How to use mirrorless camera for multi live streaming without a computer or phone

-

I am about to document how I use my Panasonic mirrorless camera to multi-stream live on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitch without using a computer or a phone. 

3 Ways to Live Stream

I use 3 ways to broadcast a live stream? 

- The first and easiest way is to use a phone with the Prism Live Studio app and my favorite Joby tripod phone case. 

- The second way is to stream from my laptop using the OBS Studio Software and the built-in laptop webcam. 

- The third way is to use a dedicated live streaming encoding hardware or device so that I can stream at higher quality by connecting my mirrorless camera. 

The third method is the setup I'm going to talk about in this video.

Check out the links to all the items I just mentioned in the description or comments below. 

The Yolobox Mini

This live streaming encoding device is the Yolobox Mini AND it's not just an encoder.  

The Yolobox Mini is also...

- a monitor,

- a recorder, and

- a multi-platform streamer.

Keep watching and I will demonstrate what else it can do. 

Yolobox vs Pro vs Mini

Right now as I am recording this in the year 2022, there are 3 Yolobox versions out there. 

- The first Original one-of-its-kind Yolobox was introduced to the live streaming market with all-in-one features including the encoder, monitor, recorder, multi-streamer, and multi-camera switcher. 

- The Yolobox Pro came later with additional features and more video inputs. 

- The Yolobox Mini is the newest among the lot designed for a different type of user.  

There 3 distinct differences in the Yolobox Mini.  

1. First, it is the newest and the most affordable among the lot. 

2. Secondly, it has only one video input, unlike the multi-camera features in the other 2 Yolobox.  

3. Finally, as the name implies, it is small, nearly the size of a phone. 

Because of its mini size, it is definitely targeted at solo vloggers or live streamers like me.
