I've been looking for a software like this for ages one that would allow us to host a free live training or webinar in a really nice and simple way well I finally found it and in this video I'm going to show you exactly how you can use it too so the platform is called streamyard and not only are you going to be able to host your live training but you can also stream it to different social media profiles as well which is super convenient and the reason I love this one so much is because of how easy it makes it for your clients to join the training other platforms will make your clients log in or have to remember their password or email them a magic link this one you don't have to do any of that you just share a simple link with them and then they are going to enter in their name and be able to watch the training and access the chat so this is going to work perfectly with any other email marketing tool that you're using all right so here is the pricing and as you can see there is a free plan which is great the only thing is you will have their logo in your streams so if if you want to upgrade to basic then that will go away and of course you'll get more features as well so cross compare this but not too bad from free up to $49 a month all right let's create your first training you're just going to click create and then on air webinar okay and then you're going to put the title and a description okay and you can set up registration but what I loved is that I didn't need this right if you already have people on your email list which is what I recommend you don't need them to then register again to watch the training so I'm going to leave that off right now the live viewer limit is set to 250 so you can click here if you need to upgrade for more than that okay then you're going to schedule your start time so let's just say I'm going to do it today at 1:00 okay and then you can upload a thumbnail as well okay so there's my thumbnail and I'm going to hit apply perfect and then create so now you're going to see this in your list of streams and recording to share the link with all of your clients you're going to click share and then copy this link here and this is what they will see okay so really nice and simple you can't really customize this too much but I think that's totally fine okay so now for you as the presenter you're going to click enter studio and then click settings and make sure that you are connected to the right camera okay great so I'm going to choose my webcam perfect and I'm going to like adjust my background to make it look as nice as I can okay good enough and then you can choose your camera resolution so I'd recommend 720 or higher so then you're going to connect to your mic so here I would choose that one okay great so that's all we need to do there and then you're going to type in your name and click enter studio all right awesome so next what you're going to do is hover over you on video and click add to Stage okay and then if you go over here to Brand you'll see all the different ways that you can customize your stream so I would recommend putting in one of your hex colors here so you'll just paste in that code then of course you can choose the theme you can upload your logo if you want um but what I actually did was I created these overlays in canva and then all you have to do is click here to upload that okay but once you upload it all you have to do is hover over it and click show and that will add to the top of your video so that looks nice so I was hosting a free live training this week and so I had all the different days I would um show what day it was okay so you can do that you can also upload video clips to play and you can adjust the background color so that's what I added here as well all right cool so now in terms of display you'll see that you have all these options here along the bottom of your video so if there was two of you you could use that one um if you had slides you could use this one so let's go ahead and present some slides you're going to go down here to present and then slides and click your computer to upload a file okay so you'll want to upload a PDF file of your slides okay so I've already done that so let's click present and then slides you can see my files here perfect okay so now you can see the different layouts right we have this one we have this one here this one here adjust slides if you want right so you actually have a ton of options which I really like I really like how custom you can make this look so what I ended up doing is creating this custom layout here if you click on the pencil icon you can actually move the items around and get that looking how you want it okay so I set this layout here and then I added on my little overlay and this is what my training looked like okay so you can customize this for your brand however you want and when you're presenting your slides all you have to do is use the arrows on your keyboard to go through your different slides so this has been so nice and easy to use as well as a presenter so I am a huge fan all right now let's say you are done with your slides you're just going to hover over them and click remove and then you're going to change the layout again so that's just one thing you have to do click on that and I'll go full screen again again okay now you can also share your screen as well so if you click present you'll see share screen so you can also you know I was doing some different Tech tutorials and things like that so you can certainly do that as well okay so I'm sharing my screen and I was able to do a little Tech tutorial and then when I was done just hit remove there all right now let's say you're ready to go live you're just going to go over here to comments so you can see all of the comments that come in now you're going to click go live then go live perfect and you are live and then all of the comments are going to come in here on the right and as I said from the user's perspective it's really nice and simple so let's go ahead and show you the users point of view or the client's point of view okay great so this is what it looks like and then all your client has to do is Click join the chat and enter in their first and last name to join the chat but they could watch the video either way without doing this part right and then they'll just click join the chat and they'll be in there over here on the right so I absolutely love this this is something that I was looking for so if you two have been experimenting with different softwares I think you are absolutely going to love this one and be near obsessed and so then what's cool is as the comments come in you can actually hover over it and click show and they will come up on screen so this really made it feel like a community event where we were having a back and forth conversation so really L that and used that throughout my training so not only can you show it on screen but you can also go over here and react with an emoji which is great um or you can star particular comments if needed and on top of this you can also add banners so if you go over here and click create Banner like you know join the program now for example you can click add Banner and then you can also show that on screen so that is pretty cool okay let's do a longer example okay there you go all right so that is streamyard I absolutely love it of course go into the studio mode and just practice with it for a bit and get comfortable switching between the different views and everything but yeah this was really great I used it all week now what's cool is not only can you just stream right here in this webinar room but you could also choose to stream to different destinations at the same time so if I click this here you'll see that I could have also been streaming to my Facebook page also been streaming to a Facebook group um you can also do LinkedIn you can do Instagram live so that is so handy you can expand your reach and be uh streaming all your different platforms at the same time so that is my training on how to use streamyard I hope that this was so helpful for you and that you can now go and connect with your audience through live video thank you so much for watching this video if you liked it let me know by giving it a thumbs up drop me a comment below if you have any questions at all and I'll see you real soon with another [Music] video
