there's some comments here i can pull that onto the screen
and again that is also stream yard okay uh all really easy with the click of a button here that
can all happen um i can make the comments a little bit bigger if i like classic right takes full
width there or block minimal there's different looks that are available as well all right
i can also put logos um up on the screen there on the top right you'll see the stream yard logo
the you screen logo uh different logos there that i want to put and brand
my stream okay very cool very easy again looks really professional without having to do much work
all right monty i see you bro good to see you here thanks for hanging out team balasab sabbas awesome
awesome man appreciate you man uh good to see you as always alright so there we go so it's
a little bit about stream yard um let me share back here again um i'm gonna talk a little bit
about pricing because that's very important so let's cover that right from the jump all right
so there is a free version of stream yard you can see it here there's a free version of stream yarn
now the the stream yard branding will stay in your stream right it's free you know so you can use it
for free in exchange stream yard gets a little bit of you know promotion a little bit of marketing
um you know to your uh to your audience you know through your shows and your live streams by having
their logo um on the stream now there's also a limit right you can limit 20 hours per month
on the free plan i'll tell you right now that's plenty of hours that's basically one hour per day
five days a week for a whole month of streaming now i stream maybe twice a month at the most
um you know at the most one hour each time so at the most i'm streaming about eight hours a month
right some some months maybe a little bit more some months a little bit less all right and then
also you're limited to six participants so six people on the screen right so right now there's
one of me uh but if i wanted to then you could have six guests or five guests including yourself
that's six um on the screen all right that's the free plan you guys see the free plan right there
now we're gonna zoom out here there's two other plans one is basic at twenty dollars a month
and professional at thirty nine dollars per month now going with uh the paid plans you're removing
the branding right you can put your own branding nobody needs to know that it's stream yard if
you want you can then use overlays backgrounds rtmp destinations we can get into that as well
um you can have pre-recorded streams you know multi-streaming all of that and then
uh on the professional plan then you can also do multiple cameras you can go full hd you can
have a little bit more recording time um and also more destinations if you want to go live on more
destination which is called multi-streaming okay um and then there you go all right so
that's the pricing i want to make sure that that's covered because that's going to be a
important factor in deciding if whether or not stream yard is for you all right so you can also
go annually or monthly if you go annually then you save you know a little bit of money just like any
software out there all right so if you're paying monthly the monthly is a little higher if you go
annually you get a bit of a discount but you got to pay upfront for the whole year so my suggestion
go to free trial if you like it it's 14 days you got 14 days to play with it
and then uh decide if you want to upgrade to a monthly try it out for a month or two and
then if you feel like it's a good tool for you it's the right tool for you for live streaming
then go to the annual so you save yourself some money because you're going to be paying it
anyway right so there you have it all right so that's the pricing
all right um let's dive in so let's pretend that now you've already set up your account your stream
yard account this is what it's going to look like in the back end all right when you come in and
you log in this is your dashboard on stream yard you're going to see all your broadcasts now your
broadcast means these are your scheduled streams so you can see that i have a scheduled stream here
um on youtube so you guys will see this right so you've got all your different schedule streams
and for each one you can go into the studio okay so there's your studio right there
we can go into that in just a second but i want to show you the video tab so on the left hand
side here you'll see videos right you'll see that right there that's where i'm going to draw your
attention videos if i click on that that is all of my live streams it actually records a copy
of my live stream here this is important because now we are we live in a time of repurposing right
repurposing is such a hot buzzword right so you wanna when you do a live stream you wanna be able
to download this you wanna take snippets of it and maybe put it onto linkedin or facebook or maybe
you want to edit it down so that you can then have little short clips you might want to turn it into
shorts or instagram reels you may want to take the audio and also upload it to your podcasting
platform for your podcast which you can do here so if i'm gonna scroll in i'm gonna zoom in
i'm gonna click one of these and you can see that i can download the recording i can also
embed the recording maybe on my website or my blog i can stream the recording so i can stream
the recording again as a replay without me having to be there alright if i download the recording
i'm going to click on that zoom out these are the options that i have so i have the option of
downloading the full video recording just the audio or individual audio recordings this is
really really really important especially if you have a podcast and you want to edit the podcast
and you might want to download individual audio files for you and your guests so that you can
control and balance out the audio right maybe your guess is a little loud you're a little hot
you know you're a little soft you want to balance it out all right so you can download each one of
these individually which is really really important and super helpful okay all right
let's get out of that um all right now that's videos okay destinations is the next tab here
so destination so destinations basically means these are the places where you can live stream
and you can live stream to one destination or you can live stream to multiple destinations
at the same time okay it's very important if you click on the add a destination button here this
blue blue button here this will open up a bunch of different options and so you can see here these
are all the places you can live stream to and you can connect all of your pages and channels to
stream yard makes it really easy for you to then go live on those destinations all right
let's go back here to broadcast well actually no let's talk about members real quick this is a new
feature that streamy are just launched members and so if i click on that members basically you
can add other people to access your stream yard account so maybe you have a team member
maybe you have a co-host maybe you have a producer that takes care and sets up your live streams or
runs your live streams remotely um very important and so there's different access
levels here and you can add them to your stream yard account really easily
that way you don't have to share logins and all of that stuff share your password and all those
things makes it really easy they have their own login and they have their own access all right
so there you have it so now that is members now let's go back to broadcast i want to show you
the actual broadcast studio i'm gonna click on broadcast again and i'm gonna go in and uh just
actually create a test one so i'm gonna click this blue create a broadcast button right here
click on use uh sorry new broadcast all right so now i get this pop-up
so you can see here remember all of my destinations all of my destinations are here now
which includes record only this is awesome for people youtubers or video creators you can just
use this dashboard and all of the tools overlays all of that stuff to then record your videos and
upload it later okay so let's do that let's do a record only and i'm gonna do test create broadcast
okay so as that's loading um this is perfect i'm gonna just make some more
room here so now it's gonna show you okay let's just test everything how's the camera
see my camera let's see how the mic is going it's great i'm gonna tap on my mic it picks it up
perfect and i'm gonna end i'm gonna mute it though just so that we don't have any interference okay
and i'm gonna enter the studio now i'm gonna show you around real quick here because this is really
important um what this is gonna look look like for you what you're looking at now all right so first
of all you are right here so anything down here that's you okay so that's my camera i'm gonna add
myself to the stream there you go now i'm on the stream everything that you see here in this square
this preview this is the preview anything you see here is what will show up on youtube or facebook
live or linkedin live this is this is what's going to show up during your live stream okay now
over here we've got uh some buttons here these are your layouts okay so you can have different
layouts here so you with a guest you with a guest in a different layout you with a few more guests
you want to get you and the screen and different things here okay so that's your layouts now down
below you then have your options now you and your guests will have these options available to you
you can unmute mute show your camera you have your settings you can share your screen right
you can invite other people or leave the studio okay now on the right hand side we've got comments
i'm gonna actually zoom in a bit here so you can see comments we've got your banners as well okay
you've got your brand right so this is your branding right here and there's also a private
chat as well so that you and your guest can have some private chats you know as you're like saying
like hey guys you know uh i've got five more minutes left i gotta hop out or hey share this
link or you know whatever that chat is that's in your private chat right there okay very helpful
okay now let's go back to comments now anything here in the comments this will be the feed that
will pull in all of the comments from the live stream show right so if somebody was commenting
on your lives on your live stream on youtube um it will show up here okay it will show up as
different comments right here now the cool thing is once they're there right you can click on it so
you can see here i'm clicking on this one and you can then click on show and so if you click on show
it shows up on the screen super easy looks really professional and it's right there all right
i'm gonna click on banner okay so banner let's go down to the banner here this one right here
next one banner and these are banners and so basically what you can do is you can set up
a new banner so test banner here you can set it to be scrolling at the bottom like a ticker tape
right and so there you have it and there's your test banner i can also have a banner where it
doesn't scroll like this one and you can set up these questions ahead of time right they could
be questions they could be topics they could be bullet point number one tip number one whatever
it is you can set them up here ahead of time okay very cool next thing is brand
right so now that brand is right there hopefully you remember where that is just right below banner
and so here you can choose your brand colors right you can choose your themes as well
you can then also upload your logos right there you can also upload overlays right right there
this is overlays you can upload video clips ahead of time so that if you're going to play a clip
from a youtube video or a tutorial or a screen share or something right maybe uh a specific
move if you're doing you know fitness videos or fitness streams then you can do that as well
you can also put in your your so you can upload a bunch of backgrounds there's already a lot of
backgrounds here that are already put in by uh stream yard so you can see all of these different
backgrounds that are already uploaded that you can choose from and it's really easy all right
you can also add your own background it's very simple all right very easy now below that i
mentioned earlier is your background music and there's your background music you can choose from
a bunch of different background musics here you can also choose it to loop or also to mix in how
