CamTuner for StreamYard
Frame your webcam for StreamYard broadcasts — including 9:16 vertical streams. CamTuner crops and centers your camera in the browser.
StreamYard broadcasts get reused everywhere: the YouTube replay wants 16:9, the TikTok and Shorts clips want 9:16, and your camera only shoots one shape. Whatever doesn't fit becomes bars or a blind crop.
CamTuner shapes the feed before StreamYard receives it. Use a 16:9 crop for standard broadcasts, or switch the whole show vertical with a 9:16 frame — live in the browser, no virtual camera, no desktop software.
Does CamTuner work with StreamYard?
StreamYard in the browser
Works. CamTuner adjusts the camera stream inside the browser before the platform receives it.
No desktop app to worry about
StreamYard studios run entirely in the browser, so CamTuner works for hosts and guests on every broadcast.
Set it up in under a minute
Add CamTuner to Chrome
Install from the Chrome Web Store and allow camera access.
Set your framing
Pick 16:9 for landscape shows — or 9:16 if the whole broadcast is vertical — plus zoom and alignment, in the CamTuner popup.
Enter the studio and confirm on the device check
StreamYard's camera settings screen shows the tuned feed. Keep your normal camera selected and go live.
Recommended framing for StreamYard
StreamYard reads best with a 16:9 frame. See exactly how to set it up in our crop to 16:9 guide, or try your framing live in the demo on the homepage.
Good to know
For vertical broadcasts, frame 9:16 at the source
Instead of letting StreamYard center-crop your landscape feed for vertical destinations, deliver a real 9:16 frame and choose exactly what's in the shot.
Camera switching mid-show is safe
If you change cameras in the studio, CamTuner re-applies your framing to the new stream automatically.
StreamYard + CamTuner FAQ
Can I use CamTuner for vertical (9:16) streams?
Yes — that's one of its best uses. Set a 9:16 aspect ratio in the extension and StreamYard's vertical destinations receive a native vertical frame instead of a cropped-down landscape one.
Do viewers see my framing on the final broadcast?
Yes. StreamYard receives the already-framed stream, so the crop and zoom are baked into everything: the live show, the replay and the clips.
Does it work for guests joining my studio?
For guests, framing is set on their device — each guest needs CamTuner installed in their own Chrome to appear framed.
