Always put the network test into the first priority before going live, because you will need a rather stable network.

Tips for a Qualified Live Stream
- Stream Considerations:
- We all know it allowed us to stream at 1080p 60fps, but a non-business account will not stream at 1080p, get your account verified as a business account.
- Do a solid network test before going live
- Use half of the bandwidth
- To know more practical tips, refer to this YoloBox Best Practices for Live Streaming | New User Guide
- Constant Improvement Philosophy
We probably should keep in mind that although YoloLiv brought the YoloBox Mini out, some key features on YoloBox Pro are missing like chroma keying and switching feature, but YoloLiv users will always get the free software updates continuously~
What Are the Differences Between YoloBox Pro and YoloBox Mini?
- Same QualComm CPU as YoloBox Pro; 8-Core Processor, but it’s smaller in size and more powerful in capability.
- No SD Card Video as a switching source: YoloBox Mini has only one single video input from HDMI or USB webcam, so there is no video input source on it.
- 1080p/60fps: HDMI or USB Video, the USB webcam and the HDMI video cannot be captured at the same time. This is the most difference between the two models.
