With StreamYard, most of the work happens on our computers, not yours. Your 5-year-old laptop, Chromebook, or desktop will all work just fine! But, if you’re serious about streaming (and we hope you are!), we recommend investing in a high quality mic and webcam. A pair of headphones is also a good idea – this will reduce the potential for echo if you are bringing on guests.

Browsers
Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera all work with StreamYard. Unfortunately, other browsers, like Safari, do not support our technology yet. We recommend Chrome for the best experience.
Internet
Streaming requires a lot of data, but your current ISP or 4G provider should work fine. We recommend that you hardwire (ethernet) to your router. WiFi will work, but not as well.
Devices
StreamYard works on almost all devices. You can use StreamYard from your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. For the best experience we recommend using a computer/laptop.
Viewers can watch on any device/browser that supports the platform you're streaming to.
