Prepare a broadcast checklist after changing computers

Moving a broadcast to another computer requires checking the whole route, because device names and local files may not follow the old setup.

A practical procedure

1. Verify cameras, microphones, output devices and required media files on the replacement computer.

2. Open the intended product information and check account access without exposing credentials in screenshots.

3. Record a short rehearsal containing a scene change, an answer and an audio transition.

Worked example: a fictional session

A fictional operator discovers that a USB headset is selected as output on the new computer and corrects it before the rehearsal recording.

Check the limits

Copying a settings file does not confirm that its referenced devices or paths exist.
