Part of the record stage.

What it does

StreamYard runs a live show from a browser tab: guests join by link, the host controls the layout, and the output goes straight out to the platforms you have connected, with on-screen graphics and comments pulled in live. Because it streams rather than records locally, the recording you keep is the broadcast, which is the opposite trade from the local-capture tools. That makes it the right choice when the live audience is the point and the wrong one when the finished edit is. Nothing is installed on a guest's machine.
