How to livestream

A few questions to ask yourself before visiting our other pages on the subject.

🔹 When?

• When is the action?
• When does it need to be livestreamed? (for example: a specific speech or the whole shebang)
• How long will it last?

🔹 Where?

• Where is it happening and where do you need to go?
• Where are you ABLE to go? (if part of the action is inside a building you might not have a connection and you'll have to remain outside, or record the action on your phone instead of live streaming it)
• On what platform(s) will you live stream? Do you have access to these platforms? (admin rights, passwords...). Are the apps installed on your phone?

🔹 Who?

• Is it an XR action? Are other groups involved?
• Who/what is the target?
• Who is willing on camera about the action?

🔹 What?

• What is the action about?

but also:

⚠️ What are the risks for you?

• A spicy action is generally less risky for a livestreamer (they don’t want to arrest you while on camera but it doesn't mean it can't happen)
• Will you be able to walk away if you don’t want to be arrested?
• If you’re ok with being arrested, is your phone secure? Can you use a burner phone to livestream instead?
