A bit about StreamYardLive streaming is a great medium for storytelling – and telling great stories benefits everyone. Whether you’re a creator, content marketer, entrepreneur, or just someone with something to say, live streaming is an exciting and effective way to spread your message.
But live streaming tools are very complicated. You shouldn’t need to spend thousands of dollars on a computer, or learn about encoding, just to start live streaming. The world misses out on so many great creators because of these barriers.
Enter StreamYard - a streaming tool that anyone can use – a tool that's fun instead of stressful – a tool that's simple, but powerful enough to create engaging content. We want people who aren't techy, or who simply don’t want to deal with the hassle of streaming, to still go live, share their stories, and grow their own communities, and that's why we work tirelessly to improve our tool and create the best experience possible for our StreamYard community.
