- Here Is The Extremely Easy Way To Add INTRO and OUTRO Videos To Your Live Stream Videos On Streamyard. StreamYard Works With Facebook, UA-cam, LinkedIn, Periscope, Twitch, and Custom RTMP Outputs. Learn more about Streamyard: streamyard.com...
This is the live video platform that I use on my Christmas on Crestline channel. Streamyard allows you to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously. Streamyard is one of the easiest ways to create professional live streams. You can conduct meetings, video chat with friends and family, have virtual social gatherings, etc.
At first, I was confused on how to add my channel's intro video. I was unable to locate any UA-cam tutorials on how to add it so I figured I'd help everyone out and film a short How-To. I hope this helps you out!!!
Here is the link to the fine folks over at Streamyard: streamyard.com/
720P Quality Improvements: As of this morning (8/3/20), they have greatly improved the picture quality of 720P broadcasts on all plans (Free, Basic, Pro). Your camera, screen share, and video overlays will all look better.
1080P (Full HD) Option: Professional users can now broadcast in 1080p! They think the 720P improvements will be plenty for most users, but if you would like a trial of 1080p, go to this link (streamyard.com...) To set your broadcast to 1080, enter the studio, click the settings wheel on right side of the page, and set the stream to 1080.
More Destinations: Basic users can now multistream to an additional destination (3 total), and Professional users can multistream to 8 destinations.
More Participants: Basic and Professional users can now have up to 10 guests on screen (up from 6)
Recordings Saved Longer: Basic and Professional users will now have access to their recordings for 15 days

As always folks, thanks for tuning in!
Wish all Tutural vids were that simple
Thanks, Vandalia. I'm happy this worked well for you.
Christmas on Crestline too bad my intro was to big
@@Vandalia1998 Ah, that'll get ya. I've found that 8 seconds is about the longest into it will accept. One solution is to have a special/unique intro for your lives vs your normal intro. That way you can create something that is both neat for the viewer and something that fits the file limitations.
Amazing introduction thank you for d sharing this video God Blessed you
You are so welcome, Ara! God bless you too!
Might I suggest how I start with an intro video-it’s a bit simpler: I add myself to the stream first. I then click on the video and then Start Broadcast (you forgot to mention that). My video happens to be a countdown, so I don’t mind if a second or two are missed. If you want to make sure that the audience sees your entire intro, then you’ll want to click Start Broadcast and then click on your video. I’ve done it that way, too. The video plays and when it ends, you’re there, on camera and ready to go. (In other words, you don’t have to bother removing the video when it’s done. It automatically switches to screen view.)
Excellent point, Patricia. Thank you for mentioning that!
Patricia, excellent. You are probably muted while the video plays intro music/voice over, correct?
@@b2bfusion Yes, I am automatically muted while the video plays. I love how it works-it’s really smooth!
Thanks Patricia that makes it clear. Can the video be stored for future use in Streamyard?
@@AmberCrowley It's automatically saved if you broadcast to Facebook, UA-cam, or Periscope, for example. But if you don't want to “broadcast,” you can set the show to “record only.”
Thanks so much for this I was about to waste money on a mac just to use ecam live for this feature glad I found this video.
I glad this saved you some cash, DC. I hate when I buy something only to find out I didn't need it after all. Best of luck on your livestreams!
Can you do more videos using StreamYard!! I tried using my camera as my webcam and it didn’t work! I’m using the ultra sound mini recorder! When it was time to add my self to the stream in couldn’t!! Do you know what was wrong
I certainly can! Two thoughts come to mind. The most likely issue is you need to install an updated driver for your recorder. I had the exact same issue a few months ago with my Elgato - Cam Link 4K (similar to your recorder). I found my driver was somehow deleted from my computer. Everything instantly worked once I installed a new driver from the Elgato website. The other possible issue would be you need to switch out your cord. Let me know if this helps Charnell.
What if you don’t use a laptop for your lives and instead you use an iPhone?
They are coming out with an app decently soon that is supposed to allow lives.
This was great. Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks, Matthew. I'm happy I could help. Best of luck with your livestreams!
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. Keep it up always
Thank you, I will KABIT! I hope this helped you. Streamyard finally just opened up the 1080p option for the Pro level on Monday!
Thank you
You're most welcome, Feline's Den
Thank you for showing us how to do it. I'll try it out when I get home on stream yard private first. Liked and subscribed 😉👍
Hey their, Carl. You have a really fun channel. I love exploring those types of buildings too.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline Cool stuff. I tried doing the intro but I have to upgrade $20 a month for that, gutted
It was free but they changed it several months ago when they added a 1080p tier.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline Thank you
and keep up the good channel
Great tutorial ! My audience is unable to hear my intro when I run it . Any suggestions?
Hey there! I've got you! I just checked out your live stream and I think I have it figured out. While your intro is playing, your personal mic is live. Your mic's audio has primary audio and is canceling out your intro's audio. This is a very simple fix! All you need to do is leave yourself "off the stage" until the video is done playing and then immediately click the "Add to stage" so it's timed well. There may be a simple setting that you have clicked that also solves the problem but leaving yourself off the stage until the intro plays out is another work around for ya!
Wonderful video and tutorial! Merry Christmas, Charlie 😁
Thank ya much, Josh. Merry Christmas to you too! Best of luck to you on your channel!
great job thank you
I'm happy this helped you, Rodney, thanks!
I have SY set up but we haven't used it yet. Thanks for the information.
Most welcome, Crepe. It's a tad difficult to figure out at first but it has a short learning curve.
Charlie, thanks this is exactly what I needed.
You're most welcome, Wendell.
great information I'm a new friend here now peace to you
Thank you much. I'm happy you found this useful. Best of luck to you with your livestreams!
Hello host how to add intro after the live streaming or streamed video?
Hello, Flor, I the Broadcast Studio, have your intro video already uploaded and ready to go by being on the "Brand" page (located on the right side of the screen). Then you hit the "Go Live" button. That will give you a 3-second leeway for you to click on your video for it to play. The video should begin playing within less than 1 second so you need to time it about a 1-2 second delay. Once the video is just about to be over (1 second left to play), you then place the mouse over the video of you (bottom left of the screen). Hoovering the mouse there will reveal the "Add to stream" button. Clicking on that will add you to the viewer's screen and it will appear to be a flawless transition.
For the outro, you do the opposite. You play the outro video, then remove yourself from the screen, and click the end button on the top right to stop streaming.
I hope that helps you.
thanks. new to all this and this was very helpful and easy.
You're most welcome Weapon X. I'm happy this worked for you.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are most welcome, Aphrodite.
here on the 2nd of may 2020
Welcome to the channel, Charity!
I have a video uploaded already bit cant figure out how to add it at the beginning of my videos also have an outro also and cant add it how do i add them to my videos?
Hello, Kelvin. We'll get you going. Once you are in the Broadcast Studio and you have your video uploaded you have the video ready to go by being on the "Brand" page (located on the right side of the screen). Then you hit the "Go Live" button. That will give you a 3-second leeway for you to click on your video for it to play. The video should begin playing within less than 1 second so you need to time it about a 1-2 second delay. Once the video is just about to be over (1 second left to play), you then place the mouse over the video of you (bottom left of the screen). Hoovering the mouse there will reveal the "Add to stream" button. Clicking on that will add you to the viewer's screen and it will appear to be a flawless transition.
For the outro, you do the opposite. You play the outro video, then remove yourself from the screen, and click the end button on the top right immediately after the video concludes.
Let me know if this helped you, Kelvin.
Thanks boute to go on there
Can you put an intro on a video you upload vs a live. How do you do that?
Hey there, Sherell. You can, but you'd need to introduce that via an editing app or software. The video in loaded as a whole and cannot be edited to add an intro later. This is a newly introduced edition to Streamyard and will likely add editing later down the road.
Can U add Ur intro to video clips instead of overlay?
You can indeed, ULG
Hi. Where can I download the intro video just like yours? Nice one
Hello, Mohd. Thank ya much. Actually, I hired a designer to create it for me on Fiverr. Here is the link to his page: www.fiverr.com/videorfx?source=order_page_summary_seller_link
For some reason my video wont upload to overlay or videos. It's 29 secs and only 12mb. Anyone know why?
What format are you uploading them in, Jock?
How to use without paying
I don't understand your comment, Cricket. I think you might be requesting I do a comparison video of the paid vs free versions of the platform. Is that what you're asking?
thanks for showing me
You're most welcome Shewanna.
How do I develop my intro? What program is available for a newbie to begin with??? Thanks Charlie and friends
Hey there, David. We went the cheap route for our intro. We used Fiverr.com. That is a site that allows you to hire someone to make your logo, intro, graphics, etc for just a few dollars. So, rather than spending $200 for software that you then must learn to use, you can hire someone to do it for you for $5 -$20. I hope that helps.

@@ChristmasOnCrestline Awwwwsome!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks, Charlie! I hope the 60 sec comes soon, but this is great for now!
They just announced that you can add the 60 seconds, Boone! I've yet to try it but I'm told it now works.
Thanks
No problem, Lakey. Happy to help!
Good
I'm happy it helped you, Azan
Can you only do this with the paid version of Stream Yard? Or can you also do this with the free version?
This feature is indeed available on the free version. I'd recommend trying it out and see how well it works for your channel. I'm guessing it will do well for you. Thanks, Forresters.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline I cant do any if these things without upgrading to a paid version, do you have a way around that, or am I doing something wrong.
@@scottwise2885 I believe SY changed that last Monday, Scott. I answered you more in-depth in your other comment thread. For me, the only downside to SY is it is only 720p. Other than that I really love the platform.
Hello can I upload a 1 minute video I made on my iPhone as an into?
Absolutely you can! I do it by uploading the video to my Google Photos, then download that into my Pictures file on my PC, then it's easily added as an intro!
Christmas on Crestline thank you very much👍
Thank you for the tutorial please make a video how to make the intro for stream yard the one that you just showed,, thank you
Hello, Jag! One very easy way to get a new intro video going is by using Fiverr.com. I use them for most of my animations and mascot designs.
Great info and tutorial Charlie! Wow! Thank you! This really helped me a lot. You have a great day 😄
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words, Ginny.
Great video! How do you get it on and off your screen in Streamyard? Can it store there for future use? I’m new to the party. Thanks
Hey there, Amber. You can in fact store it there for later use. Once you upload the video it stays there to use in future videos until you delete it. You get it on and off the screen simply by clicking on it. If it is an intro video, the video's end screen will remain on the screen until you add yourself to the stream or until you give the viewer another video to watch. If you play the video during your Livestream after you've added yourself to the screen then the video will remove itself from the screen automatically and the viewer will see you again once the video is over. I hope that helps. Let me know should you have other questions!
This is awesome! Thank you for this!!
You're most welcome, Michael. It took me a bit to figure out so I thought this might be of some use to folks.
Awesome content here! Guys do visit streamyard FB Group called "Streamyard Global"! A lot of tips & tricks to live stream for you guys!
Wise advise, Jown!
dear sir, may i politely seek your advice, how to create fade-in transition in StreamYard ?
Hey there, Marc. Are you speaking of a fade-in when you initially add yourself to the stream or a fade-in for your videos?
@@ChristmasOnCrestline dear sir, thank you for your kind response, i am speaking of a fade-in when initially add myself to the stream, thank you in advacne for sir advice in this regard, with LoVe.
@@marcjacob424 Ah, that's one that unless you already know how to do it, itis a bit difficult to figure out. The way to do it is to have a video uploaded in the Broadcast Studio's "Video Clips" area (These videos can be as long as 5 mins). The video, usually your intro video but some people use a countdown video, will need to end with a "fade out". So, the first thing is to start your video then immediately hit your "Go Live" button. Once you are live and your video is playing, you click on your image in the lower left of the screen and hit the "Add To Steam" button that will pop up as you place your mouse over your image. This adds yourself to the live stream BUT it does not show you to your audience until the video fades out. Once the video fades out it appears as if you have faded in. I hope this helps, Marc. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@ChristmasOnCrestline Dear Sir, sincerely Grateful with your detail advice,
i been using OBS doing fb live streaming,
but i discover Streamyard is more easier for novice,
my current doubt with streamyard was i use streamyard to go live in fb with my friend,
during live, i click to hide my webcam & mute my mic, but in the middle, i show up (switch on my webcam), it just appear (my face) without a fade transition which is a little weired, i just wish i could figure how to set a Fade Transition in Streamyard when switching from one scene to another scene,
Dear Sir, do you have any idea does Streamyard allow use to set such transition ?
Thank You Sir, with Love~
@@marcjacob424 If the video is playing when you add yourself Streamyard automatically hides your face and mutes your mic. Once the video's "fade out" is complete and the video is over, Streamyard adds your mic and image to your viewer's screen. There is not currently a fade-in transition that Streamyard has as a standard button. Another option would be to ask them during their lives. SY does a Live every Sunday at 8pm (CST) and during the daytime on Wednesdays. While they may not answer you during the live stream, although they usually do, they do read every comment/suggestion and they seem to take it to heart.
How do you add the subscribe button without changing production or is that done in post?
Since it is a Live episode, you won't see the subscribe button on the SY screen. UA-cam adds this afterwards. If you are wanting to add a unique subscribe button you can do so in your UA-cam Studio, go to "Settings", go to "Channel", then go to "Branding". This will allow you to add or replace any square photo as your new subscribe button. Let me now if this helps.
nice video what software are you using to make an intro video please get back with me thanks
I used Fiverr for it, Rick. Specifically, I hired Videorfx from Fiverr to make my videos.
thank you
Love ur clear tutorial thanks for sharing very helpful ❤👍
Awesome! Thank ya much, Lovely! I'm very happy this helped you.
oml thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
My pleasure, Chuckie! I'm glad this helped you!
Great tutorial. One question, on UA-cam LIVE is there a way for attendees to chat with admin without having a UA-cam account? via a different chat account somehow?
Through StreamYard, yes. Through YT Live, no. Streamyard let's you go live on both FB and UA-cam simultaneously. So you can watch the live stream on FB and chat with the admin without have a YT account.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline any other options for users to comment anonymously?
Great video. Thank you. You can upload a 5 minute video on the basic paid plan
I actually have that scheduled for an August release, Kevin. Thanks for asking!
I don't have that option on my streamyard and I just puchased this month...
Hmm, I just checked and the overlay option is still there. If you purchased the Basic $25 a month plan or the Pro $49 a month plan then you should have it too. In June 2020, they did move the overlays. logos, branding, and other options away from the free platform and into the Basic and Pro level plans. I just used it in a live stream last weekend so the overlays are there still. If you purchased SY and don't have this video option, you can contact SY here: contact@streamyard.com That is something they'll want to be made aware of.
thank you much for your info
Hello Editah, I'm thrilled it was helpful for you!
@@ChristmasOnCrestline , yes very much i will aply what i learned from your video, on my next live stream thanks a lot, keep up the good work,
Hi, how to solv block/band guest
You have to block them while the show is live. That's the trick. You have to be in the "Broadcast Studio" then go to "settings" (which is located on the right-hand side of the screen). Click on "Guests" and there it will tell you who you have previously banned. That doesn't stop the person from simply jumping back on by using a different UA-cam account though but it does monitor who you have banned.
brilliant mate ive been trying for weeks to do this lol really simple and clear instructions thank u .
Glad it helped, Mag. Streamyard is too fun when you add in the little extras like this! Have fun!
@@ChristmasOnCrestline thanks . theres a youtuber who puts up his team selection one player at a time who he thinks will play for nufc im trying to work out how he does that now lol .im thinking its mabbee embedding or something lol
It doesnt allow any of the thing in this tutorial without having a paid version
Unfortunately, they just recently changed that, Scott. I just created a new free SY account to test it and see if there was a workaround but I couldn't find one for you. For me and my show, it is worth the $5 a week ($20 a month) for the SY upgrade. They have a Townhall style show on their YT channel every Sunday at 8pm CST. The two owners are on the show and answer most of everyone's questions. I hope this information helps in some small way.
I am very new to this.. please help..
How can I help ya, Animal?
@@ChristmasOnCrestline It looks pretty easy and all.. but im trying to figure out how can i record like an intereview and play it back..
@@animal6039 @Animal you start by logging into your StreamYard (SY) account, then click on "Create Broadcast" then select which of your social media accounts you'd like to utilize. For this example, let's say UA-cam (YT). Once you've selected your YT account you will be asked to type in a title, description, and select a privacy level. Since you stated you want to "figure out how can i record like an interview and play it back" you will select "Private" . You can always publish the video to the world by selecting "public" on YT later through your Creator Studio. If this is a virtual interview and you need help on how to invite the guest to be in your interview, just let me know.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline that makes sense.. Now lets say when i play it back later.. obviously i will have public on on my platforms for the live stream.. do i need to change the recorded interview to public?.. and Also.. how long to i have do do my recorded interview.. 15min, 20 min?..
@@animal6039 If you've recorded your interview to your YT channel then you only need to change it to "public" on YT. This is done through your YT Studio. The recording length depends upon your SY plan. The free version is live videos only. The basic plan includes videos recorded up to 4 hrs in length. The Pro plan includes videos up to 8 hrs long.
Hi Charlie, thank you for your tutorials. Can I add a widget / or something like that to my live-streams on StreamYard so people can donate to a charity while I am performing?
I believe you can do that through a link via Streamlabs in the chat area while live-streaming on Streamyard.
Christmas on Crestline thank you very much 👍going live from my shop window on August 29th first time with StreamYard, I have been doing from here for about 6-7 years, not streaming though.
Very cool, Brighton's!
What format type do I need to save the intro video as ?
Hello Shanae. You can use either MP3 or MP4. I use MP4 for my intro video though.
Thank you for sharing
