Forget About Buffering and Disconnects While Steaming your Yoga Classes
Halfway through a pose is a terrible moment for your class to freeze, and students cannot correct their alignment from a stalled picture. Home Wi-Fi is usually the reason, since it has to send video out continuously and rarely has much upload capacity to spare.
Speedify is an app that puts your internet traffic on several internet connections at once (home Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and others), so the class keeps transmitting when one of them weakens. Speedify needs two or more internet connections for this. On a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop that connection from dropping.
Speedify keeps the stream up when the venue internet does not
Everything below covers the gear you genuinely need, what makes a yoga stream stutter, and how using Speedify lets you teach without interruptions.
A yoga class stream needs three things from the internet connection:
- reliability: no disconnects
- speed: enough upload bandwidth and low latency, so the video quality does not drop
- security: an encrypted connection while streaming
Problems During Your Yoga Classes Live Stream?
In most cases it’s about the capacity of your internet connection. A lot of bandwidth is required to ensure your yoga classes live stream is smooth with crisp audio and video. The same goes for live workout classes streamed on Zoom.
Here’s what usually happens, from a more technical perspective:
- There’s not enough bandwidth available for your live stream so either the quality drops (jittery / choppy video) and/or you see disconnects
- Spotty Wi-Fi coverage leads to disconnects
- The Wi-Fi hotspot is offline, but your device stays connected to it: your phone or tablet clings to it because it cannot tell the hotspot is not working. So, instead of switching to 4G/5G cellular to keep the stream going, the device drops the stream.
What can you do to livestream your classes without headaches? Read below.
How to Live Stream a Yoga Class with Speedify
- Download Speedify on the phone or computer you teach from (Windows, macOS, iOS or Android).
- Open Speedify and create a free account (the free tier includes 5 GB per month), or sign in.
- Give Speedify a second internet connection: on a phone, keep Wi-Fi on and turn on Cellular Data (Mobile Data on Android); on a computer, add a second connection such as Ethernet, a second Wi-Fi network or a phone shared over USB or Personal Hotspot.
- Connect. Speedify uses both connections at once and moves the stream to the working one when one drops.
- Open Zoom, YouTube or the app you teach on and start the class as usual.
Get a Stable Internet Connection to Live Stream Yoga Classes Stress Free
Bottom line: you want to avoid being disconnected while livestreaming your classes, and to keep the video quality steady. Relying on a single ISP can get you in trouble, so relying on two or more ISPs is better. The best case for live streaming with solid internet is to combine 2 or more connections at once from different ISPs with an app designed for streaming like Speedify.
Speedify combines internet connections, so you can use 2 (or more) connections at the same time. Speedify runs as software on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux, so it works on 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 Helps Live Stream Your Yoga Class Without Internet Issues
Speedify customers say the same. Here’s an example.
As a VPN that combines internet connections, Speedify acts like a power-up for your device. Instead of using a single internet connection at a time, Speedify lets your device use multiple connections simultaneously, so you get more upload bandwidth and more stable livestreams.
Speedify constantly monitors the quality of your internet connections. If the Wi-Fi becomes unreliable, Speedify automatically reroutes data through your 4G/5G cellular connection until Wi-Fi is available again.
Speedify’s Streaming Mode, on by default, identifies audio and video streams and gives them priority over other traffic (quality of service, or QoS), so web browsing and software updates do not slow down your calls and live streams.
