For most U.S. teams, the fastest way to stream a sales presentation is to run your deck and demo through StreamYard’s browser studio, add your webcam, share your screen, and go live to one or two key platforms. If you need very advanced scene control or tightly tuned local encoding, tools like OBS or Streamlabs can help—but they take more setup and technical comfort.[^]

Summary

• Use StreamYard as your default studio for live sales calls, webinars, and product demos with slides and screen share.
• Keep your destinations simple: usually LinkedIn, YouTube, or a gated landing page are enough for a sales presentation.
• Rely on browser-based guest links so prospects and co-presenters can join without downloads or complex setup. (StreamYard blog)
• Consider OBS or Streamlabs only when you truly need advanced scene routing and are willing to manage local encoding. (OBS Knowledge Base)

What does a good streamed sales presentation look like?

A strong streamed sales presentation feels like a confident Zoom call with better branding and more control. Prospects should see:

• Your face (webcam) to build trust.
• Crisp, readable slides or a live product demo.
• Clean audio with no echo or distracting background noise.
• Smooth transitions between slide deck, demo, and Q&A.
• Clear calls to action on-screen.

In StreamYard, you handle this by turning on your camera, adding your mic, sharing your screen, and arranging everything into layouts that keep both you and your content visible. Because encoding happens in the cloud, your computer mostly needs to maintain a stable upload, not crunch all the video itself.[^]

How do you set up StreamYard for a sales presentation?

Here’s a simple, repeatable setup you can use for almost any sales call or webinar:

1. Create a studio and test your gear

   • Open StreamYard in your browser and enter the studio for your event.
   • Select your camera and microphone; speak a few sentences to confirm levels look healthy.
   • Take advantage of independent control of screen audio and mic audio, so your voice stays clear even if your demo has sound.

2. Load your slides and demo

   • Open your PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote deck.
   • Open any browser tabs or apps you plan to demo.
   • In StreamYard, use screen share to capture your slide window or entire screen. You can keep presenter notes visible only to you while prospects see the clean slide output.

3. Design your on-screen layout

   • Choose a layout that shows your slides large with your webcam smaller, or split-screen when you want a more conversational feel.
   • Add branded overlays, your logo, and lower-thirds so prospects instantly recognize your company.

4. Invite co-presenters or subject-matter experts

   • Share a guest link so colleagues—and even external partners—can join directly in their browser with no software install. (StreamYard blog)
   • You can have up to 10 people in the studio, which is plenty for panel-style sales presentations and handoffs between SDRs, AEs, and product leaders. (StreamYard blog)

5. Run a quick rehearsal

   • Do a 5–10 minute dry run where you click through slides, switch layouts, and move to the live demo.
   • Make a short local multi-track recording so you can replay and fine-tune pacing, audio, and camera framing.

Once this is saved, you can reuse the same studio for future calls to keep your look and feel consistent.

How should you present slides and demos on StreamYard?

Sales presentations usually live or die on how clearly you present your visuals. In StreamYard, you can:

• Share just your slide window so desktop notifications don’t pop into view.
• Use multi-participant screen sharing if a teammate needs to run a live demo while you handle narration.
• Keep presenter notes private, visible only to the host, while the audience sees a clean version of your deck.

If you prefer a more technical pipeline, OBS offers Window Capture to grab a specific PowerPoint or app window and Video Capture sources to overlay your webcam and capture cards in a custom scene. (OBS Knowledge Base) That flexibility is powerful, but most sales teams find StreamYard’s layouts and browser-based flow faster to learn and easier to run under pressure.

A quick example scenario

Imagine an AE running a 45-minute demo for a mid-market prospect:

• She starts in StreamYard with a branded intro overlay, camera-only for rapport.
• Clicks into a slide layout to walk through the agenda and business case.
• Switches to shared-screen to show the product, while a solutions engineer joins as a guest and shares their own screen for advanced workflows.
• Ends on a CTA slide, with a lower-third banner that includes the follow-up link and meeting QR code.

Everything happens in one browser studio, without juggling meeting apps or complex OBS scenes.

How do you choose platforms and whether to multistream?

For sales presentations, focus on where your buyers already are. Typical choices:

• Private or unlisted YouTube for on-demand replays and easy embedding in follow-up emails.
• LinkedIn Live for public-facing thought leadership webinars and pipeline-generating events.
• A gated landing page where you embed the player and capture registrant details.

On paid plans, StreamYard supports multistreaming, so you can send the same show to multiple destinations at once (for example, LinkedIn and YouTube) instead of running separate broadcasts. (StreamYard Help Center) Most sales teams only need one or two destinations per event, so the plan-specific destination caps are rarely a constraint.[^]

Other tools like Streamlabs also support multistreaming, but their Ultra membership gates some of these features behind a separate subscription. (Streamlabs FAQ) In practice, many go-to-market teams prefer StreamYard’s browser approach because they can avoid installing heavy desktop apps and still reach the major platforms that matter.

Can you pre-record and schedule a “live” sales presentation?

Yes—and this can be a big unlock for U.S. teams working across time zones.

With StreamYard, you can pre-record your presentation, then schedule it to go out as a live stream later. (StreamYard Help Center) That means:

• Your AE and product marketer can record a polished, edited run-through when it suits them.
• The scheduled “live” stream plays automatically at your chosen time, even if nobody is on camera.
• Team members can still be in chat to answer questions in real time, while the video itself remains consistent.

Pre-recorded streams can be scheduled up to 365 days in advance on supported platforms, which is ideal for recurring webinars or evergreen demos tied to outbound sequences. (StreamYard Supported Platforms)

If you want full editing control before going live, you could also record using OBS, then upload the final file into StreamYard’s pre-recorded streaming workflow—combining OBS’s local capture flexibility with StreamYard’s distribution and audience experience.

When should you consider OBS or Streamlabs instead of StreamYard?

StreamYard should be your default when:

• You value ease of use, quick onboarding, and “grandparent-test” simplicity for guests.
• You want a browser-based studio that offloads heavy encoding to the cloud.[^]
• You’re streaming to mainstream destinations like YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, or a custom RTMP endpoint.

OBS and Streamlabs become more attractive when:

• You need deeply customized scenes, unusual aspect ratios, or complex audio routing. (OBS Features)
• You have a powerful machine and are comfortable tuning bitrates, encoders, and advanced filters.
• You want a free local encoder and are willing to invest more setup time instead of paying for a browser studio. (OBS Help)

Even then, many teams end up pairing them: OBS handles intricate local compositing, while StreamYard handles guests, branding, and cloud multistreaming as the distribution layer.

How can you get more value from your sales presentation recordings?

A single streamed sales presentation can fuel a lot of follow-up content:

• Use StreamYard’s local multi-track recordings (audio and video) to edit tighter clips for specific personas or industries.
• Republish long-form recordings to platforms like YouTube, Facebook pages, and LinkedIn profiles within the documented length limits. (StreamYard Help Center)
• Turn Q&A segments into short FAQ clips you can send to prospects who ask similar questions later.

This playbook turns every “one-time” presentation into a reusable asset library, which is especially valuable for U.S. teams where AEs and SEs are stretched across multiple accounts.

What we recommend

• Use StreamYard’s browser studio as your default environment for streaming sales presentations, with camera, mic, slides, and screen share in one place.
• Start simple: go live to a single core destination (often YouTube or LinkedIn), then layer in multistreaming only when it directly supports your pipeline goals.
• Pre-record key webinars and evergreen demos in StreamYard so you can “go live” on autopilot while still engaging in chat.
• Consider OBS or Streamlabs only when you have clear, advanced production needs and the technical bandwidth to manage local encoders.
