You can easily display static text as a Banner, or scrolling text as a Ticker on your stream with StreamYard!
Creating a banner:
- From inside a StreamYard studio, click the Banners tab on the right.
Click Create a banner, enter your text, and click Add banner.
- Now that you've created a banner, click on it to display it on-stream!
To remove it from the stream, click on it again.
Creating a scrolling ticker:
- From inside a StreamYard studio, click the Banners tab on the right.
Click Create a banner, enter your text, check Scroll across (ticker)
Once Scroll across (ticker) is enabled, you can also customize:
- Position: choose whether the ticker appears at the top or bottom of the stream.
- Speed: choose Slow, Normal, or Fast.
- When you’re ready, click Add banner.
- Now that you've created a ticker, click on it to display it on-stream!
To remove it from the stream, click on it again.
You can change the style and color of your banners by changing the Brand color and Theme in the Style tab.
Timer on banners
The timer functionality for banners allows you to control how long they appear on your stream, without needing to manually remove them when no longer needed.
Here's how it works:
- Display durations for banners with 10, 20, or 60-second timers
- Banners are automatically dismissed after the set duration
- Compatibility with all your existing banner designs
This is perfect when you want to share information for a limited time: banners appear long enough for your viewers to notice, then clear themselves so your stream stays focused and uncluttered.
