Yostream is a browser-based live streaming software that aims to elevate the streaming experience of streamers and content creators worldwide. With user-friendly features and a smooth interface, even newcomers can navigate effortlessly and set up their live streams without requiring technical skills.
Streamers associated with different professions like journalism, teaching, activism, health, etc. can leverage this software to customize their streams with a professional look that usually requires a hefty amount of money. They can insert their personalized logos, choose desired themes, and use interactive layouts and backgrounds with audio-video inputs to stay ahead in the game.
The most interesting aspect of using Yostream is that it allows freedom from the burden of having a heavy system configuration along with considerable technical expertise. One can easily start streaming directly from the web browser without downloading any traditional software. It’s a time-effective approach that helps streamers focus on their vital target - creating awesome live streams without getting distracted.
Recently, Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) was integrated with Yostream to take the streaming experience of streamers to new heights. With this integration, streamers can enjoy the power of two tools simultaneously with greater control over their live streaming production.
Take an example, the process of multistreaming using OBS requires a good amount of bandwidth. If a streamer wants to broadcast stream on different channels at the same time, he/she must need a high internet connection otherwise the final output can be blurry, pixelated, or simply an unpleasant viewing experience for people sitting at the receiver’s end. In such a case, if OBS is connected to Yostream, even with a normal internet connection, the streamer can multistream successfully as all of the bandwidth concerns are handled by Yostream.
Similarly, customizing live streams using OBS is not a piece of cake. A streamer has to invest time and skill to make their live stream look visually appealing. Again, Yostream can offer easiness in this task as one can personalize the stream with interactive features in an easy manner.
