Technical Troubleshooting Live

Stream issues happen: connection drops, audio fails, scene crashes. Have backup plan. Always recoverable.

Common issues + fixes

1. Audio cuts — check mic, switch to backup, mute and explain
2. Video freezes — refresh OBS scene, restart camera, low bitrate fallback
3. Internet drops — wait 30 sec, then go to backup connection
4. Chat moderation issues — pause stream, mod handles
5. Scene crashes — switch to backup scene (blank slate, music)
6. Trolling/raid — slow mode, follower-only chat, mods ban

Backup plans

Always have:

1. Backup internet — mobile hotspot, secondary ISP
2. Backup mic — second mic ready to switch
3. Backup scene — 'Technical difficulties' placeholder
4. Backup mod — second person available
5. Stream-down plan — what to do if can't recover
6. Health check — verify everything before going live

Communication during issues

1. Don't ignore — acknowledge what's happening
2. Honest about issue — viewers respect transparency
3. Estimate fix time — '30 seconds while I reconnect'
4. Stay calm + professional — sets tone
5. Have backup content — 'Here's a card to talk about while...'
6. End graciously if unrecoverable — 'Apologies, stream back tomorrow'
