TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED LIVE STREAMING:

1. Determine your strategic goals including the outcomes you want to see from the live stream

2. Identify the live stream tools and technology you need including lighting, access to a good internet or wifi connection and the platform you plan to use

3. Ensure that you pay attention to the quality of your audio so consider using a microphone and you may need headphones to avoid feedback

4. Check you have the rights to include the people and the content you plan to include in your live stream - including music rights, image rights and the permission to live stream in the location you are in

5. Take the time to test in advance of your live stream especially if you have people joining you as remote guest who are not familiar with the live stream tool or platform you are using
