Intro to StreamYard
This workshop is for members interested in:

StreamYard is ideal for talk and music shows that also stream live to Facebook or other social channels. The workshop will cover both technical aspects of preparing a show in StreamYard, as well as tips for hosting and preparing guests.
Participants will be paired with an existing producer to support as Technical Director on their show. All participants will be required to support on 1 member production outside of class to receive certification. Certification will allow you to access PhillyCAM's StreamYard pro account and staff support for PCAM and WPPM productions.
