I Can’t go Live on Facebook Anymore [SOLVED]

Facebook Live is getting bigger and more popular. Since its debut in 2016. Its broadcasts have doubled year over year, according to the Head of the Facebook App, Fidji Simo. In 2018 alone, there were 3.5 billion broadcasts. That’s nearly half of the world’s global population.

Sadly, often times Facebook doesn’t work properly and you can’t go live. This could be caused by many factors like account error, app caches, internet connection, phone storage etc. Most of the times the real culprit is the poor (slow and/or unreliable) Internet you’re trying to go live from.

Read below to see how to improve your connection and live streams.

As mentioned above, the issue is most likely your connection, you need a fast and stable Internet for best results. Things can go wrong when you’re least expecting:

• your home ISP can do maintenance work, so the Internet might be very slow, if not disconnect altogether.
• your Wi-Fi router and/or modem can have temporary issues.
• if you’re using mobile data Internet, there might be an issue with the cell tower. Or you might have gone over your data plan for 4G / 5G speeds.

Whatever the cause, it’s frustrating that most of us can’t trust our Internet connection and can’t go live on Facebook anymore.

There are several ways to improve your overall internet speed and stability:

Invest into a good internet service.
If you can’t go live on Facebook anymore, you might want to upgrade your internet package. This can be costly, but can pay off very well if you’re making a living out of live streaming.

Get the right gear.
If possible, try using a wired (Ethernet) connection instead of wireless (Wi-Fi, cellular) connections. A wired connection can give you better chances of going live on Facebook and preventing any connection issues.

Have a backup internet connection.
You got your top notch internet plan in place. But, what if that doesn’t work because they’re having infrastructure related problems? Always be ready! Try getting another internet source so you have something to fall back on.

Switching between your main and backup connections means interrupting the Facebook Live stream. To avoid that, use the connections simultaneously with Speedify - the only app that can combine multiple internet sources into one bonded super-connection for more stable and secure live streaming, video calling, and web browsing.
