Studio readiness
Layouts and scenes are prepared for each part of the session.
Slides, demos, or media are ready to share.
Chat, Q&A, polls, and reactions are set up the way you want them.
Any additional streaming destinations show as healthy before you go live.
Recording settings are understood by the team.
CTAs and follow-up
The main next step for attendees is clear.
Live and replay CTAs are ready, if you plan to use them.
Payment CTAs are connected to Stripe, if you are taking paid action from the broadcast.
Follow-up segments are planned for registrants, live attendees, replay viewers, CTA clickers, and no-shows.
Right before going live
Join the studio early.
Confirm audio and video for every presenter.
Check the watch page from an attendee perspective.
Confirm the run of show and who will manage audience engagement.
Start only when the team is ready and the attendee experience looks correct.
After the broadcast
Check that the recording and replay are available.
Review audience CRM activity, engagement insights, and CTA performance.
Export or sync contacts if needed.
Send follow-up based on what each person did, not just whether they registered.
