Once COVID hit, SBS needed a way to record interviews remotely without sacrificing the video and audio quality. StreamYard was the perfect solution. Now, SBS expanded their use of StreamYard to internal meetings and capturing events in the community. Radojkovic says that they have been able to produce high-quality video content that has skyrocketed their engagement.
Many producers at SBS were unfamiliar with producing video, but Radojkovic says that StreamYard's intuitive interface and low barrier to entry have helped them to feel confident. “With StreamYard, which I find really handy, I give training sessions to a lot of new staff who aren't that technically proficient, but when it comes to I'd run them through it, once they can already remember where they are, they go, oh yeah, that's here, that's here. It's very easy to pick up...you don't want to have to train people over and over again in this product, it seems you just do it once and they're like, oh yeah, I get it, so it's great.”
SBS has a massive Facebook following, so StreamYard's ability to schedule live or recorded content to Facebook. They also broadcast content in 68 different languages, catering to different time zones. “I'm trying to encourage [talent] to record these as live, then schedule them at a time that's most suitable for their audience because all of the shows have different time slots during the day. Scheduling is actually a really good idea because they can put it up to Facebook and all social media at a good time, not necessarily when their show is on live.”
