✅ Must-check items before streaming ✅

📱 When streaming from a phone

• Make sure the app is the latest version. (Shoplive Studio, update from the Play Store or App Store)
• Check that the network is stable! It helps to check the upload speed right before the broadcast too.
• Test that the microphone picks up sound well. For wireless mics, check the battery too!
• An incoming call during the broadcast can cut it off. → Turn on Do Not Disturb or airplane mode to be safe.
• Turn off emergency alert notifications too. (Go to guide)
• The broadcast network should be dedicated to streaming, so avoid connecting other devices to it.
• Charge the battery fully beforehand, and avoid charging while streaming if possible, as it can cause overheating.
• Don’t set the screen brightness too high, and turn off low power mode.
• Swiping to open Control Center or the status bar, or switching to another screen, while streaming can stop the stream.
• Just in case, having a spare device ready gives you peace of mind.

💻 When streaming with OBS (RTMP)

• Double-check that OBS is set up as described in the guide. (Go to guide)
• Make sure the campaign’s Stream Key and Stream URL are entered correctly.
• Avoid other network activity on the streaming PC or laptop.
• Don’t connect other devices to the broadcast network; use it only for streaming.
• If it’s a laptop, keep it plugged in or make sure the battery is sufficient.
• Check that the microphone picks up sound well! For wireless mics, check the battery too.
