Get Solid Internet Connectivity on StreamYard when You’re Live Streaming
A StreamYard broadcast stays online when its upload speed holds steady. StreamYard is a browser-based studio for live streaming and interviews to Twitch, YouTube, Facebook and more – and Speedify keeps its internet steady. Speedify is an app that combines two or more internet connections at once – Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G/5G cellular – into one faster, steadier upload, and it keeps the stream running if any single connection drops.
Here is how to use StreamYard together with Speedify.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
When one of your connections drops, Speedify automatically routes your traffic to your remaining connections — so calls don't cut out and downloads don't stall.

What Speedify Does to Improve StreamYard Live Streaming
When you’re live streaming, it’s best you are not dependent to a single Internet connection, however good that may be. Some of the common reasons are above. That’s why you should definitely consider using all your available Internet sources at once while you live stream.
Speedify enables you to do exactly that – simultaneously use any connections you might have, including:
- one or multiple wired Ethernet connections;
- one or multiple Wi-Fi networks – your own, public hotspots nearby;
- one or multiple cellular sources – via tethered smartphones, external USB 5G / 4G LTE adapters, MiFi devices.
For best results, every connection should come from a different provider. And that’s to allow you to keep on live streaming if one ISP has issues / outages.
3 Steps to Use StreamYard with Speedify
Step 1 – Connect all available Internet sources to your streaming device
If you’re streaming from your smartphone or tablet:
- connect to a Wi-Fi network
- connect to your cellular data connection
- connect to a wired Ethernet connection (iOS only)
>> Here are the instructions to do that for Android and iOS / iPadOS.
If you’re streaming from your computer, use one or multiple of the following:
- wired Ethernet connection
- Wi-Fi hotspot
- tethered smartphone
- external USB 5G / 4G LTE cellular adapter
>> Here are the instructions to do that for Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Step 2 – Start Speedify and connect to a server
If you don’t have a Speedify subscription yet, you can get it from our website store, the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
Run Speedify and log into your account. All the active Internet sources you connected at step 1 should be recognized by Speedify.
All you have to do now is choose a server to connect to:
- if you have a dedicated server, connect to that. You will get the best performance Speedify can offer for live streaming.
- fastest server – that will connect you to the server that should deliver the best performance;
- you can also manually choose a server in a location near the ingest servers for StreamYard or the streaming platforms – Twitch, YouTube, etc.
Step 3 – Configure StreamYard and start live streaming
Follow the instructions on the StreamYard website to get started for live streaming.
Whenever you’re ready, just start the live stream. You will get the best Internet connectivity by running Speedify, thus, avoiding issues such as low quality, choppy and laggy videos, buffering and even disconnects from the streaming server.
