The short answer
- Where: Download any recordings you want to keep (Library, three dots next to a recording, Download) (streamyard.com).
- When it ends: Auto-renewal stops; paid features stay until the plan expires, then the account switches to the Free plan with no further charges.
- Billed by someone else? Cancel with them instead: Apple.
- Before you go: export Recordings in your Library. What to save
- Want to keep it for less? Free plan and more. Options
Before you cancel
Export first
- Recordings in your Library: Log in, click Library in the left menu, click the three dots next to a recording, select Download and follow the flow. Download before the paid term ends: recordings stop being available after it and can't be restored support.streamyard.com support.streamyard.com
What happens to your data
Recordings are no longer available once the paid term expires, and StreamYard says it can't restore them if you reactivate. The Terms say content is retained for 6 months from your last payment after a downgrade to free, after which content more than 12 months old may be deleted.
What you lose
- Access to your recordings once the paid term expires
- Paid features (the Free plan's limits apply)
- Unused add-ons and allowances, which are not reimbursed

Keep it for less
Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.
- Free plan Cancelling moves the account to the Free plan when the paid term ends support.streamyard.com
- Cheaper plan Switch to a cheaper plan on the Plans page (Choose under the plan). The change is immediate, the renewal date stays the same, and any overpayment becomes in-house credit for future invoices support.streamyard.com
- Cheaper plan Drop the storage add-on: in Billing, click Manage in the Storage section, select 50 hours - free, then Downgrade hours; billing for it stops at the next renewal support.streamyard.com
- Fewer seats Business plan: in Billing, select Manage seats and use the minus icon to remove seats (not below the 2 seats included) support.streamyard.com
- Student or nonprofit price Non-profit organizations and educational institutions get 10% off monthly and annual plans: contact Support, choose Billing, Payments & Plans, then Discounts for Non-profit organizations, with recent tax-exempt documentation and an account email on the organization's domain support.streamyard.com
For AI agents
- The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
- Download recordings before the paid term ends: they can't be restored later
- If the cancel link shows 'page not found', there is no active subscription on that account: check other email addresses
- Pausing a subscription is no longer available
- Cancel the paid plan before deleting the account; deletion is permanent
- A refund ends paid access immediately (the account drops to Free)
- App Store subscribers cancel and request refunds through Apple
Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/streamyard.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.
Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
Delete your account (separate from cancelling)
Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
