I’ve drafted a contingency protocol for your next stream to handle latency spikes, unexpected audience surges, and power failures. Shall we review it together?

Here’s the brief plan: 1. Test the stream link 10 minutes before go‑live and note any buffering. 2. Keep a backup server logged in; switch in 30 seconds if latency >200 ms. 3. Set up a queue in the chat to manage viewer questions—one moderator handles the queue, the other keeps the chat lively. 4. Have a pre‑recorded “sponsor pause” ready, so if the main stream hiccups, the sponsor clip plays and the viewers stay engaged. 5. In case of power loss, switch to the UPS‑backed backup monitor and use the same camera angle; announce “technical issue” briefly, then resume. 6. Post‑stream, run a quick audit: log all glitches, note response time, and update the protocol. Ready to run through each step with you?

Great, let’s start with the link test. Turn on the stream link 10 minutes ahead, pull a quick quality check, and log any buffering events. If anything spikes above 200 ms, we hit the backup server in 30 seconds. Ready to set that up?

Alright, open the streaming dashboard now. Start the quality monitor and watch the latency gauge. As soon as it hits 200 ms, switch to the backup server and log the switch time. Let’s do this methodically.

Confirming: dashboard is live, quality monitor on. I’ve logged the start time. Keep your eyes on the latency gauge; if it passes 200 ms, switch and note the exact time. We’ll keep this tight.
