How to Get the Best Live Streaming Quality with Ecamm Live and Speedify
The 9th episode of Speedify Live is a real collaborative effort with Ecamm Live, co-hosted with Doc Rock, community manager of Ecamm Live, one of the most popular, and easy-to-use livestreaming software for MacOS.
We chat to Doc Rock and his community about all things Speedify: from how it all works, to how it can help improve your livestreaming experience.
Here are our 5 takeaways from our chat with Doc Rock:
- Speedify is a tool that is officially Doc tested, Doc recommended and Doc approved! Doc Rock tells us that Speedify has saved this very stream 6 times from excessive latency due to packet loss!
- The Speedify software itself supports up to 31 internet connections! The Speedify team has even managed to successfully connect and combine 16 connections on an iPhone by hooking up the device to a USB hub with 14 other devices connected and sharing their connections.Â
- Speedify offers a seamless failover between connections by keeping some packets in a buffer until the app knows they’ve been delivered. So in case a connection drops, the app is able to re-send the same packets over the next available connection and fail over to it without you even noticing.Â
- Speedify also offers Family and Team plans: with Families you can have 5 users for the price of one and a half; while with Teams you can have as many users as you want, and even buy a Dedicated Server that would be exclusive to your team!
- When it comes to streaming, the Speedify app prioritizes your stream traffic over any other online traffic, so it can make sure that your call or livestream goes on uninterrupted! You can even do a Livestream Test that tells you if your connection is suitable for a stream.
