Why A Simple Streaming Runs on 8 YoloBoxes: A Success Story from William Kolacek

Why A Simple Streaming Runs on 8 YoloBoxes: A Success Story from William Kolacek

This article explains how William Kolacek, the founder of A Simple Streaming in March 2020, had one goal when creating his company: make professional, private live streaming easy and accessible for life’s most meaningful moments. Fast forward to today, William and his team have completed over 1,500 live streams and operate with eight YoloBox units, a decision that’s transformed their efficiency, scalability, and revenue. Before switching to YoloBox, William’s setup relied on cameras and PCs, which often included long setup times and limited mobility. That all changed when he discovered YoloBox in May 2020. After the first flawless streams, William quickly expanded his gear to include eight YoloBoxes, giving his team the flexibility to cover multiple events simultaneously and on the go. 

A Portable, Profitable Setup

The A Simple Streaming crew uses YoloBox with:

This mobile-friendly rig lets them be fully operational in under 5 minutes without any wiring or PCs.

Favorite Features of YoloBox

William and his team rely on several YoloBox features that streamline their workflows:

  • SD card switching for pre-roll and highlight videos

  • Audio source selection for flexible mixing

  • Overlay graphics for branding and sponsorships

  • Built-in speed test for quick network checks

  • Fast, intuitive interface that anyone on the team can operate

William’s next move? YoloBox Pro, offers additional HDMI inputs and dual SD card video sources, making it ideal for expanding multi-cam coverage and live production flexibility.

Virtual Training, Real Impact: How Seven Wonders Learning Leveled Up with Wirecast Studio

Virtual Training, Real Impact: How Seven Wonders Learning Leveled Up with Wirecast Studio

As described in this article, when global circumstances pushed education and training online, Seven Wonders Learning saw an opportunity. Founder William Cook launched a state-of-the-art TeleLearning Studio from his Las Vegas headquarters, built around Telestream’s Wirecast Studio, to deliver the same high-energy, immersive training his clients had come to expect.

Wirecast Studio offered everything Cook needed in one affordable, intuitive package. With support for unlimited video inputs, five mixing layers, chromakey capabilities, and seamless integration with platforms like Zoom, the software let him recreate a polished, multi-camera production without needing a full technical crew. Cook also incorporated Desktop Presenter, a Telestream tool that streams content from laptops or desktops directly into Wirecast, allowing for smooth transitions and better audience focus.

This setup solved common virtual training pain points like “Zoom fatigue,” screen-sharing lag, and disjointed presentations. With the instructor front and center, visually merged with the presentation content, learners remained engaged and alert—even during sessions lasting multiple hours over several days.

Participants from top organizations such as IGT and Nevada Gold Mines were impressed, calling the experience as effective as in-person workshops. The high production value and interactivity made the sessions feel like they were happening in the same room. Cook is now expanding the system to include real-time ASL interpretation for accessibility and developing on-demand video training to reach even broader audiences.

By blending professional video tools with pedagogical expertise, Seven Wonders Learning has redefined what virtual instruction can be with Wirecast Studio as its engine.
