How do you use Streamyard for training?

The short answer is that you connect your YouTube account to Streamyard, create a broadcast that is unlisted, and then invite your virtual assistant (VA) to join the session for training via platforms like email, Skype, or WhatsApp.

Full Explanation

Using Streamyard for training involves setting up a controlled live broadcast environment where you and your VA can interact in real time. By linking your YouTube account to Streamyard, you gain the ability to produce live broadcasts. Setting the broadcast as “unlisted” ensures the session remains private and accessible only to invited participants. This is convenient for discussing specific training topics directly with your VA, creating a focused and interactive learning experience.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

  1. Connect your YouTube account to Streamyard.
  2. Create a new broadcast and set it as unlisted to keep it private.
  3. Write down the training topic you want to discuss with your VA.
  4. Create the broadcast and allow microphone access to ensure clear audio communication.
  5. Adjust your audio settings as needed.
  6. Enter your name to personalize the session.
  7. Enter the Streamyard studio to prepare for the live session.
  8. Click the “Invite” button to get the invite link.
  9. Copy the invite link and send it to your VA. This can be done via email, Skype—which is often more convenient for both parties—or WhatsApp.

Real Examples

In practice, a trainer sets up an unlisted Streamyard broadcast with a specific training subject, such as workflow optimization or task management. The trainer then invites their VA via Skype, where the VA can join live and interact throughout the session. This approach allows both parties to communicate effectively through audio and video while keeping the session private from the general public.

Common Mistakes

  • Forgetting to set the broadcast as unlisted, which could make your training session public unintentionally.
  • Not granting microphone permissions, resulting in poor communication during the session.
  • Failing to send the correct invite link or using less convenient communication channels for your VA.

FAQs

Can I use platforms other than Skype to send the invite?

Why should I make the broadcast unlisted?

Making the broadcast unlisted keeps the training session private so that only invited participants with the link can access it.
