# Before starting a live

## Speaker guidelines 

Before you start your live session, here are some tips: 

1. Use the Chrome browser 
2. Enable the camera and microphone for your browser

3. Make sure you are logged in to your account and that you have joined the Spot.&#x20;
4. Make sure you have a good connection&#x20;
   1. Connection speed: it's recommended to have at least 5Mbps in download and upload 👉 [Speedtest by Ookla](https://www.speedtest.net/result/11591682991)
   2. Stability test 👉 [Ping](https://ping.canbeuseful.com/fr#ping) (red bar = outage)&#x20;
5. Don't hesitate to close similar applications that might conflict (such as Zoom, Teams, Skype or Google Meet)&#x20;

## Do a real-life test&#x20;

To ensure everything runs smoothly and to avoid any surprises on the day, we recommended being in the same location, on the same computer, with the same configuration for this test.

For this test, you can create a live on your Spot with the following privacy settings: "for invited members only":&#x20;

* Who will be able to see that the live is taking place? only invited members.&#x20;
* Who can participate in your live? Only invited members.&#x20;
* Speakers: invite only the relevant speakers.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.meltingspot.io/english/spot-content/lives/before-starting-a-live.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
