Automated StreamYard Comment Follow-Ups

Every morning, WebRun opens StreamYard, reads the comments that came in during your last broadcast across its destinations, separates the questions that never got an on-air answer, writes them into a Google Sheet, and posts your team the reply queue in Microsoft Teams.

In short

How do I follow up on comments from my last live stream?

WebRun opens StreamYard every morning and reads the comments from your last broadcast across every destination it went out to. It separates the questions that never got an on-air answer, writes them into a Google Sheet, and posts the reply queue to Microsoft Teams, so viewers get replies instead of silence.

  • Unanswered viewer questions surface the morning after every show
  • Repeated questions get grouped so one reply clears several
  • Every question carries the destination it came from

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it reply to viewers publicly?

No. WebRun builds an internal queue in Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams and stops there. Every public reply is written and posted by a person on your team.

How does it know a question was already answered?

It checks whether the question was read out or replied to during the broadcast and marks it answered, so the queue holds only what still needs a response.

Does it cover every place the stream went out to?

Yes. It reads the comments StreamYard pulled in from each destination the broadcast was sent to, and tags every question with where it came from.

Put this on autopilot.
