Use the Speedify App to Improve Facebook Live Streams Video Quality by Combining Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G / 5G Cellular at the Same Time
Are you broadcasting live video streams to Facebook? Encountering issues related to Internet bandwidth, latency (lag) or jittery / choppy video quality reported by your watchers? Or you just want to improve Facebook live broadcasts so your friends can watch you in 1080p resolution?
The reason for Facebook Live broadcasts issues is most likely a poor connection to the Internet. You can solve these 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 improve Facebook Live broadcasts to be able to enjoy the videos without any 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.

Why Am I Getting Facebook Live Streaming Connectivity Issues?
It’s not only you and it’s not even related to Facebook live streaming. We’ve all been there – experiencing slow Internetand even disconnects at some point. But it’s most annoying when you’re doing Facebook Live broadcasts.
The most common situations where you might encounter these type of connectivity issues with Facebook live streams include:
- On the move / traveling – on the street, bus, train. You may be connected to a bad / spotty WiFi hotspot.
- In crowded areas – the available bandwidth may not be sufficient to serve everyone on a stadium, at a concert or at a frat house party.
- At home – if your ISP is doing maintenance work right when you’re broadcasting live streams to Facebook. Or maybe you’re paying for a certain download/upload speed and you’re not getting that.
Here’s what happens: if the connection is slow, you may not be live streaming to Facebook at a high resolution due to limited available bandwidth, so your videos may appear jittery / choppy. Plus – if your Internet connection is spotty and disconnects for some reason – your viewers are left watching the Facebook loading screen.
How Speedify Improves Facebook Live Broadcasts by Combining Multiple Internet Connections
If the Internet connection speed and latency causes issues with your Facebook Live video streams, then you should get more bandwidth, preferably from more sources.
Speedify is a software app that gets you faster, more reliable and secure Internet by allowing you to use multiple Internet connections at the same time. By doing that, you’re not only solving the bandwidth and latency issues related to Facebook live broadcasts, but also the need for an automatic failover mechanism that needs to kick in should anything happen to one of your connections.
In order to combine 2 or more Internet connections simultaneously, Speedify uses patent pending channel bonding technology to do that – it’s the only software-only solution that can run on any device, whether it’s a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone or tablet.
If one of your connections fails, Speedify automatically reroutes all the traffic through your other available connection(s). This happens in the background without you having to do anything. When the dropped connection is back online, Speedify will pick it up and start using it again.
