both of them are used in addressing or referring two or more people which I believe of the same meaning.
"you all, got the correct answer."
"all of you got the correct answer."
to my opinion, using these words in a question (5w & 1H) however, "you all" is commonly used.
"Where are you all going this morning?"
"How did you all do that?"
:)

I didn't say it is wrong. Of course it is right and correct!
I said "mostly takes the place of an object" and "rather". Linguistically that doesn't mean it is wrong at all :)

@ Cherry,
It's correct to say both 'I am inviting you all' and 'You all are invited'.
'You all' can be used as subject and object.
'You all know that no one can take your decisions for you.'
Therefore, both 'you all' and 'all of you' can be used as both object and subject, and there's no difference in meaning.
Other examples:
You want to suggest that you all go out together.
There's too much noise. Can you all stop talking, please?
I want you all to be at the meeting.
All of you sit down! Everyone stop what you're doing.

Technically there is no difference.

Hello Gouzai,
There is no difference in meaning,but "All of you " is used as both subject and object ,while "you all" mostly takes the place of an object in the sentence.
Example:
" I am inviting you all" rather than " You all are invited" .
