Can you deliver vertically?
When I was asked that by a client, I couldn't answer right away.
To be honest, I was licking the vertical stream. I thought, "All you have to do is rotate the horizontal setting 90 degrees." Until I actually tried it.
It was hell.
I installed the camera vertically, made a vertical canvas with OBS, and remade the entire layout. It took 4 hours. Then, when I tried to broadcast it to Instagram in production, it said, "Live Producer feature approval is required."
I applied for approval and waited 2 weeks. The result is "not approved." TikTok needs 1000 followers!
I apologized to the client, saying, "I can't stream on Instagram or TikTok." They said, "Then on YouTube," but the client wanted Instagram or TikTok.
That experience taught me a different approach.
"With YoloBox Ultra, Instagram and TikTok official apps work as is. You don't need approval or anything."
I couldn't believe it at first. But when I looked it up, it was true. Ultra is based on Android, so it's treated the same as a smartphone. Just install the app, log in, and press the "Live Stream" button.
Moreover, advanced images created on the Ultra side (3 camera switching, chroma key synthesis, telop display) are delivered directly via the app. It is a mechanism called virtual camera.
Vertical delivery has become the main product now. We receive 10 orders a month. Moreover, the unit price is high. Because there are few competitors, price negotiation is also advantageous.
I don't want you to walk the detour I took. There is a shortest route. I summarized it in a note article.
From selection of equipment to specific settings and troubleshooting. We disclose all the technologies used in actual projects.

縦型ライブ配信は近年のSNS活用で需要が高まっているにもかかわらず、技術的なハードルが高く、多くの配信者が苦労しています。僕自身も最初は「横型を90度回転させるだけ」と軽く考え、実際にカメラ設置やOBS設定に多くの時間を費やしました。特に、InstagramのLive Producerの承認問題やTikTokのフォロワー制限に直面した経験は、多くの人に共通する悩みだと思います。 しかし、YoloBox Ultraに出会って状況がガラリと変わりました。このAndroidベースの機器は、公式アプリをそのまま利用できるため承認申請の煩わしさがなく、ライブ配信のプロセスを大幅に簡素化します。僕はこの機器を使用することで、3カメラの切替やクロマキー合成、テロップ表示といった高度な映像演出も自然に実現でき、視聴者の満足度も格段に上がりました。 更に、縦型ライブ配信による差別化で競合が減り、案件単価もアップ。月に10件以上の受注を安定して獲得できています。縦型市場はまだ成熟していない分野なので、今から取り組む価値は非常に大きいと感じます。 縦型ライブ配信に挑戦している方には、機材選定から配信設定、実際のトラブル対応まで網羅した情報をnote記事にまとめており、僕の失敗や成功の経験から得た最短ルートを共有しています。効率的に始められるので、興味のある方はぜひ参考にしてください。縦型配信の可能性は無限大です！
