About

Use Facebook to live stream a chat, show, Q&A, or virtual event, or sell products through a live video. Learn how to make personal connections and create shared experiences with Facebook Live. You can go live on your Page, group, profile, or event using the Facebook app on your mobile device or by using a camera and streaming software (also known as an "encoder"). If you want to broadcast live with a camera and encoder, you should use Live Producer. If you go live from a desktop or laptop, you'll automatically be directed to Live Producer, which is also the way to go live on Facebook with higher-end production equipment and streaming software. With live polls, easily create polls before a broadcast starts and share them with fans during the broadcast.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use when it actually works. Other than that not much is really good about it. It rarely does.
  • Very easy to broadcast to a live audience on the largest scale possible. Have a great audience reach.
  • It is easy to use in the application or with a computer system internet browser, and also quite reliable. Furthermore, the analysis and metrics offered are extremely valuable, as well as allowing you to customize your discussion to better reach your target market. In addition, I particularly valued the choice of using a wireless microphone connected to a laptop for the programs; this has ensured that our visitors hear with exceptional quality.
  • Simple as it Works from within Facebook. Easy to get audience. Works from both desktop and mobile. Supports multi stream softwares like Restream.
  • Easy to use. Works right from Facebook website or app itself. Decent video quality & low bandwidth usage. Watch party feature.

Cons

  • No reach, viewers, visibility, hides comments, cuts out, kicks off viewers, cuts out sound.
  • The support feature provided by Facebook can be improved.
  • Sometimes it will certainly remove a longer webcast, however, there are ways to resolve this hassle. Analyzes are also not readily available on the mobile app, you can only access them on a computer system. Not a big problem, but it would certainly be appropriate to be able to consult them on the go, rather than having to wait until you are back at work.
  • No analytics feature. Full of low quality streams ( content wise ).
  • Needs moderation on content . No innovative features. Doesn't not allow collaborative streaming - like Squad streaming feature of twitch.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 💯 Very User-Friendly 💯 Easy to Adapt 💯 Comprehensive features 💯 Not resource demanding 💯 No installations--just go to the site! 💯 Can be customized!
  • Great for live streams, you have the option of live casting to multiple platforms, I like the option of paying a monthly or annual fee. You can stream from all the major social media outlets as well.
  • This software is like no other. It allows people to be able to stream across various platforms and has a professional setup, similar to news channels. The split screen feature is great. StreamYard also allows for information to be displayed to viewers on a scrolling marquee.
  • I host a talk show and recently tried StreamYard after using another streaming application for almost two years. It is easy to use. The best part is the ease in playing my brand's video before my interviews. No more sharing a screen to do so as with another streaming service! Love it! Further, it is a plus that we can share our guests' names and even a ticker tape. I am still learning. My first live went without a hitch.
  • I love that StreamYard is so user friendly. I like to think I'm techie, but I'm not really. However, StreamYard makes is so easy to livestream to multiple platforms at once and the platform itself makes me look like a techie. I've received so many compliments on how cool my livestreams look.

Cons

  • One thing that I find missing is to be able to have a feature where we get to have a background music in our streams, as of the moment what we do is we do load it straight from share screen then just hide the share screen window.
  • I don't have cons at this time as I just started using the program.
  • Initially, it was difficult for me to connect the app to Facebook. Facebook made it difficult to find on their platform. Another problem that I noticed is that there’s a delay from when a viewer types something in the chat until when it appears on screen.
  • This is not a major con but when guests share their screen, I have to admit their screen into the studio.
  • Um...there's nothing I don't like about StreamYard.
