Favorite Features on YoloBox Pro
- Multiple cameras: Antonie loves the ability to switch between multiple cameras since YoloBox Pro has 3 built-in HDMI ports. He feels that multicamera filming makes for much more engaging and enjoyable viewing than relying on a single camera, shooting statically from one angle.
- SD card video sources: Antonie made his own customized openning and closing intro videos for his event since YoloBox Pro supports 2 video sources from an SD card. He’s able to put his logo and slogan on the videos as well.
- Multi-views: Antonie loves the fact that he has 3 different multi-view options on YoloBox Pro. He uses this feature a lot. With the PIP or side-by-side, he is able to show a PDF file with the lesson contents and himself teaching at the same time. Antonie says that YoloBox Pro has the easiest multi-view to use.
- Comment overlays: The built-in comment overlay allows Antonie to read comments while streaming YouTube videos. Also, Antonie loves the ability to change front, color, background and styles for the comment overlays. By tapping the comment, he can easily interact with his audience during the live events.
- Streaming to multiple destinations: From this use case, Antoine can stream to multiple destinations spontaneously and it allows him to expand his audience, and attract viewers that may have been unaware of their broadcasts. By simulcasting with , he can broadcast his lessons everywhere, and meet his viewers where they are.

- Use a fast and reliable Internet Connection: without a fast and stable internet connection, you can’t stream live content in high HD quality. The YoloBox Pro supports 3 ways to access the internet – Ethernet, Sim card and Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Test Everything: when it comes to livestreaming, even the pros can have problems. Fortunately, avoiding most of these is simple: test, then retest. That should be a mantra for live streamers. The system has a lot of moving parts, including your camera, audio, internet, encoder, and graphics. If anyone of these systems fails, the whole stream can fall flat.
