Is YouNow Slow, Laggy, or Not Loading?
STOP BUFFERING AND LEARN HOW TO FIX THESE COMMON ISSUES.
YouNow is an internet sensation. It combines the best features of sites like YouTube and Periscope, and is available as a powerful and addictive app. One of YouNow’s best features is how long the live streams can be. But, it’s frustrating when you are trying to watch your favorite YouNow broadcaster on a slow connection.
You want to see the action, not a buffering screen. It’s even worse if you are trying to broadcast to connect to your fans, but your connection keeps timing out, ruining your show. Luckily, Speedify has the solution for your slow YouNow connection issues.
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.

Speedify Feature · Pair & Share
Speedify Pair & Share: share cellular between your devices, both ways
Most hotspots give. Speedify's Pair & Share gives and takes. Two devices running Speedify pair up and each uses the other's cellular connection simultaneously, so you both get faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier connection. No extra hardware, no new data plans, no setup beyond a tap.

No new gear
Runs on devices already running Speedify, over your local network. Pair once, reconnects automatically.
What’s Causing Your Slow YouNow Connection?
Most of the time the reason YouNow is slow for you is because of your internet connection. Your phone and tablet are not using their full capabilities. By default, mobile devices either connect to the internet through wifi or through a cell signal. But, all wireless signals can fluctuate. You may have great wifi reception at your desk, but when you move across the room go go downstairs the signal strength can drop.
This drop in signal interrupts the flow of data between your phone and the YouNow servers. It is the biggest problem for anyone watching or creating a live stream.
Speedify is the Solution to your Slow YouNow Issues
Speedify offers a simple solution. It opens up your device’s full capabilities. The Speedify app uses both your wifi and cell signal to connect to the internet at the same time. This gives you a stable, lighting fast connection. With this app, you don’t have to worry about lag, buffering, or dropped connections. You can watch all the YouNow you want.
Speedify works in the background on your device, optimizing your connections and signal strength. It is equipped with auto failover, so if one of your connections goes down instead of ending your stream, Speedify automatically reroutes all the data through your existing connection keeping your session alive. Once the connection is reestablished, Speedify begins using both connections again.
