The Mevo Start is a video camera that has several features, including the ability to record or stream video by pressing the power button once and the ability to turn on or off wired webcam mode by pressing the power button twice. The Mevo Start can also be powered on or off using a USB C cable and a smart plug. The device has an option in the settings to switch the line level/mic level toggle when using a 3.5 millimeter jack from a sound board. The Mevo Start customer group on Facebook is actively monitored by Logitech, and the company is open to customer input and feedback. The Mevo Start also has the ability to run Safari and monitor comments on an iPad, but does not have split view capability. On an Android tablet, the Mevo Start has split screen capability and can run alongside other apps.

The software team over at Mevo has been busy releasing a new BETA app built on their very successful Mevo Mic app. This one allows your smart device to be used as an input for your stream. Both screen casting and camera use are included in this app. You can sign up to test it at the Mevo Customer Group on FB.
Yololiv sent a review unit of their YoloBox Pro. This video compares it to the Mevo setup using Multicam.
I love the process of getting ready for the game. Smell of the infield being ’wetted’. Buzz of the fans. Conversations about streaming equipment… Pre-game setup is its own event.
If you know, you know. Projectors, sound system, media computer, ProPresenter7. There is always a sweet spot for the ORDER in which we start Sunday mornings. Here’s mine:
So often we lose ourselves chasing success. Somehow we have defined success according to a misguided idea of perfection. Allow me to give you a piece of advice: Aim for value over success.
Value means we have added to the world in which we operate. Value means I’m beneficial to the folks around me. Value lets my imperfections be real without wallowing in them.
When I can look back at my day or season or life and find where I added value to my family or job or community there should be a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. When I am driven by a vague idea of success I end too many days empty.
Find yourself a niche where you add value. Then enjoy the process of producing said value over and over again.
Multicam for Android has dropped in the Play Store and brings some great changes for Mevo users.
