Live streaming and recording platform built for professional broadcasts.
The reliable choice for live broadcasts you intend to clip later.
What is Streamyard?
Streamyard is a browser-based live streaming and recording studio that lets you broadcast to multiple platforms simultaneously — YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitch, and more — while recording a high-quality local copy. It's widely used by B2B companies, agencies, and content teams for live shows, webinars, and panel recordings.
The Review
Streamyard's role in the clipping economy is as a source generator — it's where you record the long-form content that eventually becomes clips. Its key advantage over Zoom or Teams for this purpose is that it streams and records simultaneously, producing a clean local recording with branded lower thirds, logo overlays, and multi-guest layouts already baked in. This means less post-production before clipping.
The platform is browser-based with no software install required, which reduces friction for guests and panelists. For B2B companies running regular live shows or webinars, Streamyard produces more clip-ready source material than most alternatives. It does not include clipping features itself, so it needs to be paired with a dedicated clipping tool downstream.
