# StreamYard

> Browser-based studio for live streaming and recording with guests

StreamYard is a live streaming and recording studio that runs in the browser. A host invites remote guests by link, arranges them on screen with logos, overlays and layouts, and streams to several platforms at once or records for later. It is also used for podcasts and webinars. The site's footer names Bending Spoons as the company that operates it.

## Key features

- **Browser studio with remote guests:** Guests join from a browser or phone through a link, with no download or account. Up to 6 people fit on screen on the Free plan and 10 on paid plans.
- **Multistreaming:** Send one stream to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Twitch and custom RTMP destinations at once: 3 destinations on Core and 8 on Advanced.
- **Local recordings:** Each participant's audio and video are recorded on their own device as separate files and uploaded in the background, so a weak connection does not blur the result.
- **Show branding:** Paid plans add logos, overlays, video clips, backgrounds, intro and outro videos and more than 16 custom layouts. Custom fonts need Advanced.
- **On-Air webinars and pre-recorded streams:** StreamYard On-Air hosts live webinars that can be embedded on your own site. Pre-recorded videos can be streamed as if live: up to 2 hours on Core and 4 on Advanced.
- **Clips and repurposing:** Trim and split recordings into short clips for Shorts and Reels inside StreamYard, which is free for all users. AI clips are part of the paid plans.

## Good for

- Solo creators running interview shows without a production crew
- Streaming one broadcast to several social platforms at once
- Podcasters who record remote guests on separate tracks

## Worth knowing

- The Free plan shows a StreamYard logo, limits monthly streaming hours and storage, and cannot stream live and record at the same time.
- Core and Advanced are for individual use only; companies are pointed to separate Business plans sold through sales.
- 4K local recordings, transcript downloads and On-Air webinars need the Advanced plan.
- StreamYard says plan prices can vary with promotions and renewal terms, and its 7-day money-back guarantee covers only the first charge.
