Can I use the Composite output instead of the HDMI?

Yes you can!
For RPi 4, please follow the below steps.
You can make use of the composite (analog) video format on Raspberry Pi 4 by plugging an RCA cable to the audio-jack port.

Beyond that, you will also have to type the following settings in the "Raspberry config.txt Override Directives" text box:

disable_fkms=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=0
hdmi_enable_4k=0
hdmi_enable_4kp60=0
enable_tvout=1

To do that follow these steps:
  1. Log into Yodeck portal.
  2. Go to "Monitors" and edit the Monitor in question.
  3. Go to "Advanced" tab.
  4. Enable the "Allow Raspberry config.txt Override" toggle button.
  5. Click "Save".
Wait for the player to finish the configuration and after a couple of minutes you should now see output on the composite port of your Raspberry Pi 4.
