The Vidyst studio on a Mac, live to YouTube, Twitch, X and Instagram at once.

Wide and tall

Film once. Go out wide and tall at the same time.

One take, two shows. Your wide stream hits YouTube and Twitch while the tall one lands on Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Same camera, same moment, nothing to crop later.

Wide + tall, live. Two shows from one take. No second app.

Preview of both streams side by side: the wide 16:9 version for YouTube, Twitch and X next to the tall 9:16 version for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, live from the same take.

Loved by people
who go live.

“I used to struggle with OBS configurations and setup issues. Vidyst works smoothly right out of the box, letting me stream to YouTube and Twitch, grow my community, and manage chat seamlessly. Now I can focus on creating content and connecting with my audience instead of troubleshooting.”
asklogCreator of asklog.ai
“I absolutely love Vidyst for its simplicity. It creates much smaller files, lets me stream to YouTube and X simultaneously, invite friends onto my stream, and manage chat—all in one place. It’s a breeze to use and totally worth it. 100% recommended.”
Manu AroraCreator
“I’ve been using Vidyst for my day-to-day recording and live-streaming, and I’m genuinely impressed by its quality, smoothness, and overall experience. I know I’m the founder, but I still love using it.”
Piyush GargFounder of Vidyst
“Vidyst is such a great product—so polished and smooth, and it works amazingly. I love the integrations, and it works seamlessly with Stream Deck too. I’m never going back to another video recording or live-streaming software.”
Hitesh ChoudharyCreator · Chai aur Code
“I’ve been a full-time content creator for the past 2.5 years, recording hundreds of videos, so reliable recording software is essential for me. Since switching to Vidyst, I’ve completely stopped using OBS, Meld Studio, and other recording tools. What I love most is having everything in one place: one-click layouts, simultaneous horizontal and vertical recording, smooth transitions, professional 4K recording, and even remote control from my iPhone. Vidyst has genuinely simplified my entire recording workflow. It’s become my all-in-one recording studio!”
Suraj Kumar JhaFull-time content creator
“The video and audio were crisp, and screen sharing was clear enough for my students to follow easily. They especially appreciated the mobile experience—everything came through clearly, even with screen sharing, video, and audio on.”
Rishika GuptaEducator
“I write code for a living. I don’t want content creation to become another engineering problem. That’s what I like about Vidyst. One place to record, go live, bring my boys on stream and create in any format without overthinking the setup. The best tool that simply gets the work done.”
Anirudh JwalaDeveloper & creator
“As a tech creator focused on DevOps, I'm constantly switching between tutorials, screen recordings, and short-form reels. Vidyst has made content creation ridiculously simple. I love how effortlessly I can record high-quality videos, switch between layouts, and create both long-form tutorials and vertical reels without juggling multiple tools. The workflow is smooth, the quality is excellent, and I spend less time figuring out my recording setup and more time creating content. An absolute game-changer for tech creators!”
