1. Start testing no less than 2 weeks before your event takes place to make sure everything is normal.
2. Complete the test from the beginning to the end of your event at least 24 hours in advance. " From start to finish " means your test must accurately simulate your live event including the entire production scenario.
3. 1. Test at least 30 minutes continuously.
   2. Test all video sources.
   3. All cameras, graphic images and advertisements inserted into the video must be viewed in the stream.

5. Connect your encoder to a hard Internet connection not under 1.5Mbps of online reverse bandwidth. You should use this connection separately for your live stream.
6. Check your network thoroughly: Test using the same networks and ISPs that will be used for live events. Testing the bottom of a network download is required in the event.
7. Whenever possible, you should have a backup encoder. This means that there are two separate encoders on two separate networks streaming to separate entry points ( primary and standby ).
8. Remove third-party content: If you decide to include third-party content in the live stream, you must apply for permission to use and monetize this content on YouTube.
9. Do not stream after the firewall: Make sure you have an open connection to the Internet.

3. Promote your live event:

1. Schedule your event at least 48 hours before live streaming
2. Link your Google+ , Facebook, and Twitter accounts to your Channel by clicking on the "Edit link" button next to the channel image section.

4. Create events on Google+ and invite your circles to see live streams. You can add event links under Advanced settings.
5. Link your channel to your website under Account settings → Channel settings → Advanced → Linked website . This will help us improve the quality of our search results and verify your channel as an official representation of your brand on YouTube.
