Bigger Plan. Smaller Bill.
Go beyond StreamYard. Live commerce, 24/7 broadcasting, and mobile-first production, all in one platform.
Plug in Any Encoder
Ingest feeds from OBS, vMix, Wirecast, and more via RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, or WHIP. StreamYard accepts none.
Always-On Streaming
Run YouTube channel 24/7 with looping playlists and scheduled events that go live on autopilot.
16-Guest Live Studio
Host bigger panels, interviews, and roundtables that go beyond StreamYard’s 10-guest cap on every plan.
Mobile Apps
Go live with full control from native iOS and Android. StreamYard’s iOS app is guests-only, no Android.
4 Extra Cameras
Switch between up to 4 live cameras in one broadcast, well beyond StreamYard’s single extra-camera cap.
Custom Websites
Host your streams on a branded landing page. No website builder needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Clear answers to help you choose the best StreamYard alternative with confidence. Still stuck? Chat with support or explore our Help Center.
Is there a better alternative to StreamYard?
Yes. OneStream Live offers 50 multistreaming destinations, 16 studio guests, built-in Live Sales tools, custom websites with custom domains, 24/7 always-on streaming with playlist looping, and full native iOS and Android host apps. StreamYard offers none of these and caps multistreaming at 10 destinations, even on its top tier.
Why switch from StreamYard to OneStream Live?
Three reasons most users cite: price stability (StreamYard raised prices 80-82% in 2024 after being acquired), missing features (no live commerce, no native mobile host apps, no 24/7 streaming), and platform limits (capped at 10 destinations and 10 guests even on Business plans). OneStream Live scales past every one of those ceilings on Enterprise.
Does OneStream Live support multistreaming like StreamYard?
Yes, and far beyond it. You can multistream live or pre-recorded videos to 50 platforms simultaneously, including custom destinations. StreamYard’s top individual plan caps at 8 destinations, and Business caps at 10.
Can I use external encoders like OBS or vMix with OneStream Live?
Absolutely. OneStream Live accepts inbound feeds from OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, Zoom, XSplit, Ecamm Live, and any external encoder using RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, or WHIP protocols. StreamYard is a browser-based encoder itself and cannot accept inbound encoder feeds.
Is OneStream Live better for teams and collaboration?
Yes. With up to 10 team seats on Enterprise (vs 2 default on StreamYard Business), unified chat, and 16-guest studio capacity (vs StreamYard’s 10), it’s built for teams that need to scale.
