Dailies vs StreamYardThe StreamYard alternative that records the call your client already joined
StreamYard and Dailies can both hand you vertical, captioned clips that follow whoever speaks. The difference is where the conversation takes place. StreamYard is a live-streaming and recording studio in the browser: you invite guests by a link, go live or record, and its AI clips come out of that session. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records the Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call already in your calendar and delivers up to eight shorts a few minutes after it ends.

What StreamYard does
StreamYard is a live-streaming and recording studio that runs in the browser, for shows, interviews, webinars and podcasts with guests. A guest opens the host’s link in a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera, allows camera and microphone and enters a name, with nothing to install on a computer. With local recordings enabled before the session, each host and guest is recorded on their own device, as a separate audio file and video file, in up to 4K on some plans. Its AI clips analyse a recording and generate vertical 9:16 captioned clips with a title, tracking who is speaking to keep them in frame; saying “Clip that” during a recording marks the previous 30 seconds, and a clip can be published to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, LinkedIn and TikTok. StreamYard also offers multistreaming, webinars, overlays, virtual backgrounds and background blur. Its AI clips support fifteen languages, French among them, and its dashboard and studio are available in French.
Where Dailies and StreamYard differ
A studio to join, or the call you already have
StreamYard records what happens in its studio. Your guest opens a StreamYard link instead of the usual meeting and, with local recording, stays in the studio until their upload finishes. Dailies leaves the call where it is: on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, in Chrome. It records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, with no bot in the call.
Bringing a Zoom call into StreamYard
StreamYard’s help centre describes one way to bring Zoom in: open Zoom’s in-browser client in Chrome and share that tab, with its audio, into the studio. It adds that this method does not work with Zoom’s desktop app. We found no integration with Google Meet or Teams on the pages we read. Dailies records calls on those three platforms from their own tab, with your webcam on a separate track.
Hesitations, and guests who stay anonymous
Dailies cuts silences, filler words and false starts out of every short, and one switch blurs your guests and disguises their voice, for calls where the other person did not come to be published. In the StreamYard help pages we read, we found neither a feature that removes filler words or silences nor a way to anonymise a guest.
What StreamYard does that Dailies does not
Live streaming to several destinations, webinars, overlays and layouts, local recordings of every guest in up to 4K, a spoken command to mark a moment, and clips published to your social accounts from the same place. Dailies does none of that: it only handles the calls it recorded, and you download each short in Full HD to post it yourself.
Questions people ask
Can StreamYard record a Zoom, Google Meet or Teams call?
Its help centre describes it for Zoom, as a shared tab: open Zoom’s in-browser client in Chrome and share that tab with its audio into the studio, a method it says does not work with Zoom’s desktop app. We found no integration with Google Meet or Teams on the pages we read. Dailies records all three from Chrome.
Does StreamYard make vertical clips automatically?
Yes. Its AI clips analyse a recording and generate vertical 9:16 captioned clips with a title. They reframe the picture by tracking who is speaking, and fall back to the 16:9 picture centred in the vertical frame when faces cannot be detected. The number of clips per month depends on the plan.
Do guests need to install anything to join StreamYard?
Not on a computer. A guest opens the host’s link in a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera, allows camera and microphone and enters a display name. On an iPhone or iPad, StreamYard recommends its iOS app. With local recording on, guests stay in the studio until their upload finishes. With Dailies, your guest joins the usual Meet, Teams or Zoom call and nothing else.
Is Dailies a StreamYard alternative for live streaming?
No. Dailies does not stream and has no studio: it makes shorts from the calls you hold in Chrome on Meet, Teams or Zoom. For a live show or a webinar, a studio such as StreamYard is the right kind of tool.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
