Speedify Enhance Streaming Overview

This article explains what Speedify's Enhance Streaming feature does and how to enable it. If you live stream, make Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, or use video conferencing apps like Zoom, Google Meet, Slack Calls, WhatsApp, Skype, or Microsoft Teams, Enhance Streaming is the right mode for you.

What Does Speedify's Enhance Streaming Do?

When you enable Enhance Streaming, Speedify automatically identifies your audio and video streams and does three things:

• Prioritizes your streaming internet traffic over other types of internet traffic (like web browsing or software updates) so those activities don't interrupt your calls or live streams. This is called Quality of Service (QoS).
• Monitors your stream's bandwidth needs and watches how each of your internet connections is performing in real time.
• Switches between bonding and redundancy based on which bonding mode will serve your stream better at any given moment - even if conditions are changing, like when you're on a moving train.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

• If you're on a conference call at the edge of your Wi-Fi network's range and packets are being dropped, Speedify will send those packets over both your Wi-Fi connection and your 4G/5G Cellular or Ethernet connection simultaneously, then deliver whichever copy arrives first. Your call stays connected even on an unreliable connection.
• If you're trying to live stream at 10 Mbps but your Wi-Fi connection only gives you 7 Mbps and your 4G/5G Cellular connection gives you 5 Mbps, Speedify will bond the two - sending roughly 7 Mbps over Wi-Fi and 3 Mbps over cellular (13 Mbps total) - and reassemble the stream on the Speedify Server before delivering it to your streaming platform (like Twitch or Facebook Live).
• If you're streaming at 10 Mbps on a 100 Mbps Wi-Fi connection with low latency and no packet loss, Speedify will send everything over Wi-Fi and keep monitoring. If conditions change, Speedify will change the bonding mode automatically.

How to Turn On Enhance Streaming

Step 1

Tap the settings icon to open the main Settings menu.

Step 2

Under the Session Settings section, tap Bonding Mode.

Enhance Streaming is enabled by default. Note that Enhance Streaming is only available when you're using Speed bonding mode.

Stream Statistics

Once Enhance Streaming is active, your current streams will appear at the bottom of your Dashboard. The number shown next to Active tells you how many streams Speedify is detecting right now.

To see streams that have already ended, tap Completed from the Dashboard.

You can also review your stream history under My Statistics.
