Background

StreamYard is used by artists, live-streamers and webinar hosts from around the world to broadcast video online. It is also a common way for online live-stream hosts to bring guests on their broadcast.

The format of StreamYard is similar to that of its discontinued counterpart, Google Hangouts, which was replaced by Google Chat in 2019. The host of the broadcast utilizes a shareable link to invite friends or guests to be part of the broadcast or meeting.

Web browsers such as Google Chrome, Opera, and Firefox support StreamYard.[3]

StreamYard allows broadcasting to numerous platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), and Twitch.
