According to recent Facebook Live statistics, the platform had 800+ million daily active users at its peak in 2020. Since then, the Facebook Live numbers have gone down, but it's still an important platform, especially for live shopping, with an average overall concurrent viewership of around 30,000.

As you’ve probably seen it yourself, if you’re doing any kind of live video streaming online, the reliability of the Internet connection plays an essential role in a successful broadcast. So how can you make sure you’ll not bump into any Facebook live streaming issues?

The reason for Facebook Live streaming issues is most likely a poor connection to the Internet. You can solve Facebook Live problems by joining your main Internet connection with another Internet source like a Starlink or DSL, 4G, 5G. Whether at home, work, or on-the-go, Speedify works with all live streaming software and social platforms to get you faster, more reliable and secure Internet.

In this article we'll show you how you can fix Facebook Live streaming issues to be able to enjoy the videos.

According to the source cited above, many can’t connect to Facebook live and those who can have trouble streaming. 37% of respondents explicitly state that their Facebook live stream drops mid broadcast because of connection / streaming errors.

Live streaming issues may have many causes, but for ordinary people that do Facebook live broadcasts using their smartphones or tablets, the most common one is an unreliable Internet connection, be it a troublesome WiFi hotspot, poor LTE network coverage or simply the way the mobile devices hands off the connection from one WiFi hotspot / cell tower to another.

In order to get a more reliable Internet connection for live streaming, you’d have to be able to use at least 2 Internet connections at once, so that if one of them drops, you’ll still broadcast on the other one.

Easy to say, expensive to put into practice in most cases – those special “broadcast” bags with small antennas sticking out where you can plug several USB adapters for LTE plus WiFi can go up to several thousand dollars in cost. Plus the mobile carrier subscriptions.

However, there’s another way to do this, more cost effective and not requiring you to carry any excess equipment on you, even when broadcasting from the streets. What if your phone or tablet could be fitted with a software that does that?
