Article on Polish tech news site on how Streamyard screwed over our tiny not-for-profit (and, no doubt others) by automatically upgrading us to a plan at twice the price.

https://kontrabanda.net/r/aral-balkan-streamyard-kontrowersje/

Just cancelled our Streamyard subscription and deleted our account.

The asshats automatically switched us to a plan that was 2× the price (from ~$44 to ~$88) with a single email’s notice and no authorisation on our part and when there was a new plan that almost exactly matched our current one with almost exactly the same features.

By the time I clocked on, they’d already charged us for several months so I wrote to them explaining that what they did was wrong and asking them to refund us the difference in the plan costs and place us on the plan that was almost the carbon copy of the one we were originally on.

They refused. And admitted no wrongdoing.

Finally, they offered a one month refund.

So I accepted. And now that it’s safely in our account, I just cancelled our subscription and deleted the account. I have a very fucking short fuse for asshole unethical American startups thinking they’re so bloody smart for fucking you over.

Anyway, beware of Streamyard. Not sure if they’ll pull the same shit again but I’m sure they’ll pull some other shit some other time.

I wasn't paying attention, but it appears that #Streamyard's money problems got serious about 4 months ago. Look at how their video production dropped off. They either had a mass exodus of users, or realized their advice wasn't actually all that helpful.

Okay, ich war ja bisher ein bisschen Fan von #Streamyard. Jetzt wollen die meine Accountkosten ungefragt einfach verdoppeln, ich muss Opt-Out machen, um das zu vermeiden. Das ist für mich ein absoluter Vertrauensbruch.

Habe kurz recherchiert, aha, Streamyard ist aufgekauft worden. (https://www.heise.de/news/Bending-Spoons-kauft-weiter-ein-WeTransfer-und-Streamyard-neu-im-Portfolio-9820274.html)

Das erklärts: Der #Enshittification Prozess hat also bereits begonnen.

Ich suche ein neues Streamingstudio. #obs_studio ?

Not sure whether it was Streamyard or Firefox or my OS to blame but it seems the transitions came out horribly choppy in the screen sharing recording of my talk from Groningen on Tuesday so here we are…

*le sigh*

(I’ll try to have the transitions I recorded locally edited in and the video up sometime today.)

Just finished dry run for

Really hate when #streamyard quality isn't that good and now I have to figure out how to synch two video streams in #descript

"In the past two weeks, Hopin — once valued at $7.8 billion — sold its virtual event software to RingCentral for a mere $15 million (which could grow to $50 million if it meets certain targets)." -- #KiaKokalitcheva

Wir verwenden dieses Jahr bei der Eröffnung der #lernOS Convention zur Eröffnung kein Livestreaming mehr, sondern auch Teams. Habe deswegen unser #Streamyard Abo gekündigt. #loscon23

Dieses Jahr verwenden wir bei der #lernOS Convention #Discord statt #Slack als Social Space der Veranstaltung. Wenn Ihr das noch gar nicht kennt, schaut Euch gerne mal das Tutorial an https://lnkd.in/ecGZwGRJ

Für die Sessions an Tag 2 nutzen wir wieder #MicrosoftTeams, für das Programm #Pretax und für den Livestream voraussichtlich #Streamyard und #Youtube.

#Pregunta

Esto no es nuevo. Estoy buscando una solucion estilo #StreamYard

La idea es poder hacer videostreaming con ciertas caracteristicas:
- que los invitados puedan acceder a traves de invitacion
- que el/los admin puedan definir ciertos parametros, como la ubicacion de ventanitas y el compartir imagenes, videos, documentos en vivo o añadir musica de fondo... y administrar banners como tambien decidir que se puede compartir o no

Saludos
