Live Stream Youth Sports Without Glitches: Use Speedify to Join Multiple Phones’ Hotspots at the Same Time for Faster, more Reliable and Secure Internet
Every youth sports broadcast fails in the same few places: no usable venue Wi-Fi, a cell sector shared with a hundred families, a phone showing full bars while uploading at a crawl, and one internet connection with nothing behind it. Knowing those four tells you what to set up before kickoff.
Speedify is an app that uses two or more internet connections at the same time, such as your phone’s 4G/5G cellular plus a second phone’s connection, so a wobble on one does not end the broadcast. 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 gets the game online when the field has no internet
Work through the points below and you will know what makes streaming a kids’ game unreliable, how Speedify’s cellular sharing feature joins several phones’ 4G/5G cellular connections, and what to set up at the field.
Reasons Why Live Streaming Youth Sports Is Difficult Sometimes
In order to live stream youth sports, like your children’s games, you need an internet connection you can rely on. Here are a few reasons why you usually don’t get that by only using one connection:
- 4G/5G cellular network congestion: if a lot of parents are live streaming their kids’ games, sending video files to family or making video calls, the limited bandwidth available gets even smaller.
- Crowded Wi-Fi hotspot: for the same reason, a public Wi-Fi hotspot in the area will most likely be crowded by other parents trying to do the same thing as you.
That’s why it’s important to use Speedify to combine multiple internet connections: if one of them becomes sub-par, Speedify moves the traffic to the others, so the connection stays fast, reliable and secure.
Combine Several Phones’ 4G/5G Cellular for a Youth Sports Live Stream
The easiest way to do this is Speedify’s cellular sharing feature (called Pair & Share in the app). Cellular sharing lets you share and combine 4G/5G cellular connections between devices to create a faster, more reliable connection for everyone.
Speedify’s cellular sharing feature works like a supercharged personal hotspot. Instead of just one device sharing its internet, all paired devices can both share and receive connections at the same time.
Here’s how to use Speedify’s cellular sharing feature:
- Get the Speedify app on all your devices and connect them to the same Wi-Fi network. If there is no Wi-Fi network you can use, turn on Personal Hotspot on one phone and connect the other devices to it (Personal Hotspot is not needed on every phone).
- In Speedify, go to Settings > Pair & Share, turn on Sharing and/or Receiving, tap “Start by Pairing a Device” and pick the other device under Discovered Devices. The other user accepts the pairing.
- You are now taking advantage of both your and others’ Internet connectivity for faster, more reliable and secure Internet while live streaming your kids’ games. The same steps work when you live stream kids’ softball games.
Traffic between devices is fully encrypted, and you always keep full control over which devices can do what: set permissions, limits, or unpair from other devices at any time.
