Use Speedify to Live Stream Kids Basketball
A youth basketball game gets filmed from one end of a gym with concrete walls and a metal roof, surfaces that block cellular signal before your phone reaches the tower. Add a holiday tournament crowd on the same cell sector and the upload from the baseline gives out by the second quarter.
Speedify is an app that runs one device’s internet over Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular together, so one weak internet connection is no longer the whole story. 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.

Further down: what makes gyms unkind to live video, how Speedify’s cellular sharing feature draws on the 4G/5G cellular connection of a second phone in the stands, and the setup order before tip-off.
Reasons Why Live Streaming Kids Basketball Is Difficult Sometimes
In order to live stream kids basketball games, you need Internet connectivity that you can rely on. The same goes if you live stream youth volleyball games from a crowded convention hall. 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.
Speedify: a Must Have when Live Streaming Kids Basketball for Faster, More Reliable and Secure Internet
Use Speedify’s cellular sharing feature, which lets you combine the 4G/5G cellular connections of several phones to increase internet uploads and downloads for everyone.
Speedify’s cellular sharing feature is a new kind of 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’ basketball games. You can use the same setup to 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.
