YouTube live streaming helps you connect with your audience in real time. You can hold a Q&A session, stream a video game, teach your 10th grade English class or show off your cooking skills. With live streaming, your audience can see what you’re doing right then and there. This is different from the traditional record and play approach of YouTube.

When live streaming, if you fumble or make an error, your audiences will be able to see that. This gives a real feel to the video. It may result in some funny moments and bloopers, no harm done. However, unlike bloopers, connection issues are not amusing. 

The reason why your YouTube livestream is unstable is most likely a poor connection to the Internet. You can solve YouTube issues by joining your main Internet connection with another Internet source like a Starlink or DSL, 4G, 5G. Whether at home, work, or on-the-go, Speedify works with all live streaming software and social platforms to get you faster, more reliable and secure Internet.

In this article we'll show you how you can avoid YouTube livestream being unstable.

If only one viewer is reporting an error, the probable cause is an issue with their device or connection. In case several users using one network are reporting a problem, the issue is probably with their network. However, if several users on different networks are reporting an issue, the problem might be with your device or network.

If your device is working fine, you need to check your connection. If internet connectivity is decent in your part of the world and your device is okay, the reason for bad connection might be because you’re on the move.

In case you’re making a travel video, you’ll need to depend on Wi-Fi hotspots, which are often slow. Or if you’re in a crowded area (such as a railway platform), a lot of people will be sharing the bandwidth, making the connection slower.

Or if you’re at home and your ISP’s services are down or slow for some reason, you’ll experience problems with YouTube live streaming.

For any of these reasons, if your internet connection is not stable, your viewers will not get the desired output, which means your video will not get views. To make it worse, you might even lose followers.

If you’re having connection problems, you can switch to a faster network. For example, if you’re on the move and the Wi-Fi signal keeps varying, you can switch to your mobile internet. However, using mobile internet can be expensive, especially if you’re not in your home country. There might be roaming charges when you’re in another country.

If you’re at home and the connection is not stable, check if there’s a service outage in your area. Most ISPs provide an outage map that lets you check if there are maintenance activities going on near your location.

In any case, if you’re unable to get a fast connection, you can either switch to another connection or combine multiple slow connections to get a single fast one.

It’s not always easy to find a newer and faster connection. But with Speedify, you can combine slow networks and get one fast network.

Speedify also lets you automatically switch between Wi-Fi and mobile networks. With Speedify, your device can quickly switch to mobile data before the Wi-Fi signal gets slow or is lost. And when you get the signal back, it will automatically connect you to it to save your mobile data.

Speedify uses a technology called channel bonding. It combines multiple networks to create one strong network. Whether you want to combine all Wi-Fi networks or Wi-Fi with mobile, it can do it all. You can combine even 10 networks at a time.

And even if you have just one network, you can still get a speed boost by fixing packet loss. Speedify monitors your traffic and detects lost packets before any program realizes. It quickly transmits the packets before your speeds are affected.

And that’s not all. Speedify also encrypts your data to make sure it stays secure as it travels on the internet. With its advanced encryption, your activities cannot be monitored by hackers, your ISP, or even the government.

If you’re planning to live stream on YouTube and don’t have a stable connection, make sure you’re also using Speedify.
