**[OPENING]**  

"Hey everyone, it’s Adrian from VideoLane, and welcome back to another live streaming tutorial. Today, we’ll be doing a deep dive into two of the most powerful live streaming devices on the market — the YoloBox Ultra and the YoloLiv Instream. Both of these devices are packed with features designed to take your professional live streaming game to the next level. But which one is better for **vertical live streaming**, especially for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and others? Let’s find out!"

**[INTRO TO VERTICAL LIVE STREAMING]**  

"Before we dive into the comparison, let’s quickly talk about vertical live streaming. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and even YouTube Shorts have made vertical video the go-to format for a mobile-first audience. So, if you want to maximize your reach, streaming in vertical format is essential. And that’s where these two devices — YoloBox Ultra and YoloLiv Instream — come in. But they cater to different needs, so let’s see which one is better suited for your professional live streaming setup."

**[COMPARISON OF CORE FEATURES]**  

"Let’s start by comparing the core features of both devices."


1. **Form Factor and Design**

   - **YoloBox Ultra**: It’s a compact, all-in-one device that acts as your video switcher, encoder, recorder, and monitor. The touch screen interface makes it super easy to manage multiple streams and sources simultaneously.

   - **YoloLiv Instream**: The Instream, on the other hand, is designed specifically for vertical live streaming. It’s also compact and mobile-friendly, but with features specifically catered toward mobile-first platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

   

   *Verdict*: If your main focus is professional multi-platform streaming across horizontal and vertical formats, the YoloBox Ultra is more versatile. But for **pure vertical streaming**, the YoloLiv Instream is laser-focused and optimized.


2. **Vertical Stream Optimization**

   - **YoloBox Ultra**: While the YoloBox Ultra does support vertical streaming, you need to manually adjust the stream settings to make sure your content is displayed in the correct vertical aspect ratio (9:16).

   - **YoloLiv Instream**: The YoloLiv Instream is *designed* for vertical streaming out of the box. It automatically configures the stream to fit vertical formats without any extra steps, so if you’re primarily doing vertical streams, this device has the edge.


   *Verdict*: For quick, no-hassle vertical streaming, the YoloLiv Instream wins hands down. It’s designed specifically for vertical content, so you don’t have to tinker with any settings.

**[STREAMING TO MULTIPLE PLATFORMS SIMULTANEOUSLY]**  

"Next, let’s talk about **multi-platform streaming**."


1. **YoloBox Ultra**: YoloBox Ultra allows you to stream to multiple platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch simultaneously, thanks to its built-in multi-streaming capability. You can stream to up to three platforms at once, making it a powerful tool for streamers looking to reach multiple audiences.

2. **YoloLiv Instream**: While YoloLiv Instream is optimized for TikTok and Instagram, its multi-platform streaming capabilities are somewhat limited. You can still go live on both platforms, but if you need to stream to additional platforms like YouTube or Twitch in vertical format, the Ultra gives you more flexibility.


   *Verdict*: If multi-platform streaming is a priority, especially across a variety of platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, **YoloBox Ultra** has the upper hand. For TikTok and Instagram focus, **Instream** is the winner.

**[VIDEO QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE]**  

"Now let’s look at **video quality and performance**."


1. **YoloBox Ultra**: The Ultra supports resolutions up to 1080p with 60fps for crystal-clear video, even when streaming to multiple platforms. It’s powerful enough to handle high-definition inputs from professional cameras, so your streams look polished and professional.

2. **YoloLiv Instream**: Instream also supports 1080p video, but since it’s optimized for mobile platforms, it’s built to work seamlessly with both mobile cameras and professional setups. The added vertical format means it’s designed for mobile viewership, with an emphasis on simplicity and mobile compatibility.


   *Verdict*: Both devices provide high-quality video streaming, but the **YoloBox Ultra** shines when it comes to **horizontal and multi-camera setups**. If you’re purely focused on vertical mobile streaming, **YoloLiv Instream** is ideal.

**[USER INTERFACE AND EASE OF USE]**  

"Let’s talk about **ease of use**."


1. **YoloBox Ultra**: The interface on the YoloBox Ultra is highly intuitive, with drag-and-drop functionality for video sources and a touchscreen interface that makes switching between inputs and managing your live streams a breeze. However, it may require some initial setup when configuring vertical streams.

2. **YoloLiv Instream**: Instream’s user interface is designed with simplicity in mind. Since it’s optimized for TikTok and Instagram, you don’t need to worry about adjusting settings for vertical streaming. It’s very much a plug-and-play device, which is perfect for creators who want a no-fuss setup for mobile platforms.


   *Verdict*: If you’re looking for **ease of use** in vertical streaming, **YoloLiv Instream** wins. For users who want more control over multi-platform streams, the **YoloBox Ultra** provides a more robust solution.
