Your toolkit of professional live streaming.
To elevate the streaming experience of users, Yostream is thrilled to announce the integration of two industry giants into its browser-based live streaming software: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) and Zoom.
This integration refers to the process of connecting OBS and Zoom to Yostream, a trendsetting live streaming software designed for broadcasting and managing live streams of content creators across the globe.
They now have a myriad of options thanks to this integration, enabling them to take their live streams to new heights with simplicity and overall an unforgettable experience.
As mentioned above, two separate tools (OBS and Zoom) are being combined and synchronized within a single platform (Yostream), and by including both local and remote elements, any streamer can enhance the quality of live streaming content by leveraging the strengths of both tools.
Imagine someone creating a live stream using OBS and then connecting to Yostream. Using the point of origin (OBS), solely, to perform certain tasks such as multistreaming and custom branding, can require a good deal of time and technical expertise which often creates hurdles for streamers to achieve their streaming goals.
However, Yostream - which acts as a safe harbor during storms of uncertain complexities - enhances the capabilities of the former with greater control over their live stream production.
The process of multistreaming, or broadcasting the live stream on several platforms simultaneously, places a good deal of stress on streamers’ internet connection.
A higher upload speed is needed to send the data in real-time to multiple destinations at once and every platform will consume its share of bandwidth for a flawless streaming experience. Simply put, if the upload speed and bandwidth requirements surpass the capabilities of the current internet connection, the live stream will surely transform into an ocean of chaos with frequent disruptions.
Streamers can experience choppy playback with frame drops along with blurry and pixelated video with low bitrates. On the other hand, if the stream is broadcasted on Yostream, which is further used to multistream the original feed, Yostream’s server will handle all bandwidth-related issues, ensuring a smooth and consistent stream across all destinations with low latency.
Yostream's integration of OBS considerably improves the broadcasting quality in a number of ways. OBS is a strong, feature-rich software that offers multimedia creators a variety of professional-grade functionality.
Streamers can design and individually brand their stream layout with overlays, images, and dynamic transitions by using the custom scenes feature of OBS.
This level of personalization enables a stream that is more branded and visually appealing. OBS also offers a number of video encoding choices that may be modified to accommodate various internet connection speeds and viewer preferences. By doing this, streamers can be confident that the broadcast will be transmitted at the best quality possible for the bandwidth of the viewer.
The integration of OBS and Zoom into Yostream will minimize the financial investments of streamers as they don't need to pay for a high-speed internet connection or utilizing multistream which generally doesn't come for free.
Another noteworthy point is that since a wide range of hardware configurations find compatibility with OBS, streamers wouldn't need to pay for system upgrades if they're willing to set up a professional live streaming studio.
The feature-rich streaming solutions offered by Yostream can allow them to stay on top without incurring additional costs.
With Zoom’s exceptional audio-visual conferencing quality where presentations and collaborative sessions offer an immersive experience, and OBS’s intriguing live streams with professional visuals, real-time audience interaction, advanced audio control, and other interactive elements; viewers are more likely to participate, share, and come back for future streams.
Streamers can record and save their live streams for later viewing or distribution. This increases the possibility of audience participation outside of the actual event because viewers can catch up on missed content or spread it around.
Yostream itself offers a high-quality video streaming service but after the integration, streamers can enjoy a double bonus with a more professional streaming setup.
The game-changer integration blends Zoom's interactive interaction and security with OBS's creative production tools. It also gives streamers the resources they need to captivate their audience and provide top-notch live streams and webinars, whether they’re a content creator, journalist, educator, activist, or business professional.
