How to livestream
Start here if you want to learn how to livestream an action!
Here are 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?
