Is Slack Offline or Are You Having Connection Issues?

Slack is now the main way of communication for many offices. We use Slack on our laptops, tablets, and mobile devices to stay up to date on work. No one wants to see Slack offline, but this inevitably happens. Why? Well, Slack requires a fast and secure Internet connection to work properly.

The reason for your Slack going offline is most likely a poor connection to the Internet. So, solving the problem means getting a fast, stable and secure connection. Read below how to get that for you and your team.

As mentioned above, the most common cause of Slack being offline is actually the Internet you’re using. When you have a slow or unreliable Internet connection, your Slack isn’t able to work properly. Sometimes, you may not even realize that you have a Slack connection issue until you try and use the service. And it’s most annoying when it happens during an important business call.

Slack uses a lot of bandwidth, especially for video calls. Your device is sending a complex set of data packets to the device of the person you are trying to talk to, their device is sending packets of data to you.

If your Wi-Fi connection has a momentary blip or your cellular connection fluctuates, some of the flow of those packets gets interrupted. It can take a few moments for the data to catch up.

This results in Slack calls where the audio cuts in and out, where the video lags, and where the audio and video don’t sync properly. It can also lead to Slack disconnecting and going offline.

Speedify is a bonding VPN that changes the way your computer or mobile device connects to the Internet. Instead of just using one connection, Speedify can combine 2 or more connections at the same time. This instantly increases your connection bandwidth and reliability and provides a better Slack experience. You’ll be able to get work done in any situation.

Speedify also monitors the quality of your Internet connections. When it detects that a signal is weak or that the network is too slow (remember public WiFi?), it will automatically and seamlessly reroute the data through the other working connection(s). And when the “original” connection is back online, Speedify begins using it again.
Say goodbye to Slack going offline!

Speedify does more than just manage your Internet connections. It is also a fast bonding VPN that encrypts all of the data you send and receive from your device. This helps keep your private information and conversations secure from digital eavesdroppers and cyber criminals.

Speedify makes your Slack app more stable and secure, and improves your overall Internet experience.
