The Rise of Vertical Content
In recent years, we have witnessed a massive shift towards mobile devices as the primary source of internet traffic. With this change in consumer behavior, content creators and marketers have been forced to adapt their strategies to meet the new demands of mobile users. One of the most significant changes is the rise of the vertical video format.
Vertical videos, typically formatted in a 9:16 aspect ratio, are designed for portrait viewing on mobile devices. Unlike horizontal videos, which are suited for TVs and laptops, vertical format and video content is tailored for smartphones—where most viewing occurs. These videos have become the preferred format for creators on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. They are also thriving on serialized streaming services such as ReelShort, DramaBox, and LokShorts.
Producing live vertical content on these platforms is especially attractive to producers since followers 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.

Whether you’re live streaming, recording, or broadcasting, our Instream, YoloBox Ultra (Vertical Streaming Mode), YoloCam S7, and more are designed to help you create stunning vertical content with professional ease.
YoloLiv Instream – Vertical Streaming Made Easy
Instream is an all-in-one multicam vertical live streaming studio that has been designed specifically for content creators wanting to stream to platforms such as Instagram or TikTok. Users could create more engaging vertical content using multiple camera angles with live switching, graphic overlays, animated countdown timers, Picture in Picture, and Chroma Key.
Instream has a lot of the same features as found in 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 is operated via a 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. Instream uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 8-core processor, and provides an LCD touchscreen with 600 nits brightness.
