Use preflight to distinguish blocking failures from advisory risks before starting a live session.

Best for: Organization administrators, event producers, live operators, and authorized support staff.

Before you start

Event access and actions depend on organization role, team scope, plan entitlements, limits, and current event state.

  • Use an individual verified account in the correct organization and team.
  • Confirm the event owner, live operator, output owner, and incident authority.
  • Review the current configuration before changing an existing or live event.

Step by step

Detailed 4All preflight results
Blocking checks must pass before go-live; warnings should be reviewed and documented.
  1. Stabilize configuration. Finish material audio/provider/language/output changes before running.
  2. Run Preflight. Use Check & status or the main action.
  3. Read every result. Separate blocking items from advisories and informational checks.
  4. Resolve blocking failures. Fix required permission/device/provider/credential/entitlement/network/session/output state.
  5. Assign advisories. Name owner, risk, mitigation, and go/no-go authority.
  6. Re-run. Repeat after any fix or material change.
  7. Test downstream. Preflight does not validate every external screen/graphics/decoder/receiver.
  8. Record go/no-go. Document accepted risks and final operator.

What success looks like: The event reaches the intended saved or live state, and every required operator can verify the result without receiving unnecessary access.

Check your setup

  • No unresolved blocker remains; every advisory has an explicit decision; downstream outputs are separately verified.

Troubleshooting

Check stays pending

Inspect network/API/browser state and retry after the dependency settles.

Blocking item unclear

Open the referenced section and use its exact error/status.

Pass becomes fail after change

Revert or correct the change and rerun.

Security and operational notes

  • Never dismiss a blocker to meet a schedule.
  • Accepted advisories remain real risk.
  • Do not treat preflight as compliance certification.
