Houseparty App Slow? Here’s the Solution!
One of the best things about today’s technology is the ability to videoconference with people all around the world at any time. The Houseparty app is one of the best video chatting apps out there, allowing you to easily network in several different users at one time. Except, sometimes the Houseparty app is painfully slow. You may notice a lag between what you see people saying and when you actually hear what they were saying. When the Houseparty app is really slow you may even get booted off.
Keep reading to see what you can do when you get a slow Houseparty app.
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Best for fixed locations. Different network, so outages rarely overlap.

Adds redundancy and throughput for remote sites or heavy usage.

Why Is My Houseparty App Slow?
If the Houseparty app is running slow for you, it may not be the fault of the app or your phone. Most likely the issue is worth your Internet connection. The Houseparty app requires a lot of data be sent back and forth from your device to the Internet to get a smooth video chatting experience.
If your connection cannot handle that much data, you will start seeing the lagging and buffering that makes video chatting so frustrating. You should make sure that your router is working properly and has up to date firmware. If your router is working or you are connected to a public Wi-Fi hotspot, the problem is with the ISP. They are not delivering enough bandwidth.
But, you don’t have to spend hours on the phone trying to work things out with your ISP. You can just use Speedify.
