Get a Stable Internet Connection For Your Zoom Wedding

The Internet connection is essential for live streaming your wedding. You want to avoid broadcasting poor quality video or being disconnected. Relying on a single Internet connection can get you in trouble. So, relying on two or more connections is better. Best case scenario for streaming your Zoom wedding with solid Internet: you combine 2 or more connections at once from different ISPs with a channel bonding app designed for streaming like Speedify. 

Make sure you mention Speedify to your Streaming Coordinator. It uses channel bonding technology to use 2 or more connections at the same time. Speedify is the only software bonding service 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.
