1. Restart All Livestreaming Devices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Restarting all your live streaming devices like your encoders, microphones, wireless transmitter and receivers before livestreams can help your devices perform better.
If you haven\u2019t rebooted your router in a while, you might want to consider it \u2014 especially if you notice your internet speed is running slower than usual. Router reboots work similarly to restarting your devices and can help make your internet run steadier and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Charge Your Livestreaming Devices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that is quite important for successful live streaming but can be easily overlooked \u2014 is to get your livestreaming devices charged. The last thing you want to happen during your livestream is to have your device shut down in the middle of a stream. Even if you anticipate that your livestream will be fairly quick in length, we would still suggest you fully charge all your livestreaming devices before going live, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Bring a Power Bank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another good idea to avoid potential loss caused by out of power is to plug your live streaming devices to a nearby outlet or bring a power bank with you, especially when the streaming requires constant mobility. This will assure you to stay focused on the streaming quality without being distracted by power issues that will probably ruin your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Test Internet Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Internet connection is the key to a smooth and quality live stream. Conducting a speed test before a live stream lets you know how well is your internet connection, and what resolution to choose to handle the quality of your broadcast in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend you use speedtest.net<\/a> for conducting your internet speeds tests. If you\u2019re using YoloBox\/YoloBox Pro for live streaming, you can simply run a speed test right on the device. YoloBox\/YoloBox Pro supports 3 network connections including WiFi, Ethernet and SIM card. If you want a more consistent and reliable intetnet speed and the situation permits, it\u2019s best to use a wired connection with an ethernet cable. If you\u2019re outside for live streaming, we suggest you bond all available networks for a more stable internet. For YoloBox\/YoloBox Pro users, you can either install Speedify<\/a> or get a LiveU solo<\/a> for network bonding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your internet speed test results, be sure to select the stream quality that best fits with your internet speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
