Yes—if the video is already available as a Video Clip in your StreamYard studio’s Media assets. Open Media assets > Video Clips, enable Loop for the clip, and it repeats until you stop it. For an existing past broadcast, StreamYard documents a different no-download option: use it as a scheduled pre-recorded stream, which ends when playback finishes rather than looping.

Loop a stored Video Clip in the studio

  1. Open your StreamYard studio and select Media assets.

  2. Open Video Clips and find the clip you want to play.

  3. Enable Loop for that clip.

  4. Play the clip during the studio broadcast. It repeats indefinitely until you manually stop it, according to StreamYard’s loop instructions.

    • Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
    • Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
    • Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
    • Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
    • 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.

This applies to a Video Clip stored in the studio’s media assets. StreamYard describes Video Clips as stored on its service, but its documentation does not confirm that an existing cloud recording can be converted directly into a looping clip without downloading, uploading, or otherwise preparing it.

Choose the right no-download option

What you want to do Documented StreamYard option Does it loop?
Repeat a clip during a live studio broadcast Play a stored Video Clip from Media assets > Video Clips and enable Loop. Yes, until you stop it.
Schedule an existing StreamYard broadcast without making a local copy Choose the broadcast under Past broadcasts while setting up a pre-recorded stream. No. The scheduled stream ends when the video finishes, as described in StreamYard’s pre-recorded streaming guide.
Share a recording for someone to watch Use the recording’s Share control to copy its hosted URL. StreamYard documents this for paid-plan streams. No. Sharing a hosted recording is not a looping studio playback. See StreamYard’s recording-sharing instructions.
Present a long video file in a live studio Use Present > Video file and select an MP4 or MOV on your computer. The documented controls are play, pause, scrub, and audio; this workflow uses a local file, and the shared file is not saved to your StreamYard account. See StreamYard’s video-file guide.

What if the video is a past StreamYard recording?

If it appears under Past broadcasts, you can select it for a scheduled pre-recorded stream instead of uploading a local copy. That is useful when you want to rebroadcast it at a particular time, but it is not the same as an indefinite loop: the stream finishes when the recording ends. StreamYard’s documentation does not establish a direct cloud-recording-to-looping-Video-Clip workflow, so do not assume the past-broadcast option will repeat automatically.

Check plan and file limits before preparing a clip

  • StreamYard’s Video Clips documentation says custom clips are available on paid plans and lists a standard upload limit of less than 10 minutes and 200 MB, with a larger allowance listed for Business. It requires MP4. Verify the current limit for your plan in StreamYard before preparing a file.

  • The pre-recorded stream guide lists plan-specific duration and upload limits and says uploaded pre-recorded videos must be MP4 with H.264 encoding. These rules apply to pre-recorded streams, not necessarily to the Video Clip loop control.

Troubleshooting

The clip plays once and stops

Check that you enabled Loop for the item in Media assets > Video Clips. The loop control applies to Video Clips; selecting a past broadcast as a pre-recorded stream is a separate workflow and ends at completion.

The recording is not listed under Video Clips

A past broadcast and a stored Video Clip are distinct asset types. The documented no-download path for a past broadcast is to select it under Past broadcasts for a pre-recorded stream. StreamYard’s documentation does not say that this selection turns the broadcast into a looping clip.

You cannot upload the clip

Check that your plan supports custom Video Clips, the file is MP4, and it fits the applicable file-size and duration limits. The listed standard limit is less than 10 minutes and 200 MB; Business has a larger listed allowance. Confirm the current limits for your plan before retrying.

The pre-recorded stream does not repeat

That is expected for the documented Past broadcasts and pre-recorded-stream workflow: it ends when playback finishes. Use the studio’s Video Clip loop setting when your goal is a repeating clip within a live studio broadcast.

Or let it run in the cloud

If your goal is a YouTube channel that stays live with uploaded video on repeat, StreamNeo is a separate option from StreamYard’s studio clip control. Upload a recording or build a playlist, add your YouTube stream key once, and go live; StreamNeo loops uploaded videos from the cloud, so nothing has to stay on at home. It is for YouTube, not camera-based streaming.
