YoloLiv at IBC 2026 shared a look at what comes next for its live video tools. The tour covered a new iPad app, two ways to connect cameras, and ideas for future YoloBox devices.
Couldn’t make it to the booth? Frank hosted this online tour on the last day of the show. He showed what the team is working on and explained why there was no new YoloBox this year.
Above all, the goal is simple: help more people make professional live video.
1. YoloLiv at IBC 2026: Meet YoloStudio for iPad
First, Frank introduced YoloStudio, an upcoming app for iPad. It aims to bring much of the YoloBox experience to a tablet.
With this approach, creators would not need a dedicated YoloBox to use the app. Instead, they could build a live video setup around a supported iPad.
Frank described plans for these tools:
- Live camera switching
- Streaming to multiple platforms
- Overlays and layouts
- Titles and lower thirds
- Scoreboards
- Replays and transitions
- Recording
For example, a host could switch camera views and add a name title from the iPad. A sports creator could also use a scoreboard during a game.
The app was a key part of the YoloLiv at IBC 2026 tour. However, it was still a preview. The talk did not confirm that every YoloBox feature would be in the first release.
The app might arrive the following month. Still, the video did not give a firm launch date, price, or list of supported iPads.
2. Connect Three USB Cameras
Next, Frank explained the first way to use YoloStudio: as a USB video switcher.
The proposed setup uses a YoloLiv USB camera hub. According to the tour, the hub accepts three USB cameras for use with the iPad app.
YoloCam S3 and S7 are also mentioned during this part of the video. He linked the USB workflow to home studios, podcasts, and creators.
For example, a podcast could use one camera for the host and one for the guest. A third camera could show both people in a wide shot.
Likewise, a product demo could use three views:
- A front view of the host
- A close-up of the product
- An overhead view of the desk
Each view gives the audience a different detail. As a result, the host can choose the shot that best fits the moment.
These are possible uses, rather than setups tested in the video. Before buying gear, check which cameras and iPads the final app supports.
The USB workflow shown by YoloLiv at IBC 2026 offers a clear starting point for a small studio. However, please note that the full connection details still need to be confirmed.
3. Go Wireless with Up to 10 Video Sources
For a more mobile setup, a second option is described: wireless video sources.
The planned app would support up to 10 wireless sources, according to the tour. These could include phone cameras, iPads, and NDI cameras.
For example, a phone could capture a moving view of an event. Meanwhile, other cameras could show the host or the action from fixed spots.
NDI helps video and audio travel over a network. To learn more, read the official NDI introduction.
There are several uses for this wireless approach:
- Small events
- Local sports
- Creator streams
- Booth tours
- IRL city walks
He also pointed to YoloLiv’s Stockholm IRL stream as a use case. A similar type of show could be made with the app.
This part of YoloLiv at IBC 2026 showed how a tablet could serve as the center of a mobile production. In addition, wireless sources could give a crew more choice over where to place each camera.
Therefore, check the final specs before planning a full wireless setup.
4. Explore What Could Come Next for YoloBox
Alongside the app, we addressed a common booth question: why wasn’t there a new YoloBox this year?
The team was weighing two paths. However, both came from requests made by users.
One option is a larger device with more inputs. It could also include SDI and XLR connections for more advanced setups.
The other option is a smaller device. For example, this could be a next-generation YoloBox Mini or Pro.
The smaller concept would use the processor from YoloBox Extreme. However, it would have fewer inputs and a smaller screen.
| Possible path | Idea from the tour |
|---|---|
| Go Bigger | More inputs, plus connections such as SDI and XLR |
| Go Smaller | YoloBox Extreme’s processor in a smaller device |
Neither path was confirmed as a product launch. Instead, the hardware talk from YoloLiv at IBC 2026 gave viewers a look at the choices under review.
Our team wants to make pro video tools accessible to more people. Therefore, the choice involves both user needs and ease of use.
For now, the tour offers insight into the team’s thinking. A firm hardware roadmap was not announced.
5. Make Live Production Easier Through Software
Finally, we turned to software and the role of user feedback.
YoloBox has changed through ongoing updates. New tools are part of that work, but smaller changes also matter.
For example, a clearer control or a smoother way to change layouts can help during a live show. Over time, these changes can make everyday tasks easier.
Four goals for the system:
- Simple to use
- Easy to learn
- Easy to carry
- Able to handle core tasks in one place
In addition, he thanked users for sharing feedback from real shoots and streams. That feedback helps the team decide what to improve.
The software focus at YoloLiv at IBC 2026 also explains the move to iPad. Yolo Studio aims to bring the company’s live production tools to another platform.

The tour referred to recent software changes. However, the spoken video text did not name every feature shown on the booth screen.
What to Look for Next
The online tour of YoloLiv at IBC 2026 covered both near-term plans and ideas still under review.
YoloStudio was the main app preview. Meanwhile, future YoloBox hardware remained an open question.
Before planning a setup around the app, look for these launch details:
- Release date and price
- Supported iPads
- USB camera and hub support
- Wireless source limits and network needs
- Features available on day one
If you already use YoloBox, also watch for news about future devices and software updates.
The feedback of the users who share ideas and trust the team’s work helps shape what comes next.
