Prepare for a live broadcast

Introduction

This guide contains information on what to expect when participating in a live broadcast, including some simple checks to perform in advance.

What to expect from us:

  • 30 minutes prior to going live, the Wavecast Engineer will greet the speaker(s) in the green room.

  • The Engineer will conduct a speaker briefing including camera and mic checks. This is an opportunity for speakers to check through slides, discuss the flow and ask any technical questions they may have.

  • A preview of the live output will be available via the green room. Speakers should avoid monitoring the broadcast via the audience platform, as they will experience a delay.

  • The Engineer will mix the speakers, graphics, slides and any additional video content.

  • Once the broadcast finishes, the Engineer will take the speakers off air and will confirm once it’s safe to exit the green room.

  • The Producer will share the session recording for you to circulate or publish as suits you. If you are hosting the video via a Wavecast hub, the Producer will publish it for you.

What we expect from you:

To help with a stress-free experience, speakers should complete the following simple checks when joining a live broadcast:

  • Position yourself in a quiet, well lit room.

  • Use a laptop or desktop computer, not a mobile or tablet, to join the green room - and ensure it's plugged in to the power.

  • Use headphones, as audio from the device's speakers may cause interference.

  • A standard webcam is sufficient, with the recommended resolution of 720px.

  • Check the web browser is up-to-date.

  • Check you have a reliable internet connection.

  • Join the green room promptly. It may be worth checking the application is up-to-date in advance of the join time.

  • Silence mobile devices and laptops. Disconnect unnecessary bluetooth devices.

  • Close all programs that you don’t need during the broadcast.

  • Try to position your notes within your natural eyeline, so you are looking to the camera as much as possible, rather than off to the side or below.
