About

ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from. Every time you take a screenshot, the image effect will be automatically applied to the screenshot. ShareX is written using C# programming language and .NET Framework. At present, the .NET technologies we utilise are only supported in Windows, and it is not possible for us to make it multi platform. There is a way to make software written using .NET Framework to work in Linux and Mac using Mono but it is not possible for ShareX to run using Mono because of hundreds of native calls, UI, external libraries and countless unsupported methods.

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.
