How to Fix YouTube Live Streaming Connectivity Issues

Are you broadcasting live video streams to YouTube? Encountering errors related to incorrect video settings, video keyframe frequency, available Internet bandwidth, latency (lag) or jittery / choppy video quality reported by your watchers?

First of all, take a look at YouTube’s live troubleshooting guide from Google and see if there’s anything you can fix using their recommendations. If you still continue to see those live streaming issues, it means that there might be something wrong with your Internet connection in terms of bandwidth, latency and reliability.

Read below to see how easy it is to get a fast and dependable Internet connection so you can stream live videos to YouTube with peace of mind that everyone will get the best available quality.

It’s not only you and it’s not even related to YouTube live streaming. We’ve all been there – experiencing slow Internetand even disconnects at some point. But it’s most annoying when you’re streaming live video online to YouTube.

The most common situations where you might encounter these type of connectivity issues with YouTube live streams include:

• On the move / traveling – on the street, bus, train. You may be connected to a bad / spotty WiFi hotspot.
• In crowded areas – the available bandwidth may not be sufficient to serve everyone on a stadium, at a concert or at a frat house party.
• At home – if your ISP is doing maintenance work right when you’re broadcasting live streams to YouTube. Or maybe you’re paying for a certain download/upload speed and you’re not getting that.

Here’s what happens: if the connection is slow, you may not be live streaming to YouTube at a high resolution due to limited available bandwidth, so your videos may appear jittery / choppy. Plus – if your Internet connection is spotty and disconnects for some reason – your viewers are left watching the YouTube loading screen.

If the Internet connection speed and latency causes issues with your YouTube Live video streams, then you should get more bandwidth, preferably from more sources.

Speedify is a software app that gets you faster, more reliable and secure Internet by allowing you to use multiple Internet connections at the same time. By doing that, you’re not only solving the bandwidth and latency issues related to YouTube live streaming videos, but also the need for an automatic failover mechanism that needs to kick in should anything happen to one of your connections.

In order to combine 2 or more Internet connections simultaneously, Speedify uses patent pending channel bonding technology to do that – it’s the only software-only solution that can run on any device, whether it’s a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone or tablet.

If one of your connections fails, Speedify automatically reroutes all the traffic through your other available connection(s). This happens in the background without you having to do anything. When the dropped connection is back online, Speedify will pick it up and start using it again.

Speedify doesn’t just get you a fast and reliable Internet connection when live streaming to YouTube. Speedify is the only true mobile VPN available. It protects you from compromised wifi networks and snooping hackers. It uses real military-grade encryption to make sure your private data stays under your control and nobody can swat you out of your YouTube Live streaming.

Before Speedify, users often had to choose between security and speed. Because Speedify was designed with speed as one of its primary goals, you no longer have to sacrifice speed for security. You can have both.
