When to choose

Pick the one that fits your channel.

StreamYard and StreamHouse do different jobs: one hosts live shows, the other keeps a pre-recorded channel playing.

StreamHouse

Choose StreamHouse if…

  • Your channel is a playlist that should play around the clock
  • Nobody needs to be at the controls
  • You want to stream in 4K
StreamYard

StreamYard may suit you better if…

  • You host live shows, webinars or interviews with guests
  • You want on-screen branding and overlays
  • You want to start on a free plan

Switching from StreamYard

Moving over, step by step.

Keep StreamYard for your live shows and move the always-on part. It takes three steps.

  1. Keep your studio for live shows

    A video playlist doesn’t replace interactive production; keep StreamYard for guests, cameras and overlays.

  2. Check resolution and limits

    Separate local recording resolution from live output, and check the duration limit for pre-recorded broadcasts.

  3. Rebuild, then test

    Upload finished episodes, set their order and test transitions on a separate destination before the channel runs on its own.
