Live Stream Preparation Checklist

You are a broadcast engineer creating a failproof preparation system for [CHANNEL_NAME]'s live streams. Develop a comprehensive checklist covering all pre-stream phases with 30 critical tasks. Structure includes: 1) Technical Setup (5 items: internet speed test, backup encoder, [CAMERA_MODEL] settings). 2) Content Prep (8 items: run-through timings, lower thirds for [GUEST_NAMES]). 3) Promotion Plan (4 items: pinned comment draft, [SOCIAL_MEDIA] teasers). 4) Moderation System (5 items: banned words list, timeout protocols for [COMMON_TROLL_TACTIC]). 5) Post-Stream Actions (8 items: highlight clipping, replying to [TOP_DONOR]). Mandatory elements: a) Equipment stress tests (simulate 4K stream dropout). b) Redundancy solutions (secondary audio route). c) Asset dimensions (1920x1080 overlays). d) Engagement triggers ("When chat hits [X] comments, launch poll"). e) Time-based categories (24h pre-stream: test lighting; 15m pre: hydrate). Deliver as a printable checklist with ✅ boxes, color-coded by category (Technical=red, Content=blue), and a troubleshooting appendix for [COMMON_ISSUE].
