Better Instagram Live Streaming: Combine Multiple Internet Connections Together – Like Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, and DSL – with Speedify
An Instagram live stream looks sharp when its upload speed stays steady. Speedify is an app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite internet connections at the same time into one faster, steadier upload, and it keeps the stream running if any single connection drops. With only one connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot make that connection’s upload faster.
If your Instagram Live lags or drops, you are not the only one with this problem. Here is why it happens, even on fast Wi-Fi, and how to improve your Instagram live streaming video quality with Speedify.
How do I use WiFi and 4G/5G cellular at the same time with Speedify?
Pick your two internet connections and your device below and we'll take you to the step-by-step setup guide.
Why Instagram Live Streams Lag, Blur and Drop
Disconnects and slow Internet are annoying anywhere, and most of all in the middle of an Instagram Live broadcast.
Connection problems during Instagram Live streams usually happen in these situations:
- On the move: on the street, a bus or a train, you may be connected to a bad or spotty Wi-Fi hotspot.
- In crowded areas: the available bandwidth may not be enough for everyone in a stadium, at a concert or at a house party.
- At home: your ISP may be doing maintenance work right when you go live on Instagram, or you may not be getting the download and upload speed you pay for.
Here’s what happens: if the connection is slow, you may not be able to stream to Instagram at a high resolution, so your videos may appear jittery / choppy. If your Internet connection disconnects, your viewers are left watching the Instagram loading screen. A fast Wi-Fi speed test does not rule this out, because most speed tests headline the download number, while a live stream depends on an upload speed that stays steady second by second.
How Speedify Improves Instagram Live Streaming Video Quality
If a slow or unsteady connection makes your Instagram Live lag or drop, the fix is more upload bandwidth, preferably from more than one internet connection. If you stream on the move, see how to stream IRL on Instagram Live.
With Speedify, you use multiple Internet connections at the same time, so your Instagram Live stream gets more upload bandwidth, plus an automatic failover mechanism that keeps the stream going if one of your connections drops.
To combine 2 or more Internet connections at the same time, Speedify splits your traffic packet by packet across all of them. No extra hardware is needed: Speedify runs on a desktop or laptop computer, a smartphone or a tablet (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux).
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 Also Encrypts Your Connection While You Stream on Instagram
Speedify doesn’t just get you a fast and reliable Internet connection when live streaming to Instagram. Speedify also works as a true mobile VPN: military-grade encryption protects you from compromised Wi-Fi networks and snooping hackers, so your private data stays under your control.
Before Speedify, users often had to choose between security and speed. Because Speedify was designed with speed as one of its primary goals, with two or more internet connections you do not have to sacrifice speed for security. You can have both.
If you do Instagram live streaming on the go or from an unreliable Internet connection, Speedify helps keep your broadcast sharp and online. Get started with Speedify today: the free tier gives you 5 GB per month with a free account.
