YoloLiv has introduced Instream, an all-in-one multicam vertical live streaming studio that is designated for the new generation of content creators, influencers, storytellers and videographers.
This 7-inch box is not only the integration of an encoder, switcher, recorder and monitor, but also a graphic generator, multiview builder and a vertical content creation tool.YoloLiv re-envisions video production with a new standalone solution that features your live streams through Instagram and TikTok, all in a vertical format that sits upright, in the palm of your hand.
Instream packs a full suite of broadcast enhancing features as the current YoloBox lineups. It includes 2 HDMI inputs and 1 USB input and supports Wi-Fi, 4G LTE and Ethernet connections. Just like the YoloBox, Instream can easily be operated on the touch screen and can be used intuitively like a smartphone. With its compact size, Instream can fit in a backpack easily and gives people the ability to consume their content more and more on mobile and on-the-go. By using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, an 8-core processor, Instream is even more powerful than current YoloBox lineups. It also provides an LCD touchscreen with 600 nits brightness.
Vertical Video As The New Norm & Default
In the midst of this video revolution where over 75% are consumed vertically. The traditional 16:9, landscape format is being replaced by 9:16, vertical format that has fast become the new norm and new default for video creation and consumption. Vertical video is exploding on nearly every social media platform, including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram (IGTV) and Snapchat.
Create Better & More Engaging Content Vertically
Producing live vertical content on these platforms is especially attractive to the New Generation of Content Creators, Influencers, Storytellers & Videographers since followers/subscribers can be notified in real-time when events go live. Smart phones have been used for creating vertical content, but there are limitations due to just having a single camera angle. While the traditional OBS is way too complicated for most people. With Instream, to create more engaging vertical content, multiple camera angles with live switching, graphic overlays, animated countdown timers, even more professional features like Picture in Picture, and Chroma Key will surely take your productions to the next level.
Risk-Free Livestream to Instagram and TikTok
It’s worth mentioning that Instream made vertical streaming easy because it allows users to live stream to Instagram and TikTok without the need of computers and OBS. It can be risky to use software like Yellow Duck by giving out your account and password and not mentioning that your account can be suspended by the platform at any time. Instream gives users full protection by not violating these regulations. With Instream, you can be among the first to lead the future of video.

The YoloBox Mini is a compact, single-source streaming encoder and recorder with the ability to do some audio mixing, overlay a sports scoreboard, social media content, logos, and lower-thirds. It's not a multi-camera live-switching tool like the original YoloBox or the YoloBox Pro. I consider it more of a YoloStream than a YoloBox, but this 5" screen device is so compact and light, it certainly is "Mini."
