We’ve refreshed Streamyard’s design, with a brighter color palette, cleaner interface and brand new logo.

The aim of this revamp is to celebrate all the improvements—big and small—that the team has brought to Streamyard in the last year, while staying true to the core simplicity that users love.

What’s changed:

• A brand new Streamyard logo—with a fresh design for Puddles, our beloved duck 🦆
• A more vibrant color palette, doubling down on our signature electric blue
• A more modern font
• Softer buttons and sidebar, with a more friendlier, more polished feel
• A sprinkling of micro-interactions throughout the product (try hovering over the logo 😉)
• A friendlier, more inviting dashboard for new users

What hasn’t changed:

• All core features and workflows—Streamyard works just the same as before.

Our new look is designed to support everything we’re building next, helping you reach more people, engage your audience, and grow your community—without compromising an inch on the delightful simplicity that makes Streamyard, well, Streamyard.

You can read the full story behind the new look here.

We’ve integrated Youtube’s new monetization API, which lets you adjust your monetization settings for Youtube Live without leaving StreamYard.

Previously, you had to go to Youtube Studio to manage your ads, but now you can do it entirely in StreamYard.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Select Youtube as a destination for your stream
2. In the extended pop up, use the Youtube Live Ads dropdown to select your ad frequency
3. Youtube will display ads on your stream at your chosen frequency

To adjust ad settings in StreamYard, your Youtube account needs to be eligible for monetization. You can learn more about StreamYard and Youtube monetization in our Help Center article.

When a guest joins your studio via the link, they’ll see a welcome page branded with your logo and colours, giving your show a premium first impression.

The title, date and destinations of your streams will automatically appear on your welcome cards—there’s no need to set anything up yourself.

To use them, select Branded welcome for guests in your invite settings.

How to preview your welcome card:

1. In the studio, click the Invite guests button in the toolbar.
2. At the bottom of the pop-up, you’ll see the Your new welcome page section.
3. In that section, click Show me.
   

Note for Reusable Studios users:

If you’re using a reusable studio, your welcome card will display the title of your active stream or recording—not the title of your studio. If you invite a guest to an empty studio (one showing the Create + option in the top right), your welcome card won’t show a title.

You can now use ‘@’ to mention a specific person in the studio private chat to make sure they see your message.

When focused on their stream, people don’t always see private messages straight away.

That’s why now, if you need someone’s attention urgently, you can use ‘@’ to mention their name, and your message will show up as a prominent banner at the top of their screen.

Here’s how to use ‘@’ mentions:

1. When in the studio, open the Private chat tab in the right-hand banner.
2. In the new message textbox, type the ‘@’ symbol, then begin typing the display name of the person you want to mention. Their name will appear in a pop-up list.
3. Click on their name, or press enter. It will appear in your message in bold.
4. When your message is sent, the mentioned user will see it as a banner in the middle of their screen.

Like all private chat messages, ‘@’ mentions are only visible to people in the studio, not viewers.
