Ever wished you could live stream from important sports events for your followers on social media accounts or just for friends, but you couldn't do that just because the video quality was poor, video was stuttering or buffering? Or send large files (like videos) to others and not wait for hours before the transfer is finished? 

With Speedify, you can combine both connections on your iPhone or Android for a smoother experience. If you need even more speed - like for video calls or live streaming - there’s actually another way to get that. You can connect to multiple personal hotspots at the same time and use them together with Speedify.

Speedify's Pair & Share feature lets you combine multiple personal hotspots together to increase internet bandwidth and minimize latency for everyone. No need for cables or complicated setup: it all works through the Speedify app. Check below to see how you can connect to multiple hotspots at once and use them together.

In order to live stream from sports events, you need Internet connectivity that you can rely on. Here are a few reasons why you usually don’t get that by only using one connection:

• 4G / 5G cellular network congestion - if there are a lot of other people live streaming the event, sending video files to family or communicating with others by video calls, the limited bandwidth available will be even smaller.
• Crowded Wi-Fi hotspot - same as above - if there is a public Wi-Fi hotspot available in the area, it will most likely be crowded by all the people trying to do the same thing as you - live stream from sports events.

That’s why it’s important to use Speedify to combine multiple Internet connections - if one of them becomes sub-par, Speedify enables the others to compensate it and provide fast, reliable and secure connectivity.

The easiest way for this is to use Speedify’s Pair & Share functionality. This allows you to combine multiple personal hotspots together to increase internet bandwidth and minimize latency for everyone.

Speedify's Pair & Share is like a supercharged personal hotspot. Instead of just one device sharing its internet, all paired devices can both share and receive connections at the same time.

Here’s what you need to do in order to use Speedify’s Pair & Share functionality,:

1. Get the Speedify app on all your devices and connect to the same Wi-Fi network. This can be created by one of your devices or you can use a public Wi-Fi network.
2. Make sure you have Pair & Share enabled on all devices. Start by pairing a device to share and receive.
3. You are now taking advantage of both your and others’ Internet connectivity for faster, more reliable and secure Internet while live streaming from sports events.

Traffic between devices is fully encrypted, and you always maintain full control over which devices can do what - set permissions, limits, or unpair from other devices at any time.

Forget about Internet issues: as long as you have more than one phone to help, preferably from a different carrier, then you should be all good when using Speedify to join all available connections with the Pair & Share functionality.
