We are officially halfway through 2026, and it has been a busy six months at YoloLiv. From show floors in Barcelona and Las Vegas to meet-ups with creators across three continents, a near-weekly run of live shows on YouTube, and a steady stream of version updates that keeps making our gear smarter — here is a recap of everything we have shipped, shown, and shared since January.
Out in the world: trade shows
The first half of the year took us back to the industry’s biggest stages. We kicked things off at ISE 2026 in Barcelona (February 3–6), Europe’s flagship pro-AV gathering, where YoloBox Extreme and the YoloCam lineup drew steady crowds at the booth. A few weeks later we crossed to Japan for CP+ 2026 in Yokohama (February 26 – March 1), putting our cameras and switchers in front of the imaging community. Then in April we returned to the desert for NAB 2026 in Las Vegas (April 19–22), the broadcast industry’s anchor event, to show how a single operator can now run a true multi-camera production out of a backpack.
Three shows, three continents, one consistent message: professional live streaming should be simple, portable, and within reach of everyone.
Meeting you in person: Global User Meet-Ups
Trade shows are where we meet the industry. Meet-ups are where we meet you.
In the first half of 2026 we hosted three Global User Meet-Ups, each one a chance to connect with creators, swap workflows, and get real-world feedback straight from the people using our gear every day.
- Barcelona, Spain — February 2. Timed right before ISE, this was the perfect warm-up: a room full of European creators sharing what they build with YoloBox.
- Dallas, USA — April 25.
- New York, USA — April 29.
A packed week in late April brought the meet-up energy to two U.S. cities in five days.
Across all three, the format stayed true to the spirit of the program — connect, share, inspire — and the conversations are already shaping what comes next. Our user group has now grown past 14,000 members, and if your city isn’t on the map yet, you can still nominate it.
Always live: the YoloLiv Tech show
If you follow us on YouTube, you already know the channel barely went quiet. From late March through June we ran 15 live shows — a steady mix of behind-the-scenes hangouts, roadshow broadcasts, feature previews, and hands-on tutorials.
Taking you on the road. As NAB and the U.S. meet-ups approached, we brought the community along for the ride:
- Join Us at NAB 2026 and YoloLiv User Meetups! Where Can We Connect with You?
- LIVE from Vegas! What To Expect from NAB2026?
- LIVE from Dallas! The User Meetup You Don’t Want to Miss!
- LIVE from B&H / New York! The User Meetup You Don’t Want to Miss!
Hanging out and shaping what’s next. Some of the most personal streams were simply us, our founders, and the community talking shop:
- Live from YoloLiv HQ with Frank & Aaron
- Future Topics & Formats: Join Frank as Remote Guests to Brainstorm Our Live Show
- Spontaneous Live Stream on a Boat Ride with Aaron Parecki at West Lake, Hangzhou, China

Better with every update
We keep improving long after you buy it — and the first half of 2026 was one of our busiest update stretches yet, with new firmware and software landing across the whole lineup:
- YoloBox Extreme — v2.2.0, v2.3.0, v2.4.0, v2.5.0, and v2.6.0
- YoloBox Ultra — v3.2.0
- YoloCam S3 — v0.0.7 (Compose v1.0.6) and v0.0.8 (Compose v1.0.9)
- YoloCam S7 — v1.0.0 (Compose v1.0.8) and v1.0.2 (Compose v1.1.0)
That’s a lot of free, over-the-air value delivered in six months — exactly the kind of enhancing value and functionality over time that keeps YoloBox owners ahead.
Looking ahead
Halfway through the year, the pattern is clear: show up where our community are, listen to what they need, and keep shipping. More meet-ups are on the calendar, more shows are coming to the channel, and the firmware train isn’t slowing down.
Thank you for being part of the journey so far — the best of 2026 is still ahead.
